By placing the date outside the creation of the vms we have more range to search for matches of the zodiac names.

@Jorge_Stolfi Well, what about divinations where the chart represents a Day of the Week or a Day of the month with the sections representing hours? not sure how to correlate it with the labels. Seems a mismatch but had to mention it (could be a deadend. I can't read astrological charts and i'm not sure if it is already being mentioned and discarded.)

I wonder if the month names or day names or zodiac names titles in voynichese should have been besides a star. Most of zodiac figures really skip the stars and even the ones who had them have no titles at all. A star not having titles could be very interesting because they may be curiously where the names should have been in voynichese -and added later, but the main question is: why only the zodiac names?
If there were other unnamed stars would have been named too?
Also, it looks like each chart gradually lowers the quality for some reason as if wanted to shorten the time invested...
The star that is held by the upper fish is the only one with a title i wonder why.
I have no clue. Maybe the patron of the scribe changed the deadline or stopped the funding and then, he/she added later the months of the names... Is a funny idea to think about it.
----------
By the way, the virgo drawing is interesting too.
----------
If there are no "French" words in the marginalia that dialect will be tied only to the zodiac names...
