Fool 
Spheres: 
→ 
Fool’s Number: (0)
Emanation Number: (0)
Pronunciation: nĕsh-nĭn-hēzh /nɛʃ.nɪn.hiʒ/
The Fool is the first step on the path. It is the blind choice to be without knowledge of what will be.

Magus 
Spheres: → 
Fool’s Number: (1)
Emanation Number: (2)
Pronunciation: hēzh-hēzh-ēs /hiʒ.hiʒ.is/
The Magus is mastery. It may seem odd that this comes immediately after the Fool, but it is a simple and direct sort of mastery. When walking into a room we may flip a light switch to turn on the lights. If the electricity is working and the wiring laid out in a reasonable manner then we know how to control the lights without being told. This is the key. The Magus knows how things should be and how to work with what they have available.

Tower 
Spheres: →
Fool’s Number: (16)
Emanation Number: (17)
Pronunciation: äi-gō-thŏth /ɑɪ.goʊ.θɑθ/
Having entered into desire through the Devil we now encounter desire in its immediacy. It hits us like a lightning strike. Pain is not an abstract desire to avoid; the hurt is real, immediate. Likewise desire and want hits us and moves us in spite of ourselves, whether it be experienced as pleasure or pain.
In the sequence we start with the fool at zero, so even without the emergent number of seventeen there is a sense that this is the seventeenth path in the lunar cycle and associated with the beginning of the waning of the moon.
The tower is associated with the number sixteen in the Fool’s Journey.
In binary sixteen, 10000, is a mark of completion, echoing zero.
It the cycle of pronunciation it is the turning point backwards.
Tower is also seventeen, the breaking of the perfection of sixteen to produce the next prime. Its position on the tree also echos the Fool, but where the fool is innocent and above consequence the Tower is entirely about consequence.
Regarding these numbers, Plutarch wrote in Isis and Osiris:
The Egyptians have a legend that the end of Osiris’s life came on the seventeenth of the month, on which day it is quite evident to the eye that the period of the full moon is over. Because of this the Pythagoreans call this day "the Barrier," and utterly abominate this number. For the number seventeen, coming in between the square sixteen and the oblong rectangle eighteen, which, as it happens, are the only plane figures that have their perimeters equal their areas, bars them off from each other and disjoins them, and breaks up the ratio of eight to eight and an eighth by its division into unequal intervals.
Isis and Osiris, 42
