What do the dots mean in the yin and yang symbol?

Answer:

The Yin and Yang themselves symbolize balance between all things; light and dark, male and female, life and death. The dots (note that the Yin's dot is the color of Yang, and vice versa) symbolize that each contains the other within itself. Like male and female, each contains aspects of the other, and neither is truly complete without that balancing energy.
