From the observed influences of the Sun and Moon the old scholars were enabled to classify the influence of these orbs in the various parts of the heavens and to formulate special rules, which extended observation rendered more convincing and complete. The simple consideration of the lunar phases brought grains of knowledge, which included the calculation of tidal action, eclipses, etc. The unity of the forces of Nature was then demonstrated in the actions and influences of the planets and stars, and the blending of such influences with their zodiacal positions and aspects. Universal unity was insisted on and the statements of the ancient scholars have not been discredited by the revelations of modern scientific discoveries. The Talmud calls the planets “moving stars” and sets down that Alexander of Macedon was pictured with a ball in his hand to symbolize the spherical shape of the Earth. The planets were indicated as follows:

Mercurythe Planet of Mindis The Star
Venusthe Planet of Beautyis Splendour
Marsthe Planet of Contentionis Ruddiness
Jupiterthe Planet of Prosperityis Benevolence
Saturnthe Planet of Restraintis The Star of Sabbath

Comets are represented as arrows of flame bearing messages to mankind.
