This is a great question and it sounds like you've found a potentially really exciting avenue to explore. I'm not a Latinist so I don't feel I should be giving advice on this, but I really hope you get a helpful response soon!

Really happy to have been able to share some of my research on the moon with The Conversation:
theconversation.com/for-medieval...
For medieval people, the Moon was both a riddle and a blessing
As a symbol, the Moon did not have an easily decipherable meaning – which encouraged medieval people to read it in playful ways.

I hope we each have a chance to 'speak the language of the moon' today 😊.

Just read a wonderful chapter by Anu Aneja, ‘The errant feminine of Bhakti and Sufi aesthetics’. Highly recommended. 😊
