Correction - Which Planet Rules Which Metal

I see I wrote that Saturn rules iron in my post about Mrs T. It's a bit more complicated than that. She has Saturn in Scorpio, which is ruled by the iron planet Mars. In Western astrology, Saturn rules lead, Mars rules iron.

However, in Vedic astrology, Saturn does rule iron.

I'll leave it there, shall I?

No.

OK. Here's the traditional western list

Sun - Gold 

Moon - Silver
Mercury - Quicksilver
Venus - Copper 

Mars - Iron
Jupiter - Tin 

Saturn - Lead

And there's a certain amount of disagreement among Vedic sources, but most agree on this:

Sun - Copper 

Moon - Silver
Mercury - Zinc
Venus - also Silver

Mars - Brass  

Jupiter - Gold 

Saturn - Iron
