Well fuck, i just checked Wikipedia of all places and found the answer. Don't know why I didn't see this the last time I was wondering about this.

In Hinduism, the symbol with arms pointing clockwise (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck, while the counterclockwise symbol (卍) is called sauvastika, symbolizing night or tantric aspects of Kali.
卐 = sun = Yang
卍 = night = Yin
