My current thoughts on Quire 9.
f67r1_f67r2 - Two circles, each with 12 divisions. Are these the 12 months of the year? Are these the 12 signs of the Zodiac?
f67v2_f67v1 - Two more circles. The first has 4 divisions. It seems to have something to do with the sun and the moon. Possibly the four phases of the moon each lunar cycle? Possibly the four season of the year?
The second circle has what looks like a representation of the sun and has 17 divisions. That is a mystery. But only 12 of the divisions have labels; six at the top and six at the bottom. The divisions have different numbers of star-souls and some of them are colored green. Is this some kind of sorting of the pre-born souls according to some kind of characteristic or measurement?
f68r1_f68r2_f68r3 - Three pages in the fold-out. The first two pages don't have large circles but they each have two small circles with faces. I can't tell if these faces are male or female. Also, many of the star-souls have labels. A wild guess here; are the pre-born star-souls being assigned to a mother and father?
The third page is still a mystery to me but there is a sort of curvy line from a group of small stars to the center face. I'm wondering if this is to say something about the person that the star-soul is to become in life.
f68v3_f68v2_f68v1 - Three more circles. I haven't totally convinced myself of this idea but I'm still tossing around the idea of three classes of people; nobles, commoners, and clergy. I'm going with the idea that the people who created the Voynich Manuscript believed that God knew from before the moment of conception, what each person's future station in life would be. That means that the pre-born souls in Heaven would already be classified into the three classes of people; nobles, commoners, and clergy.
To me, the fold-out page f68v3_f68v2_f68v1 seems to show the same three classes as seen on the Rosettes page.
The page on the left seems to have the T-O Map which may represent the nobility.
The center page seems to have a flower which may represent agriculture or farming or the common people.
The page on the right has what I think of as a pinwheel. I think it may represent the clergy.
Going back to f68r1_f68r2_f68r3 , only two pages would been needed for the types of parents because parents are either nobles or commoners. Clergy are not parents.
