Jupiter

[Anton]

I occasionally stumbled upon chapter X of the second book of "De Occulta Philosophia" by Agrippa, and it says (in English translation):

"The Moon is the seventh of the planets and next to us..."

Then it occurred to me that this curve connecting the set of seven stars and the Moon may be just an indication of that Moon is one the seven "planets" (the stars designating "planets", as suggested above, and not Pleiades), and nothing more. Just a pointer to the place of the Moon in the set of "planets".

Note that Agrippa does not say simply that the Moon is one of the seven planets. He says specifically that it is the seventh one. Depending on the angle at which the reader looks at the depicted set, the star in question is the 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th (if counted left to right, top to bottom).
