Now, whenever the Voynich zodiac is being discussed, it seems to be assumed that it is encoding calendar information, and indeed the names of the months of the year written alongside the signs of the zodiac reinforce that concept.
...
The names of the months are in a different color ink and what strongly appears to be a different hand, not only different handwriting from the VMS main text but from the other marginalia (different stroke order, different cadence, different spacing, different writing style, and different language from the other marginalia).
If it is another hand, it could have been added by anyone and possibly some time later (e.g., by someone trying to decipher the VMS, for example). If so, it in no way reinforces the intention of the original illustrator.
