The Sun.
Eye of Horus symbolises the moon.

The Eye of Heru
'Ain means "Eye" and the eye to which it refers is the famous Eye of Heru which originally was the Eye of Ra.
This "eye" refers to the awakening clairvoyance, the pineal gland and the ajna (Third Eye) chakra.
'Ain also means "fountain" and that symbolizes the endocrine system's (especially the pineal's) reaction to a fully activated Third Eye.
When the pituitary is stimulated, it stimulates the pineal and vice-versa. Hormones such as melatonin then flow and those secretions are a
"fountain" or cascade of chemicals which benefit all levels of being.
Repeated stimulations and flows of endocrine secretions result in an "anointing" such that one becomes a messiah (anointed one).
The 'Ain Soph Ur actually represents the Fountain/Eye ('Ain), the Wisdom (Soph) achieved from developing the Eye and the energy/light/ur necessary
to bring this all about.
Thy cakes shall come from the Utchat
(Eye of Heru or Ra), thy ale shall come
from the Utchat, and the offerings which
shall appear to thee at the word upon
earth [shall proceed] from the Utchat.
- Pert chapter 125:44-46
The "ale" represents the secretions from the pineal after the ajna chakra (Utchat or Eye of Ra) is developed.
The procedure for reaching waking trance states entails deep pranayama breathing. The meditator inhales three times the normal amount of breath. This
breath becomes the fuel for igniting the kundalini and is graphically depicted by the 'Ain's extended belly.
On the exhalation the lower abdomen is pulled in and up. The perineum is contracted. This is the yogic maha bhanda used by male yogis to forestall
orgasm during sacred tantric rites.
The breathing method places pressure on the pneumo-gastric nerve that has a reflex action in the heart and the reptilian brain (the brain's waking
center). This stabilizes the heart and awakens the meditator. The Egyptians called that procedure Min Ab en Aungkh em Maat or "keeping the heart
stable to live truth."
Dhu-l-Qarnain
The Eye of Ra is made up of two energies that have been metaphorized as the goddesses Uatchet and Nekhebet. They are the electronegative and positive
polarities of the kundalini circuit.
In yoga they are the Ida and Pingala nadis that begin in the nostrils, crisscross at the forehead (Brow of Ra), enter into the left and right
hemispheres of the brain and then crisscross down the spine forming the chakras at their points of intersection.
One who has mastered the Uatchet/Nekhebet procedures and established the Utchet is, in esoteric Islam, called "Dhu-l-qarnain" or "possessor of the
two horns."
And they ask thee about Dhu-l-qarnain.
Say: I will recite to you an account of him.
Truly we established him in the land and
granted him means of access to everything.
So he followed a course.
Until, when he reached the setting-place
of the Sun, he found it going down into a
black 'Ain.
