Dark Moon
THE PAST
You’re ready to leave something behind. Fear is stopping you from moving forward, but there’s nothing to be scared of. Something in your past needs to be released. It could be a perceived failure, a relationship, a fear created by something that happened to you, recently or a long time ago.
It’s holding you back.
An important distinction to make: The Dark Moon energies of this card are ‘dark’ as per the expression, ‘it’s darkest before the dawn.’ That’s the darkness we’re talking about here. So when this card comes up, you’re at a precipice of some kind.
Either you fall back into the past or you decide to call your energies back into you, so that you no longer have a part of your energetic body stuck in the past.
The energy around you now holds the literally awesome power of the Dark Goddess we were all taught to fear, but who in truth helps us to break with the past. Clear out negativity now to make space for something new and better. That’s the message of this card.
🌙 Additional meanings for this card 🌙

You’re about to turn the corner at last.
It’s dark before the dawn.
There’s nothing to fear.
Embrace your power.
🌑 About this symbol 🌕
The Dark Moon comes at the end of the lunar cycle. It’s not something you learn about in most astrology schools, but it’s one of the most powerful moments in the lunar cycle – pay attention when this card comes up.
