It is no wonder that the ancient Greeks, Romans, and other civilizations conceived of the planets as gods. After all, they have particular qualities that are like those used to describe personalities.
Words such as Mercurial (Mercury), Saturnine (Saturn), Jovial (Jupiter), and Lunatic (Moon) were all used to define the Attributes of the Planetary Gods and are still in use today to describe the same Character Traits. The Qualities and Virtues of the planets also correspond directly to the Sephiroth of the Kabbalah.
*Achieving Harmony*
The Planets must be considered not merely in isolation, but also in relationship with each other. The relationship of the planets- their mutual position in space at the moment we are Born- has a great bearing on our predispositions as individuals. Although there is not sufficient space to give more than an outline of the Planet's attirbutes and correspondances, it should be clear that the study of Astrology forms one of the principle pillars of Hermetic Science.
