Actually, in _The Book of Thoth_ (I believe, it's been a long time since 
I've read it), Crowley makes some connections between the I Ching and 
tarot.  What I recall is a mapping of an I Ching hexagram to a court 
card.  So, the I Ching hexagram which is earth of earth would map to 
Daughter of Disks (also Earth of Earth).  

The hexagram is split in half, these halves them map to one of the four 
elements, earth, air, fire, or water.

The court cards are mapped by suite, which most people here will know 
already, and then personality (all I can think of now is the Motherpeace 
name for them): Shaman, priestess, son, & daughter.

I can look this up and bring in the exact correspondences if anyone is 
interested.
