quran:25:61 –

Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a ˹burning˺ lamp and luminous moon.  

God, exalted be He, says: Blessed, magnified, is He Who has placed in the heaven constellations, twelve ˹of them˺: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo (al-sunbula), Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. They are the mansions for the seven orbiting planets: Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Venus: Taurus and Libra, Mercury: Gemini and Virgo, the Moon: Cancer, the Sun: Leo, Jupiter: Sagittarius and Pisces, and Saturn: Capricorn and Aquarius; and has, also, placed in it a lamp, namely, the sun, and a shining moon (a variant reading ˹for sirājan, ‘sun’˺ has the plural surujan, which would mean ‘luminous stars’). The moon is singled out for mention because of its particular merit.
