What does the love tarot card of the moon mean?
A love tarot reading with the Moon indicates that feelings are probably confused right now. There may be many misunderstandings present, and not everything is as it seems. To figure out what’s going on, you might need to put some effort into understanding not only the intentions of others but also your own feelings, goals, and drives. Your judgment may be being clouded by outdated attitudes, convictions, or concepts. It’s possible that several things in your unconscious are interfering with your capacity to embrace love. Are you still troubled by old relationships? Do you no longer believe in love? Do you think you’re not deserving of love? These factors can all have a significant impact on how we approach relationships. It’s time to investigate them and show them for what they really are.

What is the moon’s spiritual meaning?
The moon’s phases stand for immortality, eternity, enlightenment, or the dark side of Mother Nature. Since it regulates the tides, rainfall, waterways, and seasons, it may reflect inner knowledge or the stages of man’s state on earth.
What does the moon card represent professionally?
If you got the Moon in a career reading, it means that your professional future is unknown. Vanderveldt describes it as “feeling like an in-between, void-like time where you’re not sure which direction to go or what’s going to happen.” But there is a lot of opportunity there as well.
She goes on to say that you should consider how you might examine your reasons and unconscious beliefs, let go of your need to foresee the future, and open up to the potential of this time.
Accepting the uncertainty is crucial in this situation, and it’s acceptable to occasionally lack knowledge. Paradoxically, she says, “the solutions will start to appear when you stop looking for them and concentrate on returning to your inner self.” In other words, rather than freaking out about things you can’t control outside of yourself, use this period of uncertainty to look within.
How do I get in touch with the moon?
Sunshine eclipse. Moon of Blood Autumn Moon the master of the seas. The tides’ temptress. Mama Recently, Moon has received a lot of airtime. Do you ever notice that you start to feel off at the same time every month? Have you ever observed the large, gorgeous bulb shining brightly in the heavens? Does a connection exist? It’s not just you!
The moon, the satellite of our planet Earth, has an impact on our seas, agriculture, and moods. It seems sense that this heavenly body has served as a timekeeper, been the subject of thousands of years of study, and been the object of reverence. Making a connection with the moon’s phases can help you become more aware of the cycles and rhythms that exist inside your own body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Even though you are aware that the moon is always whole, depending on where the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in their orbits, you can only only see a portion of the moon at a time. This is the reason for the New Moon phase, Waxing and Waning Moon phases (when a crescent or partial moon is visible from Earth), and Full Moon phase (the moon is illuminated when the Earth is located directly between the Sun and the Moon). The New Moon is regarded as the beginning of the month and a favourable time to start initiatives in practically all religious traditions. The Full Moon is seen as a time of joy, wonder, and celebration in many civilizations.
Whatever your definition of spirituality may be, choosing to channel the power of the moon can give your beliefs a touch of beauty, mystique, and flow. Here are some suggestions for incorporating the moon into your spiritual practices or for utilizing the moon’s cycles to increase your spirituality.
Does the moon have a female energy to it?
For ages, the moon has served as our compass. The moon has an impact on all people.
The moon, who transitions through her phases from waxing to full moon to waning, is the Triple Goddess, representing the female archetypes of Maiden, Mother, and Cronebirth, nurturing, death, and rebirth:
- Birth: New (Dark) Moon
- Maiden: Waxing Moon
- Lunar Full: Mother
- Moon at Waning: Crone
- Deadly Dark (New) Moon
She is linked to psychic ability, mystery, and feminine energy. She keeps the time naturally and moves through a cycle that lasts 29.5 days.
In fact, women used to have their periods, or “moon time,” at the New Moon and ovulate at the Full Moon on a 29.5 day cycle to coincide with the moon’s. This was true before there were electric lights and cell phones; instead, we lived by the cycles of nature, including the tides, seasons, and the cycle of the moon in particular.
Artificial light has thrown us all off balance, disrupting our circadian rhythm, our 24-hour cycle, and societal expectations, making it more and more challenging for us to connect with our own feminine cycles and the cycles of nature all around us.
You’ve probably already figured how the lunar cycle fits in here as the Triple Goddess since we’ve previously discussed how your menstrual cycle connects with the four seasons of the year and the four female archetypes.
Mother, Crone, and Maiden.
There are several reasons as to why many women no longer cycle in harmony with the moon, ovulating at Full Moon time and menstruation at New Moon time, yet she is always present and beckons you to connect with her. You are reminded by her presence every night to connect with her natural cycle while also going inward and getting to know yourself and your own journey.
Sioux Rose makes the case that the moon’s cycle has a significant impact on our energy, emotions, and sentiments in her book Moon Dance: The Feminine Dimensions of Time.
You can more effectively plan your life based on your dominant female archetype, the season you are in, and how much energy you have on any given day by keeping a daily journal and writing down your thoughts, feelings, and emotions as well as tracking the movement of the moon through its cycle and the phases of your own menstrual cycle. This can be supported by the use of lunar calendars or journals that display the moon cycle.
Even while it’s doubtful that your menstrual cycle will follow the lunar cycle as closely as it did in the past, knowing where the two cycles overlap will help you better understand your monthly cycle by observing the associated changes in the strength of your feelings. You can spend your time and energy more effectively if you are constantly aware of your feminine energy and superpowers.
Miranda Gray discusses the two conventional menstrual cyclesRed Moon, in which bleeding coincides with the Full Moon and ovulation with the New Moon, and White Moonin her book Red Moon (bleeding with the New Moon and ovulating with the Full Moon). She contends that our mission, Dharma, the gifts we are providing with the world, as well as what is happening in our lives, are all strongly correlated with the various bleed and ovulation cycles. Between these two cycles, we as women vary our rhythms and patterns throughout our menstrual years and beyond.
To sum up, we’ll make a longer blog post on this fascinating subject later.
White Moon: The White Moon cycle is linked to fertility and motherhood since the Earth is typically more fertile during the Full Moon when you’re ovulating. You’ll probably have an increase in intuition throughout your period and will need to withdraw for refueling and self-renewal. As a result of giving the month your all, it is now your turn.
Red Moon: In the past, the Full Moon and Red Moon cycles, when a woman bleeds with her period, were associated with shamanism, high priestesses, and healers. It was believed that during the Red Moon cycle, women channeled their darker, more creative menstrual energies outward to help and instruct others from their own experiences. The Red Moon cycle is linked to a greater emphasis on personal development, mentorship, and creative expression.
Luisa Francia discusses what experiencing bleed time at different phases of the moon may mean in her book Dragontime:
- Waxing Moon: This is a good time to reflect, study, read, discover new things, and get information from other ladies. Inward. Self-nourishing.
- Time to learn how to channel energy, turn fury into inventiveness, and turn cramps into sensuality during the full moon. Outward. global nourishment
- Waning Moon: It’s time to put what you’ve imagined into reality; it’s time to support your findings, confirm your information, create plans and projects, and stabilize current circumstances. Outward. global nourishment
- New Moon: Anxieties, memories, and experiences may surface at this time, ready to be addressed. This is a period of healing. Inwards. nourishing oneself.
The New Moon (or Dark Moon), when the moon is not visible from Earth, and the Full Moon, when the moon is fully visible, are the two important phases of the moon, as you are probably already aware.
Setting an intention for the upcoming month should happen on the New Moon. It’s time to take a step back from our extremely Yang way of life, which entails pushing, seeking, and succeeding in today’s world, and instead to relax and turn inward, connecting with yourself and your goals and aspirations. It corresponds to the Crone (or Wise Woman) female archetype and the winter season of your monthly cycle.
If you ovulate during the New Moon, it won’t be a time for bleeding for you; instead, it will be a moment for creation, when the secrets of the inner darkness are born into the outside world.
Inviting deep awareness and a degree of consciousness that can help you shine a light on shadows and desires and bring them forth into the light, the silence of the New Moon combined with that period of inner creation can produce a strong combo.
You can check in with yourself, your life, and whatever it is you want to concentrate on for the upcoming month, the upcoming year, or as the seasons change, using the New Moon as a tool for introspection and self-enquiry. This period of death and rebirth encourages us to begin to make some significant, concrete changes. Let it emerge from your heart, even if you decide to set an intention for anything particular at this moment, like financial wealth, or for the development of a characteristic, like patience or self-compassion.
We then have time to think about and relax into our intention as we work with the moon as she progresses through her cycle and matures into her fullness. She begins as a thin crescent, expands into her first quarter, and as she matures, a rising desire to act on our intentions emerges within us. We advance as well, believing that the ideal aim would materialize at the ideal time as she fills out and expands.
The moon will be at its fullest when she is halfway through her cycle. The Full Moon is frequently viewed as a period of intense energy and activity, as well as a time for reflection, looking back on the first half of the month and ahead to the following New Moon.
Instead of ovulating, those who bleed during the full moon may experience self-actualization and sharing during this period. Women who bleed during the full moon are frequently sages, enchantresses, circle leaders, teachers who share their gifts with the world, and women who share women’s wisdom. They may have greater energy to carry out their work while the Full Moon is in full force because of this.
This Full Moon period gives us time to reflect. How has the goal you had during the previous New Moon evolved? Does it currently feel right for you?
If your intention feels correct, you should move through with it during the Full Moon. If not, you should release it in its current form and adjust your plans for the second half of the month.
Whatever stage of life you are in, the Full Moon is a time for action; it is a moment to focus on what you are hanging on to and let it go. It’s the Mother female archetype’s summer phase of your menstrual cycle, a time of tremendous energy, and even if we bleed at this time, we are releasing in some way.
We hang onto a variety of items that no longer benefit us, including clutter in our homes, outgrown clothing, and emotions, ideas, sentiments, and memories.
You might choose to do a Full Moon Letting Go Ceremony as a means of letting go and moving on.
You may wipe it all away in the sea, the bathtub or shower, while dancing outside in the rain, or by crying. Or you could burn it off instead. It’s best if you have a group of people nearby so you can celebrate the release after writing down on paper what no longer serves you and burning it in a fire or candle flame.
Your New Moon purpose will now have more room to grow, and you’ll likely notice a change as the new takes up the space left by the old.
It’s a good idea to contemplate, give thanks, and accept the benefits of your aim when the moon starts to fade in preparation for the following New Moon. before beginning the procedure again. During this process of creation and surrender, we can learn how to best cherish and nourish ourselves, when to declare ourselves, find our voice, and speak it, and when it is time to draw in, get real with ourselves, and to surrender. We already do this as our energy shifts during our menstrual cycles, but by adding an extra level of awareness to the process and being intentional with our choices and where we choose to put our energy, we can bring more awareness to this process.
