One of the most confusing things about the Major Arcana
is the attributions and why exactly each card is what it is.
Many assume they come from Kabbalah, but they do not.
Kabbalah is a form of Jewish Mysticism, not about Tarot.
But Kaballah does use the cards because it's more fun.
Astrology is a part of the Major Arcana system of attributes,
but "why" exactly would any card have a correspondence?
The answer is in the cards themselves, and comes from the
ancient Phoenician alphabet (22 Letters). That is the Truth.
Looking at the Marseille cards we can see each of the letters.
I'm not making this up, and you can look for yourself to see.
Hebrew style letters were used because they have the same
basis as Phoenician. Within the alphabet are all of the cards.

It begins with 1 Aleph, kind of like The Creator is willing
there to be our Universe. Into that first idea come a few
very necessary things. First, the Moon and Venus, 2 and 3,
because ancient sacred beliefs recognized the Mother Gods.
But there's work to be done, so 4 Mars sets the stage for the
Zodiac, beginning with 5 Aries, which is ruled by that planet.
Everything slowly forms and builds together in the alphabet,
and once you see how naturally it flows, it all becomes easy.

There are 12 Zodiac Signs, which are really the 12 Months.
The Phoenician calendar became the Hebrew calendar and
the 12 Letters for the 12 Signs-Months are easy to identify.
But just like how the alphabetic attributions build together
naturally, so too the Signs-Months have "interruptions" in
the order of their appearance, when something is needed.
That is when another Planet is put in place, or an Element.
