One interpretation I was working on was day/night (sun/moon) (red/blue) = sunrise/sunset with the two larger stars in each segment possibly representing Venus as morning star or evening star.
This does not work though as Venus disappears behind the sun for months at a time. You could possibly maybe bring in Mercury as the 7 pointed stars that occur a couple of times at around the 7 o'clock position (Mercury indeed is only visible briefly when farthest from the sun).
So just as the number of stars seems to put Cancer and the Zodiac out of the question, so the Venus interpretation is also difficult.
