Hello DavidJackson, since you live in the south of Spain, I'm sure you don't lack a sense of humor. Your interpretation of this diagram of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is really funny.

The bald person could be a serf or an unlettered person; the hat symbolises a learned person; then we could have something like the legal profession (funny hairstyle!) and above some sort of Boss (Judge? Aristocracy?)
The reality is more prosaic. As Searcher said in his post, that diagram, like the rest, is connected by tubes to the sun and the moon in the central part of the page. I already said in my previous post that it is about astrological aspects. In that particular one, the opposition and the conjunction of the planets are represented (The sun and the moon were considered planets in the Middle Ages).
The little head with the pointy hat (the learned person) is simply the Earth, which casts its shadow on the moon in that way in eclipses when it is in opposition to the sun.
