The Tarot Room – Georgianna

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 …

1. The Moon is part of the Major Arcana, and as such, more like a weather pattern moving in than a particular circumstance.
2. As #18 in the Major Arcana, its place is towards the end of a long pattern or cycle.
3. There are two dogs, one looks a little jackal, or wolf-like, the other has a more domesticated feel.
4. Is the crayfish planning to crawl out of the water, or just sit at the edge? And speaking of, why is there a crayfish?
5. The path leads right out of the picture. I wonder where it’s going.
6. What are the towers guarding? Or are they just a gateway … if so, to where?
7. 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.

Today’s Tarot Card Compare looks at 3 versions of Tarot’s Moon card.

The first is from Emily Carding’s Tarot of the Sidhe. The second is from The Muse Tarot by Chris-Anne. And the third is from the Rider-Waite-Smiith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.

How are themes of facing our fears, mystery, reflection, and the unknown represented in each of these cards. How are they similar? What sets each apart?

I fall easily into each of these images. Do you have a favourite?
