When you discover the Moon Tarot, you can become more intuitive to the mysteries of the universe. It signifies your fears and motivations, the uncertainty, and the unknown. Let’s learn more about the Moon Tarot and what it symbolizes in a reading.
What is the mystery behind the Moon Tarot?
The Moon Tarot, just like the moon in the night sky itself, is surrounded by mysteries. It is a card of uncertainty and occult. The card depicts a moon in the sky placed between two towers. It symbolizes your dreams and intuition. Even though the moon shines brightly against the night sky, its light is weaker than the light of the sun. It illuminates a narrow path between the two towers which is said to represent the journey to higher consciousness.
At the bottom of the card, you can see a wolf on one side and a dog on the other, howling at the moon. This represents the different aspects of our minds, one which we control and the other which is the subconscious. In the foreground of the card, there is a river, which stands for our subconscious as well, and the small crayfish in the water represents the journey from the unconscious to consciousness.
