Those who try their hand at fortune-telling will probably be interested to know what the Moon Tarot card is and what its meaning is. This Arcanum is considered one of the most mysterious and strange.

Interpretation in love and relationships

If you are making a deal for love, then you need to understand the meaning of the "Moon" of the Tarot in a relationship. This card is often perceived as a source of negative information, but much depends on its position and the nearby cards.

In the upright position, the Moon indicates an anxious period filled with fear. Usually it is fear that has a real basis. What interpretations can Arkan "Moon" have when dealing with a loved one:

• infidelity;
• lies and deception on the part of a partner;
• illusions in which the fortuneteller lives;
• omissions and quarrels.

Sometimes "Moon" can indicate a situation when a person is confused and does not understand what to do in the future.

The "Moon" lasso is sometimes played as an encounter with the dark side of a loved one. It may also be some gloomy thoughts visiting the fortuneteller. The eighteenth card in a number of cases indicates that he has emotional dependence on a partner and fear that he will leave him. It is as if a person falls under the power of these relations, although in the depths of his heart he realizes that this is wrong, he seems to be stuck in them, like in a swamp.

The value of the "Moon" Tarot card in the layout of relationships and love, if it is in an inverted position, can be interpreted in the same way as in a straight position, but this is about circumstances that ended in time. That is, a person was once in a protracted and unhealthy relationship, but was able to get out of them in a timely manner.

Or he had illusions that he did not allow to take over and got rid of them. As for the betrayal, perhaps it could have happened, but it never happened. The inverted 18th Arcanum is also sometimes played as a short-term mental problem.

Health layout

Find out what value the "Moon" Tarot card can have in fortune telling on health. So, the 18th Arcanum in a direct position indicates serious psychological problems and a personality crisis, which requires the help of a specialist.

Addictions can be very different: from alcohol and drugs to nightmares and insomnia. The person may complain of paranoid thoughts. Also, sometimes it is played as a sign of genetic disorders that can manifest themselves at the most inopportune moment for this.

In an inverted position, if they are guessing for health, "Moon" speaks of problems with speech. Perhaps the person cannot express thoughts, stutters. Sometimes an inverted card indicates depression and apathy, and in some cases, sensitivity to weather conditions.

Work, finance and business

Consider the meaning of the "Moon" Tarot card in fortune-telling for work. If Arkan takes a direct position, perhaps the fortuneteller got involved in some shady deals and illegal business. At the same time, he is really worried about what he is doing, he is afraid that he will have to bear responsibility for what he has done according to the law.

Direct Arcanum can also indicate defamation, disappointment, and deception. Any unforeseen negative circumstances are in the possession of this card.

In a straight position, "Moon" in a career layout can indicate a creative person. This is such a person who does not like to be in contact with the real world and subtly perceives all the circumstances that occur.

If we are talking about a certain person, then when the "Moon" card falls out in a straight position, one can think of a psychotherapist, a person engaged in witchcraft rituals, a psychic. They can also be magicians and illusionists who somehow interact with the dark side of this world.

In an inverted position - the same circumstances, but with the proviso that any obvious danger has passed. Perhaps the fortuneteller will be able to avoid exposure in some kind of deception at the last moment.
