Classical/Medieval planetary and astrological symbols?

I'm looking for planetary symbols with classical/medieval aesthetics, I mean not the usual ones like these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological_symbols but more elaborate and artistic ones.

I'm interested only in planetary symbols and symbols of astological aspects (e.g. conjunction). If anyone knows any website with symbols like this it would be helpful.
Thank you.

Re: Classical/Medieval planetary and astrological symbols?

Yes- at least regarding planetary symbols (the 7 planets) You will find unusual ones (which were used in Islamic astrology prior to the 1200's AD) pictured in Ibn Ezra's book, "Beginning of Wisdom" (easily available from several internet sites such as astroamerica.com and Amazon books)

You will also find variations of astrological symbols presented in the alchemical literature (see for example the Alchemy Website, as well as books on alchemy)

Yes it is-this site has many resources and, in turn, many other links for further material.

Thank you for the clarification dr. farr. Also, the "Beginning of Wisdom" book looks very interesting, I will try to get it.
