One of the interesting things about the Voynich diagrams relating to winds and stars is that they do not show any clear correlation to the usual "zodiac-planets-cardinal winds" mindset of the Latin European texts. The so-called "zodiac" doesn't represent the zodiac creatures; there is no sign of the planets' inclusion apart from sun and moon - which seems to mean that astrology may not be a subject of the month-roundels as is usually presumed - and the winds on f.67v-1 are not the cardinal winds.

When we say 'a zodiac', the most 'standard' thing that comes to mind is twelve of the thirteen constellations of the ecliptic presented as signs in a circle, with an astrological intention.
When we see for example a planisphere or a celestial globe, we can say it contains 'the constellations of the Zodiac', but not 'a Zodiac'. It shows the constellations in their real position on the ecliptic, without any astrological intent.
