Both systems that pair each Sign with a full month are "wrong" no matter how you look at it, from an astronomical and an astrological perspective.
If the shift front one sign to the next was around half the month, it's feasible that for a period of time, one could choose whether to assign them to the first month or the last.
However, by the 15th century, it really looks like the VM marginalia writer would have been going against the grain.
