Correction – Which Planet Rules Which Metal
Sunday January 29th 2012
I see I wrote that Saturn rules iron in my post about Mrs T. It’s a bit more complicated than that. She has Saturn in Scorpio, which is ruled by the iron planet Mars. In Western astrology, Saturn rules lead, Mars rules iron.
However, in Vedic astrology, Saturn does rule iron.
I’ll leave it there, shall I?
No.
OK. Here’s the traditional western list
Sun – Gold
Moon – Silver
Mercury – Quicksilver
Venus – Copper
Mercury – Quicksilver
Venus – Copper
Mars – Iron
Jupiter – Tin
Jupiter – Tin
Saturn – Lead
And there’s a certain amount of disagreement among Vedic sources, but most agree on this:
Sun – Copper
Moon – Silver
Mercury – Zinc
Venus – also Silver
Mercury – Zinc
Venus – also Silver
Mars – Brass
Jupiter – Gold
Saturn – Iron
