Hi David!
Maybe, you are right as for the bundles of the light, but, I think, the bundles theyself are not bundles, but watery or moist dispersion like in fonts, fountains, so the direction in this case is from the central rosette. I tried to identify some patterns, you can find it You are not allowed to view links.

three slashes pattern, fish bone pattern and
three stripe pattern are absent in my interpretation. I can't find clear explanation for them for now, but I think, it is very important for understanding the whole scheme.
Maybe, the next text will be off-top in this thread, it doesn't concern directions of labels, but rather relates to the directions of flows and the whole reason of it.
The fragment from my blogpost concerning the Rosettes page:
"In general, I think it represents a circulation which is cosmic and watery in the same time and can be explained as a depiction of the circulation of the Water of Life. Generally, it may reflect the high level (celestial) and the low level (earthly) of this process. I suppose that the central and main «rosette» is the Moon itself as it is a receptacle and transporter of the Dew (Latin Ros). According to the interpretation of the Voynich imagery at the beginning of this article, it contains of vapors, drops of the moisture and light. I can only suppose what the six «towers» may mean, including the six planets, influences and virtues of which are assembled and reflected in the Moon, six gates of heaven and six – the number of the Great Work. Thirteen “trefoils” of the “starry wrap” may mean thirteen-moon year. The rest rosettes, possibly, show the motional processes, their terms, states and qualities of the water, including tides, distillation, boiling, evaporation, condensation, and so on. The role of the Sun here is understandable - it gives light (fire) which the Moon reflects to the Earth.
Every corner of this “chart” is a separate riddle. The left low corner, as was mentioned earlier, contains the circle with the sign which in alchemy means Aqua Vita, but what is the more fascinating is the inscription opposite to it from the above.

I read the word in the left top corner as “Rasiel”. Judging more objectively, I’d say that the clearest part of the word is likely “Ras”, the rest is quite questionable in such a state. You can see it on my edited image.
Before all this I tried to find the word You are not allowed to view links.

I didn’t take it into account, as I couldn’t find it in manuscripts or books of XV-XVI ages, the earliest mention and transliteration into Latin I found was, it seems, in the XVII c. book. I really can’t imagine whether it is possible that someone knew this word and its meaning and used its Latin transliteration in XV century. First that I thought: “So what the letters “AR” must then mean?” Well, I was really surprised by that fact that the well-known Amrita is often called Amrita Rasa, Amrit Ras, Soma Ras, et cetera.
I want to know more about this as I’m confused. The word Ras and Amrit Ras fit the lunar theory exactly. Can it really be a coincidence?
Finally, I’ve reached the right low corner of the “Rosettes” page. It contains the obscure letter “M” which can be interpreted in different ways, but now I think about the word Moon or Mone, Mane, Maan, Mond, or Mondbuch, after all."
If that sign in the left low corner really means the alchemical sign for Aqua Vitae, then the accepted direction of the map is correct, therefore the three-section orb has the divided in two top semicircle.
