The Moon Oracle

Mind Body Soul Magazine Card Deck Review: The Moon Oracle - Let the Phases of the Moon Guide Your Life by Caroline Smith and the late John Astrop. Published by Eddison Books. £19.99 Card Size: 3.5" x 5"

Answer your life questions using the rhythms of the moon! 

A quality boxed set of 72 cards plus guidebook based on GMT with a time change chart for other international cities. The instruction book includes:
Moon Tables from 2016- 2032 with date, phase, sign and element
12 Moon Goddesses
28 Moon Mansions
4 x 8 Moon Phases in each of the elements

The instruction book also provides full information on how to perform a reading, what spreads to use with Q & A for a 5, a 7 and a 10 card reading. 

Each Moon Phases cards depict an image, a moon phase, a title, a number, an element and an energy. The book provides further information on the moon in one of three signs. Each goddess card provides a goddess image, a goddess name, a zodiac sign and a moon phase. 

The book provides further information about each goddess, their element, a suitable key phrase, the myth of the goddess and the card meaning.
Each Mansions Card provides an image, a number, a title, two planetary signs and the mansions. 
The book provides further information on each Mansion card with a key phrase, an explanation of the image, tradition and the card meaning. 

Some astrological knowledge would be useful in working with these cards. I think that the deck is most suitable for women. If you have an affinity for the beauty and magic of the moon, and want to deepen your connection, I would recommend this deck. It is all you need to learn Lunar astrology and to provide readings for yourself and others. Comprehensive and easy to use. 


Sample: This card is numbered 2 as a Mansion Card and titled Musician. Its key phrase "An easy opportunity; a creative high". It is ruled by the Sun and Jupiter from 12.51 Aries to 25.2 Aries. Second Lunar Mansion is a time to discover treasures. It shows a young woman with skin the colour of vegetation and hair the colour of the Sun. She holds a viola and a book of music falls to her feet. She wears a garland of pink flowers. She runs across the sandy slope looking behind her. A flock of birds fly in the distance. She represents young shoots reaching out to the creative heat of the Sun. As the Sun combines with Jupiter in the last two decanates of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are activated. Opportunity knocks. The card of self-expression, creativity and success.
