Description

A circular diagram centered on the page, surmounted by a paragraph with 5.0 lines (unit"P"). The bottom line is interrupted by the diagram.

The diagram is framed by a large ring of 23 unlabeled stars. The ring is divided into two arcs with 11 stars on the left, 12 on the right.

The starry ring is filled with 36 stars of various sizes, all bigger than the border stars, randomly placed. Of them, 24 (perhaps 25) have a label (unit "S").

At the top, within the large circle, is a smaller circle with a human face and moon-like shadow in the middle, and a ring of Voynich text around the circumference (unit "U"). The moon has a human face with neutral expression.

At the bottom, within the large circle, is a smaller circle with a sun in the middle and a ring of Voynich text around the circumference (unit "L"). The sun has a human face, with some hair over the temple.

Comments

The two medallions presumably represent the Sun and Moon. Compare this diagram with the previous one (f68r1), which is visible at the left when the foldout is open.
