*He also wanted the Inner Circle to continue round in the same rotational direction via a 'jump' (Ganymede the Cup-bearer / Water[-]carrier flown by the Eagle) from R~ to S~: because of his unease at reversing the Hindu Swastika as the Nazis had done (I had the same problem a long time ago).

One answer is that the Nazi swastika may be the Outer Circle, in which case it should** be reversed and {its} rotational direction {should be} changed. To continue clockwise (this rotation is arbitrary){,} he wanted to change the names and relationships of the Principles to fit the Circles.*** I allowed that this could be done but maintained that it would then be a different system: I had started with the Circles and the Principles, and added the Tarots later, not the other way round.****

*[[SX] – see two last previous entries.]

**{[underlining added later]}

***{e.g. Ordination became Ambition, Harmony became Compassion.}

****{He also saw TVIII Justice as the first check-point, and so was unhappy with the Principle 'Outer Action' there. I have often been uncertain with 'Outer Action', but for another reason. However, it was half of one of the first two polarities, if I recall correctly.}
