thank you all!! this makes so much more sense. I'm using the rider waite and yeah those dogs always look so anxious lol

I think I was reading too many doom and gloom websites. the clarity interpretation really resonates with where I'm at rn

not to be dramatic but reversed moon is actually one of my favorite cards to pull now lol

it used to freak me out too but I started thinking of it like... when you wake up from a weird dream and you're relieved it wasn't real? that's reversed moon energy

trust your gut on that decision btw. sounds like you already know what you want to do

late to this thread but wanted to share bc I had the exact same question when I first got it

for me reversed moon ended up meaning like... the fog was lifting? I pulled it when I was going back and forth on ending a friendship that felt weird and it was basically the cards telling me I already knew the answer, I was just avoiding it

so yeah for your gut feeling question - I'd say reversed moon is often a nudge to trust what you already know deep down

update for anyone who finds this thread later: I ended up making the decision I was waffling on and honestly? the clarity thing was spot on

I was so caught up in "what ifs" that I couldn't see the situation clearly. once I stopped spiraling and just... looked at it directly, the answer was obvious the whole time lol

still think the moon reversed gets a bad rap. sometimes you just need a nudge to trust yourself
