Glyph: Spring
This card is another of my favorites. I find it utterly enchanting. It doesn't have any of The Moon's traditional elements. There is no crayfish, no wolf or dog, or any towers. Instead, we have a woman dressed in a kimono dancing with a polar bear while swans swim about them. Above them shines a crescent moon (waning) in a star-filled night sky.
I see this as being a card of dreams, whimsy, and fantasy. It lacks the ominous feeling that I'm used to in many other versions of The Moon. It also feels very romantic. The bear and the woman seem to be really connecting. It reminds me of Beauty and the Beast.
I'm not sure what to make of the accompanying phrase "Harmony in giving and receiving." I suppose the woman and the bear are in harmony with each other. Perhaps each gives what the other lacks?
