Some interesting coincidences with the Tarot (not altogether welcome, as I thought I had left the Tarot behind me), spring from the strict Circle patterns:

Angels	Inner	Circle	Outer	Circle		Others	(Notes)
Seraphim	XXI	World	VI	Lover	0	Fool	cf. also Constellation Serpens.
Cherubim	XX	Judgement*	VII	Chariot	V	High Priest	* Child ?rising.
/Thrones	XIX	Sun \	VIII	Justice			cf. Throne of Justice?
{Dominions	XVIII	Moon}**	IX	Hermit	IV	Emperor	** Two triplets?
\Principalities	XVII	Star /	X	Wheel of Fortune	I	Magician
Powers	XVI	Tower***	XI	Fortitude	III	Empress	*** The lightning stroke.
Virtues	XV	Devil	XII	Hanged Man
Archangels	XIV	Temperance****	XIII	Death	II	High Priestess#	****Angelic figure. #(-- suggestion of wings?)
