The Law is for All
Pageant of Triumph as each Star, free from Confusion,
sweepeth free in its right Orbit; all Heaven acclaimeth thee as
thou goest, transcendental in Joy and in Splendour; and thy
Light is as a Beacon to them that Wander afar, strayed in the
Night. Amount
The “old comment” covers the rest of this verse sufficiently for
the present purpose.2
I see no harm in revealing the mystery of tzaddi to “the wise”;
others will hardly understand my explanations.
Tzaddi [H] is the letter of “The Emperor,” the Trump IV, and
he [H] is “The Star,” the Trump XVII. Aquarius and Aries are
therefore counterchanged, revolving on the pivot of Pisces, just as,
in the Trumps VIII and XI, Leo and Libra do about Virgo. This
last revelation makes our Tarot attributions sublimely, perfectly,
flawlessly symmetrical.3
The fact of its so doing is a most convincing proof of the
superhuman Wisdom of the author of this Book to those who
have laboured for years, in vain, to elucidate the problems of the
Tarot.

2 [The “Old Comment” was omitted in this abridgement. The relevant
passage, from Equinox 1(7) (1912), p. 393, is “The fools (not here
implying X fools, for 111:57 says ‘all fools despise’) may mistake. This
love, then, should be the serpent love, the awakening of the kundalini.
The further mystery is of S and unsuited to the grade in which this
comment is written.”]

in his diagram “The Double Loop in the Zodiac” (Hebrew added):
