No, I haven't assumed that at all.
Pretty much everything done in the medieval era was based on earlier works. Anything encyclopedic in nature is at least partly based on earlier works, so I have never discounted the probability that earlier works were consulted.
But even so, if you look at the maps on my blog, you would see that 1) courtly-love versions of Gemini, 2) lizard-style Scorpius, and 3) crossbowman Sagittarius ONLY occurred during a very limited time of history.
