Overview:

Medical astrology is an ancient medical system that associates various parts of the body, diseases, and
drugs as under the influence of the sun, moon, and planets, along with the twelve astrological signs.
After examining an individual's natal chart, a medical astrologer may give advice to the client about the
areas of the body in which they are most likely to experience trouble. For instance, an individual with the
Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or many planets in the sign of Aries is presumed to have more headaches than
other people because of the association of Aries with the head. A person with Taurus strong in the natal
chart is predicted to have many sore throats and problems with the voice because of the Taurean
association with that particular part of the body.
Medical astrology posits the association of each sign of the zodiac with parts of the body, as follows:
Aries - head, face, brain, eyes
Taurus - throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal tract
Gemini - arms, lungs, shoulders, hands, nervous system, brain
Cancer - chest, breasts, stomach, alimentary canal
Leo - heart, chest, spine, spinal column, upper back
Virgo - digestive system, intestines, spleen, nervous system
Libra - kidneys, skin, lumbar region, buttocks
Scorpio - reproductive system, sexual organs, bowels, excretory system
Sagittarius - hips, thighs, liver, sciatic nerve
Capricorn - knees, joints, skeletal system
Aquarius - ankles, calves, circulatory system
Pisces - feet, toes, lymphatic system, adipose tissue
The twelve signs cover the body from head (Aries) to toe (Pisces) because Aries is the first sign of the
zodiac while Pisces is the last.
The planets are also associated with certain portions and functions within the body:

Sun - heart, spine, and general vitality

Moon - stomach, digestive system, female organs, lymphatic system
Mercury - brain, central nervous system, thyroid gland, five senses, hands
Venus - throat, kidneys, thymus gland, sense of touch, ovaries
Mars - muscles, head, adrenal glands, senses of smell and taste
Jupiter - liver, thighs, feet, growth, pituitary gland
Saturn - skin, hair, teeth, bones, the body's defenses, spleen
Uranus - parathyroid gland, neural activity, aura
Neptune - pineal gland, psychic healing
Pluto - pancreas, metabolism, elimination
