You want to know what would change my mind? Someone showing me an explanation that is a better fit.
If you want to convince me that the star-like images are the stars up in the night sky, you are going to have to give me something more than the claim that the seven little stars in a group on f68r3 represent The Pleiades. What about all the other stars on f68r3? What about all the other stars on all the other pages? What are they? Out of this entire manuscript that is supposed to be about astronomy/astrology, only one group of stars has been "identified". One.

Well, most, if not all, the plants have not been identified that doesn't mean the plants represent souls or anything else other than plants.
Which page shows an image with a plant entering the body of a sleeping woman?
Which page shows a plant being influenced by the Sun or Moon? I see the "star" in a box on f67v2 as a pre-Ensouled soul being influenced by the Sun and Moon.

I have no idea why there are two Suns and two Moons. I don't know anything about the Moon Zodiac. I got this from Google Gemini:
Elements:
- The zodiac signs are further categorized into four elements: fire, earth, air, and water.
- These elements represent fundamental qualities and are believed to influence a person's personality traits.
Moon's Influence:
- The Moon's position in the sky at your birth time determines your Moon sign.
- Unlike the Sun sign, which reflects outward personality, the Moon sign is associated with your inner world - emotions, intuition, and subconscious needs.

Previously I said that I thought the two Suns on the Rosettes page meant that the page was to be rotated and viewed from different positions. Maybe that is the meaning of the two Suns and two Moons on f67v2 also -- rotate the page.
The text is written in all four page positions and there is a big circle. That makes me think the intention was for the page to be rotated. That may mean it represents some kind of a cycle. Maybe this cycle is the year and the circles-with-faces are full moons? If so, why are there 15 of them?
The year is about 365.25 days. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days long.
365.25 ÷ 29.5 = 12.38
If we start with the page in the standard position and look at the upper-left corner we have three of the circles-with-faces. That makes sense if each corner of the page is one season of the year and each circle-with-face is a full moon. Generally there are three full moons per astronomical season.
If f67v2 is rotated 90° clockwise, that puts the green, red, and blue part in the upper-left corner. The green, red, and blue kind of looks like a T-and-O Map. I have no idea if that means anything.
Or, maybe the cycle isn't the year and I'm just not seeing what it is.
