The Moon

The Fanatic One

Sign

Pisces

Role

The Experience of the Spirit

The Moon has luminance. It is not the source of the light, nor gives off warmth. The seeker may be looking for a truth in the illusion.

If you do not know what you want, how could you know how to find it.

The poem

The moon is not the light it shows—
it only echoes what it knows.
Its shimmer stirs the restless ones
who seek what won't face the sun.
Desire masks itself as guidance;
fear disguises itself as signs.
Illusion grows where longing lives,
and leads the seeker from their mind.
