Love And Relationships 

The reversed Moon tarot card suggests that secrets or deception in your relationship will be unveiled. An affair might be exposed, or a lie you or your partner told could come to light.

You might have been lying to yourself about your happiness in the relationship and are about to realize this. Perhaps you were blinded to your or your partner’s faults, and now the reversed Moon Tarot is here to show you the way! 

If you are single, the reversed Moon card can suggest you are regaining your self-confidence or composure after a time of uncertainty.

It can also suggest you are ignoring signs from your instincts that a potential partner is not the right choice for you. Are you ignoring any warning signs or red flags a person is showing you because you are in denial?

Or are you letting the desire for a relationship blind you to the truth? Take a step back to truly evaluate the situation before you move forward. 

Career And Money 

If you work in a creative or artistic field, a reversed Moon Tarot card suggests you are suffering from a creative block. This could be writer’s block or struggling to know what to paint or create next. 

In a general career context, you might be experiencing instability or uncertainty in your career. But don’t worry, the reversed Moon card suggests that this uncertainty is starting to pass.

This might be down to you deciding on a new career path or that your options are becoming clearer. This clarity can help you feel more confident and ready to go after your goals. 

Financially, the reversed Moon card can suggest any confusion around managing your finances could begin to clear. It can also indicate that deception is about to be exposed to you, or has already been exposed to you.

If your gut is telling you not to invest money, commit to lending it, or strike up a new business deal, pause and listen to your gut. Something or someone is not being entirely honest about their financial intentions. 

Health

The reversed Moon card can be a positive one health-wise! It suggests that any mental health issues like anxiety or depression are easing. You could be moving from dark health periods, into more positive ones. 

However, the reversed Moon card can also suggest you are struggling to separate reality from fantasy. If the supporting cards in your reading are negative, they can indicate illnesses involving delusions or paranoia becoming worse. 

Generally speaking, a reversed Moon card in a health context suggests stability is returning to your health. If you are awaiting test results, or a diagnosis, some clarity around your health problems could be on its way to you! 

Spirituality 

Spirituality-wise, the reversed Moon card can suggest you are misinterpreting, ignoring, or blocking messages spirits are trying to give you! This card could be a sign you are not tuning into your psychic powers, or that your intuition is being clouded. Despite being reversed, the intuitive nature of the Moon is still present, be sure to spend some time tuning into it. 

Final Thoughts
