Very interesting! I was not familiar with the Chaldean Oracle fragments except by name.
Incidentally, the third grade of the Dolmen Arch actually provides a mapping for exactly these seven virtues (though it gives them as "positive attitudes" and its list of "negative states" differ more from the currently accepted Seven Deadly Sins). It goes about it slightly differently, which I share not to say "you got it wrong," of course, but as potential fodder for meditation. The listing from DA is as follows:

Earth: Wisdom
Spirit Below: Faith
Spirit Above: Hope
Spirit Within: Love
I found some of these non-obvious when meditating through them a few weeks ago, but I got to a place where they didn't seem obviously wrong.
Anyhow, hope you find this at least interesting, and ideally helpful,
