For the nude ladies I prefer the name of astral spirits, as Panofsky called them. They are a metaphor of eternal time. The key is the spindles that carry four of them.
I read on the Koen website the Darren Worley's comment about the spindle used a metaphor for the rotation of the heavens in Plato's Myth of Er.
In Spanish we use the word spindle to talk about time zones.
The nude female form I think is by association with the personification of Venus or the Moon, which usually appear nudes with the same fertility symbolism. For me the nude ladies are the fixed stars
