So I've done some speculating about the southern pantheon, and I know how much we all like charts (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sf3hHvsZo3IddnsT1EfQGjkc9Sl1_Qag/view?usp=sharing) and tables (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uOXX4z58fJvxDLwzfvqzQNEV5K-7HNeo/view?usp=sharing).
Outside the circle are the abstract concepts to indicate direction. They are also placed beyond the gods to remind people that the essences of these things exist beyond even the gods.
The outer circle are the full gods. The relationships between quadrant-mates and opposites are preserved from astrology. The Rat is exactly where he is because OOTS mentioned he was evil and that's the only evil yang position. The "unreal" positions reflect the idea that no being can be perfectly balanced or perfectly yin/yang. (also the fact that I wanted to match D&D's great wheel's 16 locations).
The inner circle and center are for demigods, which fill the spots of the great circle and also the elements for good measure.
In the center are Eagle (air), Hedgehog (earth), and Panda (outlands).
Most of the demigods' animals are from variations of Chinese astrology. Vermillion bird is there because fire it's a fire animal. Panda is there because it's a panda.
Wood and metal are semi-elemental planes. If there can be a semi-elemental plane of ranch dressing, there can certainly be some for classical elements.
