À l'endroit

The Moon lights the path but not the whole path. What you are walking through is real; parts of what you fear are not. This is a card of half-light — trust the ground under your feet more than the shapes at the edge of vision. Facts are still findable: ask one more question before you decide, and prefer what you can verify to what you were told.

À l'envers

Reversed, the fog starts to thin. The confusion you have been carrying begins to name itself, and that naming is most of the cure. Small honesty sessions — with yourself, or with the person involved — clear more than another week of guessing will. Do not mistake the lifting of fear for the arrival of certainty; you are simply seeing again.

• The Moon — Moon + Star: what you feared and what you hoped turn out to be the same story, told twice.
