Juliet begs Romeo not to swear "by the moon": what is her reasoning?

• It is a cloudy night and neither lover can actually see the moon.
• Morning is quickly approaching, and with the sun coming up, the moon is waning.
• The moon changes often; Juliet fears that if Romeo swears by it, his love will be as inconsistent
• The moon is too bright, and Juliet fears it might mean Romeo's promise will be an unstable one.
