As we came to the issue about the VMs stars and their meaning in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., so it seems it will be better to continue the discussion in this thread.
In particular, I'd like to consider the meaning of stars exactly inside of diagrams, including diagrams of the "cosmological" section (Quire 9).
First of all, I compared divided in sections circular diagrams of f67v, f68v3 and a few diagrams of the Rosettes.
Although they have some differences, their general resemblance is obvious.
I want to note that 7 of 9 Rosettes diagrams contain the depiction of stars.

In general, I admit that the Rosettes page may depict stars as decorations of some structures. But why they so much resemble with diagrams of the "cosmological" section? Is it a coincidence? How can it be explained?

Quote:I'm not certain the "stars" in the upper right rosette are the same [as ones in the central rosette].I read VViews's blog post and knew JKP's opinion, but something confuses me here. What is the difference? They have the same shape, the only difference I can observe is different areas with different edges that tthe stars occupy. And besides, is it possible the map to contain the same shape, symbol or pattern for two or more meanings? Speaking about me, I never saw such maps.
At first I thought they might represent foliage, but VViews wrote a good blog that suggests they might be cartographic symbols.
