Literally I wish mercury was used as a symbol for trans women. Literally the symbol for change and the unseen, for esoteric knowledge. Can you tell hermeticism is a special interest of mine
You aren't limited to just these. There are also ♇ Pluto, the asteroid belt minor planets (⚳ Ceres, ⚴ Pallas, ⚵ Juno, ⚶ Vesta, etc), heck, even the numbering of individual asteroids are technically stand-ins for symbols
Fun fact: Ceres is considered a dwarf planet like Pluto. The only one in the inner solar system, though I believe they are still evaluating Vesta for dwarf classification.
To my understanding, the points at the top represent the wings that the god Mercury/Hermes had on his helmet.
The planet Mercury, being the closest to the sun, appeared to travel quickly as it went about its orbit (only taking roughly 88 days to go around the sun once.) As such, the ancients associated it with a god known for traveling swiftly - Mercury (known as Hermes in Greek mythology), the messenger of the gods.
Neptune is obviously a very closeted Alpha male who is deeply entrenched in the manosphere while furiously masterbating in secret to the most the most heinous gay porn ever created

Mercury is just girl, but horny 😈

Well the mercury symbol ☿ is literally used for intersex people. They also have ⚥ which in my mind implies a catastrophic crashing of planets.
Non-binary people use 🜬, neutral non-binary use ⚲, and agender uses ○ (Source: Wikipedia).

Uranus is ⛢ and ♅, but I assume you are not talking about the planet. Although even for that ⛢ goes strong

If the drop down list on websites and forms just had these as options, that'd be pretty dope.

We only have a (more or less "printable") form on our wiki: https://wwwww.aktion23.com/wniki/doku.php/eristokratie/administration/personalfragebogen (Gender symbols list slightly below the start under "Geschlecht"). Main complaint our Trans members (or anyone really) had about it related to adequate Unicode fonts being hard to find. 😅

Saturn's rings are visible with the naked eye and have been known about for a while
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 16d
So? The symbol is ♄ .
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 16d

You'd think that, but she's a femme lesbian with a passion for the arts, and is in a committed relationship with the more butch lesbian, Uranus.

Earth people making symbols for others celestial bodies, forget that all planets and moon get a crescent shape when looked from the sides.
But think the moon is special for that.

It's special for doing it obviously to the naked eye for humans on earth.
