The relationship between virtues, vices etc.* is not as clear as their relationship with the Archetypes. Also, not all obvious vices seem to be clearly represented. This can be seen by examining the opposites of the Virtues:

Truth	-	Lies
Temperance	-	Self-indulgence
Charity	-	Selfishness
Fortitude	-	Fearfulness
Hope	-	?
Justice	-	Injustice
Faith	-	Lack of faith!
Prudence	-	Wilfulness?

– and of the Vices:

Innocence	-	Deviousness?
Sloth	-	Energy?
Envy	-
Gluttony	-
Anger	-	Peace
Lechery	-
Avarice	-
Pride	-	Humility

The problem (and I think I have touched upon this before) is: what is meant by opposites? I am not sure that the concept is sufficiently precise to be useful here. What is more important is that the Virtues, Vices etc. should in their stations fit into the relationships, resonances and dynamics of the Circles. This is not at all easy to work out.
