Moon phases don't change tarot accuracy. But they do change the energy you're reading within. Pull cards at the right time, and the messages land differently.

Energy: Growth, accumulation, forward movement
Best Questions:
• What's helping me move forward?

Best Questions:
• What needs to be released?

• What's the truth about this situation?
Warning: Full moon readings can be intense. Don't ask about exes or toxic patterns unless you're ready for brutal honesty.
Energy: Release, cleansing, closing chapters
Best Questions:
• What am I ready to release?
• How can I create space for the new?
• What lesson am I integrating?
If you read at both new moon and full moon for the same question, compare the two. New moon shows the seed. Full moon shows what actually grew. The gap between them is your lesson.
You don't need to wait for moon phases to read tarot. But if you align with the lunar cycle, you'll notice your practice deepening over time. The moon's been doing this dance for billions of years. Might as well read with her.
