This means that Capricorn and Aquarius are missing, which would correspond to the months of January and February....

The first known Roman calendar had ten months of thirty or thirty-one days, and a variable length unnamed winter period. The months were Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Iunius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December. They’re named after Mars, Aphrodite, Maia and Juno, followed by numbered months, five to ten.
So the names and the numbers matched. September was actually the seventh month, and December was the tenth month of the year, unlike today.
Later the unnamed winter period was split into the months Januarius, Februarius and occasionally a thirteenth intercalary (leap) month to align the calendar with the solar year.

March was therefore the beginning of the year (the first sign of the zodiac in the VMS).
