I think you're spot on there Mo,
The imagery of the Egyptians reveals much as to the location, attributes, behaviour, etc. etc. of our planetary kings.
A few simple examples
The Sun (Re) was mainly perceived to sail the celestial Nile (adjacent to the terrestrial Nile) in his 'barque of millions of years.'
We can use the pace and the daily motion of the Sun as a measure.
If the monarchy are depicted sailing, then, this means they crossed the sky at roughly the same pace as the Sun. If they accompany Re in his boat, or adorned the common epithet 'beloved of Re' or 'chosen of Re' (very common with NK kings) I would guess they were near to, or as good as followed the path of the sun very closely.
If the king is shown seated on a throne, this implies a more or less stationary body, a body such as Mars in a geosynchronous orbit with earth. The actions portrayed should then give us a good idea as to what Mars was doing while seated on his divine throne. For example some images depict a seated Tutankhamun/Mars ('Lordly manifestation of Re') offering to his wife Ankhesenamun (wearing the comet Venus crown). As below.

Mars and Venus in conjunction. Comet Venus sucking volatiles from Tut/Mars in an almost stationary event.

Above is Tut/Mars and his wife Ankhesenamun/Venus taking a leisurely cruise on the celestial Nile amidst electrical spites (lotus flower). Mars and Venus in conjunction 'sailing' at roughly the same leisurely pace as the Sun.
Note Ankhesenamun offering lotus flowers (Sprites) to Tut, this reveals gigantic Sprites were once observed emanating from Venus, probably in the direction of Tut/Mars. Perhaps I should make a prediction and say sprites will one day be discovered discharging from Venus??
To my knowledge there seems to be a number of seated kings around the time of the Amarna Period. This would tie in with my time scale of the electromagnetic extraction of Mars' core to become the planet Mercury (7-8th century BC). Mars locking into orbit above the Himalayas, the larger magnet of earth sucking out the smaller magnet of Mars and dumping *hitloads of vaporized sand across Asia and Africa in the process. Forming one enormous iron-rich sand scar

If the king was shown fearlessly charging into the enemy in a chariot of gold and electrum. Then I would suggest that this was a planetary body obtaining a faster speed than the Sun, vanquishing up the countless tons of debris (enemy) in the process.
The iconic 'smiting' scenes where the pharaoh is depicted standing and in the act of dispatching the enemy, was Mars (or other bodies) appearing as good as stationary, battling up debris. Quite possible a siege (the accompanying text may reveal more).
If the king is shown offering to Harmakhet (Horus in the Horizon). This would be Mars literally appearing in the thick dusty band of earth's atmosphere (Horus being the embodiment of kingship - Horus, the protector of the gods). This occurred many times as Mars locked into orbit above the Himalayas. From the local of Egypt, this was Mars in (to us today, on) the horizon.
The kings offering to Hathor - Mars seemingly residing peacefully in earths rings (although in actuality, still battling itself to death). Offering to Isis, bodies residing within the ecliptic haze. Offering to Amun or accepting the sceptre from Amun equals Mars amidst an aurora dominated sky, and so on and so on.
Each image has to be taken on its own merit.
We also have to take into account a certain amount of symbolism.
I'll try and dig out a few more pyramid skirt images.
