The Moon Tarot Card Meaning

Introduction

The crayfish is trying to come out of the water onto the land.

However, right in front of its first step, there are two dogs growling.

The path extends far into the distance where the end is not visible.

Moon is observing the situation of this crayfish with a seemingly indifferent gaze.

Description

Breaking through the shell

In the Moon card of the Tarot, the crayfish takes the spotlight.

It’s a situation where it’s leaving its safe haven by the brook to venture onto land. Having lived solely underwater until now, the crayfish might not have imagined anything beyond that space, making even a single step onto land a display of immense courage.

However, upon emerging onto the land, it encounters two dogs.

One seems well-tamed, while the other appears wolf-like.

These two dogs symbolize rationality and instinct, representing the obstacles the crayfish must overcome.

To discover a better self and mature, one must break down existing thoughts, values, and situations.

Stagnation prevails if one remains confined by current circumstances due to anxiety about these changes.

Don’t be afraid, break your own shell!

Nevertheless, I shall tread this path.

The Moon of Tarot cards offer the following advice.

The crayfish’s journey appears far from smooth.

The immediate challenge lies in how to confront the two dogs it encounters.

Furthermore, the path ahead seems exceedingly distant.

Yet, the crayfish must take this path and persevere.

Quietly traversing it, like the wheels of fortune, both good and bad events unfold – that’s just life, isn’t it?
