Moons and Their Meanings.
We find ourselves fascinated and awed by the power of the moon star tattoos for numerous reasons. Different images of moons and stars in different phases can mean many different things.
Different Stars and Their Meanings.
The image of a star can symbolize so much to a vast amount of people. It can evoke feelings of nostalgia, love, rebellion, portray the knowledge of finding one’s own path or signify finding your way home. The image of a moon and several stars strung together into a tattoo design will also appeal to quite a few just because of their whimsical and flirty sense.
As a symbol, the star is a reminder that all great things must come to an end—even those that rule the sky must go to live somewhere else one day. Moon and star tattoo images make for gorgeous artwork pieces that can be placed anywhere on the body.
The Crescent Moon.
The Crescent Moon tattoo usually symbolizes the aging Goddess. That does not mean it symbolizes the age of the body, it could depict the aging of the spirit, the growth of maturity or being able to leave something in the past such as a bad habit, a lost relationship or grief that you have finally found the strength to let go of.
Moons and stars can also represent moments that have gone by, lost loves, the death of a loved one or the end of an important moment in your life such as graduating from college or setting out into the world on your own or your last piece of body art.
There can be no greater symbol connected to the words moon and star than that of mystery. An image of a silvery full moon seemingly trapped behind the thin and smoky wall of nearly translucent clouds will give way to an overpowering urge to wash the clouds away and see what else may be lying underneath.
The other popular meaning of combining the star and moon is when the moon represents the masculine side whereas the star represents the feminine. The combining of the two in a tattoo design can symbolize the joining together of two people and their bond together through love.
In many cultures several animals are said to represent the moon like the wolf, coyote, jaguar, owl and even a cat. And image of a crescent or full moon and stars surrounding one of these animals easily makes for a magnificent moon star tattoo and signifies strength, loyalty and even territorial boundaries.
A full moon is often connected to fertility and femininity. When representing motherhood the image of a beautiful full moon tattoo surrounded by stars that represent the lives that she has carried will easily depict the image of fertility.
When searching for the perfect moon star tattoo design to signify what these celestial bodies mean to you personally you should never overlook what that image may say and how it can be perceived by others.
