Tarot cards are divided into two main categories; Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. The Moon Tarot Card is part of the Major Arcana of the Standard Tarot deck.
The Major Arcana is a set of 22 cards among the 78 tarot cards, starting with card 0: The Fool and ending with card 21: The End of the World.
It is generally believed that the cards in the Major Arcana depict major life events and lessons, while the Minor Arcana is more about the details of everyday life.
Card 18: The Moon is sandwiched between Card 17: Stars and Card 19: Sun, followed by Card 15: Devil and Card 16: Tower.
Because the Moon is part of a set of three celestial bodies made up of several cards representing chaos and destruction, I often think of the Moon as a redemption card, like a sunny day after a storm.
