Pisces (Folio 70v) and the New Year on the 1st of March in the Republic of Venice
#11
During the early 15th century, the seasons were already out of track with the Julian calendar by nearly 10 days.

Therefore, most of Pisces was observed mainly in February in accordance with the Julian calendar when tracking the sun's apparent movement through the constellation.

The association of Pisces with March was made by someone after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1582 which resulted in skipping 10 days and subsequently observing most of Pisces in March.
