Is The Moon a Yes or a No?
The Moon delivers a clear no answer in yes or no readings. The Moon reveals illusion and uncertainty - things are not as they appear. As The Dream Walker, The Psychic, The Navigator of Illusions, The Moon speaks with wise and guiding energy: "The cards reveal what you already know within." The full moon face represents the unconscious mind, feminine wisdom, and intuitive knowing, the divine feminine that illuminates the hidden realms of psyche and spirit. The crescent moons represents the waxing and waning cycles of consciousness and intuition, the eternal rhythm of psychic awareness and spiritual receptivity. The two towers represents the pillars of duality that frame the path between conscious and unconscious, the gateway between known and unknown realms of experience. The imagery of The Moon reinforces this answer: A large full moon with a face shines down from a night sky decorated with smaller crescents. Below, a winding path leads between two towers toward distant mountains. A pool reflects the moonlight, and a crayfish emerges from its depths.
