Card 18
The Moon
Description
Full moon between two towers. A path winds into the distance. A dog and a wolf howl, civilized and feral, the same animal split in two. A crayfish crawls from the pool, something coming up from the deep. Nothing is quite what it looks like under this light.

Upright Meanings
You're walking a path you can't fully see. Old fears are surfacing. Some of what you feel is real, some is shadow. Don't decide anything big right now. The signal is muddy. Trust the intuition, not the panic.
Reversed Meanings
The fog is lifting. Either the confusion is starting to clear, or you're pushing fears further down instead of facing them. The first is growth. The second comes back louder. Pay attention to which one you're doing.
