“But I howl like a wolf at the moon”
Angela & Uncle Jerry identify the Moon as a specific tarot card reference. Uncle Jerry describes the card: the goddess of the moon looking down between two towers with a placid expression, a wolf howling, and a lobster/clawed creature emerging from water below, almost unseen, signifying lurking danger. He explains the Moon card can symbolize error, danger, or an ominous portent. Taylor's line directly echoes the wolf imagery on the card.
