What does The Moon mean upright?
On a night road everything looks like something else—hold off on conclusions. Keywords: uncertainty, emotions, unclear view.
What does The Moon mean reversed?
Reversed, the same energy is blocked, overdone or turned inward: fog lifting, easing anxiety, truth emerging. A reversal is a caution, not a verdict.
Love and relationships
Overthinking, suspicion, things left unsaid; reversed, misunderstandings clear up.
Work and career
Incomplete information—avoid big decisions; reversed, the picture slowly clears.
How to place it in a reading
Major Arcana cards describe big themes rather than daily events. When The Moon shows up, ask which larger chapter of your life the question belongs to.
Our take
We read the Moon as a low-information signal: your judgment isn't bad, the light is.

Neither by itself. Upright it points to uncertainty; reversed it warns about fog lifting. Read it against the question and the cards next to it.
