Patrice Guinard said:The first series (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) shows the order of the planetary sidereal revolutions, known for a long time in Mesopotamia; the second (Mars, Venus, Moon, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury, Saturn) shows the of the atomic numbers of the "planetary metals": Iron (26), Copper (29), Silver (47), Tin (50), Gold (79), Mercury (80), Lead (82). It is also interesting to note that the planetary metals have a decreasing thermal conductivity (or an increasing rate of resistance) with silver highest and lead lowest (with the exception of mercury, which is a liquid), i.e. following the order of the sidereal revolutions of the metals associated with these planets.
Planets, Colors and Metals
The series' he refers to are derived from the planetary week order:
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
The first series begins with the Moon and skips one planet (Moon, Mercury, etc.).
The second series begins with Mars and skips two planets (Mars, Venus, etc.).
Neat stuff. Mindfood. Yummy.
