Ra says that the tarot as presented in the Law of One was formed for "our peoples" and even specifically that they used common Egyptian symbolism.
I'm sure that the themes present within the archetypes are very similar, but I don't think that the specific tarot that Ra talks about is necessarily what was developed by Ra. Instead, I think Ra had something similar to the tarot possibly using Venusian symbolism. The archetype of Moonlight is relevant to us because it's part of our environment, it is our own environment's expression of the archetypal energy behind it. Perhaps what Ra associated with this archetypal energy wasn't necessarily "Moonlight" but whatever in their environment expressed that particular energy.
Though I'm sure there are many similarities - the feminine and masculine cards for instance. These energies are likely so basic and primal to the archetypal mind that the male/female polarity of archetypes is expressed in both sets of tarot images.
The question makes me think of the idea of a finger pointing to the moon. "Don't concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all that heavenly glory."
Except in this case, it's like the Moon pointing to something else, deeper inside of us. Don't concentrate on the Moon or you'll miss all that heavenly glory.
