Would not a ConLang or a notation style along the lines of Hungarian notation fit nicely here ?
Consider, if one were describing only astronomical stuff then theres only a limited number of categories, then numbers and a little grammar (positional maybe), that is necessary.
Theres no need for all the stuff like 'grammatical distinctions of case, voice, tense, and mood'. Nouns, adjectives, verbs, you can chuck most of that stuff out as well.
Though with the limited set of glyphs some re-use is going to have to happen,
perhaps using a postional system as an indicator (of category,number,etc) may resolve that issue.
Hastily contrived example.

Code:
Numbers:
[0-9] decimal digits using 10 symbols
[M,C,L,X,V,I] Roman numerals using 6 symbols
Categories:
12 constellations
360 degrees (latitude, longitude, inclination, declination, ascending, descending)
7 planets
4 seasons
2 equinoxes
2 solstices
365(?) days
12-13 months ,lunar month
27-31 days month,Lunar month
phases of the moon 2,4,8-30
Grammar:
end_number -signifies the end of a number
Example:
qotcheaiin.dchain.cthain.daiin.daiin.cthain.qotaiin
constellation- -taurus - ascending- -number- -end_number (Note: constellation named not numbered because: hastily contrived )
{ qo- -t- -ch- -eaii- -n }
planet- -ascending- -number- -end_number (Note: here planet has no following number thus meaning any planet :rolleyes: )
{ d- -ch- -ai- -n }
month- -number- -end_number
{ cth- -ai- -n }
planet- -number- -end_number
{ d- -ai- -n }
lunar_phase - -number- -end_number
{ qot- -aii- -n}
