A bit of colour might help explain. Although it might mess with some people's eyesight.
For the sake of ease and convenience only the four affected cards are shown.
Colour key: In order. Out of order.
Hebrew alphabet order:
XVII - Heh - Aquarius
XI - Teth - Leo
VIII - Lamed - Libra
IV - Tzaddi - Aries
Tarot numeral order:
IV - Tzaddi - Aries
VIII - Lamed - Libra
XI - Teth - Leo
XVII - Heh - Aquarius
In the first sequence all of the Hebrew letters are in order. All of the Tarot numerals are out of order. And the zodiac signs are split. Leo and Libra are fine, but Aries and Aquarius are counterchanged.
The second sequence is the exact opposite. All the Tarot cards are in order. All of the Hebrew letters are out of order. Once again the zodiac is split. This time Aries and Aquarius are fine. But Leo and Libra are counterchanged.
The questions is: Does this dual arrangement represent the balance and symmetry that Aleister intended?
