Goddess Tarot: 9 ~ Contemplation: Chang O

Chang O is the Chinese goddess of the moon. She is shown upon the moon, literally a world apart from others. She has her pet, a white hare. She is actually transparent- owing to her misguided attempt to return to divinity- see link below. I feel like she has grown beyond her silly mistake- that perhaps that was the necessary fumble for her, so she would be in isolation, and able to explore the mysteries of humanity and divinity in solitude.

I see her, not as selfish or stupid, but as gentle, and grown wise from her mistakes. I feel that she has a lot of compassion for humans, being that she once stood where we are now.
