The potential problem is that there are several differences between the sequences in the 'apparent velocity'-based order of the planets and the Thema Mundi-based order of Macrobius.
Both systems place the Moon in Cancer.
In Macrobius, the Sun is in Leo. In velocity-based order, the second planet is Mercury.
In Macrobius, Mercury is in Virgo. In the velocity system, Venus is third.
In Macrobius, Venus is in Libra. In the velocity-based order, the Sun is in fourth place.
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn follow in both systems to make a sequence of seven.
Seven in a row can be changed to 4-1-1-1 by moving Mars and Saturn as in the example of 1494 Leipzig.
What is the sequence of the four inner planets used in the VMs diagram?
Is there any 'linguistic' evidence to support one interpretation of these labels over the other?
