"The succeeding circle (IV) is divided into twenty-four equal parts, on which are inscribed : - (1) the twelve zodiacal signs, the uneven numbers being marked red as peculiarly auspicious, viz. Aries, Gemini (who represent the white tiger) Leo (who represents the azure dragon), Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius ; - (2) eight of the ten celestial sterms, viz. two characters for the element waters, two for wood, two for fire, and two for metal ; - (3) four symbols belonging to the eight diagrams, viz. heaven (marked red), earth (marked red), wind, and water. This circle is essentially the same as VIII and XI, and their identity is made still more prominent by the equality of breadth of space and size of characters. The only difference in these three circles is that the characters are placed in different position, indicating more prominently the exact line in which the influence of each symbol proceeds. "
