Please correct me if I'm getting you wrong, but if the curve in your diagram is meant to be the ecliptic, it is incorrect. Where the GD text refers to the North Pole and South Pole of the celestial sphere, it means the poles of the ecliptic (a.k.a. the zodiac, for our purposes here), not the North Pole and South Pole as in the projection of the terrestrial poles on the celestial sphere. To make this clearer, the axis between the latter is currently aimed at the Polar Star, the axis between the former at a nebula in the Draco constellation.
The ecliptic/zodiac is perpendicular to the axis that connects the two ecliptical poles, whereas the celestial equator is at a 23,5 degrees angle to it. The zones of the Court Cards (minus the Princesses) and the zodiacal Majors are both ending right at the line of the ecliptic.
But perhaps I misunderstand your diagram somehow.
