Meanings of elements

OPPOSITE the MOON
…or: OPPOSITE SIDE, FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONNECT with MEAT

Depicting the first day of the lunar month, a NEW MOON, when the Sun is directly「opposite the Moon」and the blacked-out Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, approximately a CONJUNCTION, the START OF A NEW CYCLE. When the OPPOSITE SIDE of the Moon is facing the Sun. That is, the side of the Moon that is never viewed from the surface of the Earth, or the proverbial「dark side of the Moon」is illuminated.
　And, while the band probably knew this all along,「Dark side of the Moon」is a misnomer: the far side of the Moon is not any darker than the side seen from Earth. In fact, it is brightly illuminated during the new moon phase depicted by this glyph, although never naturally seen from Earth due to the Moon's center of gravity not being located in its geographical center.
　「Opposite meat」with reference to the no-longer-integrated foot on the other leg as the START OF A NEW CYCLE, the OPPOSITE SIDE, or a CONJUNCTION created by joining and connecting both feet together while placing one's member in between, perhaps the STARTING POSITION, the BEGINNING POSE.
　Both NORTH as 北 and this glyph depict people facing in opposite directions and not in the same direction: 北 as back-to back, and 朔 as face-to-face, and both also depict being in the cold, and being a loser in some respect.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
