From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Moon; from the
Dreaming in Color Deck, 'Respite:'
As this woman combs her hair beneath a cloud covered moon, she seems to be in a daze. Without the light of clarity, everything that bubbles up from her unconscious can make things a tad confusing. Our blind spots may use this information to create something frightening that is not based in fact. The Respite card - a message to take a break and rest - allows receptivity without activity. There's no need to draw any firm conclusions right away. As the Tao Te Ching advises:
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky. (Tao 12)
Receptive as a valley.
Clear as a glass of water. Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself? (Tao 15)
That's the trick isn't it? To sit in silence and wait till our thoughts and emotions clear. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, ahh.
