Light and Shadow
The path ahead is shrouded in mist, shadows stretch and dance, twisting into shapes both familiar and strange.
This is when illusions hum with truths, and truths hide in illusion.
This is the realm of The Moon. Intuition reigns where logic falters. Where only trust in your inner knowing will guide you forward.
So I ask you: How comfortable are you with uncertainty? Will you embrace the unknown without needing all the answers?
What is The Moon?
The Moon is the card of intuition, illusions, and the subconscious.
It appears when things are not as they seem, urging you to look beyond surface appearances and trust your instincts.
This is a time of deep reflection, of navigating dreams, fears, and hidden truths.
