excerpt from The Body-Sign Connection
ARIES rules the head, eyes, face, upper jaw, and carotid arteries. Mars, the ruler of Aries, rules fevers, inflammation of the auditory canals, gums and nasal passages. Mars also has dominion over the basal metabolism, muscle tone, and muscular strength and speed. Natives of Aries, more than any other sign, need to guard against stress, and they should avoid pushing themselves too hard when exercising.
TAURUS governs the neck, ears, throat, and thyroid gland. Venus, the ruler of Taurus, maintains the beauty of the eyes, skin and hair, and she also rules the lymph nodes and sugar metabolism. Taurus natives love good food, and often this penchant can lead to a problem with weight and all the associated complications.
GEMINI rules the lungs, trachea, bronchial tubes, arms, hands, shoulders, fingers, and the sympathetic nervous system. Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, has dominion over the nervous system and the impulses that create all activities involving the nerves. Geminis can operate for hours or even days on sheer nervous energy, not eating or sleeping - and that can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome. Slow down!
CANCER is lord of the chest, stomach, esophagus, diaphragm, and the left side of the body. The Moon, ruler of Cancer, controls the collection of waste and the balance of fluids and also regulates the hormones. The Moon controls the emotions as well. Cancers often suffer from stomach problems, usually due to improper diet. If you're a Cancer, rich and spicy foods are not for you.
LEO is primarily associated with the heart. Leo also rules the upper back, spine, spinal cord, and the thymus gland. The Sun, ruler of Leo, controls the heart function and one's basic vital energy. Leos, more than any other sign, need to look out for their hearts. If you're a Leo, you love rich, fatty food, but alas! You need to strictly avoid it. Even on special occasions, don't go crazy with it.
VIRGO controls the intestines, solar plexus, and abdomen, as well as the parasympathetic nervous system. Mercury, as ruler of Virgo, relates to the lower digestive tract and its processes. Virgos tend to be hypochondriacs, and the emotional stress, ironically, could cause upsets in the lower digestive tract. Watch your diet, Virgo, and don't freak out over every little twinge.
LIBRA manages the kidneys, adrenal glands, skin, and the lower back. Venus, as ruler of Libra, hints at an imbalance of the functions of the excretory system, as well as with the blood sugar and the circulation. Libras need to be sure they drink enough water – at least the recommended eight glasses a day. They also need to keep their consumption of alcohol to a minimum.
SCORPIO is lord of the bladder, urethra, reproductive system, colon, and sweat glands. As ruler of Scorpio, Pluto rules infections of any kind, but especially infections involving the organs cited above. It's important for Scorpios to avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking, alcohol, and drugs, and they especially need to watch their diets.
SAGITTARIUS dominates the hips and thighs, the sciatic nerve, and the liver. Jupiter, as ruler of Sagittarius, regulates the blood circulation and the liver functions, as well as the fat metabolism and cellular nutrition. Needless to say, Sagittarians should monitor their alcohol intake closely and shouldn't indulge in a lot of fatty foods. And it's important that they get a lot of exercise.
CAPRICORN rules the bones, joints, and connective tissue, as well as the knees, hair, nails, and teeth. Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, can cause restriction of bodily functions, hardening of the tissues, and devitalizing of the entire organism. Capricorns should watch their diets like hawks, and while they should exercise, they need a gentle approach, like walking, yoga, or tai chi.
AQUARIUS is associated with rare illnesses and nervous conditions. It also rules blood circulation and the internal oxidation process. Aquarius is also associated with the calves and ankles and the valves of the heart. Uranus, as ruler of Aquarius, is associated with spasms, broken bones, sudden illnesses, and anything strange or extraordinary. Aquarians need to avoid taking chances – although risk-taking is part of their nature.
PISCES often encounters diseases that are difficult to diagnose or cure. It is primarily concerned with the feet and toes, as will as the spleen and the lymphatic system. Neptune, as ruler of Pisces, can induce depression and thus can lead to alcoholism or drug use. For this reason, Fishes should learn meditation - one of the few ways you can escape the world without damaging your body.
