Planetary intelligence

In Traditional Western Occultism, Planetary intelligences are one of the seven divine beings associated with each of the seven traditional planets of astrology.^[1] The basic idea is that each planet is part of the Great Chain of Being and has a vast hierarchy of various spirits, intelligences, angels, deities, plants, stones and minerals as partaking in its nature.^[2] Within this conceptual framework, the Planetary Intelligence is the part of the Planet that corresponds to the mental plane, the plane of abstract thought.^[3]

Use in Occultism

The Planetary Intelligences are invoked in occultism to control the blind forces of the planetary spirit, specifically in the creation of astrological talismans.^[4] The Planetary Intelligence are also formally invoked in Planetary Charity to help ameliorate poorly dignified planets in a natal chart.^[5]
