And what exactly are the planets named for? Jupiter, Venus, Mars, oh yeah, they are the names of pagan gods/goddesses. It was their celestial symbol in the heavens not that the planets themselves were gods.
The constellations are also symbols representing actual people long dead. For example the Pleiades.
I don't see how naming planets after gods has anything to do with spirits and demons. The planets have interesting names, that's all. What astrology claims is that the position of certain celestial bodies on our birthday have an influence on our lives and can be used for divination. It's well known as a pseudo-science, debunked long ago. There's no need to be afraid of old superstitions.
I suppose people can just go ahead and believe whatever they like about anything at all... but others like to be more accurate about facts.
The link below provides a handy place to start learning some facts about astrology:

LoL, who said I was afraid of an old superstition? I don't fear the enemy realm but I do acknowledge their existence. I have to. I have personally been in conflict against a high priestess of one of those ancient pagan goddesses. She was a powerful witch. She was the one that explain the relationship between astrology and the spiritual realm. Before that, I never gave astrology any thought. I just assumed it was nonsense.
As to what the pagan gods have to do with spirits and demons, well what do you thing the pagan gods were? The one still active are the offspring of fallen angels that had children. The spirits of their dead offspring are the rulers of the demoni realms. They are 'evil spirits'.
There were two groups of angels that interacted with man and had offspring. The first time was before the flood of Noah. The primary purpose of the flood was to kill those Nephilim offspring and the angels that sinned were cast into prison. Peter calls that prison Tartarus, ie the Greek part of Hades that is the prison of the Titans which the Olympians helped lock up in the age before the golden age of the gods.
The second group that fell into error did so after the flood so their descendants didn't get totally wiped out. That period ended at the tower of Babel. It was the four angels that had guarded Eden pre-flood. The Greeks called them Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and Hera. Their children that were born on earth are the ancient pagan gods. They are all dead and just evil spirits that rule over the realm of the spirits of the dead. The Christian individual known as Lucifer was just a reference to the Greek god Apollo.
Demons are just evil spirits. They are powerful ghosts. The most powerful of those spirits are the ghosts of the offspring of the angels. Now the four angels that were the source of the post-flood Nephilim are locked up 'under the Euphrates' and get let back out during the time of the tribulation to interact with man again.
Astrology is just the study of which spirits are active in the world during what time period. They rotate on a time-sharing basis as directed by the time intervals associated with sungod worship, ie Apollo.
Witchcraft is the worship of those high level spirits to get low level spirits to serve the witch. Of course, you probably don't believe in witchcraft either but I bet you never had a coven out to kill you like I have. The high priestess of Ashtoreth I knew years ago knew exactly who and what her 'goddess' was. She was a very high level priestess, the apprentice to become the next worldwide high priestess. She told me her goddess was the daughter of one of the four angels bound under the Euphrates that ruled during the time of Babel as the queen mother of Nimrod. She was known by many different names by different cultures of the ancient world. She was Isis to the Egyptians, both Artemis and Aphrodite to the Greeks, Astarte/Ashtoreth/Easter to the middle east. She was Kali to the hindu. Her celestrial symbols are both the moon and Venus. The moon under her persona of Artemis and Venus under the persona of Aphrodite. They were just different aspects of differing times in her life that were split into two different individuals in the Greek religion. The Romans later identified her as the same individual under the name Diana Luciferah, the twin sister of Lucifer, ie Pheobus Apollo. BTW, Lucifer is a Latin epitaph of the sungod equivalent to Pheobus in the Greek.
