I guess that makes the change more emphatic, in a way.

I like it! I'm personally not an astrological afficianado, but I've always loved lunar symbology. Staring at the moon is one of the most calming things for me.

I'm genuinely curious why you anthropomorphic-ized the moon into a trans man. Luna is usually associated with femenity.
As a bisexual guy, I think it's interesting. Did you associate the scars with the moon's craters and the monthly changes of how we see it? That's just my personal take.
Edit: I also always love nipple rings.

Just got done watching it until I got too cold and had to go back inside. Super cool, I've never seen one before. Watched it from about the point the Moon was 1/3 covered to around 20 min of totality. So awesome.

I think it's also a Western thing. A big motif in European mythologies that derive from Greek and Roman ones associate the sun with fire and masculinity, while the moon is more water and calmness, and thus female. Prometheus and Artemis, yadda yadda.
The same is true of Abrahamic stuff. Burning bush and all that, God brought light to the void of the ocean with his fire, etc.
