“Existence flows past us like a river: the ‘what’ is in constant flux, the ‘why’ has a thousand variations…”.
–Marcus Aurelius

The Moon Tarot Card Description:

A situation in flux.

There is a place shroud in darkness and illusion, the only light is seeping in from the moon through the broken windows. The desolate skeleton of a house creaks, groans. The Darkness in the corners is thick playing tricks on your eyes as the shadows dash back and forth. The only thing more unsettling than the sound of dripping water despite the lack of sinks, is stepping in warm viscous liquid. There’s no use worrying about it now, just drift through the night and wait until morning, the sun reveals al truths.

Two pillars stand with a moon between them against a blue sky and a churning mountain range in the distance. A gold path lead to a pond all the way from the horizon through the mountains. The eyes of moon are closed, face tilted down. In its shape you can depict all its phases. Before the two pillars are dogs, howling at the moon. One is lighter than the other, and before them in a small pond a lobster crests the shore to greet the light.

Meaning

A situation that is in flux is the mystery behind The Moon. The new endeavor you are on will not establish a foundation until all other possibilities have been cleared from the board. An assessment of skills, perseverance, compatibility or knowledge hangs in the balance between success and failure. Proving you possess the necessary qualities, and applying them in action is the only way to prove your value.

Any attempts to control this situation will only reveal your lack of sovereignty. Nothing is certain here; you’re lost, it’s dark and you can’t see your compass in the pitch. You’re not about to turn on your flashlight because you’re more comfortable with not drawing attention to yourself, and not knowing what’s around.

There’s a lot on the line; hearts, wallet, time, reputations. If you sit back and enjoy this exciting game, you may gain some experience from it. After all, no one goes to a haunted house because they know what’s inside, it’s because they don’t.

Influence on Suites

Cups

An emotional situation full of disillusionment at your expense. Your intuition is turned west, thoughts are turned east, your drive is down south and emotions way up north. Anxieties are rampant and the only way to regain control is to take a step back; try to see the bigger picture,

Wands

Trust your instincts in this situation and balance it with your will; this can help you find your way through the night faster than the day can break.

Pentacles

There are financial decisions in balance; a loan pending, business contract. Make informed decisions and wait for clarity before jumping into something.

Swords

Use your intuition over your logic. Someone maybe successfully pulling the wool over your eyes. There is no logic to be had here, you can’t fight something you can’t see.
