We're never really given a guideline to how TG follows The Fool's Journey exactly, so it's up to interpretation and debate. From what I've seen, the most common interpretations is that each volume follows one card and that we're "beyond The Fool's Journey" now, or that we're in the "Moon Arc". I don't follow the Tarot symbolism too closely though, so I couldn't say how accurate these interpretations are.

Aside from Ishida maybe trying to end :re at roughly the same length as the first series, I don't think it's necessary to look much into symbolism. Basic story conventions ought to suggest more or less where we are and how much we have left. Like, most of the plot points that have served as the backbone since the beginning of the series have either been resolved or are in the process of being resolved. We know who the OEK was, Aogiri's gone, Kaneki is back with his old clique, the CCG/Washuu's/V's secrets are being unraveled, etc. Some of the major forces we have left like the CCG/Washuu/V, the Clowns, Kanou and the Quinx are knitted together, so they'll probably resolve with each other. Eh...Perhaps we have one or two arcs left? Maybe three? I think :re will be longer than the first series because I doubt the story will wrap up in less than thirty chapters. We're kind of at that "so close, yet so far away" mark. A lot has been revealed, but there's still a decent bit that needs resolution.
