Tarot by Moon Phase
Most tarot libraries organise the cards by suit and stop there. Moon Crown adds the second map: every card's lunar lens — the phase of the Moon where its energy belongs. A card drawn tonight means the same thing it always means, but the phase tells you how to work with it: what to plant, act on, release, or rest inside. Walk the pathways in cycle order, or begin with the phase above your house tonight.
New Moon
Plant. The New Moon is the blank page of the cycle: darkness, intention, and seeds not yet visible. · 8 cards
Waxing Crescent
First steps. The Waxing Crescent is the first slender light after intention: tender, early action taken before results can encourage you. · 9 cards
First Quarter
Act & adjust. The First Quarter Moon is the cycle's engine room: momentum meets its first honest friction, and decisions stop being theoretical. · 11 cards
Waxing Gibbous
Ripen. The Waxing Gibbous Moon is the long brightening: nearly there, not yet full, asking for persistence and refinement rather than drama. · 10 cards
Full Moon
Illuminate & harvest. The Full Moon is the cycle's lantern: everything is lit, nothing is hiding, and what was planted can be seen at its true size. · 15 cards
Waning Gibbous
Share. The Waning Gibbous Moon turns the harvest outward: gratitude, teaching, and giving back what the bright half of the cycle taught you. · 7 cards
Last Quarter
Release. The Last Quarter Moon is the cycle's honest editor: what is not working is named, forgiven, and let go. · 7 cards
Waning Crescent
Rest. The Waning Crescent is the cycle's deep exhale: surrender, quiet, and gentle endings held without urgency. · 5 cards
Dark Moon
Dream. The Dark Moon is the still point at the very end of the cycle — the night or two when the Moon is invisible and the sky belongs to the stars. · 6 cards
