I missed this question Big%20smile... now I go.
 
(1) Option one:
Perhaps you can despict the myth of the Rabbit of the Moon. That myth says an evil rabbit was punished of his crimes and was sent to the moon, where he left its mark that you can see at night. Now, the moon is a good that sacrificed into the fire to be reborn as the satellite.
 
  • Metztli (also Metztli, Tecuciztecatl, Tecciztecatl)- lowly god of worms who failed to sacrifice himself to become the sun, and became the moon instead, his face darkened by a rabbit.

    (2) Could it be Venus?
  • Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli - destructive god of the morning star (venus), dawn, and of the east. One of the skybearers
    •  
    Or perhaps
     
    (3) The sun god associated with the Eagle.
     
    Tonatiuh - a sun god and heavenly warrior, associated with eagles and with the Maya

    (4) Perhaps something about the skybearers, the Gods of the Cardinal points.
