Booklet Text
The Moon card represents illusions and fear. Compared to the sun or the stars, the moon is rather mysterious. Because it doesn’t produce its own light, it is like a mirror, reflecting the light of the sun. Thus, moonlight has a kind of ethereal quality, which seems to show us a different aspect to things. It is like the dream side of things, the otherworldly aspects. This is why it seems as though things are illusory and dreamlike. Seeing things in the moonlight gives them an otherworldly quality, which can lead to fear. Remember in this time that things are not as they seem, that they’re just being cast in a strange light. There is nothing to fear. And pay attention to dreams and your intuition here, because it might be urging you to see something specific.
