Wald Amberstone addressed Tarot & Astrology STRICTLY from a
Kabbalistic POV using the GRA TREE FROM THE SEFER YETZIRAH. When
discussing that tree the paths had a different order for the Majors
than we use w/the RWS deck usually. Also DAA`TH is critical...
Diagonals = 12 signs in order
From Sephiroth See Attributions
R hand pillar = 'the jewish niagra falls'
Horizontal paths
Tree has an 'i/thou' r/l relationship, my r is your l etc
Hope this is useful & will share what is possible w/you if you like. Kabbalistic tarot astrology is all about time & timing... I like it much more than 'standard' astrology as we have come to know it as the 'underpinnings' are clear from following the Hebrew alphabet's mother letters, simples & doubles plus the tree.
