You will find that same position in the lunar circle in the top also reads chio
Okay, I understand better where you are coming from. In the other circle, the text becomes weird at the same angle. Maybe the scribe did not find it necessary to rotate the page for this (possible to reach with right hand writing) and therefore produced slanted / deformed glyphs.
..
There are many examples on the zodiac folders that the scribes did not like rotating the folio any more than necessary, and the glyphs become increasingly slanted. You can see the progression and also where they turned it and the letters straighten out again. I noticed it over and over when I was creating the transcript.
It made me wonder what they were using as a writing surface. It seems like either they were concentrating so hard that turning the folio was a distraction OR it was on some surface with things impeding the rotation (a cramped space).
