Thanks!
I would agree that it's possible that the Earth would be depicted variously across the MS, but within a single folio it would be strange. I suggest that the central shape stands for some other notion.
If tides are associated with the Element of Water, then the Night Ruler of Water is Mars, but I'm not sure why the Night Ruler would be chosen in particular. The Day Ruler of Water is Venus, which should be six-pointed in the scheme that I propose.
One intriguing but overcomplicated explanation that I' able to bring forward is that the author tried to depict the star both six-pointed and seven-pointed at the same time. In fact, in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. me and DONJCH had some difficulty in determining whether the star is six- or seven- pointed. Note the alternation of ochre and blue paint - may hint the alternation of day and night!
Yes, it's curious that some faces are upside down. If it's intended to show different "positions" of the Moon in respect of the Earth, then it's not clear why the three other supposed Earths are left uncharted into a T-O map. This takes the low left corner out of the row.
