Moon

The Moon is the tarot card that encourages our intuitive abilities. As we begin our journey, we are tentative about the route, and it is the light of the moon that shows us the way. The trick to harnessing the true power of this card is to get clarity on where we want to reach in life, so that any other influences along the way are not able to distract us. We would do well to sharpen our instincts; this reduces our reliance on external guidance, as our intuition becomes our guide. This card alerts us to the external influences that affect our decisions. This could be loved ones, or confused thoughts, or a reluctance to exit our comfort zones, or a fear of the unknown. Our inner wisdom will teach us to tackle each of these, and prioritize them, so that we are prepared for whatever hits us. We can have whatever we want, so we need not yield to our anxieties, as these will only lead us away from the path we have chosen.
