The Moon with three sections hangs in a blue sky anticipating the arrival of our traveler. Blue is the color of mental endeavors. The sliver of the Moon represents the super-subconscious, the face with the closed eyes represents the subconscious, and the space in front of the face represents the consciousness. There is a blending of all three as this person approaches the path. There are Heods falling from the sky. Remember that Heod is another word for God, so we know there is protection for this person. The gray Twin Towers in the background let us know that are decisions to be made once the traveler has reached that point of accomplishment. They will need to decide how to use their newfound wisdom and courage. Notice that the yellow path is elevated into the mountains, telling us that they are indeed moving upward with increased energy. The two jackals at the beginning of the path are both protectors, but because of the subtle dualities of The Moon, they could try to get in the way and cause confusion for this soul. Another indicator of interference is the crayfish coming out of the blue water. Here we have a figure rising out of what should be spiritual energy, but can mean that outside influences could try to divert attention away from this wonderful new path. all the time pretending to be supportive.
If the High Priestess, Hermit or/and the Heirophant is in this layout, this soul is indeed in Mighty Company. These spirits are keeping a pre-birth promise of guidance and protection for the soul as it follows the agreed upon path. They have no choice but to learn fast. It has taken them a lot of soul searching to get to this point. Now the work really begins for them. Like it or not, transformation is going to happen.

Reverse: They are doing what they should be doing. The Universe is scolding them for not committing to the process. There is great fear in their hearts for what they know lies ahead, but they are having a very difficult time starting. Maybe they just need a gentle nudge in a less threatening direction and encouragement to take baby steps at first.
