The next folio after Pisces shows 10 + 5 = 15 naked nymphs (a decan and a half) in Aries, 9 + 15 => March 24th.
The next day is March 25th and Venice celebrates it as the founding day of the city, with the consecration of the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto.
Perhaps this could explain why all 15 nymphs (a decan and a half) in the subsequent second Aries folio are well dressed and the stars they hold are bigger and brighter.
