A friend asked me this question the other day,"Why are there no shadows on the Moon card?"
and my first thought was how beautiful things
are on a moonlit night, especially the shadows,
yet Pamela's design seems to glow from within.
What do you think?
The 2 main sources used by Pamela Colman Smith
when she created her image for "The Moon" were
Le Tarot de Marseille and The Oswald Wirth Tarot.
See black and white images of both cards here:

PAPUS Tarot of the Bohemians XVIII The Moon
Of course, the Moon is always Full (we see angles):
