The Moon is in the sky,not in the water.

in Aarab legend,the delicate markings on the
face of the moon were said to have been traced by the wing
feathers of Jibrail brushing against the lunar sphere.
In this image,the silvery lunar crescent is depicted surmounted by a great crab,
upon which is mounted the lady of the moon,with her mirrror,
arrow,and serpents twined about her crown,arms and feet-
a traditional magical image of the moon drawn from arabic astrological
lore. Here we are reminded of the words of the twelfth-century Persian Sufi Ruzbehan Baqli,
who wrote:
" In the first I saw jibrail,like maiden,or like the Moon amongst the stars...
the most beautiful of Angels."
Below,on each side,are two tall minaret towers,before which watchful guardian dogs are shown seated.
The crab represents the zodiacal sign of Cancer,which the arab astrologers called Sartan,whose ruler is the moon
,and the two hounds are the Greater and Lesser Dog Stars within that constellation.
Rumi often employs the traditional image of dogs baying at the moon:

"The full moon is moving by night on the upper part of the sky
:it does not cease from its journey because of the outcry
of the dogs".

a great pool,or lake of waters,the watery tides ruled by the moon cycles, is also shown in the landdscape.
The moon is the celestial mirror of the heavens, and its rulership of water epitomizes the principle of reflected light,the greater reflected in the lesser. the Rumi says:

"Whatever is seen,in man is the reflection of God,even as the reflection of the moon in water."
rumi also uses the metaphor of the moons reflection in water to counsel us not to mistake the symbol for what it reflects and symbolizes,not to be deluded or beguiled by names but instead to seek the spiritual reality behind what is named and to which the name points.
The seeker must go beyond apperances and rise beyond external representations to gain real knowledge of spiritual truth:
"The moon is in the sky,,not in the water.".
The symbols reflects,as in a mirror,the quality of the divine attribute and beautiful name
al-Zahir,"the outward,the evident."
