The Moon: tarot meaning, upright and reversed

A path runs between towers, past a dog and wolf, while a crayfish emerges from water.

Upright

uncertainty · imagination

Move carefully through ambiguity. Dreams and impressions deserve attention without being mistaken for established facts.

Reversed

partial clarity · lingering fear

Confusion may be lifting unevenly; an old fear can continue after its cause has changed.

In a reading

The position gives this card a particular task: a description of the situation, a challenge, or guidance. Read its image and meaning alongside the other cards and the question that brought them together.
