The Lovers and The Moon

A choice made with incomplete information about a person, which the tradition treats as the specific difficulty of this pair. The Moon is not deception; it is the region where you cannot see clearly. The reading is about deciding anyway, and about the temptation to fill the gaps in.

Associated with not knowing where you stand, and with the stories people construct to cover that. The pair is firm that the construction is the risk.

Read for a decision about somebody whose position is genuinely unclear. The pair favours asking over inferring.

Ask the question you have been answering for yourself. The gap is the problem, and you have been filling it rather than closing it.
