Attributions of Hé and Tzaddi
-
Everyone is no doubt familiar with the phrase "...but Tzaddi is not The Star." This obviously refers to the superimposing of the Tarot on the Tree of Life, but how does this affect the astrological attributions of those Paths?
777 attributes Aries+Hé; Aquarius+Tzaddi
Thoth Tarot attributes Aquarius+Hé(The Star); Aries+Tzaddi(The Emperor)Is there a differentiation between Tarot vs. general astrological correspondences? Or did the Tarot expose an error in previous astrological attributions?

Hm. Well that does answer a certain aspect of my question.
For all his wondrous ingenuity, however, Crowley was (in my own slightly haughty opinion
) a bit arrogant and close-minded in [some of] his views. I suppose this may be approaching heresy to claim on a Thelemic board, but if there is one thing my own approach and studies in the occult have reaped me, its the notion of analogue ambiguity, and nothing can be quite so black-and-white as to be deemed "incorrect".Who knows, those pesky Adepts of old were known to spew a load of plainly wrong shit into public hands in their efforts of secrecy; I guess its a question of just how ancient and attribution it really is. I suppose only comparative meditation will yield an acceptable answer to me, and I do appreciate your reference.
