Fortune interpretation from two cards
The characteristics of this year
The “18. The Moon” card signifies a year marked by fluctuations in your emotional rhythms and mental changes, making you more susceptible to external influences and somewhat emotionally unstable. Paired with “9. The Hermit,” which represents sharing your experiences with the world and uncovering truths, it suggests a year for sharing your personal experiences.
This year, you should expect to experience emotional instability and may not be suited for highly active endeavors. Just as the image of the crab emerging from the water on “The Moon” card suggests, your subconscious, which usually lies deep within, will come to the surface. You can view this year as an opportunity to confront your true self and the essence of who you are, without being overly influenced by external factors.
”The Hermit” represents a year for sharing your experiences, but it also implies the potential for solitude. It’s a good year to spend quietly, reflecting on your interests and curiosities, and exploring the depths of your own consciousness.
While this year may not bring exceptionally good fortune, it’s also not necessarily a year of bad luck. Use this time to believe in future stability and growth, focus on introspection, and spend your energy delving into your interests and curiosities.
Trends in love and marriage
Unrequited love
Losing sight of the other person’s feelings and the future. The emotional distance between you and the other person has become too wide, and there are too many things that you cannot see. There is virtually no communication, and your feelings do not reach each other. You become psychologically unstable to the point that it affects your daily life. There is an issue within you. Doubts and beliefs in rumors are dispelled.
In a relationship
Increasing secrecy and lies shake trust. It becomes evident that you’re not genuinely involved. You’re uncertain about how far you should go with the other person. You need to listen to your own feelings. It’s important to be cautious, as it can affect your mental and physical health. Sharing your daily life and sleeping together make the relationship feel more grounded. It’s not about excitement but an emotional connection. Building trust gradually over time is necessary.
Encounter
In a stagnant state. You tend to attract secret love affairs that you can’t share with others. You’re unable to move forward because you haven’t settled past relationships. You seem to desire this state of not moving forward. You have the potential for a traditional relationship where women support men. Love may transition from romantic to familial love through comforting experiences. In some cases, you may move in together, get married, or even become pregnant with a partner who matches your mental state.
Marriage
An arranged marriage brought through your parents or relatives. You don’t have a clear vision of your own for marriage. You struggle to envision the role of a spouse. You may find yourself going along with the persuasion of those around you, complicating your inner doubts and anxieties. Reunions or returning to your hometown might lead to connections with someone from the same area. There’s a possibility of early cohabitation with your partner’s parents or facing caregiving or mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues shortly after marriage.
Health
Be cautious of diseases and injuries related to the sense of balance.

The characteristics of this year
“A year of emotional instability”
”The Moon” card represents the rhythms of the heart, psychological changes, and can indicate a year where you are easily influenced and might experience emotional instability.
This year, you might find yourself more concerned about the opinions and true feelings of those around you. In other words, you’ll be inclined to listen openly to others, and your communication will be more intuitive and perceptive, even with ambiguous or unclear matters.
The moon in the card symbolizes psychological and mental changes, fluctuations in emotions, and high sensitivity to inner transformations.
The nighttime setting is dim and mysterious, revealing hidden aspects such as secrets, dreams, concealment, and intuition. The two animals, the dog and the wolf, represent human characteristics; the dog symbolizes intelligence and civilization, while the wolf represents wild freedom. In the center, there is an unclear path leading to an unknown destination.
The towers on the left and right represent contrasts: facade and true feelings, outward and inward, light and shadow, the glamorous and the hidden, visible and invisible aspects, and more.
The crayfish, although present but usually unnoticed in everyday life, represents the consciousness (subconscious) rising from the water to the surface at night (consciousness). However, it cannot survive on land and returns to the water. In essence, it symbolizes the manifestation of the subconscious only at night.
The rippling water surface signifies mental disturbances like anxiety and fear.
Given the complexity of the elements within the card, it suggests a year characterized by mental instability and a complex inner world.
This year may lead you to adopt a more nocturnal lifestyle and might not be suitable for intense activity or bold challenges. It can be seen as a preparatory year for improving your mental well-being as your fortunes gradually rise. Taking the time to rest and recover your exhausted spirit until dawn might be a good approach.
Warning
“You become confused by the opinions of those around you”
This year, you may find yourself overly concerned about the opinions and perspectives of those around you. You might absorb other people’s opinions to the point where you become confused about whether a decision or thought was your own or someone else’s.
Your openness to ambiguous situations may lead you to accept anything quite readily, making it challenging to discern where someone else’s opinion ends and your own thoughts begin. Being aware of this tendency is important to avoid confusion.

The characteristics of this year
“A year to share experiences”
”A year to share experiences: The Hermit card signifies sharing truths and essences with the world. This year will be about sharing your experiences.
As you share the core aspects, perspectives, insights, and essence you have discovered through your experiences, the gears of relationships and life seem to fall into place naturally.
The Hermit card also carries a sense of compassion. Not just towards specific individuals, but a kindness and compassion towards everyone around you—a universal compassion.
The elderly figure in the card stands upright, a symbol of strength and vitality, indicating that your energy and vigor are not diminished.
The lamp with the six-pointed star symbolizes wisdom, as if by raising it high, you are spreading the crystallized truth, superior wisdom, and profound intelligence you have gained to the world.
The staff in the hand represents authority, akin to what leaders or religious figures hold. The ‘crystallization of essence’ you possess may guide and lead people, perhaps becoming an exemplar.
If you are still young or lacking in experience, this may be a year of self-exploration. You might find yourself curious about unique interests, eccentric curiosities, and idiosyncratic truths that are slightly detached from societal norms.
Materialistic obsessions may fade as you delve into self-exploration, displaying a keen focus on seeking and understanding truths and essences. It promises to be a year of curiosity fulfilled and a year of freedom, joy, and fulfillment.”
Warning
“Not in harmony with the surroundings”
”This year, there is a tendency to become overly fixated, and there may be instances where you are not understood by those around you. It’s important to be cautious because being seen as stubborn or inflexible can lead to a lack of harmony with your surroundings.
Your strong spiritual world, obsessions, or eccentric interests may become more prominent, making it difficult for others to accept different ideologies or beliefs. As a result, you may become more closed-off at times.”
