The Waxing Crescent Moon symbolizes a silver lining or unexpected benefit. The card being reversed gives the impression that the silver lining is buried deep, any benefits to the current situation being hidden – but worth finding.
Richard Back wrote (in Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, if memory serves) that “There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in your hands.”
Buddhist wisdom and common aphorisms like “every cloud has a silver lining all advise the same thing: There is always some small way to turn some small part of a problem into some small benefit. It’s wise to do that whenever you can.
The waxing crescent card is a cue that there is a silver lining there for you. There is some gift from some problem around you. The card’s reversal is a hint that you might be missing the good thing, or have to dig for it – but it is there.
Look for your gift, look for your silver lining, whenever you can.
