Cancer
Canonical- Who says so
- Not yet attributed to a school
- Earliest verified attestation
- 130 CE
- Ancient or scriptural source
- Not yet investigated
- Evidence
- The source states it
Ptolemy assigns the houses of the planets outward from the two luminaries: the Sun takes Leo and the Moon takes Cancer, and the five remaining planets take two signs each, one on either side, in order of distance. The luminaries take one sign each; only they do.
Evidence
-
Claudius Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos, second century CE — Book I, chapter 17: Of the Houses of the Several Planets
The chapter that sets out the whole scheme. Ptolemy argues it from the relation of each planet's orbit to the solstitial signs rather than presenting it as received tradition.
-
William Lilly, Christian Astrology, 1647 — Book I, chapters XI–XVII
Lilly, writing in 1647, still works with exactly seven planets and Ptolemy's houses. He is cited here to establish where the older system ends, not for a modern meaning.

- Evidence
- The source states it
The complete seven-metal series is explicit in Albertus Magnus. The Agrippa citation is included only where the checked chapter explicitly names the same material; this edge does not claim exclusivity across all authors.
Evidence
-
Celsus, The True Doctrine, c. 175–180 CE — Origen, Contra Celsum VI.22
This pair also appears in Celsus's much earlier Mithraic ladder, although four other assignments in that ladder differ from the medieval series.
-
Albertus Magnus, De mineralibus, After 1248; probably completed 1261–1262 — Book III, tractate I, chapter 6, pp. 168–169
Albert gives all seven planet–metal names in one passage and attributes the opinion to earlier Hermetic and alchemical writers.
-
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, 1509–1510, revised through 1533 — Book I, chapter 24
Agrippa explicitly includes Silver among the materials placed under Moon.
