The Moon, Eclectic Tarot

Trust your intuition and your instincts more than your eyes and thoughts!

I refuse to subscribe to the 'bad rep' of The Moon!!
Again and again I read illusion, fear, fraud, disappointment, deception, false friends, scandal, slander, etc, etc.
And in the LWB to this Moon: not ONE single positive word..! Sure, there is the word 'passions', but it's right next to lust, so I get the feeling that it's more in a 'Devil sense' ><)

My INTUITION and INSTINCT tells me this is speaks more about the human fear of and discomfort regarding our unconscious, our psyche, our intuition, the 'hidden', and the fact that we're actually NOT in control of our lives, and hardly rarely of ourselves - as most of us are driven and controlled by our unconscious!
To sum it up: we're a Sun-worshiping people! ,:)

But to evolve we have to face our shadows, or the least: admit them! And realise that all the 'Moon-talk' about 'false friends, deception, illusion', or whatever, is merely signs that we're either out of alignment, so that our shadows, fears and repressed shit 'manifest on the outside', or that we're given opportunities to fine-tune our connection with the 'Divine Feminine'.
To become who we were born to be, and find OUR path, we HAVE to pay more attention to our patterns, our intuition, our gut-feelings. Not repress, gloss things over, fix, project, manufacture suiting truths, and just 'work harder'.

It may now involve having to take "the path of sorrow" in some sense (blood drops on path).
Having to shed some tears in pain before things 'get better', as the ego/head would phrase it (there is no good or bad).

Maybe it's about witnessing another battle with illusions, or get tangled up because of unconscious patterns.
Practice not interfering ("help/enlighten/prevent pain") to not rob another of important and necessary experiences - awakening typically comes from experience, not intellectual lectures.
Practice being a mirror, a safe harbor - a stable White Tower with an open door.
Because we've been to 'hell and back' ourselves, and 'know the drill'.
