Basically, in medical astrology, it is strongly believed that every astrological signs and planets are connected with the various parts of the human body. Same as with the many diseases and the possible cures or treatments as herbs. Herbs, for the record, are considered to be in a certain kind of “influence” by some well known powerful planets.

The Signs and Body Parts Relationship

Medical astrology has been strongly established on the basis of signs and body parts relationship. Generally, below is the exact association of the signs with the various parts of the human body.

• Aries with the brain, head, face, and eyes
• Taurus with the thyroid gland, vocal tract, throat, and neck
• Gemini with the nervous system, brain, arms, lungs, shoulders, and hands
• Cancer with the alimentary canal, chest, breasts, and stomach
• Leo with the heart, chest, upper back, spine, and spinal column
• Virgo with the nervous system, digestive system, intestines, and spleen
• Libra with the lumbar region, buttocks, kidneys, and skin
• Scorpio with the excretory system, reproductive system, sexual organs, and bowels
• Sagittarius with the sciatic nerve, hips, thighs, and liver
• Capricorn with the skeletal system, knees, and joints
• Aquarius with the calves, circulatory system, and ankles
• Pisces with the lymphatic system, adipose tissue, feet, and toes

Signs Presiding Over Some Body Parts

Historically, the twelve zodiac signs preside over some body parts. According to a roman poet, astrologer, and author of a poem in five books called Astronomica – Marcus Manilius, the presiding of the twelve zodiac signs over some body parts goes as follows:

• Aries over the head
• Taurus over the throat and neck
• Gemini over the lungs, shoulders, and arms
• Cancer over the breasts, chest, and stomach
• Leo over the heart and upper back
• Virgo over the abdomen and digestive system
• Libra over the lumbar region and kidneys
• Scorpio over the genitals
• Sagittarius over the hips and thighs
• Capricorn over the knees and bones
• Aquarius over the shins, calves, and ankles
• Pisces over the toe or feet

In whatever relationship or connection being implied, signs-body parts or signs over some body parts, it is always the head that is typically associated with the sign Aries and the feet for Pisces.

Well, this is not that surprising as the head is the first part of the body whenever starting from the top and Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, while the toe on the other hand, is the last dominant part of the body and Pisces in return is the last sign of the zodiac.

The Planets and Body Parts/Functions Relationship

The planets, just like the twelve zodiac signs, are also associated with some parts of the human body, at times even with some functions. Like the association of signs with body parts, the association of the planets with some of the body parts and/or functions is also of paramount importance in medical astrology.

Below is actually the exact association of the planets with the various parts of the human body and/or functions.

• Sun with vitality, the heart and spine
• Moon with the digestive system, stomach, lymphatic system, and female organs
• Mercury with brain, central nervous system, thyroid gland, hands, and five senses
• Venus with the sense of touch, ovaries, throat, kidneys, and thymus gland
• Mars with the adrenal glands, senses of smell and taste, muscles, and head
• Jupiter with the pituitary gland, liver, thighs, feet, and growth
• Saturn with body’s defenses, spleen, skin, hair, teeth, and bones

The Interpretations

Associations and connections of the twelve zodiac signs and planets with the various body parts are usually used to predict what type of illness or disease will usually take place in a particular individual. Like for example, an individual with the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or many planets in the sign of Aries will be assumed to have more headaches compared to other people because merely of the association of Aries with the head.

Also goes the same with a Leo individual, he or she will be presumed to experience more upper back aches compared to other individuals because merely of the association of Leo with the upper back.
