18-Luna – Upright Mage Deck

Your Chosen Card – Luna Upright Mage Deck

When upright, the Moon suggests that circumstances may be elusive, unclear, confusing, fluctuating, or unsteady at this time. The Moon has a dark side, always hidden from human view. Individuals under the influence of drugs or alcohol can cause problems. Important information may have been misunderstood or may not yet be within your grasp. Unseen influences may be at work, and matters are likely to look different in the light of day. You may be in one phase of a cycle, and only with the passage of time will the next phase reveal itself. Don’t jump to conclusions or act on impulse. Be sure you have accurate and verifiable information before making a major decision.

Keywords Upright: Illusion, mystery, haziness, unseen influences, intuitive knowledge, things are not what they seem; voluntary change, phases, cycles, dreams, imagination, psychic awareness, unconscious knowledge, introspection, gut instincts, the menstrual cycle, facing one’s fears.

Key XVIII: The Moon
Myths/Archetypes: The Moon Goddess. Hecate, gatekeeper between the worlds and the Queen of the Night. Diana, goddess of the moon, birthing, and the hunt.
Dates of Pisces: 18 February–19 March (tropical); 14 March–13 April (sidereal)
Astrology: Pisces, the Fishes (a Water sign ruled by Jupiter and Neptune)
Numerology: 9 (The Hermit) = 1 + 8 (The Moon)

Rider Waite: Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error; (R) instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error.

When Luna is upright you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If Luna is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is Luna is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Development for Beginners: Once you have gotten into a calm, relaxed state, create a mental image of a pen and paper lying next to your bed and you writing down your dream.

Elements of the Psychic World: According to one version of the story, the Palatine was a Dutch ship that left Holland in 1752 with a host of immigrants. The ship was travelling to Philadelphia but off the coast of New England it was damaged in a storm. The crew killed the captain, robbed the passengers and abandoned them, taking off in the lifeboats. The unmanned ship drifted towards Block Island, a place so dangerous for passing ships that a band of land pirates called the Block Island Wreckers made their fortune from salvaging wrecks. Curiously in the case of the Palatine, the pirates saved the lives of the passengers before plundering the ship. One woman, who had been driven insane by the trauma of the mutiny, refused to leave the ship even when it was set alight by the pirates. According to lore her screams could be heard as the flaming wreck drifted out to sea. In other versions of the story the pirates were not so merciful, but plundered the ship and set it alight with the living still on board. Yet another version claims that the captain and crew deliberately wrecked the ship so they could plunder it and rob the passengers.
