an excerpt from the picatrix (loosely edited by me)
"[the moon] symbolizes the beginning of works, great contemplations of things, good sense and motives, the best wording in advice, boasting of speaking well, daring in all things, necessities in life that the fortunate desire, and good manners in society. she is gracious, quick, and neat in all acts, moving lightly toward what she desires, with a healthy and clear will among humankind. she signifies the forsaking of evil, a desire for a good reputation, a love of joy and beautiful things, an investigator of noble sciences and those worth the cost like astrology, magic, and other arcana, one who desires companionship and family, and good things for their relatives. she symbolizes love and honor from humankind, abhors iniquity, and is fair in all her works. on account of one of her own qualities, she signifies forgetfulness and necessity."
