What does the moon mean on Artemis' head?
Artemis as the Olympian goddess (rather then a Titan as the two previous were) with a tie to Apollo, a widely regarded sun god - or god of light of the sun; she was then associated with the moon because such deities as sun and moon were often siblings, though Artemis and Apollo were the only twins of such nature. Mythology makes sense of this as it's in her bloodline, for her grandmother was Phoebe, the first Titan moon goddess.
