The great value of Tratado de Astrología is that it's rigorously contemporary of the VMS. It's the same vision of the world and a similar imagery. There are tiles in both to represent the stars because the eighth sphere is the roof of the world and the stars are like glued to it.
The Tratado de Astrología has helped me to interpret the script. In the circular diagrams there is a line from top to bottom: the eclipse line. We call it now the syzigy line, when Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned.
I think the gallows glyphs stand for the position of the Sun at its maximum height and in relation to the lunar nodes, the caput and cauda draconis.
EVA-t is the Sun high up away from the lunar node; and EVA-k is the same but at night, with the Sun 180º under the horizon. EVA-p is the Sun in conjuction with the lunar node; and EVA-f, the same with the opposite node.
This would explain the importance of the gallows at the beginning of the paragraphs and in the first line as a starting point for the star or stars in its journey through the sphere.
