This engraving is part of the Tarocchi group marked with the letter “A”, and named Firmaments of the Universe . This series comprises the seven planets from the classical astronomy (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) and the three celestial spheres that separate them from the Supreme Entity ( Prima Causa ) from which everything was originated. Here, Luna (Moon) is personified as a female figure steering a chariot drawn by two horses in the sky and above an imaginary landscape. With her right hand, she holds up a crescent moon.
