The Moon as a Tarot Birth Card
You have a vivid inner life and a sensitivity to atmosphere and mood. You may sense things before you can explain them, and you often feel your way through rather than reason.
As a personality card, The Moon appears when your digit total is 18. Its soul card is The Hermit.
The Moon does not appear as a soul card, since soul cards are single digits (1 to 9). It can still be your soul card if your personality number is itself a single digit.
