☽Moon

Its letter and path

Moon rides the double letter Tav (ת), on the path that connects Yesod ↔ Malkuth.

Its sphere and correspondences

Its sphere is Yesod (יְסוֹד) — Foundation, the subconscious gateway, in the world of Yetzirah.

Dreams, intuition, emotional patterns, connection to the collective unconscious.

Further planetary correspondences (day, metal, incense) to be added from source.

Its tarot, in this current

The card on this path is High Priestess. The Golden Dawn places The World here instead, having assigned the letter to a different planet.

Its polarity

The letter Tav carries the polarity Mastery / Compulsion (Sefer Yetzirah §37). The polarity is a property of the letter; Moon supplies the energy that leans it one way or the other.

In the Sefer Yetzirah

The planetary assignment follows the Chaldean order set out at §§41 and 44; the polarity pair is given at §37 (Hayman critical edition).

Annotated passages to be added.

Where the Golden Dawn differs

In this current, Moon rides Tav (High Priestess). The Golden Dawn moved Moon to the letter Gimel, and reassigned Tav to Saturn ♄ — so on their tree the Tav card became The World.
