The solution to the problem of the first Quarter-Cycle – that the Knaves Circle should be Outer Outer, but the preferred Tarot sequence is Inner in direction (T.II – [T.]V)* – has occurred to me while scribbling the Booklet: that both are valid.

The Knaves Outer Outer rotation is the natural rotation, eg in the natural animal-child of Humans (as I know only too well); but the Tarot sequence with its Inner direction of rotation placed outside the later Greater Tarots on the Circle, represents the modifying influences, for example of upbringing and education of the child (I have noted much earlier** that the T.II-[T.]V sequence follows the normal sequence of education in the gender and type of teachers).

The influence of the child’s own type*** is, of course, a factor, perhaps represented by the Greater Tarots appropriate to the Degree of that Type; the possibility of Grace is perhaps T.0, the Fool, who is at the beginning and also (as the King’s Circle) at the end. T.I, the Magician, is presumably the counter-principle to the Grace of the Fool, the Outer to the Fool’s Inner (although it is never quite as simple as that….).
