Caduceus represents Hermes (Mercury) and so represents planet Mercury. It's also a symbol of medicine and sometimes commerce, and is the sign you usually see next to a pharmacy's name.
It's use in medicine was a mistake made by confusion with the rod of Asclepius, a rod with a single snake wrapping around it as opposed to the two intertwining snakes wrapped around the rod as with the Caduceus.
