Matching planet labels

[oshfdk]

I have been also working in something like this, trying to match the labels with the planets. If they are the plantets, is there any logic in the VMS in the order of the planets?

If the order in VMS is the same as in De Sphaere, then this is a somewhat easier question of why De Sphaere chose this way of showing domiciles. Looking at how they show the planets on their separate orbits, they were kind of forced to put Mercury next to the Sun, otherwise this would not represent the actual universe they believed in. So maybe it's just the best compromise they found between keeping planets in their homes and showing a realistic celestial configuration.

I have also tryed it as a domicile chart but the labels doesnt match well with the names of the plantets (I am also wiorking with other labels in other folios).

I have no strong opinion on the underlying language, if there is any at all, so I can't tell whether the labels match or not. That's why I chose to ignore them altogether when looking at patterns. I guess the language could be anything known in or before the 1400s. It could be something well known now like Latin or Greek, but also Venetian or Maltese or some other obscure regional or global language. I tried checking with this site that attempts listing the names of the planets in many languages: You are not allowed to view links.

My last idea in progress is the following: the planets are ordered by the day they are relationed with, they follow the days of the week: your Jupiter okal would be Sun (Sunday), and to the right Moon (Monday),  Mars  (Tuesday), Mercury (Wednesday), Jupiter (Thursday), Venus (Fryday), Saturn (Saturday). This order matchs better with the labels, but still I have some problems to match all the labels with the planets.

That's an interesting idea. I've just looked up the origin of this order of planets for the days of week, never knew why they go this way You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
