Does anybody know why the Qabalistic correspondences of the planets are
1. Pluto*
2. Neptune*
3. Saturn
4. Jupiter
5. Mars
6. Sun
7. Venus
8. Mercury
9. Moon,
whereas the numerological correspondences are
1. Sun
2. Moon
3. Jupiter
4. Uranus
5. Mercury
6. Venus
7. Neptune
8. Saturn
9. Mars?
It is not as if the two tables have nothing to do with each other - provided that the Qabalah and the Tarot do indeed have something to do with each other: for the Tarot follows the numerological table of correspondences:
1. Magician
2. High Priestess
3. Empress
4. Emperor
5. Hierophant
6. Lovers
7. Chariot
8. Justice
9. Hermit.
The key to my own explanation is the number 3: by virtue of the hard work of Saturn, the number 3 is radiant with positive energy: the era of the Titans in Greek mythology, who were ruled by Kronos [Saturn], was a Golden Age of Man due to their efforts.
Likewise, the number 5 has a Mercurial outlook because of the wardance of Shiva [who also pertains to Geburah] - the Martial fire of war.
