Moon Card Meaning in Tarot
No one is immune to the influence of the moon. She is the mirror,
reflecting back the light that shines upon her. She is a timepiece to the
ancient movements of our galaxy. She is the music that prompts the ocean to
dance. She is the illuminator of our creative powers. Pretty intense, no?
This kind of intensity laces all of the Moon Tarot card meanings. This is
one of the few cards that is a story in-and-of-itself, and tells it from start
to finish in one flash.

The story of this card begins with the lobster (crawfish, or crab in
other deck renditions) which represents us and our greatness or higher
purpose/calling. Emerging from our primordial ignorance (this is not derogatory
- we are simply unknowing of our divine potential), to start our journey of
higher purpose, we are met with all manner of influences. The symbolic crab
also links to the astrological aspects of Cancer with moon as its ruling
celestial influence.
Yapping dogs, gnarling wolves, winding paths, the lure of empty
promises...it's a wonder we can get any where with all these influences pulling
at our attention. What's more, we are attempting to find our way and higher
purpose in the midst of the darkest of night.
Moon tarot card meanings
We see the Moon, forever our illusive guide through all the distractions.
But is she a help or a hindrance? When she is in her growth we feel ourselves
expand in confidence with her. We can even become pregnant with our own
importance when she is in her prime fullness. When she is waning, we feel
ourselves shrink into the abyss of darkness, we grow unsure of our path and
purpose. We may find ourselves confused at every turn.
The key to this card (and the moral of its story) is influence. We must
constantly be aware of what is influencing our lives, our decisions, our
actions. We must unravel the perplexity of our thoughts and see clear to that
which is causing us to move in a certain direction. And when it comes to our higher
purpose, we must have the highest intensity of diligence to stay the course and
persue the path that leads to expressing our highest selves.
We must also keep in mind that we have the power to use the pull of the
Moon to our advantage too. She holds immense power available for us to use if
only we hone in on it; focus and direct its energy.
Further, the Moon is a luminary - which reminds us her reflective light
can serve as a source of intuitive clarity.
Effectually, when we pull this card in a reading it often indicates we're
torn between many influences. From the TV that stays turned on for too long to
the boss that calls us during dinner - we are distracted by external influences
that have taken us away from our core path. This card is a message that we need
to reflect upon our life and use our intuitive abilities to determine what best
thoughts and actions to take to correct our course.
Key Symbols Relative to
Moon Tarot Card Meanings:
This section focuses in on a few
select symbols that can help us further define the Moon Tarot card meanings.
Moon tarot card meaning of the dog
Dog
and Wolf: The dog is a symbol of our tamed mind which is loyal
to our bidding. The wolf is a symbol of our primal urges and bears its teeth at
our every attempt to be conventional. Neither beast is all bad nor all good -
but they both war with each other in our minds. Hence each is on either side of
our path. One yapping at us to "do the right thing" the other
growling at us to "break out and go wild." All the while the Moon has
her own ideas about what we should be doing. The key here is to tap into our
inner wisdom and gain the ground by our own internal navigational faith system.

Moon tarot card meanings of the lobster
Lobster: Also depicted as a crayfish or a crab in other deck renditions,
crustaceous creatures are a symbol of hidden psychic power. These creatures
live in water (which is a symbol of the subconscious) and when they emerge from
the depths of the water it is an expression of coming out of the dark or coming
out of hiding. Further, these creatures are usually equipped with a hard
exoskeleton which is a symbol of armor which protects the tender, beauty we all
carry inside our souls. As mentioned in the introduction above, the lobster is
a representation of us on our pilgrimage to carry out our higher (most often
hidden) divine purpose. Additionally, it's worthwhile to investigate the
astrological aspects of Cancer as the moon is its ruler.
Moon tarot card meaning of towers
Towers:
Apart from being phallic symbols and thus appealing to
our base (primitive) natures, the towers also represent the trappings of an
easy life. One either side of the path stands the promise of treasure,
stability, safety, and comfort. Although these are appealing qualities, they
are often illusions when we are on the path of our higher purpose. In the case
of this card the towers represent stagnation, or lure us into settling for
something when we could have the divine gifts that are our birthright. The
towers also remind us that if we build our lives upon false illusions, or
settle for something leser, they will inevitably come crashing down upon us. Click the link for a mythological
