Today, the Tarot wants you to…
Listen carefully to the messages in your dreams; they often hold the guidance you need..
Have you ever woken up from a dream that felt so vivid, so intense, that it lingered with you throughout the day? Or perhaps you’ve had recurring dreams that seemed to speak a language of their own — one you couldn’t quite understand. Your dreams are not random. They are filled with symbols, messages, and insights from your subconscious mind.
Today, The Moon card appears to encourage you to listen to your dreams carefully, as they hold the key to understanding your inner self.
In the Rider Waite tarot deck, The Moon card depicts a night scene under a large, luminous moon. The moon casts a strange, otherworldly light on the path ahead. Two towers stand on either side of the road, and a dog and a wolf howl at the moon. In the foreground, a small crayfish crawls out of a pool of water, symbolizing the stirrings of the subconscious mind. This card represents illusion, intuition, dreams, and the hidden parts of ourselves that we often suppress during waking hours.
The Moon card reminds you that not everything is as it seems. The light of the moon is deceptive — it casts shadows and alters perception. This symbolism mirrors the nature of our dreams. What seems bizarre or nonsensical in a dream often carries a deeper meaning upon closer inspection.
The Moon card has appeared for you today as a gentle nudge from the universe, reminding you to pay attention to your dreams. When you dream, your subconscious mind is free to communicate without the logic and boundaries of the conscious mind. This is when your inner self, your higher self, and even divine messages can come through.
Your dreams might offer you guidance, solutions to problems, or insight into situations in your waking life. They may also surface suppressed emotions, fears, or desires that need your attention. Just like the moon's light can be misleading, your dreams may not present their messages in a straightforward way. You may have to dig a little deeper to understand what they’re telling you.
In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to dismiss dreams as mere “sleep stories.” But your subconscious mind is rich with wisdom, and ignoring your dreams is like leaving unopened letters from a wise friend. The Moon card is here to remind you that your dreams can offer clarity, healing, and guidance — but only if you choose to listen.
By tuning into your dreams, you can:
Gain clarity on situations in your waking life.
Release suppressed emotions or unresolved issues.
Receive inspiration for creative projects, solutions, or new perspectives.
When you make a conscious effort to understand your dreams, you deepen your relationship with yourself and align more closely with your inner truth.
It’s not enough to simply dream; you must also listen. Here’s how you can begin working with your dreams starting tonight:
Keep a Dream Journal – Place a notebook and pen next to your bed. The moment you wake up, jot down any details you can remember about your dream, no matter how fragmented or strange it seems. Over time, patterns and themes may emerge.
Set an Intention Before Sleep – Before you go to bed, quietly ask your subconscious to reveal any messages you need to know. It can be as simple as saying, “I am open to receiving guidance in my dreams tonight.”
Reflect and Interpret – Spend a few minutes each morning reviewing your dream journal. Look for repeating symbols, feelings, or scenarios. Don’t rush to find a logical meaning — instead, ask yourself, “What is my intuition telling me about this?”
Trust Your Gut – The Moon card reminds you that intuition, not logic, is your best tool here. Trust your gut instincts when interpreting your dreams.
Act on Any Insights – If your dream revealed a fear, desire, or solution, take one small action in response. This honors your inner guidance and strengthens the bond between your conscious and subconscious self.
As part of your listening practice, start paying attention to these three key elements in your dreams:
Recurring Symbols – If you keep dreaming about the same person, animal, or place, it’s likely symbolic. Ask yourself, “What does this mean to me personally?”
Strong Emotions – Take note of how you felt in the dream. Fear, joy, sadness, or peace often point to unresolved emotions in your waking life.
Unexpected Messages – Sometimes, you might hear a clear sentence, phrase, or even a voice in your dream. Pay close attention to any direct messages — they could be guidance from your higher self or the universe.
The Moon card has appeared today as a reminder that the answers you seek may already be within you, hidden in the dream world. Your subconscious mind is trying to communicate with you, offering clarity, healing, and guidance — all you have to do is listen. Make it a habit to pay attention to your dreams, and you may find that the guidance you need comes effortlessly from within.
