I found this information on Wikip...Hello everybody.<br />I found this information on Wikipedia about Medical Astrology, it might be of your interest.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_astrology<br /><br />Medical astrology (traditionally known as Iatromathematics) 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. Each of the astrological signs (along with the sun, moon, and planets) is associated with different parts of the human body. The underlying basis for medical astrology, astrology itself, is considered to be a pseudoscience or superstition as there is no scientific basis for its core beliefs<br /><br />Medical astrology posits the association of each sign of the zodiac with parts of the body, as follows:<br /><br />Aries - head, face, brain, eyes<br />Taurus - throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal tract<br />Gemini - arms, lungs, shoulders, hands, nervous system, brain<br />Cancer - chest, breasts, stomach, alimentary canal<br />Leo - heart, chest, spine, spinal column, upper back<br />Virgo - digestive system, intestines, spleen, nervous system<br />Libra - kidneys, skin, lumbar region, buttocks<br />Scorpio - reproductive system, sexual organs, bowels, excretory system<br />Sagittarius - hips, thighs, liver, sciatic nerve<br />Capricorn - knees, joints, skeletal system<br />Aquarius - ankles, calves, circulatory system<br />Pisces - feet, toes, lymphatic system, adipose tissue<br /><br />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. When the Sun passes from Pisces to Aries on or around March 21, the Vernal equinox occurs, which marks the beginning of a new tropical year. Many astrologers celebrate their New Year when the Sun transits over this point, which is also known as the First Point of Aries.<br /><br />According to Marcus Manilius (1st century AD) in his epic poem (8000 verses) Astronomica, the signs of the zodiac preside over the parts of the body as follows:<br /><br />Aries -- the head<br />Taurus -- the neck and throat<br />Gemini -- the lungs, arms, and shoulders<br />Cancer -- the chest, breasts, and stomach<br />Leo -- the heart and upper back<br />Virgo -- the abdomen and digestive system<br />Libra -- the kidneys and lumbar region<br />Scorpio -- the genitals<br />Sagittarius -- the hips and thighs<br />Capricorn -- the knees and bones<br />Aquarius -- the calves, shins, and ankles<br />Pisces -- the feet<br /><br />For Manilius' associations between body parts and the planets, see Planets in astrology<br /><br />The planets are also associated with certain portions and functions within the body:<br /><br />Sun - heart, spine, and general vitality<br />Moon - stomach, digestive system, female organs, lymphatic system<br />Mercury - brain, central nervous system, thyroid gland, five senses, hands<br />Venus - throat, kidneys, thymus gland, sense of touch, ovaries<br />Mars - muscles, head, adrenal glands, senses of smell and taste<br />Jupiter - liver, thighs, feet, growth, pituitary gland<br />Saturn - skin, hair, teeth, bones, the body's defenses, spleen<br />Uranus - parathyroid gland, neural activity, aura<br />Neptune - pineal gland, psychic healing<br />Pluto - pancreas, metabolism, elimination<br /><br />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.Carlos Fernández ૐhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391491695864372870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23416839.post-8384952410276829042011-12-08T07:21:14.264+00:002011-12-08T07:21:14.264+00:00Hi Joyce,

Here's a few reasons why...<br /><br />* I'm a Taurus and have had ongoing throat/tonsil issues ever since I was a child. I'm 31 now.<br /><br />* My boyfriend, a Cancer, is huge fan of large breasts (blush) however I'm not aware of any stomach issues except he can't drink apple juice because it doesn't sit well with him (that's an understatement)<br /><br />* My brother, Aquarius, has fabulous calf muscles everyone is jealous of.<br /><br />* My sister, Scorpio, has unfortunately had a recent medical scare of the region Scorpio rules.<br /><br />I'll have to say, the people back in the 15th century were definitely onto something. I'm going to read up more on this.

But here's the link to the page of the API(UK) website which gives the dates the 12 zodiac signs: <BR/><BR/>http://www.api-uk.org/whatis_signs.htm<BR/><BR/>With these, and the chart of the body parts (and poem) on my posting you should be able to work it out.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy that sauerkraut!<BR/><BR/>JoyceJoyce Hopewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167269954634839264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23416839.post-2154349177364891722008-10-29T18:54:00.000+00:002008-10-29T18:54:00.000+00:00Hi Joyce,I stumbled upon this site looking for zod...Hi Joyce,<BR/>I stumbled upon this site looking for zodiac signs for canning sauerkraut. My Grandmother always insisted that you must process kraut in the body signs of the head, neck, shoulders and chest. Never in any sign lower than the stomach. My problem is...I can't find a chart, even in the Farmer's Almanac that tells these body signs in each month. Can you help direct me to a usable annual chart?<BR/>It is Oct. 29th and I have bought fresh cabbage to make kraut but I want to make sure of the signs.<BR/>Thanks for your help.<BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23416839.post-16450942943324305802007-11-12T12:01:00.000+00:002007-11-12T12:01:00.000+00:00Hi Barbara,Yes, I know exactly what you mean about...Hi Barbara,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I know exactly what you mean about the fluttering upset tum!

I remember all those Sun sign guides always included a part about the body area that was ruled by one's sun sign.<BR/>I find it to be pretty true; I have an Aqaurain hubby who always says his ankles are fragile ( he bumps into things or twists one); my Dad-in-law is an Aries, and will always be fascinated with the "head"; "be careful not to hit your head", he often warns while we do handiwork.He also adores hats, and looks great in them !<BR/><BR/>And myself ? I get butterflys or upset stomach when irked. Like yourself, a Virgo.<BR/><BR/>See you soon ;)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717159905482468936noreply@blogger.com
