The 'standard' attributions from
Equinox/BJT VII.1. are as follows:

A = 0 FOOL
L = 2 MAGUS
W = SATURN/AQUARIUS/PRIESTESS
H = JUPITER/PISCES/EMPRESS
S = MARS/ARIES/EMPEROR
D = SUN/LEO/HIEROPHANT
O = VENUS/TAURUS/LUST
Z = MERCURY/GEMINI/LOVERS
K = MOON/CANCER/CHARIOT
V = MOON/FORTUNA/FORTUNE
G = MERCURY/VIRGO/HERMIT
R = VENUS/LIBRA/JUSTICE
C = SUN/FORTUNA/HANGED MAN
N = MARS/SCORPIO/DEATH
Y = JUPITER/SAGITTARIUS/ART
J = SATURN/CAPRICORN/DEVIL
U = FIRE/TOWER
F = AIR/STAR
Q = EARTH/MOON
B = WATER/SUN
M = SPIRIT/AEON
X = SPIRIT/UNIVERSE
I = WATER/CUP
T = EARTH/DISK
E = AIR/SWORD
P = FIRE/WAND

Of particular interest in this attribution are the letters valued 3
through to 9 - these correspond to the 7 Planets Saturn through Moon in
the Classical 'Chaldean' or Ptolemaic Order. Note the close resemblances
of letter, number and astrological symbol in this attribution.

The 26 fold attibution above is 'reflected' ie, if placed on a circle
then (exactly like the planetary rulerships of the Zodiac) the
attributions form pairs radiating out. Some of the associations and
meanings are obscure to me, but the vision from which this resulted
strongly resembles one of Achads, of alphabets running back and forth
(see his Liber 31).

My inclination is to treat most of this as suggestive, for further
research - from 'organic' information evolving out of Class A studies
with EQ there appears to be more than one attribution anyway.

The vowels (AOUIE) total 73, the value of RUNES - suggesting a separate
attribution to the vowels considered separately from the alphabet as a
whole.

Elemental Weapon attribution based on shape:

A Rays descending from LAMP = Spirit
O Disk = Earth
U Cup = Water
I Rod = Fire
E Sword Guard = Air

This is complicated by 78 = FIRE and other indications that O=7 is
associated with Fire/Venus (see the elemental grades of GD and their
planetary associations, this schema is implicit in EQ at least once in a
while and equates with the Chaldean Order theme mentioned above).

A mere 22 yrs into the history of this Qaballa no hard and fast
attribution can really be expected to be established and understood.
Basically the Jury is still out. I hope some of these ideas are useful
to researchers.

Consistent with the attributions above, here are the following:

W = 3 = Saturn.
H = 4 = Jupiter.
S = 5 = Mars.
D = 6 = Sun.
O = 7 = Venus.
Z = 8 = Mercury.
K = 9 = Moon.

Note the close resemblance between letter, number and planetary symbol.
Other ideas often associated with the numbers are regularly used in
exegesis:

1 = 'the Unity of...'
2 = 'the Duality of...'
3
4
5 = 'the Energy of...' or 'the Pentagram'
6 = LAW, thus 'the Law of...'
7 = Goddess, Venus etc.
8 = 'infinite expression of'

A number such as 128 may thus be interpreted as: The Unity of Opposites
in its Infinite expression'

Further ideas are arrived at by gematria, for example ONE=46=WOMAN

Sun-Venus = 107 involves the following ideas 1/Woman 0/Nuit 7/Venus.
