Sleep Walking
Living numbly on autopilot until one shattering moment breaks the pattern. No correspondence is attached; the track is the before-state that the rest of the record moves out of. It opens the self-titled album with the condition the King of Wands is defined against: energy present but unclaimed, and will asleep.

Bright Lights, Dark Shadows
The shock of awakening: success forcing a confrontation with the self that was hidden in order to achieve it. The correspondence is shadow work, the Jungian effort to recognise and take responsibility for what one has disowned, which surfaces as projection and compulsive reaction until it is met. Jung treated it as the first and least comfortable stage of individuation, and it is placed second here for the same reason.
Accept the Mystery
Surrendering the need for control and following the soul without a map. No correspondence is attached to this version; the shorter ATM on The Quiet Truth carries the same idea and is filed under Faith. Here it functions as the third step of an awakening sequence: wake up, meet the shadow, then stop demanding to know the route in advance.

Know Thyself
Self-knowledge as the true crown. The correspondence is gnosis, knowledge of the divine reached by direct acquaintance rather than by instruction or assent, and inseparable in those traditions from knowledge of oneself, on the claim that the self is continuous with the source of all being. What results is described as a change in what a person is, not merely in what they know.
King of Wands
The title track, and the card that names the project. The King of Wands is the outward, commanding mastery of Fire, throned among lions and salamanders with a flowering wand in hand and a live salamander at his feet: visionary, entrepreneurial, bold, inspiring to others. Upright he is leadership and the confidence to set a course and hold it; reversed, arrogance and high ideals without follow-through. The track takes the upright reading.
Love Potion
Intoxicating attraction, and the surrender to it. The correspondence is Lust, luxuria, the disordered desire for bodily pleasure sought apart from its measure, which the Atlas presents academically as a shadow entry. The single of the same name is mapped instead to Venus and to four of her herbs, so the two versions sit on opposite sides of the same appetite: one is the recipe, the other the effect.
My Angelfish
A raw encounter that turns unexpectedly into love and a lasting pact. The correspondence is The Lovers, Trump VI, whose subject is the moment of conscious choice between innocence and experience, desire and higher will. It is the same card that closes Desire to Devotion, reached here in a single track rather than across thirteen: desire breaking through into love.
Angelfish to FairyQueen
Metamorphosis, a being shedding fins for wings and moving toward what it is becoming. No correspondence is attached. It answers the previous track directly, taking the same figure and putting her through a change the record leaves as image rather than as doctrine, which is why nothing in the Atlas is fastened to it.

Scarred Rebel
A once-reckless rebel now wary and wiser, choosing grace over fear after being burned. No correspondence is attached, though the description sits close to the reversed King of Wands, which warns of impulsiveness and of high ideals unsupported by follow-through. The record does not make that mapping, and neither does this entry.

99.9
Playful romantic banter, with the narrator almost always right by synchronicity rather than by argument. The correspondence is the Wheel of Fortune, Trump X: fate, chance and the ceaseless turning of circumstance, the sphinx crowned at the top of the wheel and the lesson that the wise seek its still centre. The single carries the same mapping, and Point Zero One answers it.
Point Zero One
The answer song: the missing point one that completes the ninety-nine point nine. No correspondence is attached to it, though 99.9 carries the Wheel of Fortune and this track is the other half of that pair. It is the only entry in the catalogue whose whole meaning depends on the track before it, and the pairing is deliberate rather than incidental.

Relationship Math
Two sets of strengths adding up to a working union. The correspondence is the Two of Cups, which carries the Golden Dawn title Love and answers to Venus in Cancer: a man and a woman exchanging cups beneath the caduceus of Hermes. It is union between two, the meeting of equals, balanced give and take. The record closes on arithmetic rather than on romance.
