Zodiac Imagery: Manuscript Collection/Discussion

There are a number of calendar + zodiac combinations.

Some years back @-JKP- had an extensive zodiac collection in a blog.

Your chart has green-lighted Gemini as being 'twins' on the model of Castor and Pollux, but this is in contrast with the VMs Gemini medallion. Gemini is an example which presents with two different representations. It is either the twins or it is the 'hieros gamos', - the sacred marriage, if you will, the pairing of complementary opposites. The VMs illustration is a heterosexual couple and well clothed - compared to not infrequently when they were depicted as nudes.

VMs Gemini presents the same sort of two-factor selectivity found in VMs Sagittarius. VMs Gemini is heterosexual and clothed; VMs Sagittarius is human with a crossbow.

Though not relevant to the VMs, Capricorn also has different representations. It's either half goat and half fish, or it's just an ibex. Here again both are valid alternatives with different origins.
