Your idea is solid though do not get me wrong. It just doesn't get me the feel I was looking for. I want Mneysmone (Memory and in some circles mother of the muses) and the Muses to be and feel important in the game. At least to this worlds version of elves.

Even if it's not planetary correspondences, you could still break things down according to the Olympians and some other major figures, supposing that the Muses and Mnemosyne exist in that context with the Muses associated with Apollo.

Apollo - light, the arts, knowledge, archery, disease and healing, prophecy and divination
- each Muse represents a different mode of spellcasting, and specifically of divination or predestination
- Mnemosyne is patroness of the art of memory, and along with Clio, gathering knowledge of the past
- other subsidiary paths associated with Apollo could be those of Orpheus and Asclepius and his daughters
- have the elves be generally devotees of Apollo and Mnemosyne and her daughters, possibly having the story be that Apollon Mousagetes rather than Zeus is their father as well, or that he's the husband of all of them, with children by ones other than Calliope, Orpheus' mom

Artemis - hunting and tracking, virginity and fertility and childbirth, disease and healing (particularly of pregnancy), wild animals, wilderness - another group of elves could be more closely aligned with her

and so on for Dionysos, Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hestia, Athena, and any others not part of the Dodekatheon you deem important enough or to fill a gap in coverage - maybe Hecate, maybe Helios as distinct from Apollo, maybe Gaea in her own right. That should be enough different paths to cover all bases.
