Zodiac Signs & Parts of the Body in Medical Astrology
A complete medical reading will include the influences of the sun, moon, and rising signs identified in a person’s birth chart. As planets transit through the signs of the zodiac and the houses, they bring their influences to the body. But we can organize, from head to toe, some basic information and characteristics of the 12 sun signs.
1. Aries
Aries is associated with the planet Mars. It rules the head, eyes, face, brain, adrenal and suprarenal glands, and the pineal gland, or “third eye.” Aries folk are susceptible to head injuries, headaches such as migraine, sinus pressure, and eye problems. Exertion and anger can contribute to ill health, so Aries should seek balance and calm. Helpful tip: Give an Aries you know the stress-reducing pleasure of a head massage!
2. Taurus
The sign of the bull rules the neck, throat, ears, mouth, vocal tract, and thyroid gland. Taureans’ necks, strong or long, maybe a prominent physical feature. They often have vibrant, rich voices and musical leanings. Taurus may be prone to sore throats or neck strains. Overindulgence and a tendency to brood over troubles may be at the root of disease. This sign, as well as Libra, is associated with the planet Venus.
3. Gemini
The upper body, shoulders, airway, lungs, arms, hands, and nervous system are governed by this constellation, also known as the twins. Gemini is prone to carpal tunnel syndrome, anxiety, and lung diseases such as pneumonia, pleurisy, and asthma. Nervousness and restlessness are the basis of many ailments. Mercury, the planet of communication, co-rules Gemini and Virgo.
4. Cancer
The crab, associated with the mother goddess, rules the chest, breasts, alimentary canal, stomach, and upper liver. Both men and women with this sun sign may have well-developed chests. It is not uncommon for them to have digestive or weight issues. Cancer is intuitive, and emotional, and can cycle quickly through feelings influenced by the moon’s energy. Illness in this sign often originates in the emotions.
5. Leo
The lion, big-hearted, gregarious, and brave, rules the heart, spine, and upper back. Leo may have cardiovascular challenges like poor circulation or back pain due to over-exertion. When the sun, which rules the heart, is in Leo, watch for inflammatory conditions. Think of Leo as a lion's heart who must follow passion and joy for good health.
6. Virgo
Virgo rules the digestive system: intestine, pancreas, and spleen. It’s said that Virgos “go with their gut” in decision-making. Because of their instinctive intuition about their bodies, they are the most health-conscious of the signs. They can be picky about their diet and prone to diabetes, stomach acidity, and other digestive upsets. Planet: Mercury.
7. Libra
A good sense of balance is a characteristic of the sign of the scales. Libra rules the kidneys, skin, lumbar region, endocrine system, and buttocks. Associated with the planet Venus, Libra is conscious of beauty and positivity. Libras often stay youthful looking longer than other sun signs. Most disease arises from nervous exhaustion. Gift idea for Libra: soft, silky lotion.
8. Scorpio
Known as the sexiest sign, Scorpio rules the reproductive system, genitals, bowels, and blood. Interestingly, Scorpio also rules over the nose, detecting the subtle pheromones of sexual attraction. This intuitive sign is known for its ability to transform and regenerate. Scorpio was traditionally ruled by Mars, the planet of action, passion, focus, assertion/aggression, and sexuality. Many modern astrologers consider Pluto, the planet of power, depth, loss, and transformation, a co-associate.
9. Sagittarius
The archer rules the sciatic nerve, hips, thighs, pituitary gland, and lower liver. Sports injuries tend to beset these restless and energetic explorers, so be sure to stretch before heading out on that hike. Because of the association with the liver, Sagittarians should limit sugary drinks and alcohol. Watch for gout, rheumatism, sciatica, and accidents. Your workouts pay off in gorgeous gams. Jupiter is your planet of luck and wisdom.
10. Capricorn
The sea goat is linked to the knees, joints, skeletal system, and teeth. A tendency toward fractures and knee injuries means those born under this sign should get plenty of calcium. Disciplined Capricorn’s affinity with hierarchical organizations and structure is echoed in the protective function of the skeleton. Ruled by restrictive and melancholy Saturn, Capricorn’s ills are often rooted in inhibitions. Helpful tip: Ask before you hug a Capricorn.
11. Aquarius
The water-bearer rules the joints, circulatory system, calves, and ankles. Aquarians may suffer from varicose veins or injuries to the lower extremities, especially the Achilles tendon. Glucosamine, fish oil, and turmeric help with joint health. Uranus and Saturn rule together in Aquarius. Because this sign has a highly sensitive nature, nerves can be a root cause of illness.
12. Pisces
Before Neptune was discovered, Jupiter ruled Pisces, so this association is literally up in the air! The feet, toes, lymphatic system, and body fat are associated with the sign of the fish. Avoid bunions and callouses with well-fitting shoes. Warm socks will deter the colds and flu Pisces is prone to. In appearance, sensitive Pisces may have soft, fleshy faces. They need to guard against obesity as they age. Self-care tip: Take a walk, then enjoy a foot massage.

5. Jupiter: Jupiter is linked to growth, expansion, and prosperity. It rules the liver, pancreas, and fat in the body. A strong Jupiter can promote good health and a strong metabolism, whereas a weak Jupiter might cause issues related to the liver or obesity.
