Several, depending on your source. For Jewish correpsondences I would 
recommend taking a look at Areyh Kaplan's translation of the Sefer 
Yetzirah. In the case of the GD, I believe the attributions of the lower 
sefirot, from Malkhut to Tiferet, are discussed in the Z1 paper, vol 6 
of the Complete GD, begining on page 56 of my edition, under "The 
Symbolism of the Temple"

Malkhut is to the West, and takes up most of the western part of the 
Neophyte hall, the altar is in the eastern part of Malkhut. Between the 
the altar and the station of the Hegemon is Yesod and the Hegemon is 
between the pillars which are Hod and Netzach. Tiferet is beyond the 
portal to the East. So, from a Hall of the Neophytes perspective the 
directions on the Tree would be:

Malkhut: West
Yesod: Center
Hod: East
Netzach: North
Tiferet: East
