That's how I see it too. BTW, what do you think would be the best elemental representation of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto?
I would use the 3 elements named after them, Uranium, Neptunium and Plutonium. What do you think?

I think that's just silly.  It's not even the same kind of element.

I have to agree, there isn't any reason why they 'should' coincide. 
for a start there are only 'five' elements at most of the kind you 
want for nine planets and various stars.

If you are really serious about doing this You would have to stick to 
the existing elemental chart and think up a pseudo scientific/ 
alchemical correspondence between say 'noble gasses' or metals and 
the planets....don't go for heavy unnatural isotopes they havent got 
much of a 'magical' feel to them.

For example mars is iron for the rust colour and iron is the basis of 
most weapons(Mars is the god of war). Mercury is self evident. The 
moon is silver traditionally.....but really its going to be pretty 
contrived and unconvincing any which way you look at it.
