I thought I understood that the symbols on Naruto's right hand and Sasuke's left hand were referring to Yang and Yin , but it may be more complicated and even more ambiguous:
Indra's moon is in the waning crescent (near new moon) , Sasuke's is in the waxing gibbous (near full moon) as well as the Uchiha clan symbol.
The problem becomes bigger than crescent moon/full moon.
-I just realized that thanks to guts2nevergiveup's thread on Samsara (
-If we count the waning gibbous (after full moon) , the waxing crescent (after new moon) , the full moon (Naruto) and the new moon (I don't know if I'm really joking:Sakura's clan symbol could very well represent a new moon) , that makes 6 steps for one cycle.
Interesting , like the 6 rings of the rinnegan.
That adds to SirDerpObito's theory of the rinnegan being symbolism of the total lunar cycle.
-Can those steps be paralleled with the 6 realms , the wheel of Samsara?
It seems that it is possible:
Often depicted on Lord Shiva’s head is a crescent moon, representing the cyclical nature of the universe. The waxing and waning of the moon symbolizes the cycle through which creation evolves (creation/maintenance/destruction).
1-Have you got any idea on what could each step represent?
2-Considering that the light that we see coming from the moon(Yin) comes from the sun(Yang) , can the rinnegan represent the mastery of all the steps of the moon cycle , life cycle , Yin/Yang mastery , enlightment?
Edit:here is a link between moon phases and the 6 trigrams in Taoism ( thanks to Aim64C ):
The six trigrams associated with the 30-day moon cycle according to Triplex Unity. Each trigram represents "one Nine"
According to the 8 trigrams :
First nine=thunder
2nd=lake
3rd=heaven
4th=wind
5th=mountain
6th=Earth
Any thoughts?
