- In the uiniversal language of mind, the sun indicates awareness in superconscious mind. The moon indicates awareness in subconscious mind. Together would be a combination. Hightened awareness begins with the use of undivided attention with purpose.

- Pagans tend to use the sun as a representation of the god and the moon as a representation of the goddess. Seen together they are symbolic of the duality of deity, the equal balance of male and female as it is found in nature as well as the gods. This makes sense because in Spanish moon is luna feminine and sun is sol masculine.

∙ 15y agoI would definitely call it a phenomenum!! However, I am sure your question is what it is called when the moon and the sun line up. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun, and when the planets line up, the moon will cause the effects of the sun to darken. This is called a solar eclipse.

∙ 11y agoWhen the moon is lined up on the same side of the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs. This is because, as the moon lines up with the Earth and sun, it casts a shadow onto the Earth's surface.
But you don't usually get an eclipse because of the tilt of the Moon's orbit. The
phrase that probably answers the question is " New Moon".
