What do The Moon and the Sun mean together in tarot?

Together, The Moon and The Sun tell the passage from night to day: intuition, dreams and doubt on one side, clarity, joy and truth on the other. Their pairing speaks of balance between the unconscious and the conscious, and of what finally comes to light after an uncertain time.

What do The Moon and the Sun show?

On the left, The Moon (XVIII): a full moon with a face in profile, between two grey towers, shedding yellow drops; an orange dog and a pale wolf howl at it, a red crayfish crawls out of a pool and a path winds toward the mountains. On the right, The Sun (XIX): a great sun with a calm face; beneath it, a naked child crowned with flowers and a red feather, arms open on a white horse without a saddle, a large red banner in the wind, before sunflowers rising above a grey wall.

Both cards share the same layout, centered on a cream background, with their number at the top and their name at the bottom.
