besides all the other possible interpretations of this
card which lie strictly in adversity. this card has a
very holy side to it which should never be overlooked.
aquarius is the ultimate air sign, and therefore the
intellect and consciousness of the indiviual, while the
moon is the ultimate astrological symbol of the
subconscious. now being that these are together in one
card doesnt mean that they are without one another,
they are as one here. it is the merging of the hidden
will that the macrocosm drives you on (subconscious)
and your own path you take in life (conscious). it as
well is a powerful symbol of the order of the silver
star that the creator of this tarot deck founded, if
seven swords were crossed into a circle it would make a
seven pointed silver star, just as the sigil of the
order. the great work completed.

Besides the well known idea of cheating, to me this
card also stands for wondering and skepticism, but
always knowing to be on the way home.

Water is not a good place for the moon's
self-image. Moon being emotion, and ruling
Cancer, needs a stable home, and the shifting
shimmering reflective surface of Aquarius in this
card makes one feel, not suprisingly, unstable.
But, Aquarius being an Air sign, the Swords here
feel like they're on home turf. The problem is
that they have here no ruling dogma, no cherished
idea, because the inspired synthesis of the Six
has met with the essential indescibability of
actual experience. A gang of Swords with no strong
leader, and nothing to do but idly bully the moon.

The full moon reflected in the waters
of the entire ocean, which moon itself
cannot escape its own imbibement into waveform emptiness,
all of which would be only painfull awareness for the
inhabitants of the ocean.
Although it might be quite an idea to ostracize
the moon from the ocean altogether and lose sight
of even the possibility of actually being the moon.

Moon in Aquarius.
Mental fear of going forward.
Hopeless.
Emotions saying "you can't"
but mind is saying "you can".
Emotions keeping you at bay, causing doubt.
