A mistaken assessment of the situation, negligence, false information in some area. Hidden dangers, an unknown enemy, deception, peril.

The Moon is a mystical tarot card; it reveals the hidden sides of life. It may point to a person's secrets or to the hidden sides of their soul. The card can give hints about dangers or unpleasant moments ahead, in which a person will experience envy or begin to feel jealous. This is an unfavourable time, when it will not be possible to push forward on courage and strength alone.

The Moon card points to approaching danger. You should exercise maximum caution and think through every action. Remember that it will not be possible to control every event, so certain unpleasant surprises may occur. It is possible that some of the information you receive will be incomplete. The risk of becoming a victim of manipulation increases. Life may change suddenly. You will have to pass through a series of difficult and unpleasant situations. The most dangerous thing is that at first you will not take them seriously, which puts you at risk of making a fatal mistake and stumbling.

The Moon Tarot Card in Different Tarot Decks

Meaning in Situations

The Moon warns of lies or fraud, of dishonesty or self-deception. The card says that you are entering a period of instability and uncertainty. The obstacles around you lie within your subconscious. That means the first opponent you will have to fight in order to reach your goal is yourself. Or it means that everything hidden is becoming clear and visible. You will have the opportunity to apply your talent in literature, painting, psychology or psychiatry. You should listen to your dreams and your intuition. Perhaps in this particular situation it is more important to trust your feelings and sensations than calculation and analysis.

A road. The unknown. Regarding the weather — dampness, rawness, rain.

Work

Tourism, connected with trips to (or across) water. In other cases it may indicate enemies, competitors, intrigue and hidden risk. Unstable working conditions. Signing documents that contain hidden text in fine print. May mean talks about staff cuts, or running around in search of work.

Health

Very poor health. Dangerous illnesses connected with fluids (blood, lymph, kidneys, cancer, gynaecology). Mental illnesses (schizophrenia, autism).

Relationships

Deception. A relationship that is not out in the open.

Personality Type

A deep inner world. Clairvoyants and dreamers. They take everything painfully. Careful in relationships. May hide behind a strong mask, yet inwardly they are gentle and easily hurt. They need emotional protection. Creative, but more emotional than brilliant. Suicidal tendencies. Especially susceptible to magical influence.

Advice and Warning

Be careful. Take note of your partners' character (might they be lying?). Meditate. Pay attention to your dreams and your intuition. There is a risk of mistaking the desired for the actual.

Yes or No

Neither one nor the other. An imprecise question. An unpredictable situation. The questioner is taking wishful thinking for reality. It should be checked with other cards.

Reversed Card Meaning

In the reversed position the Moon card does not always point to approaching danger, but it does have negative aspects. The card reveals your fears and bad premonitions. It may also indicate a nightmare — for example, one you see in your sleep. Perhaps certain episodes from your dreams keep you from going to bed in peace, because you worry that they will come true. Since the Moon is a mystical card, it can also reveal your fear of mysticism, spells, magic or darkness. You may be living in illusions.
