if VMS is about some native folk medicine,
written by a renaissance-time educated man, then it
could be, the astronomical/astrological section is
just some calender, where the "signs" mark times without
much connection to celestial affairs.

My first reason to think, it could be possible was:
in springtime, which is most critical for herbal medecine,
2 VMS-months are splitted in 2 parts - 
this could give us some data about the place, too

You see, suspicion about the spring-fairy 
"The Fatty" Pahkos/Fakhis/Pechos returns easily, hehe...
