Notes.

aThe Trump-Zodiac correspondences are from Etteilla; other astrological data reflect modern commonly accepted astrological conventions.

bModern bilingual edition (French and English) published by Grimaud (France Cartes).  Some keywords differ from Etteilla�s original deck.

cMultiple systems of correspondences between Etteilla�s Trumps and those of other typical Tarot decks have been suggested (e.g., Decker, Depaulis, & Dummett, and Papus, Le Tarot divinatoire).  The system employed here, however, is specifically from Etteilla.

dDignfied planet: the planets that (1) rule and (2) exalt in the sign.  The planet(s) are favorably placed and operate in their best manner, true to the given description.

eDebilitated planet: the planets that are in fall or detriment in the sign.  The planet(s) do not function properly and must struggle to operate effectively.  The typical energies are muted and occasionally will manifest in a negative manner.
