Can you name the astrological entity (solar system objects or constellations) represented by each symbol?

Correctly named answers will show up below
Note: These entities are solar system objects and constellations. For things that have more than one symbol, I chose the one NASA uses. They often get used in astrology as well.

	Astrology isn't a science...

	@tlnicol111 These symbols aren't only used in Astrology. They were used by the alchemists, and NASA still uses them to represent the planets, etc.

	Mercury reminds me of my ex-wife.

	of course i made this quiz a long time ago, but since i'm not an editor i really didn't get anywhere with it...

	sproutcm:	Jul 15th, 2011 at 01:45 GMT	2 points
	@yank1020 Actually, I made this quiz last year, using the unicodes for all of these, and it was a fine quiz, but certain browsers couldn't show it, so once I finally got a copy of Photoshop this year, I updated my own quiz from last October.

	...then gave yourself the editor's pick. OK, I see.

	quiz should be renamed: astronomical symbols. as tlni pointed out, astrology isn't a science, and as sprout said these are used in more contexts than astrology.

	This quiz is well done, but I see what yanks1020 is trying to say. Doesn't it seem a little unfair when an editor makes a quiz in their own category? They're pretty much guaranteed Editor's Pick.

	@myb555, et al. Science is one of the categories that gets a small number of quiz submissions, and over 75% of the quizzes in science are students and med students making study guides for themselves, rather than quizzes for the general public. I try to avoid making my own quizzes picks, but very few people other than me (who is a science professor) make science quizzes. As an editor, we are told that we should make several quizzes editor picks each week as part of our job. So, please, everyone, start making great science quizzes or find lost gems that slipped through the cracks and email me about them.

	OK. That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

	The entry fields doesn't work for the constellation Scorpius. If the quiz is going to be under the mantle of astronomy, and the description is going to say that you're entering constellations and bodies in the solar system, then it should be set so that if you type in Scorpius for Scorpius, it will accept that as a correct answer as there is no constellation called Scorpio.
