I suppose one should not be altogether surprised that Knaves* ['circle'] is a bit of a pig's breakfast. This does have the great merit of preserving the characters** of R~ (Avenger of God against the World of Lights / of the Luminaries (i.e. those pertaining to light) and S~ (Avenger of / Set over the Spirits who sin in the Spirit). Each now has an earlier 'turning' function at the beginning and end of Knaves Circle proper.

To some extent (although this may not be unique to it) this pattern does fit the first or 'Knaves' Quarter of life, which may loosely be characterised as Youth – and is probably (or may be) generally longer than I have previously suggested*** (and stretches back to birth, unlike my fictions):

Fool	(0	Spirit)
Magician	I	Incarnation		(Birth)
	----
High Priestess	II	Infancy		(Mother/nanny etc.)	Intuition
Empress	III	Primary education		(Generally female teachers)	Innovation
Emperor	IV	Secondary education	(Technical)	(Generally male teachers)	Implementation
High Priest	V	Higher education	(Academic)		Intellection
	----
Lover	VI			Crisis: of occupation, sexual pairing, etc.
Chariot	VII	Employment		Career
