The Moon Tarot Year Card
A year of uncertain light: dreams, doubts and feelings you cannot yet name.

A year of The Moon
The Moon holds a year when the path is visible but only by moonlight. Feelings run strong, dreams are vivid, and things are not always what they seem. It can be a creative and intuitive year, and also an anxious one, with old fears surfacing to be looked at.
What the year asks
It asks you to walk on without full clarity, to tell real danger from imagined, and to trust your instincts while checking them. The shadow is getting lost in worry or illusion.
Sitting with it
Keep a record of your dreams and moods. When fear comes, write it down and ask what you actually know.
Questions for the year
- What am I afraid of that may not be real?
- What are my dreams trying to show me?
- Where do I need to wait for clearer light?
