The Moon

Major Arcana

18The Moon

Short description: night is the time when dreams and fantasies rule. The moon also represents instincts that we have buried in our own unconscious - they come out to play in the moonlight. But the reflections that we see springing forth can also be illusions, it is easy to lose your way in the dark.
