the earth from the moon, she saw Endymion and fell in love with him. "Tsukino
Usagi" means "Rabbit of the Moon."
Sailor Mercury
Mercury represents one of the Greek gods Hermes, and of the sailor universe,
he was the most intelligent. In Chinese astrology, the planet Mercury is
associated with water.

masculinity. Mars represents fire, and had names for two moons, like Rei's
crows at Hikawa Shrine.
Sailor Jupiter
Jupiter is the Roman Form of Zeus, and is in fact one of the strongest of
all the gods.
Kino Makoto means "Faithfulness of Trees." In Chinese astrology,
Jupiter is the planet of woods.
Sailor Venus
In Greek, Venus is Aphrodite. Aphrodite was the God of Love and Beauty,
and was one of the Twelve Great Olympians making her very important. Venus
is also the god of laughter and pleasure. Venus caused a lot of trouble
between the gods. Venus is very flirtatious and in Chinese astrology, her
attack is metal which explains the "Venus Love Me Chain" attack.
Sailor Uranus

In Japanese legend, three objects were sent to the earth to protect it from
the evils. These were a sword, a mirror and gem orb. Uranus carries the
sword.
Sailor Neptune
In Greek mythology, Neptune is the god of the sea. Neptune was known for
losing many battles, and that is why in the Sailor Moon series, Michiru
is nearly perfect. Kaiou Michiru means, "Sea Road."
Sailor Pluto
Pluto was called the god of the underworld, and the god of the dead. In
the series, Saturn's and Pluto's roles are reversed, and the only link is
Pluto's attack, "Dead Scream." Meiou Setsuna means, "Dark
King."
Sailor Saturn
In the original story, Saturn was the god of time, and Pluto was the god
of death. But the roles were switched in the Sailor Moon series to have
a fifth Chinese element where all people return to earth after their deaths.
As much as we wish, we don't own Sailormoon at all. =( [You don't, but I do! :evil laughter:] ...yeah... As I was saying... Sailormoon belongs to DiC,CWi, Mixx, Naoko Takeuchi, Kodansha Ltd, Toei Animation, and probably a bunch of other people!
