A warm greeting from beforehand fellow steemians, be welcome once again to my new blog your friend @fredeibarra greets you
On this occasion I want to talk a little about the symbols of the sun and the moon in tattoos, since these have always been present and are important in all cultures that have passed through the earth since the beginning of time

The symbolism of the sun can not be clearer, This since ancient times has been considered a very important symbol of power, Also known as the King of what we know as the solar system, because this gives us life And also can not remove them
The sun is known as one of the greatest responsible for life on earth, because its heat creates the ideal climate for plants and animals to be born, besides giving us its light and its brightness
Since ancient times, there have been cultures that have revered the sun as a God, A brief example of this takes us to the times of ancient Egypt, which had not only one, but three gods that were represented by the star (Horus, the rising sun- Ra, the sun in its zenith and finally Osiris, The sunset)
The meanings of sun tattoos - focus on strength, energy, are also symbols of fertility because thanks to its light and heat, life on earth develops, on the other hand it is also considered a symbol of immortality and reincarnation since the sun is hidden and reappears every day, and that act is symbolized as birth and death

For some cultures it is also considered as a symbol of authority, of royalty and high hierarchy due to all the kings and hierarchs for whom it has been used ah throughout history

We can also say that its meaning is not far from the worship and light of our star-- If any of you decide on a sun tattoo you should keep in mind that it is a very popular design and that can be easily found in the streets
Moon

No doubt the moon is a star more mysterious than the sun- embodied in the night sky, There is a theory that guarantees that the moon does not emit light, that its brightness is only a reflection of the sun- But is this correct?
The moon is responsible for tides in the oceans and is considered a symbol of change, fertility, and femininity- It is also related to numerous creatures of the night such as owls and also the wolves

Many of the cultures that have existed since ancient times related the moon to various Goddesses - eh even with some God although this is not usual- Artemis, the Greek Goddess of hunting and fertility is an example of these relationships with the moon although also on the other side of the globe, is Kuan Yines which is a Chinese goddess that symbolizes purity and also fertility

Perhaps the popularity that moons tattoos have today is due to the versatility of their designs- or it may be because of its symbolism, for example - the crescent moon that symbolizes creativity and also growth- the decreasing moon symbolizes getting rid of bad energies and negative habits- the half moon represents a dual nature- and the full moon represents change, and also madness in a good way
Note: The countries where the nights are longer are cataloged as the countries where there are more suicides per year
Union of these two symbols- The two sides of the coin

When these two symbols are united you acquire a totally different symbology, the union of opposites is created - two opposite poles to create a harmonious unity, light and darkness, The masculine and the feminine and it is also very similar to the symbol of Yin and Yang
The sun and the moon are the representatives of the two extremes of human nature, which are necessary to achieve both balance and stability- We are connected to the sun and the moon directly and we do not even realize it - As I said before, the sun rises every day, warms and illuminates the earth to help us survive- the moon illuminates the night sky, its severity controls the tides, to pregnant women, eh even something that is very common and that we do not notice is that it also affects our mood
This symbols in the tattoo acquire a meaning with a sexual connotation because it is associated with the union between man and woman, it also means eternal love and marriage

The tattoos of the sun and the moon separately can be very liked to capture them is your skin, but if you want your tattoo to be a bit spectacular do not hesitate to join these symbols as old as life itself- that have stood firm since antiquity
