more pip play
OK, this afternoon I find myself considering elements and the 8 pips, Two through Nine. At first, I marked them down in a linear order, but with the zodiac reversed.
water ~ 2, 6
air ~ 3, 7
earth ~ 4, 8
fire ~ 5, 9
Using planets, it works out to be
water ~ Moon, Venus
air ~ Jupiter, Neptune
earth ~ Earth, Saturn
fire ~ Mercury, Mars
That leaves the Sun and Uranus for our Ace and 10. Does that work?

Another way to play sets up the 13 "numbers" around the zodiac chart like Sign Rulers.
King = Earth
Ace = Leo/Sun . . . . . . . . . . Queen = Cancer/Moon
Two = Virgo/Mer . . . . . . . . . Jack = Gemini/?
Three = Libra/Ven . . . . . . . . Ten = Taurus/?
Four = Scorpio/Mar . . . . . . . Nine = Aries/Pluto?
Five = Sagittarius/Jup . . . . . Eight = Pisces/Neptune
Six = Capricorn/Sat . . . . . . . Seven = Aquarius/Uranus
