Gracie's One Card at a Time

The Moon card is a card of the unconscious. We may think of the unconscious as a dark place where pain, confusion and a lack of vision rules. When our unconscious is in control we are not! But if we flip the coin over and look at the other side, we can see the Moon’s beauty. Don’t forget about the Moon and her link to fertility! Let’s cherish our dark times. We can see our darkness as a time of gestation. We can huddle quietly and wait for a new birth. We need our darkness before we emerge into the sunlight. We are getting ready. Enjoy if you can your huddle time. Accept your lack of vision. Sleep extra, eat well and rent a good video. 

Nighttime can be scary with its darkness, distorted thinking and amplified fears. The Moon card tells us there is more at work in our minds than just today’s worries. The Moon tells us we are bothered as well by past experiences and our individual chemistries that make some of us prone to nighttime sorrows. The trick is to be extra kind to ourselves at night. Try turning on the radio for a little easy listening or reading a few pages of your favourite novel, or knitting. Don’t just lie there and suffer, live a little! “No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.” - Edward Hopper
