The Moon can only be seen by the grace of the sunlight reflecting on the surface of this planet. It needs the Sun to be seen.

This card often tells you something about the truth. Either someone is not telling the truth or you can't or won't see it even if it is dangling in front of your nose. By putting light upon the subject it is hard to miss. That is why it can be such a relief to tell someone about your deepest and darkest secret. By putting it in the light you give it your approval to become easier and lighter.

Take extra care that you don't let yourself be led by illusions. If you make a decision try to be informed from all sides. Don't just use one side of the story to "know it all". It could be that you are ignoring your feelings because your experiences and memories are too painful. Try to stay in the here and now and be realistic.

Don't let those inner demons win but shed more light on the matter so that you can make your decisions in all honesty. It is so easy right now to lose sight on the truth. Why don't you take it slow on the decision front by postponing your decision? Only in the light of the sun the matters become clear enough to make your choice.
