I don't think many people realize how important it is to define the subject of this book. The subject is, of course, astrology, and although it might seem like there could be others, there aren't.
When people say astrology, they immediately start thinking about human astrology, the most widespread form. But this book isn't about that; it's about what could be called natural astrology. The herbs, about which we know nothing, are not the subject of the Voynich. They have been drawn in relation to the rest of the book, to serve as an example of the power of celestial influences.
That this is an astrological book is not an opinion I hold, but a certainty. I have no doubt whatsoever. Only after reaching this conclusion did I realize that the shapes of the glyphs served the same purpose.
