The Moon and The Sun together
The Moon and The Sun together: the confusion clears. Something that was dimly felt becomes plainly seen, usually in that order.
The Moon
uncertainty, intuition, dreams, the hidden path
The Moon is the night journey, when nothing looks like itself and you have to go on anyway. The path is there but dimly lit; the dog and the wolf, tamed and wild fear, howl together; the crayfish emerges from the deep of the pool, which is the deep of the mind.
Reversed: The moon begins to set.
Yes or no: No upright, Maybe reversed
The Sun
joy, vitality, clarity, success
The Sun is the day after the night journey, when everything is visible and nothing needs to be. The child rides without saddle or clothes because there is no danger to guard against.
Reversed: The sun is behind a cloud or shining too hard.
Yes or no: Yes upright, Not yet reversed
When one follows the other
The order matters. Read as what is passing and what comes next, as in a past, present and future spread, the pair tells two different stories.
The Moon behind you, The Sun ahead
A period of confusion, anxiety or walking blind is receding. The moon is setting and the path is becoming visible. You came through it.
Joy is coming: a success, a recovery, a season of clarity and vitality. It will be as good as it looks. Prepare by making room to enjoy it.
The Sun behind you, The Moon ahead
A period of happiness, vitality and visible success is receding. The sun is moving west but it is still up. Carry the warmth; it does not expire.
A period of uncertainty is ahead, when things will not be what they seem and anxiety will run ahead of facts. Trust your intuition more than your imagination. Keep walking.
