Major Arcana - The Moon

As the Fool keeps walking into the night he meets a wolf and a dog howling at the Moon. These two creatures symbolise our instincts and animal nature, they also warn us of danger. The moonlight is the Spirit descending into physical matter. The crayfish emerging from the murky pool symbolises contact with the unconscious but also a secret goal. The Fool is taught understanding of the physical world but also probes into the very Heart of the Soul. Even though there might be hardship, you need to find the Ultimate Truth reflected in the Moon's Light.

The Fool needs to Trust his Intuition more than ever here, he faces sorrow, hopelessness and disappointment but Intuition will take him deeper into the labyrinth of his heart where he'll find a way out. There's no way back, it's blocked by the water, so the only way is forward, away from ignorance. Will he remember his scattered dreams and memories before they're collected by the Moon goddess in her silver jar? At daybreak they'll yet again turn to dew...



In the Kabbalah the number 18 stands for error, magic and superstition. It corresponds to the number 90 and symbolises a new world. Esoterically it's shadow, darkness and illusion... 

The Moon helps you out whenever you need her, she's like balm to your karmic soul. Seeking psychic and spiritual guidance, turn to her and she'll guide you. Observe the phases like you do your emotions and feel and connect with those before you who have done the same...
