sun and moon

Day and night

Sun and moon is a phrase describing a pair of opposites that together form a complete whole—day and night, masculine and feminine, gold and silver.

The expression often appears in contexts of balance or complementary forces: They were sun and moon to each other.

In tattoo and jewelry design, sun and moon imagery represents duality and cosmic harmony.
