What is unique or rare about the VM Zodiac signs?

[-JKP-]

The VMS uses the lizardy style of Scorpius, rather than a Scorpion. There is a subset of zodiac figure styles that includes these reptilian-style Scorpio images.

There is also a group (mostly English) with dragon Scorpius, and another group (mostly south-central German and eastern France) that has turtle scorpion, which is probably Tarasque-inspired.


I have almost 700 medieval zodiac series. Most of them are complete, so the collection includes almost 8000 images.

Here are some of my blogs on the VMS zodiac symbols:
