I think each of the major divinities in every culture I have investigated
can be linked to the sun, moon, or the five visible planets -with the
addition of the Northern Circumpolar Region.

What about Daoism, Bouddhism ?
I cannot see a single planet or star here.

Mitra is a 'sun-god'; Varuna is connected with Venus; Rudra is connected
with Mars, Bhaga is connected with Jupiter, etc.

This is completely taken out of nowhere.
You haven't understood a single line of Dumezil.
