Do you want to say that you would like to use an existing font on your
system for those symbols? What about using XeTeX?
The following example is not very ConTeXt-ish, but it should work (if
you got the unicode glyph right):
\font\astro='name of your font with astro symbols or unicode font'
\def\neptune{{\astro ♆}}
\starttext
\neptune
\stoptext
