That there was a folio with the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius that was cut is an impossible conjecture to prove. But admitting that it was so, that is not the relevant thing about the Voynich zodiacal calendar. The relevant thing is that it begins in Pisces, something totally unusual, and that it duplicates the signs of Aries and Taurus.
There must be some explanation for this, an explanation that is consistent with a book where almost half the pages are flowering plants. The simplest thing is to think that it was done that way because in March (Pisces) is when the plants begin to flower. And if Aries and Taurus doubled, it is because in the signs of spring, flowering is at its peak.
