The Tarot card The Moon is quite interesting, in that it carries the dualities of our tamed and untamed sides. In the traditional Rider-Waite version of the card we see the dog, representing the tame side of ourselves, and the wolf, representing our untamed side. The Moon also carries the dual qualities of grounded ness and illusion.

In a reading, the Moon can indicate an awakening of psychic abilities, or an active dreamtime. The Seeker is being asked to be aware of the content of their dreams, and to realize that the images and symbols carry messages for them. It is also a time to look at what is real and what is illusion in the Seeker’s life. It is a time of creativity, and listening to one’s intuition.

Look to the cycles that may be repeating in your life. What do you need to know about them? How are you reacting to them? What changes do you need to make? What around you may be secretive in nature? Who around you may be deceiving you? Are you deceiving yourself?

Working with the Moon, and the cycles of the Moon (especially the New Moon, the time of beginnings, and the Full Moon, the time of bringing things together and of endings) connects us with our psychic nature, our intuitive/creative abilities, and our ability to see life as it really is.
