The iconological identification of female figures is one of the keys to understanding the VM. Anything is possible but the field of probability is much smaller.
The internal evidence of the book and the few contemporary testimonies that we can consider parallels point to identifying these female figures as the stars of the Zodiac. I have shown before the image of the codex with the planets holding stars in their hands. I could also add the books of King Alfonso X the wise, with allegorical figures of stars in the degrees of zodiacal circles.
Modestly, if we were to give probabilities of all the theories that populate out there about the meaning of these female figures, I think that mine is the one that has by far the greatest probability of being true.
