Artemis (Apollo's twin sister) is the goddess of the moon, but sometimes a Titaness called Selene is refered to as "the moon." I don't know who is the ruler/god of the planets, but I hope this answered the majority of your question.

Artemis as the Olympian goddess (rather then a Titan as the two previous were) with a tie to Apollo, a widely regarded sun god - or god of light of the sun; she was then associated with the moon because such deities as sun and moon were often siblings, though Artemis and Apollo were the only twins of such nature. Mythology makes sense of this as it's in her bloodline, for her grandmother was Phoebe, the first Titan moon goddess.

Apollo and Artemis are associated with the second generation of Olympian deities, for all that their mother was the Titan goddess Leto.As the Titans lost, many Olympian deities became the new representation of the roles of the previous Titan gods and goddesses. So it was with Artemis being associated with Selene, and Apollo with Helios; who was the brother of Selene, as was fitting then being that Artemis and Apollo were twins.
