There can also be religious associations with the Book of Revelations and the images of standing on the crescent moon or being clothed in sun. And as I mentioned in a post, the marginal Psalters also feature the sun, associated with circular diagrams depicting the day and night sky.
Sun and moon imagery can also be found in a wide range of different kinds of medieval manuscripts, not least in philosophical, astronomical and alchemical ones, but even in works such as the Balneis:

Morgan MS G.74 fol. 27r
(ETA: this parallel between the Voynich diagrams and the sun and moon of the "Balneo Imperatoris Quod Sol et Luna Dicitur" is discussed in Fallacara & Occinegro's Voynich Manuscript Castel del Monte publication, p 120.)
