Hermes, I believe that a key piece to understand the VM script as an astronomical-astrological notation system is the so-called clock on the Rosettes page.

It is actually a Volvelle with the sun and moon in the trine aspect, one of the main aspects in astrology. We see the sun and we see the moon twice because it is represented at 125º from the sun in each of the hemispheres of the sphere. 

But something very important are all those small lines circumscribed on the sphere. Each of the lines is worth 15º, which is a kardaga, a concept widely used in medieval astronomy. And 15º is equal to one hour. Therefore we see that there are 24 lines that represent 24 hours of the day. And 15º x 24 equals 360º of the sphere.

The lines are grouped three by three in the places on the sphere where the most important astrological aspects are formed: the sextile, the square, the trine and the opposition. 

I believe that those small lines (one, two or all three) are the ones we see in the script combined with the other glyphs
