The concept of the work is astrological rather than astronomical (which is why Earth is not included)because earth is here, which would not be studying and interpreting the universe throughout his musical pieces. Also Pluto was not discovered until 1930.

During Gustav Holst's lifetime (1874-1934), significant events included World War I, the sinking of the RMS Titanic, and the establishment of international organizations like the League of Nations. Inventions that emerged during this time included the radio, the airplane, and the first moving assembly line by Henry Ford.
"Mars, the Bringer of War" is the first movement in Gustav Holst's orchestral suite, "The Planets." It is a powerful and aggressive piece of music that captures the idea of war and conflict through its driving rhythms and intense melodies. Holst drew inspiration from the Roman god of war, Mars, for this movement.
"Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" is one of the movements from Holst's 'The Planets' suite. It is known for its majestic and celebratory qualities, often depicting the joy and vitality associated with the Roman god Jupiter.
In the original suite by Holst, there are seven movements: Mars, the Bringer of War; Venus, the Bringer of Peace; Mercury, the Winged Messenger; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity; Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; Uranus, the Magician; and Neptune, the Mystic. The movements are ordered in the planets' increasing distances from Earth. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, Holst did not write a movement for it. However, in 2000, Collin Matthews was hired to write a movement for Pluto. He named it "Pluto, the Renewer". Now that Pluto is no longer a planet, the suite is once again complete.

Gustav Holst was inspired to write The Planets when he was introduced to the concept of astrology by Clifford Bax. Each suite was first scored as a piano duet, with the exception of Neptune, and then scored as a full piece for orchestra accompaniment.
