Illuminated Tarot — The Moon (Major Arcana)

The Moon is a lovely Major Arcana because it speaks to sensitivity and the arts—poetry, music—its ruling sign here is linked with Pisces. It can also point to confusion and what’s hidden (the Moon’s “dark side”).

Depending on your question, this Arcana suggests secrecy, jealousy, and dreams that are more fantasy than fact. So, what’s best when The Moon hints at things being concealed? Sincerity. Speak frankly and clear away the fog that blocks fuller happiness.

From the outside, you may look like a happy couple. And you may be at times—but one of you needs to shake off routine, and another needs to be honest. This relationship hasn’t grown; it’s as if the Moon were in a constant waning quarter. Habit, routine, and comfort have kept it from expanding.

The Moon also evokes the past. Paired with such sensitivity, it’s likely something was done that hurt—but it was never discussed. If you’re asking about a couple, the bond is strong despite all this. Remove the dissatisfaction and get moving—don’t fear change.

When you or your person finally understands the deeper issue, the situation will take a positive turn as if by magic. A “new star,” close to your Moon, appears on your path and helps resolve it all.
