There might be a connection between the I-ching and the probable organisation of nature elements - fire, air, plasma, earth, metal, water- hence the type of celestial bodies we might usually find. Could it be more combinations than these? Most certainly, but what is interesting is at least exploring these in order to gain some insight into what we are familiar with.
