Zodiac symbols seems more reasonable to me than calendar.
There are 10 zodiac symbols, in sequence, easily recognized and consistent with styles for the time. Even the long necks are not especially unusual.
Is there anything that we can definitely associate with a calendar? Maybe, if it's an old calendar where they divided the months equally into 30 divisions, but as I mentioned upthread, that could just as easily be a zodiac reference of 30 degrees, so we can't say for certain there's any reference to days.
In my view, the marginalia is irrelevant. I think someone was trying to decipher the VMS (as also appears to have happened on the first page), and wrote in month names associated with the zodiac signs, perhaps in hopes of finding those words in the mysterious text. I doubt that they have anything to do the actual intention of the pages.
I see no clear evidence of a calendar. The images surrounding the centers are certainly not month's labors (except of the gestational kind). Calendars are to keep track of time. If these symbols are horoscopic rather than time-keeping, then pinpointing time might matter, but keeping track of it is not its central purpose.
