I came across a new weekly meme called Tarot Tuesday and decided to join in. A card is drawn each Friday from a variety of decks and we all post our thoughts about the card on Tuesdays.
The card drawn this week was from the Pen Tarot -this is not your typical deck in regards to the images, but from what I have seen, it is a beautiful deck. They are each black and white ink drawings with only one piece of the image in color.
When I first saw this card, what struck me right off in the image were her eyes. Now, maybe it is just because I am viewing the image on the computer, but all I could see were these completely dark eyes. I thought about that for a while.
The Moon card relates to our obscured vision-that until we go within and understand our deeper selves, we can’t evolve.
It is so easy to go through life with darkened eyes…with eyes that refuse to truly see and we become afraid of everything, only because we avoid things by deeming them wrong or fearful.
I am a Cancer and the Moon is what rules Cancer. I love going deep. I have always been fascinated by the workings of the psyche and what makes people tick. I am also many times too sensitive, absorbing others stuff and I spent many years deep in depression. But, it was the journey of going deep within that allowed me to come back out, and to come out with skills to end my depression and to be able to see life with new eyes.
I have always loved the moon. Where my bed is positioned, moonlight falls on my face as I sleep. I closely watch the cycles of the moon and I love moonlit filled darkness.
Darkness can be scary, but the Moon card tells us that we need not fear, we need to examine those dark places, because on the other side is bright, joyous light. 
Happy Moonlighting.

What a great interpretation, Ash – I especially love your note about the Moon telling us that we need not fear. I’ve always loved the moon for just that reason. You made me think, too, of my own window – it has a perfect view of the top of the tree across the street, and I love watching the moon get tangled in its branches. Have you ever heard the fairy tale of the Princess who wanted the moon on a chain? I think you might really like it.
Thanks for that….
I had an experience of “going deep” when I went into the cave in Tennessee. It was also about fear and of course, I came out with a deeper understanding of myself.
Hope to see you soon; but work at the arts council is keeping me busy – which is good, but leaves little time for long week-day lunches.
