Moon
The moon stands for honor, motherhood and quiet fortune. A bright full moon brings wishes fulfilled and harmony at home, and holding or swallowing the moon has long been read as a conception dream for a precious child. A crescent means something just begun; a waning moon means time to finish. A moon behind clouds means something good is briefly hidden — a signal to wait rather than press.
The moon does not shine on its own; it gives back light it was given. If the sun is power in the open, the moon is power filling from within, so even as a favourable dream its grain is different. The shape of the moon tells you what stage you are at.
Readings by Situation
A bright full moon
It was held to bring a wish fulfilled and harmony at home. Read it as a season when something long awaited ripens into a result. The brighter the moon, the better it is taken.
Holding or swallowing the moon
Long read as a conception dream foretelling a child of consequence. Where a birth is not in prospect, take it as gaining a precious bond, or something worth keeping for a long time.
A crescent or a waning moon
The shape of the moon is doing the talking here. A thin crescent points to something only just under way; a fading one points to the part where you tie it off. Whichever you saw, the sky has already answered whether this is a season to open or to close.
The moon behind cloud
Something good is covered for a while. It is read as a sign not to hurry but to wait for the time: it has not gone, it is simply out of sight for now.
Moon dreams speak of fortune that fills gradually. Even with no visible change yet, if the direction is right you may leave it be; setting down impatience is the grain of this dream.
