Greek mythology hasn't had that big of a role in RWBY. Mostly just being used for names or allusions (like other mythologies in the show). Quite simply, I cannot see such a great and critical plot point being so heavily influenced by a source that has only been used conparatively minorly in other areas of the show.

1. I believe Silver being used in such a way predates the Greeks even. Although I cannot gurantee that.

2. I'm familiar with the video but I won't watch it again right now.

Even if such a power were fleshed out I feel it would still be criticised. Jaune having above average aura and just coincedentally also having a SEW-esque power of his own in addition to Ruby would just seem... I dunno, like poor writing perhaps. There are other ways Jaune can have an impact other than having a new superpower. Maybe he holds off Salem with his semblance which is an incredibly strong shield or something, I dunno.

I think it is just symbolic. Either of Summer probably or Remnant itself. Showing that as time passes humans grow more and more broken apart from each other. Just for them join back together over time as well. Just as the Silver eyes represent the opposite to Grimm, so does the Moon represent the opposite to Salem, the passing of time which shatters and repairs all...

Nah I'm just talking out of my ass. But still, I don't think the Moon forshadows Ruby's death or is directly affected by the events on Remnant.
