The Moon

Upright

Not everything is as it appears in moonlight. The Moon asks you to name your fears — most shrink when named.

Reversed

Confusion lifting. What was distorted returns to true proportion; trust the dawn.

Reading The Moon by position

Past

In the past position, The Moon names what you are carrying forward — the chapter of illusion and dreams that shaped the current question. The reading asks what of it still travels with you, and what can be set down.

Present

At the center of the spread, The Moon is the energy in the room right now. Read upright, it is the active ingredient of your week; read reversed, it is the same energy turned inward or blocked. Either way, it asks for attention before action.

Future

In the outcome position, The Moon suggests the matter resolves through illusion — not as fate, but as the direction things lean if you keep walking the current road. Cards describe weather; you remain the pilot.
