It is good to have someone on the list who is versed in astrological 
symbolism.

I have been off-list and have not read the astrology posts. I did see 
some discussion of quadruped's legs in a diagram. The hoof corresponds 
to our toenail. Moving upwards, the joints correspond to ours. Moving up 
the scale of evolution, all extremities acquire hands. The artist was 
not too faithful with the joints of the nymphs either.

I made some diagrams within several circles. I do not know whether 
triangles, pentagrams, etc. mean anything in astrology or not and, in 
any case, assume the circles were drawn from stock templates.

The diagram from the Codex Taurinensis (old) from René Zandbergen's site 
can contain a pentagram but so can the VMS Leo. Of two other non-vms 
astrological diagrams on René Zandbergen's site, Leo can be diagrammed 
with a triangle (not a pentagram as for the VMS Leo). I found no obvious 
figure for Scorpius. With a little fudging, eleven and thirteen point 
stars circumscribe inner circles about the fish and archer 
(crossbowman). I am guessing that has no meaning in astrology. Triangle 
for f57v.
