The Planets

 

Clearly, the Sun and the Moon are luminaries rather than planets.  For ease of presentation they are included  in the table with the planets. Also, Pluto is treated as a planet. Each of the planets and luminaries has a metal with which it is associated. Other bodies (e.g. asteroids) will be covered in more advanced lessons.  These keywords are the basic structures to understanding the meanings of the planets.  They will  be enriched as the student gains more knowledge and experience.
