✦ The symbol of the card · Upright ✦

Beneath the Moon stand two towers, two dogs howling and a crayfish climbing out of the water. The Moon is the realm of dreams, emotions and illusions: move forward by intuition.

A veil of doubts surrounds you, and it is hard to see clearly. Decide nothing in the fog, it will lift in its own time.

✦ What it says about your life ✦

In love
Doubts, things left unsaid, or a raw sensitivity that needs soothing. Bring light to what hides beneath the surface.
At work
Blur or unspoken tensions: move by intuition and clarify before you commit. Be wary of appearances in your dealings.
Money
Financial blur: check the details, beware of illusions and scams. Sign nothing before everything has been brought to light.
Health & energy
Emotions running close to the skin: care for your sleep and your inner balance. Your body responds to your inner world.

Tell your fears apart from reality before you act.
