This is what I have...

  -         Osiris      Orion            -       Violet
  -         Isis/Thoth  Sirius/Big Dog  Cadmium  Indigo
  -         Horus       Small Dog       Zinc     Magenta

* Note that in astrology, the Earth is not a planet. The alchemy
   symbol for Antimony (AntiMoon), the 'planetairy metal' of the
   Earth, is identical to the astronomy symbol for the Earth. The
   Planets are Deities and the constellations are Giants.
* I don't know why the colour of Osiris is violet and also, I don't
   know the corresponding metal.
* Mercury, Zinc, and Cadmium are in Group 12 of the Periodic Table,
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_12_element
   - this explains why these elements are so important in quackery
   (Mercury being the Deity of Quackery).
   Note that there is a Dead Dog here: Cadmium used to be Zinc too,
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamine
* Most colours correspond to that of the metal(oxide); yellow
   corresponds to the colour of Sulphur (the alchemy of metals is
   based on Mercury and Sulphur). Indigo and Magenta correspond to
   the colours of the Solar and Lunar Eclipses. These also correspond
   to *both* eyes of Horus in Egyptian mythology.
