The cards in the deck provide answers to the user’s questions about their life as well as offering teachings on moon phases and moon positions. The cards will be named after a moon phase (full moon, new moon, quarter moon, crescent moon, super moon), or moon positions in the starsigns or houses. Each card will show how the energy of this moon position relates to an area of life, including life goals, communication, relationships, new beginnings, health, love, work, dreams, healing, success, family, home, money, travel, and friends. The cards will also offer guidance on action to take or things to reflect on. With magical and mystical illustrations, this deck is a beautiful and wise companion for those wishing to harness the moon’s power!
Moonology Oracle Cards Reviews
-
The cards are beautiful and I enjoy using them. The book that comes with it is nice. It’s an actual mini book unlike the usual ones that comes with some tarot decks.
-
Beautiful cards, very thoroughly considered text -- encouraging, supportive, positive.
Definitely helped me tap into my subconscious to help me think outside the box and look at a situation from a different angle.
The only thing I don't enjoy is that there is no alphabetical index, which makes finding a card in the corresponding book not always so easy. -
Book and deck
-
Beautiful cards. Very difficult to shuffle due to coating/finish. Not tried reading with them yet

Well…I have to take this review in two parts…the deck and the book.
The Deck:
The deck is romantic to the point of magical. The dark colors, the landscapes, the moon in its different signs, phases, and aspects…if you use the appropriate incense to smoke the cards with first (I suggest a good Moon incense every six months to a year, preferably at night), you could really enjoy shuffling and working with them. It’s like stepping out of the plain world and into the world of wonder. It’s really cool.
The only complaint I have with these cards is they have the possible one-phrase explanation printed on each card. It seems to limit any other interpretation that a given card could mean. It’s a little tough to ignore for the sake of flexibility. The name of the card was good enough. I actually thought of using a marker or some white-out to “erase” the pseudo-predetermined meaning. On the other hand, I hate to ruin the look of the cards.
When you first get this deck, it’s kind of tough to shuffle because the cards are printed on durable stock. You have to work with them a while to break them in. But at least you know they’ll last for a while. This deck is good for one-card readings every night or early in the morning while it’s still dark, which would be my preference in using them. I’d rather keep this intended atmosphere for the purpose of card-of-the-day readings. After all, these are Moon cards. You gotta be conscious of appropriate situations. 🙂
Nevertheless, I can’t really see using these cards for actual layouts.
The Book:
The book that comes with the deck…I didn’t like so much. It’s as if the author crammed too many confusing and conflicting possible meanings onto the two pages dedicated to each card. It’s only when you get to the final three-quarters of interpretation that it actually makes more sense. I spent over a year working with this deck before I decided to write this review, and I could easily consider throwing out a good chunk of the book so it doesn’t have as many pages. But it would be easier to deal with.
Overall, I’m not sure if I should give this deck two-and-a-half or three stars, because rating it this way covers a lot of territory. The deck deserves five stars, but the book deserves maybe one or two. Plus this seems to be more of a New Age oracle deck, and I don’t personally care for weird unrealistic New Age optimisms. But the deck is simply amazing anyway. It goes to show just how complex this is.
Caveat:
There seems to be a stand-alone book that was written before these cards were published. I have the book, but I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. Maybe it will give me a better insight on what I’m working with, so I won’t feel so uncomfortable with the interpretations for what is clearly an awesome deck. -
Love, love this author and these cards are amazing. The artwork is beautiful and the messages are spot on. I connect really well with this deck, and the concept of moonology itself.
I've used these cards for about a year now, and the card stock is nice matte, which is still in great condition despite very regular use.
This is a great deck because it is also teaching you how to connect with the moon easier, aswell as connecting you to the divine. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful deck. -
Let me tell you immediately. If you do readings for others, this is a frequently requested deck. The artwork is pretty with a dull finish, nice cardstock.
The guide book is informative. Each card meaning is given on two pages. The style is very laid back and easy to understand. Yet, I find the way the meanings are written and formatted, I personally find it hard to read aloud. -
a great beginner set of oracle cards if you are just starting out. very detailed guidebook with card spreads. there is also an companion book and several resources online which is why i think this is a great deck for someone who wants to begin their oracle card journey.
i personally prefer indie decks and don’t feel very connected to my moonology deck. -
I've been using this deck for a few months now. Cards shuffle well, have a lovely size and finish. The guidebook is useful and contains easy to understand references. When I want to do an astrology based reading, or include an astrology card in another reading this is a good deck to use. Artwork is clear and relatable.

Such a beautiful oracle. Love that beautiful art. Cards are very nice to work with. Meanings are easy to understand and a guide book helps a lot as well. I really needed these and tried to order from different sites and now that I finally got these cards I'm so happy. Even my first answers were right. I'm gonna definitely main this oracle deck because it's the one that helps me the best :)

As someone who is devoted to Selene, this is a perfect oracle deck for me! I love following the cycles of the moon and these also are great to be used for spell workings, placed on my altar, etc. Can't say enough good things about this deck. Love it!

Love these cards, simple and easy to use. Have to admit I've not used the guide but really don't think it's needed as the cards give you enough information and the rest comes intuitively.
