Starting Points for circle diagrams

["GC" <glenclaston@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been looking through several books on
astrology, many with circles and volvelles
explaining the months and the zodiac.  In all
these there seems to be something lacking.

These are written in natural language, and each
time the author sees no need to mark a starting
point for circular text.  On the other hand, the
Voynich author always needs to mark the starting
place.  It seems that in natural language, the eye
is able to find the beginning on the text, while
in the Voynich system it is absolutely necessary
to point out where the text begins.  Why would he
need to do this if it were written in language?
