The Moon – Shadowed Aspect
When The Moon turns to its darker face, shadows lengthen and illusions deepen. What was once a guiding light becomes a hall of mirrors, where whispers distort truth and the familiar dissolves into the strange. Here, fears surface, not to harm us, but to lure us into believing they are real. The dark side of the Moon speaks of confusion, hidden motives, and the unsettling presence of forces we cannot name.
Bonnie the Cockatoo reveals her darker side. Her feathers ruffle as she senses that not all eyes watching are kind. The path forward is unclear—each step may lead deeper into delusion.
This card asks: What are you refusing to see clearly? What truths are cloaked in shadow, what lies feel comfortable to believe? Under this Moon, paranoia and uncertainty breed. The danger lies not in monsters outside us, but in the illusions we weave within.
Yet, if we dare to pause, breathe, and witness without judgment, the Moon’s darkness becomes a teacher. It shows us where we are vulnerable to self-deception and reminds us that courage is born from walking through the unknown.
Keywords: illusion, fear, confusion, self-deception, hidden truths, shadow work.
Bonnie’s Advice: “Not all shadows are enemies—some are unclaimed.
