The planets influence magic a great deal. They have
traditionally been the basis for many correspondences, those of the days of
the week in particular. (See
Time Correspondences) Each of the planets has been associated with
a group of ritual intents that they are considered to rule. The influence of
each planet is determined though these historic associations. When choosing
the correspondences to include in your ritual take into consideration the
nature of the planets and their areas of ruler ship.
The following tables provide you with a number of
correspondences for the planets, choose the planet that most closely relates
to your ritual intent and utilize it to add it's influence to your magic. You
will note that not all the planets are used in some of these charts. This is
due to the fact that many of them are based upon traditional or historic
associations devised before all the planets were known. The planets used most
frequently in magic are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn. You will note that some of the associations come from tarot, ritual
magic, the Kabala or other traditions. All are perfectly valid, choose
according to your ritual intent and what feels right to you.
