Satarnus (Saturnus) — [sigil: a horizontal rectangle/trapezoid crossed diagonally by a stroke that descends and ends in a point or barb at the lower left angle; recalls an angular «Z» —or a schematized scythe— enclosed in a box].

Juppiter (Iuppiter) — sigil: three or four horizontal strokes ending in teeth or spikes like combs/rakes, crossed by a long diagonal stroke forming a loop at the lower left end; it is the known developed Jupiterian «4».

Mars — sigil: upper horizontal bar with ends turned upward (like a table or bracket), from which a vertical stem descends to a small ring or knot; below, a fork- or trident-shaped base with three small teeth; resembles an anchor.

Sol — sigil: wide shallow bowl or tray (∪ / ⊔) in thick, heavily inked stroke —almost a blot—, with ends slightly raised; like a cup or trough.

Venus — sigil: figure similar to an «F» or to a cross with vertical stem and central crossbar; the upper end curves into a hook to the right and the base forms a horizontal foot with small rise; recalls a key or an adorned cross.

Mercurius — sigil: upper horizontal bar from which hangs a vertical stem ending in a ring or circle; beneath this, a rectangular body (column or box); like a keyhole or a padlock on a post.

Luna — sigil: broad, reclining half-moon (crescent at rest), open upward, with both points curved inward/upward; like a little boat or a smile with hooked ends.
