The circular shape of the symbol has led switch to other interpretation: the union of the underworld (represented by the serpent) and the celestial world (represented by the circle). This interpretation is confirmed by the fact that the uroboros, in some representations, is half black and half white. Mean so the union of two opposing principles, heaven and earth, yin and yang Chinese, and all the values ​​that these opposites are carriers.
