I’ve never seen angels or demons but if you look at a painting of the fifteenth century it seems that the world is full of them. Painters also represented Venus and the other planets as human figures. Therefore, I would not be surprised to see the stars represented as human figures, as women. Is what I see in the Zodiac of the VM. And those women-stars seem the same as in the so-called biological section.
For me this little reasoning is the first step to understand the VM. If these naked and pregnant ladies are stars, they cannot represent anything other than their descent to Earth to fertilize it. They come down from the sky through tubes, which corresponds to the cosmological theory of closed crystalline spheres of the time.
As I think the illustrations and the script of the VM form a unity of meaning, the script cannot be anything other than a system to assign stars to plants. The author was not interested in drawing real plants but in creating that system of relationships.
