The Moon

Major Arcana, 18 — from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

uncertainty, illusion, things unclear

You are not seeing this straight, and neither is anyone else. The Moon is half-light, where familiar shapes look like something else. Do not make an irreversible decision on what you can currently make out.

In a yes or no reading, The Moon upright answers no.

Reversed

clarity returning, fear passing, the fog lifting

The confusion is starting to clear, or a fear you were carrying turns out to have been the shape of a shadow. Check what is actually true before acting on either.

In a yes or no reading, The Moon reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. The Moon can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
