A tarot card illustration of the moon with a face, two dogs, and a crayfish, surrounded by stars. Text around the image includes "RIDER//WAIT//SMITH" on the sides and "THE MOON" at the bottom.

The Moon illuminates the realm of the subconscious, dreams, and illusions. It represents fear, anxiety, and things that are not as they seem. The path through the moonlight is uncertain, with a crayfish (the subconscious) emerging from the depths and dogs (the domesticated mind) howling at the unknown. This card calls for you to navigate through confusion by trusting your intuition and facing your fears.
