Luna

from The Mantegna Tarocchi, c. 1465

The Moon as a woman riding a two-wheeled chariot drawn by two horses across the sky, a crescent held up in her hand, a lake with a boat and hills below. First of the ten heavenly spheres, lettered A. The last group runs outward from the Moon through the planets to the Eighth Sphere of fixed stars, the Primum Mobile, and the First Cause: the universe as Ptolemy described it.
