In Traditional Western Occultism, Planetary intelligences are one of the seven divine beings associated with each of the seven traditional planets of astrology.{{cite book |last1=Greer |first1=John Michael |title=The New Encyclopedia of the Occult |date=2016 |publisher=Llewellyn Publications |location=Woodbury, MN |isbn=978-1-56718-336-8 |page= 244 |edition= First}} The basic idea is that each planet is part of the Great Chain of Being and has a vast hierarchy of various spirits, intelligences, angels, deities, plants, stones and minerals as partaking in its nature.{{cite book |last1=Greer |first1=John Michael |title=The Encyclopedia of Natural Magic |date=2017 |publisher=Llewellyn Publications |location=Woodbury, MN |isbn=978-0-7387-0674-0 |pages=6–8 |edition= First}} Within this conceptual framework, the Planetary Intelligence is the part of the Planet that corresponds to the mental plane, the plane of abstract thought.{{cite book |last1=Greer |first1=John Michael |title=The Art and Practice of Geomancy |date=2009 |publisher=Red Wheel/Weiser |location=San Francisco, CA |isbn=978-1-57863-431-6 |page=215}}
