This week's card is The Moon, from the Rider-Waite deck. It is a card of choices and tough decisions. It is a card of mysteries (in many ways mirroring the High Priestess). The moon is depicted over a night time landscape as a full moon with a crescent moon within. Drops of dew fall from it between two pillars. A path leads between the pillars from the mountains in the distance to the pool in the foreground. On either side of the path are dogs. Climbing out of the pool is a sea creature (in the case of the Rider-Waite deck it is a lobster).
In a direct orientation, the moon speaks of the querent having to make a challenging decision between two equally difficult options and that they must listen to their intuition to find the correct choice. In the reversed orientation, the moon warns the querent that there are no good choices here and they must follow their intuition to find the path that causes the least harm.
In the Fool's journey, the moon is an initiation card that indoctrinates the Fool into the deeper mysteries of their spirit. It speaks of reaching inner stillness to find the path forward.
