The Wedd's view of the heavenly bodies is quite complicated.  They conflate English ''astronomy'' and ''astrology'' in a way most outsiders find very confusing.  To them, the correct viewpoint from which to view the heavens is precisely that, as the ''heavens'' {{C|המל}} '''himěl'''.  Just as ''planets'' comes from a Greek root meaning "to wander (around the sky)" and originally included lots of things which are not "rocky bodies in Outer Space", so too {{C|מזל}} '''mazěl''' are sky-objects which move, including the sun, the moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc.  Because the constellations/zodiac signs also traverse with the season, they too are considered מזל, even though the starts that make them up are not.  The Weddish split point-of-view affects most objects visible with the naked eye.  The ''sun'' {{C|שמש}} '''łeměł''' is not a hot ball of fusing gas, it's more like an angel on fire, driving across a dome.  The scientific idea of ''Sol'', is a מזל.  The amazing reality is that pagan connotations might be "true", but not the most important aspect of something.
