Given here is Mathers’ example of the “EARTH” sub-angle of the “WATER” quadrant, that is, the
sub-angle in the lower-left of the upper-right quadrant of the “Great Table” of the 4 Watchtowers.
In this manner, by example, Mathers’ demonstrates how the given attributes are derived as unique
per square based on the method of co-ordinating pairs of values from the base-4 set of elements.
Here, as before, Yod = FIRE, Heh = WATER, Vav = AIR and Heh (Final) = EARTH. Thus, the elements
are listed as letters along the left side, proceeding from the third letter down, upwards, and
looping around to connect the third letter at the top to the fourth letter at the bottom. Such has
been the method we have been working with thus far. Along the row connecting to the element Heh
(final), for EARTH, we find listed the elements given for the columns of this sub-angle, such that
in the second column from the left-most, we find FIRE (for Yod), followed, across the square of the
“Calvary” Cross, by WATER (for Heh), and then by AIR (for Vav) in the right-most column. Where
Heh (Final) of the rows overlaps with the EARTH elemental aspect of the columns, Mathers has
listed the planet Saturn. Note, however, this attribute is arbitrary and does not need to be
repeated.
For the rows besides that governed by Heh (Final) and thus by the element EARTH, we find that
Mathers has assigned the signs of the Zodiac round. They progress in such an order that, for the
rows, we see the Yod (FIRE), Heh (WATER) and Vav (AIR) on the left flank align with the signs of
the Zodiac described previously as “Cardinal” or “Common,” “Kherubic” or “Fixed,” and
“Moveable” or “Mutable.” Yod (Fire) aligns with the Cardinal signs; Heh (WATER) aligns with the
Fixed signs; Vav (AIR) aligns with the Mutable signs. Thus we see in the example above that
Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra are the Cardinal signs of Yod (Fire), that Taurus, Leo, Scorpio
and Aquarius are the Fixed signs of Heh (WATER) and Virgo, Saggitarius, Pisces and Gemini are
the Mutable signs of Vav (AIR). The top-most squares follow from the “Aces” as the Fixed Signs.
