  I mentioned this recently, but I think it's very significant that the female zodiac figures are marching. It's a powerful image of movement, a design intentionally created by the author. The all walk in the same direction, clockwise, from East to West, which is where the stars set.
  
    All the figures have a similar appearance. Just as in their direction of movement, there is a uniformity in their physical appearance; they are all nude, some with prominent bellies as a sign of the fertility they bring to Earth.

  In the northern hemisphere the stars rotate anticlockwise.

  Antonio and nablator in this respect Antonio maybe correct but in others nablator is correct.  Yet I feel the MS-408 like Antonio suggests with the female nudes is what's going on.

  I don't think they knew anything about the Earth's rotation in the Middle Ages. When I look south, I see the sun and all the stars moving from left to right, from East to West, and that is why we see the female figures of the Voynich zodiac marching in that direction.
     
  The hands of the clock move precisely this way, and not the other way around, because the clock was invented in the northern hemisphere following the path of the sun.

  You are again ignoring the facts that 1) figures marching in a full circle are NOT going from the left to the right any more than from the right to the left, and 2) stars doing a full circle are only visible toward the North.

  If I look north from Madrid towards the North Star, I do indeed see circumpolar stars moving counterclockwise. But from my latitude (40º N), if I look south, following the ecliptic, I see only an arc of the celestial sphere and I see the stars moving clockwise, from east to west. The stars of the zodiac are not circumpolar. They rise and set on my horizon.
  
     The female figures in the Voynich Manuscript march clockwise and carry a star to their right. From whatever angle you view the circle, they always move clockwise. And this makes sense, because if the codex was created around the Alps, say between 45° and 50° latitude, the authors, when looking at the zodiacal stars, saw them moving in this direction: from East to West.

  Linda, it's amazing how you manage to bring the figures to life. The result is fascinating. I suppose you included the images to show that not all the female figures are marching in the same direction. But there's really no contradiction because the figures coming out of the tubes aren't marching. What reveals an intention is the fact that in all the signs where the figures are standing and marching they always do so in the same direction, mimicking the movement of the celestial sphere.
  
     Only in Pisces do we see the female figures emerging from the tubes, and not all of them, but only those in the inner circle, because those in the outer circle are inside the tubes. I don't think this is accidental, but rather intentional, just as the zodiac begins with Pisces in March, when nature begins to be reborn.
  
      Since the female figures are a representation of the stars, of astral influence, in the minds of the authors there is a temporal sequence in the way that influence develops, that is, in the way the figures emerge from the tubes. In quire 13, as a continuation of the zodiac, we see the figures completely outside the tubes, traveling through the conduits of the universe and heading towards Earth. What the authors want to show with this iconography is the journey of the stars to fertilize the Earth and make plants grow.
