of the line—of the ace of spades. So, strange to say, these hour rulers, or "Earth Cards," never vary from twenty-four in each case, and all rule in fours into each other. This is a thing no other set of emblems do in those layouts; and it clearly exhibits the even passage of the Earth through the four quarters, or quadratures—a thing no other planet does on co-ordinating time, corresponding to the Test Book. For instance, the next, or second card to the right from any given emblem, rules ten times; the next, eight, and the next, three. There are just as many cards ruling after any card as there are planets—no more and no less—aside from the Earth Card before mentioned.
But all the planet cards form under each planet a continuous chain of the whole test hook, instead of forming chains of four, as the hour cards do.

Under each emblem is the number of times it rules under that planet.

Names of planets and numbers are just the same all the way through, remember.
