I get a very different reading from The Moon.... it has always worked for me in the past. When I look at the card, I ask what is going on-- it seems like the dogs are howling at the moon. I feel like the reason for that is to get the moon to change, somehow. Sometimes I call it the "Peer Pressure" card, at least as far as the major arcana is concerned. Recently, I've begun to think more about it, and I realized another important level. What I usually tell people now is something like this:
The Moon seems to be being pressure by forces around it... people, situations, etc... to be something other than the Moon. The dogs (and other various creatures)are trying to pressure the Moon into trying to be the Sun, but why? The Moon cannot be the Sun, because the Moon is the Moon, and that's that. BUT, the people who may be exerting this pressure don't necessarily mean to change the Moon into something that it isn't-- they may not know what the Moon actually is, and so they would not know how to treat it other than as though it were something else. When you get the Moon, you tend to have a lot going on underneath the surface (emotions, beliefs, deeper issues, which the water very clearly represents to me), but that isn't what the people around are able to see. All they see is the surface levels, or, like what you see when you look at the actual Moon, the reflection of the Sun. They don't really know about the deeper levels, and so you can't expect them to understand. You have to at least give them the chance to see that you ARE the Moon, not just the reflection of the Sun, and there is nothing wrong with that in the slightest. The Moon has power of its own, emotional and personal power, just like the actual Moon has power over the water through the tides. Maybe you just have to give those pressuring forces around you the chance to understand just what is going on beneath what they are able to see, so that they can stop trying to deal with you as though you were something else.
Reading that, it seems so horribly articulated :P I hope it makes more sense to the people I read for, it always seems to sink in very strong with them.
Did that make sense to anyone?
