Today’s post is part of a series where I share some observations and/or questions about images in specific cards.
It’s not so much about defining the cards, but rather a series of points you might look at to widen your own interpretation of the images.
Seven Observations/Questions about the Rider-Waite-Smith Moon card …
- The Moon is part of the Major Arcana, and as such, more like a weather pattern moving in than a particular circumstance.
- As #18 in the Major Arcana, its place is towards the end of a long pattern or cycle.
- There are two dogs, one looks a little jackal, or wolf-like, the other has a more domesticated feel.
- Is the crayfish planning to crawl out of the water, or just sit at the edge? And speaking of, why is there a crayfish?
- The path leads right out of the picture. I wonder where it’s going.
- What are the towers guarding? Or are they just a gateway … if so, to where?
- Is the moon in eclipse? What’s flying off it?
And of course, there’s so much more to the images in this card. I encourage you to keep delving.
