Hi Koen,
I think it is worth mentioning that only one of the Voynich diagrams includes dots, the others have larger circles with faces.

Of course, one can speculate that the faces represent stars, but the personification of individual stars (planets aside) is not so common. I think that this kind of personification possibly happened in the early alchemical work Gratheus filius Philosophi mentioned You are not allowed to view links.
