Mystical Cats Tarot - Eight of Earth

[Onaorkal]

A Siamese cat is walking on the grass with her 7 kittens diligently following her.

The ground all around them seems to be made of green grass only, with some reeds visible on the right.

That made me wonder if behind them that might be a lake and not the sky we actually see?

I thought the greenish color  of the sky was a bit weird and also I couldn't pinpoint what were the bright  green 'slopes' on both sides. At first I thought they were some hills, but now I'm not so sure anymore.

So my hypothesis is that they are near water, the green areas behind the grass could be due to the reflection of the Moon and we could be seeing the reflection of some stars in the water as well. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but I'm at a loss here haha!

Finally, we can see a bunch of fireflies surrounding the group of cats.

 

 

Color : Dark green
