Welcome to another Tarot Tuesday!
If you are just joining me, let me explain the inspiration to begin these posts. In Texas, and all across the country, Taco Tuesday is a popular day when Tacos are usually 99 cents. So, I had the inspiration, or Angel nudge as I like to think of it, to create a Tarot Tuesday. Each Tuesday I will post a different Tarot card and give its meaning. I pray and ask for the right card that will bring a universal message.
I created a short video to demonstrate how I pull the card for the posts. If you’re interested, here’s a LINK.
Today’s card comes from the Major Arcana – The Moon.
The keywords associated with this card are: Illusion, fear, anxiety, subconscious, and intuition.
Even though that may not sound very positive, I see this card as a powerful reminder. The Moon is a symbol of intuition, dreams, and the unconscious. Its light is dim compared to the sun, and only slightly illuminates the path to higher consciousness winding between the two towers.
In the foreground is a small pool, representing the watery, subconscious mind. A small crayfish crawls out of the pool, symbolizing the early stages of consciousness unfolding. A dog and a wolf stand in the grassy field, howling at the moon, representing both the tamed and the wild aspects of our minds.
The Moon represents your fears and illusions and often comes out when you are projecting fear into your present and your future, based on your past experiences. You may have a painful memory that caused emotional distress, and rather than dealing with the emotions you pushed them down deep into your subconscious. Now, these emotions are making a reappearance, and you may find yourself under their influence on a conscious or subconscious level. For example, if you had a car accident when you were young but didn’t deal with the emotions, you may get sad or anxious every time you get into the backseat of a car. To remedy this, connect with your subconscious mind and release any fears or anxieties holding you back. Hypnosis, therapy and shamanic healing can support this process.
The Moon can indicate a time of uncertainty and illusion, when nothing is what it seems. Be careful of making fast decisions when the Moon appears because you may later realize you only had half the information you needed. You need to listen to and trust your intuition so you can see beyond what is in front of you. Feel into situations rather than thinking what they mean. Let go of your conscious mental blocks or negative self-talk and allow your intuition to guide you. Your dreams, intuitions and inner guidance lead you forward toward higher levels of understanding if you listen and use your judgement to help interpret the messages of the subconscious.
When the Moon card appears in your Tarot reading, pay close attention to the lunar cycles and attune to its divine power using ritual, visualization or Tarot readings. Connect with the divine feminine and uncover deep intuitive insights and visions of what lies beyond everyday life. On the New Moon (Dec. 26th), set your intentions and plant the seeds of opportunity so they can grow. And on the Full Moon (Dec. 12th), honor your achievements and look at what you need to release so that new aspects of yourself can shine.
I am a big follower of the moon cycles. On the full moons, I put my Crystals outside so the rays can charge and energize them. Also, the full moon is the perfect time to release things that no longer serve you. On new moons, I write out intentions, things I want to manifest. There is something super special about the full moon in December. It occurs on 12-12-19 at 12:12 am EST. 🙂 Fun stuff! What about you? Do you pay attention to the moon cycles?
Thank you for joining me! See you next Tuesday for another inspiring message from the Universe via the Tarot Cards!
As always, I use the Rider-Waite Radiance deck and BiddyTarot.com for interpretations.
This is fascinating, Jan.
Thank you for stopping by, Robbie!!
I sure do pay attention to moon cycles, as I’m always affected, lol. Love this series <3
Me too, Debby! I’m happy you stopped by!
Hi, Jan! I’m fascinated by this card. I do follow the lunar cycles.
I’m looking forward to the full moon and new moon this month. Thanks for another wonderful post! <3 xo
Thank you for stopping by, Vashti! I am glad you enjoyed this week’s card. Hugs!
I’m just now seeing this I was out of pocket yesterday as I was in Wichita with Rob to get his MRI and then we spent the day driving back home. I loved this Terrell readings they are spring forward and grab me around the heart is seems like everyone you post I can relate too.
May you have a great week. Love you!
OPPS tarot reading, gotta love autocorrect. Lol
Lol! I knew what you meant. I do hope Rob is okay! Thanks for stopping by and I am thrilled that you related to the card! Love you!
Thanks Jan, I always think of tarot cards as opportunities to explore, learn and make adjustments in life, and this card certainly offers those. Lovely post.. ♥
Exactly, Sally. They are a tool we can use to go deeper and get new ideas or directions. I appreciate your comment!
I’m a moon watcher! 🙂
Oh my gosh! This is definitely what’s happening to me right now. I’m having so much trouble with being charged for things I didn’t authorize and losing checks. Nothing scares me more than someone messing with my money. Hope it passes soon and things smooth out. Love you, sister!
And remember to trust your intuition, your inner guide, sister. I hope you get things straightened out very soon and get to have a little smooth sailing for a change! I love you!
I always pay attention to the full moon. I enjoy the fullness and the promise of renewal. Enjoyed the reading today, Jan.
Wonderful, John! Sometimes the moon is so big and full it would be impossible to ignore. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Reblogged this on GrannyMoon's Morning Feast.
Thank you for the reblog, Granny Moon!
I was just talking about trusting my intuition over what “seems” to be. I love the moon and feel the full moon strongly. I always forget to recharge my crystals in the full moon though, although it does recharge me:)
Lol, Denise. I don’t put my Crystals out on every full moon, but I do very often. We need to remember to trust our intuition. It’s our inner guide. Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs!
Reblogged this on Campbells World and commented:
This to my mind is a magnificent card because I follow the moon quite specifically.
Me too, Patty! Thanks for stopping by and thanks a million for the reblog!
I like this one. It reminds me of a visit from the Muse. Letting go of the daily routine, and giving in to the subconscious mind has produced some good plots and characters for me.
Oh, absolutely, Craig! That’s why we get some of our story ideas from dreams. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comment!
