What does the Moon card mean in Tarot?

The Moon card (Arcanum 18) in Tarot speaks of the subconscious, intuition, secrets, and illusions. The Moon casts a deceptive, uncertain light, so in its upright position it often signals: not everything is as it seems; there is hidden information, anxiety, and fears rising from the depths. This is a time to trust your intuition rather than pure logic, and to avoid hasty decisions until clarity emerges.

In a reversed position or in its shadow aspect, the Moon can indicate the dispelling of illusions and fears, a move out of confusion toward clarity, or conversely, self-deception and entanglement.

The Moon reminds you: listen to your intuition, but do not drown in anxiety and fantasies. The exact meaning depends on the question and surrounding cards. You can explore a personal spread in the Tarot section.
