I wish all Voynich folios were as easy as this one!

And indeed, the diagrams have to do with the positions that the sun and the moon adopt between them. They are the planetary aspects, as anyone who knows anything about astrology well knows.
In this table from a Byzantine manuscript we see in a central column the planetary aspects in the form of pictograms:

Except for the pictogram above that represents the sun, the others are the positions that it adapts with the moon: the opposition, the trine, the square and the sextile. It is the same thing that we see with the little heads in the f67v.
At the time of the Voynich, these pictograms did not yet exist, just as those of the zodiacal signs did not exist. They begin to be seen in the second half of the fifteenth century
