The Moon is the 18th major arcana of the Tarot de Marseille.
Signification of the Moon
The Moon represents: the cosmic order, the myths and legends, the feminine energy, the 18, the Hebrew letter tsadé.
A huge crab appears on the map of the Moon. He devours the weight of the past.
The constellations of the little dog and big dog appear near the shore: they both watch the path of the Moon. The barking defy the Moon to move away from its orbit.
Dogs are the representatives of the cosmic order, of the unconscious. A dog on the map of the Moon also remembers the werewolf and the full moon … as well as the myth of Artemis.
Message from the Moon
The Moon makes man understand that he is far from dominating: on the contrary! Conditioned through emotional energies, he controls nothing.
