Here is the list of names:
Mercury – Merry
Venus – Pippin
Earth – Gandalf
Mars – Frodo
Jupiter – Legolas
Saturn – Saruman
Uranus – Gimli
Neptune – Aragorn
Pluto – Sauron
Sedna – Shadowfax?
As astrologers know, the functions of the planets revolve around the mythology of names they receive. It’s obvious that the assigned names are totally off base. For instance, Neptune is listed as Aragorn, while any astrologer worth his or her salt would put Aragorn with the planet of the king, Jupiter. Venus is assigned to a male character, which is ludicrous. It’s obvious Venus should be Arwen. Sedna should be Galadriel, not Shadowfax. And metrosexual and sexually ambiguous Legolas should properly be assigned to Neptune.
When will the madness end?
