Planetary Gods
"Planetary Gods" refer to deities associated with the seven classical planets visible to the naked eye: the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the Sun. In various ancient cultures, these celestial bodies were believed to influence human affairs and were often personified as gods. For example, Roman mythology featured Jupiter as the king of the gods, while Greek mythology identified him with Zeus.
These gods were integral to astrology, where each planet was thought to govern specific traits and aspects of life. The alignment and movement of these planetary gods were believed to affect everything from personality to fate. This connection between celestial bodies and divine figures highlights the significance of astronomy in ancient belief systems.
