Sun and Moon in Astrology
In astrology the sun and moon are considered the two sides of everything in our earthly existence. There is nothing in this world that cannot be separated into these two principles, they constitute the most basic split of the absolute 'one' (monad) or prime energy in the hierarchy of descent into matter. These two half's are two aspects of the 'one' that become distinguishable in the physical existence and are what makes it possible in the first place.

One active (sun) and the other receptive (moon), the sun and moon are the rulers of the most basic breath and rhythm of life. Exhaling and inhaling energy as reflected in the cyclic movements of every component in biological life and the vibrating fabric of all matter.
The sun in astrology is the symbol of the higher self, the emanating life force and the eye of consciousness, it is the animating principle, the self generating cause of life, movement and action, and it is the source of light which is reflected from every part of our being, just like the light of the sun is reflected from the wandering planets.
