Tarot Card -The Moon XVIII

The Moon card is the 18th card of the Major Arcana. 18 reduces is 9; the 9 is the number of introspection and completion (think of the Hermit card, which is also number 9).

Number 1 is the male energy, confidence, leadership, and 8 for material gain. If you combine the both of them, you have a very powerful energy. However balance is necessary to let the positive aspects rule over the negative.

The Moon is a rather mysterious card, which contains many symbols. And is therefore sometimes hard to understand.

You see the moon on top of the card, that also looks likes a sun, it symbolizes the different moon phases from new moon, to crescent and full moon. The sun and moon are for male- and female energies.

There are 15 golden leaf drops falling down onto the earth. Some call these 'yod's, which is the 10th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and the first syllable of the name of God.

There are two towers, they are for good and evil, or conscious and subconscious. In between the towers is a pathway. It's the unknown future that lies ahead. Challenges (mountains) that need to be conquered.

The dog and wolf (are symbolizing the wild and tamed human being) are barking and howling at the moon. The lobster is coming out of the water, on to the Pathway. The lobster is for emotions (water), but also for safety, which most people are looking for in life. It’s only human to have emotions, and you don't have to run away from them. This card can also symbolize fear and facing your fears.

General:
This card is for your fears. How do you deal with them. Do you keep running away from the same lessons life needs to teach you, or do you finally face your fears. Do you take the leap of faith?

You are feeling a bit insecure at the moment. Please take your time to overthink things, and make decisions from your heart and intuition. The Moon also represents your intuitive side, your abilities, learn to listen to your inner voice.

Career:
Unfortunately this is a very negative card to pull in your work life. Be careful who you share your ideas with, there could be jealous people around you, that betray you. Don't make yourself crazy because of things that may or may not happen. Face your fears, so you will find out, you can do a lot more, than you think you are capable of right now.

If you keep doubting a certain decision, please take time to go within. Go away for a weekend, just relax, and the answer will come to you.

Love:
You have sensed it yourself, your relationship is not going very well at the moment. There is miscommunication, jealousy and insecurities. Perhaps you can try a relationship counselor, to work things out. Face your fears together, and heal trauma from the past. Sometimes this card can indicate infidelity.
