The Star, The Moon, and The Sun are very popular Tarot cards with fanartists because of their celestial imagery. However, the celestial imagery is actually not the most important part of these cards, nor what best represents their meaning. Focusing only on the name often leads to beautiful illustrations that don't truly engage with the cards' meaning. Below is a quick overview of the most important elements of these cards.
The star is a card of hope, opportunity, and inspiration. It reminds the person who draws it in a reading of a need for balance. This is achieved by depicting seven stars that represent the seven chakras, as well as a naked woman pouring two containers of water into a pool and onto the ground respectively. In Tarot, water represents emotion. Pouring water into a pool represents letting go of the past and negative emotions, while pouring it onto the ground represents putting your energy into something new. Often, there are seedlings or young plants visible on the ground. These represent hope and opportunity.
More so than the stars or any celestial imagery, it’s actually the jugs of water and plants that represent the core meaning of the card.
The moon is a card of deceit, illusions, confusion, and emotions. It is also a card of warning; the moon tells you to be watchful for secrets that are being kept and people that are trying to manipulate you. While many artists choose to depict a full moon for this card, the moon not being full is actually significant. The dark side of the moon represents things that are hidden or kept secret. Two animals, a dog and a wolf, howl at the partially obscured moon—a warning to pay attention, because you may be being lied to.
This card is very connected to emotions. Your emotions are being manipulated and you may be confused. Once again, this card contains a pool of water to symbolize emotion. A crayfish emerges from that pool; it represents the astrological water signs, further hinting at turbulent emotions.
The most important aspect of The Moon is in fact the warning; therefore, the animals and the pool of water are actually more significant than the moon itself.
The Sun is a card of happiness, love, family, friends, and growth. The sun itself represents happiness. It shines down from above, nourishing everything and causing sunflowers, which represent growth, to flourish. The card also depicts a naked baby or toddler atop a white horse, representing innocence and joy. It is also connected to a common possible meaning, which is quite literal: a pregnancy or expansion to your family may be in your future. Similarly, the baby can also represent a new figure in your love life or friend group.
In this case, the sun is a significant aspect of the card—but it’s far from the only one. For all three of these cards, it’s important to remember that the meaning is more important than the name. Celestial imagery may be pretty—but for Tarot, pretty alone just isn’t enough. To properly engage with the meaning of the card, more is needed.

Tarot cards have different meanings depending on if you draw them in an upright position or upside down, aka reversed. Even though drawing an upside down card in a reading is called a reversal, not all cards actually have their meaning reversed. Some reversed cards do have an opposite meaning to their upright version, but others are inverse, or related to but still different from the main meaning, while still others simply lessen the intensity of the main meaning.
Temperance is an example of a card where the meaning fully reverses, with the main meaning being related to balance and the reversed meaning centering around imbalance. The Five of Wands, however, is an example of a card where the main meaning is lessened, with the main meaning relating to conflict and tension and the reversed meaning relating to competition and frustration.
For beginners, it’s recommended you stick to reading cards in the upright position only. Once you get more comfortable with the cards, you’ll be able to read reversed cards as well!

All emails with contributor and mod results have officially been sent. If you signed up, make sure to check your inbox & your spam folder to make sure you don't miss our email!
If you applied and didn't receive an email, feel free to shoot us an ask or reach out on one of our other socials after checking your spam folder.
We'd like to thank everybody who applied! If you missed your chance or didn't get in, we're planning on opening up additional pinch hitter applications somewhere down the line. For those of you who aren't artists, we hope you follow along with us here, on our other socials, or by keeping an eye on our carrd.
Question! Perhaps a little late, but were the forms set to give email receipts? If not, can I ask if I submitted so I know whether I should be checking my email?
The forms were not sent to automatically give email receipts, no. From what I can see it doesn't seem like you signed up, but since mentioning your social media was optional I can't be entirely sure. If you haven't received an email by April 6 at the latest, chances are you didn't sign up.
If you're still interested, we'll likely open up applications for pinch hitters down the line!
Hi, sadly I missed the application period because I misread the date. Is there any chance that the period could be extended or there could be a second round of applications? Thank you in advance for your reply
Hi!
Sorry to hear you missed the deadline. We got nearly 90 applications, so we will not be extending the application period or opening up a second round. However, we are considering opening up apps for pinch hitters in the future, so keep an eye out for that!
Applications for the Sonadow Tarot Project are now officially closed! Keep an eye on your inbox if you applied; we'll be sending assistant mod results from March 23 to March 28. The results for contributors will be sent from March 29 to April 5. Make sure to check both your inbox and your spam folder to ensure you don't miss the email.
Hi, can one person apply to multiple mod positions? I know there's one I prefer more but I also feel I'm a good fit for another one; as in I apply for two but you pick which one I fit better in your opinion (or at all!)
Applications for the Sonadow Tarot Project are closing in three days. If you want to sign up to be one of our contributors or an assistant mod (we're especially still looking for a graphics mod!), don't wait! Sign up below before apllications close:
