Thank you! If this is a cross/nail marks, as suggested in the comments in the blog, and it's positioned on a year wheel, the first obvious position is the Easter date, I think. First Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, if I understand correctly. If the true equinox of the XV century was used (I think it would be ~March 12), then the Easter could be up to April 14th (27 + 6 days, the worst case scenario of equinox happening immediately after the full moon and then the next full moon landing on Monday). If the calendar equinox of March 21 was used, mid April is even more likely.
Given that the topic of the manuscript is ecclesiastic computations, this symbol meaning the Easter is very plausible.
(edit: Just to be clear, I'm not referring to the Voynich manuscript here. I have no idea wrt the meaning of this symbol in VMS.)
