The Moon Tarot Card Meaning: Illusion, Intuition & Clarity
Description
Key Symbol: When we encounter the Moon, we see a path that leads off into the distance. On either side of the path stand a wolf and a dog, representing our animalistic nature - one is civilized, and the other wild and feral. There is a crawfish crawling out of the pond from which the path stems. In the distance, we can see two towers flanking the central path, alluding to the duality of conscious and unconscious forces.
