This requires me to make judgements about what those are. I have my own sense of the pages, but I am wondering exactly how much opinions vary in the community. I realize some of you all are going to reject the idea that there is an order or that they represent degrees, but for those of you willing to play along, a few questions:
Anyway, looking forward to learning that we're even further from consensus than I would have guessed before
My answers, which I have some uncertainty about:
- Where do you start the count of nymphs/labels/whatevers on each page?

- Do you account for the Aires and Taurus rounds in any unusual way, like the second one first?

- Clockwise, with some misgivings
- Start from the inside, working out
- Aires and Taurus in their binding order
