The crayfish coming out of the water teaches us that all creatures have the prospect to evolve and we can do it too as we let go of habits and reactions and stop overreacting emotionally. The moon illuminates our journey and the towers are like an entryway to another world. Do we have the courage to leave our old selves behind and take that trek into the mountains to seek our true spirituality? The journey is our choice. We bought the ticket.
Do you see bright yellow looking raindrops falling from the moon? These are yods, which represents the hand of God. This is life force energy falling from above into materialism. In other words it is like seeds of new consciousness being sown. If you look back at the Tower card, these yods are there too. A full moon is a time of releasing. Write down what you don’t want in your life anymore and burn the paper during the full moon. During a new moon write what you want to bring into your life. Be as specific as possible.
I love what James Wanless, creator of the Voyager Tarot Deck says in his Way of the Great Oracle book about the Moon’s way.
“Tarot is a ‘moon media;” He says that our subconscious magnetic pull draws us to certain cards and decks and not to try to figure things out in the tarot, but to go with what we feel – trust our intuition when we read and not memorize. He suggests viewing the tarot like a mirror and if we are surprised by something it is because we’ve chosen not to look at that part of ourselves in our mirror. James even talks about dreams and how the moon can surface in dreams some parts of our past that helps us remember so we can heal. We can unblock and release painful parts of our past so there is more room within for us.
I hope you enjoyed this article. I use the Voyager and Rider-Waite in my readings along with the Angel Tarot deck by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine. All of these have helped me and my clients get in touch with our deep, emotional moon side so we can release, heal and get excited about the wonderful possibilities that lay ahead for us.
