In my researching the Chinese radicals, I have noticed symmetry between Eastern and Western symbols, this is not a translation so much as a study in Synchronicity. In my previous piece I corresponded Zodiacal symbols, here are the Western planets corresponded to Radicals.
ah that's neat... it reminds me, tibet is one place where there is just a bit of an amalgamation between hellenistic astrology (via buddhism via sanskrit jyotish traditions) and the chinese zodiac. i'm wondering if you've seen the tibetan thangka painting template of a turtle with the chinese trigrams, but then below it the planets are all depicted by hand emblems: the sun and moon are like those here, but mars, i believe is an eye, jupiter is a phurba, saturn is a noose (i think). i'm not sure about the others, but there is also ketu and rahu. i'm not sure if that gives you any clues for your correlations here, but i was wondering if you have thought about it.
