I believe that same moon/sun symbolism was also on the door of the crypt in which Roger was originally entombed. Here it takes new meaning, as it could possibly represent Roger's demise and rebirth, however, at this point it's true meaning is too nebulous IMO to speculate with any real chance at accuracy.

The sky pattern reminds me of the "man with the screaming brain" cover. As much as I love this cover ad it's mistycism- It pains my heart so see Roger in such a well... Bad shape.

Ditto. On both counts.
I've said it before, but this book is just getting SO good!
