The Golden Dawn system draws its correspondences from the 12 astrological signs and the 10 planets (in astrology, the word āplanetsā includes the sun and the moon) ā perfectly corresponding to the 22 trumps.Ā The planets and signs were assigned to the Trumps according to a modern view of their astrological attributes, and which trumps most closely reflected those attributes, a system which, on the whole, works quite well. However, the GD insisted that the astrological signs should go in order through the trumps.Ā This is almost certainly one of the reasons that Waite switched Justice and Strength, because Leo comes before Libra in the order. This resulted in one or two attributions that feel forced, such as the assignment of the Chariot to Cancer.Ā In addition, it should be recognized that even in Waiteās time, three of the planets had not yet been discovered.Ā These three trumps were originally assigned to the three primary elements of Air, Water, and Fire, and were subsequently reassigned to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.Ā I have also added Earth, because many modern authors feel that all four elements should be included.
