In alchemy , the Sun and Moon are among the most important symbols and represent the basic principles of existence and the process of transformation.
The Sun (☉) symbolizes gold, perfection, spiritual light and the masculine principle. It is associated with consciousness, power, activity and fire. It represents the ultimate goal of alchemy - the attainment of purity, wholeness and enlightenment.
The Moon (☽) symbolizes silver, intuition, mutability and the feminine principle. It is associated with night, water, the subconscious and the inner world. It represents a phase of purification, maturation and inner transformation.
Together, the Sun and Moon express the union of opposites, known as coniunctio - the sacred union of the masculine and feminine principles. This union was considered the key to the creation of the philosopher's stone and the attainment of spiritual and material perfection.
