The Moon- Unhappy tarot card- Tarot Project Series

Dear All,
I am finally able to present you the 18th trump tarot "Unhappy" card, the Moon. Ok, few personal notes on this card. It is a bad card, no doubt, however it is "less" bad than the "tower" or the "hanged man" cards which I find the absolute worst. It is a card where we loose our sense of reason for whatever motive and we most likely incur loss and the disappointment that comes with it. For example I met in my life, some men that took advantage of my good nature, and because they were good looking I fell pray to their charm and lost money/ property.  It happened 3 different times, in different locations with 3 different people of different nationalities.
The Moon can do that, but as I am not into money or property the loss was not something that crashed me.

The Moon

Overview:

The Moon is a card of fear and illusion, delusion or deception. With this card you can feel lost, confused or afraid or you can feel drawn to an undefined purpose. The Moon card is a signal to call our attention that something that can seem harmless to you can be dangerous!

The tarot Moon trump card is associated with Pisces astrological sign and the horoscope’s 12^th house of spirituality and psychic awareness.

Keywords: deception, illusion, delusion, dreams, false friends, dishonesty, lies, trickery, bad dreams, drug and alcohol abuse, and the dying process.

In Magic, it means underworld travel, dream interpretation, moon magic, psychic attacks and defense.

It is important to pay attention to the real phase of the moon at the time of the reading occurs, as events will follow by the next Full moon.

Challenges:

The negative aspect of this card can be interpreted as irrational behaviour, madness, “lunacy”. Also, hidden things can come to light; addictions or trauma can be revealed, disturbing dreams and difficulty accepting emotions. It is most likely that you are a victim of false information. In a negative cards spread you should be aware of THEFT, or excessive use of drugs or alcohol. It is not advisable to act on impulse, because it is very likely that deception will follow.

Old tarot books emphasize the negative aspects of the Moon, especially deception, changeability, instability, bad luck, unseen dangers. Historically people believed that

“lunacy” and mental disorders are caused by the “moonlight”.

Healthwise, indicates all sorts of mental health issues.

Solution:

As a solution the Moon gives you power to overcome weakness or temptation.

When you receive the Moon card in a solutions position it is a good time to use your creative talents in writing (poetry or fiction), art, acting or psychology. It is also a possible indication of travel over water. You should listen to your intuition, dreams, and feelings.

As a person the Moon can be mostly women, travellers, artists, psychics, writers, actors, psychologists or psychotherapists. But the Moon can also represent: liars, impostors, con men, crooks, secret enemies or emotionally troubled or mentally ill people.

Few words about the Golden Botticelli Tarot- I purchased this deck a few years back, during a trip to London. It came as a disappointment to me that this deck did not have any hidden messages or story line to tell. It was just as you can see biblical like pictures in golden ink. I recently found this deck in a store downtown, and I remembered that I own this deck. So, here it is their straight Moon interpretation: No towers to choose from good or evil, No domesticated dog and wolf guarding the path between the towers of evil and good(- indicating to pay attention to possible danger! ) just an angel overlooking a pond with crab/ lobster or other crustacean, at night (the moon is present).
