Your Astrological Sign and What Ails You

I’ve always believed in medical astrology, which puts forth an association between each sign of the zodiac and parts of the body. Marcus Manilius mentioned it first in his 8000 verse poem, Astronomica, written in the 1st century AD.

Pisces is feet, and mine have hurt for 55 years. Lately it’s a searing baby toe, and my podiatrist said he’ll cut the tendon. An easy operation, says his nurse, as I scream inside. Every visit, I beg the doc to do a survey on how many of his patients are Pisces, but I can’t get him interested.

In case you’re wondering, here is your info, from head (Aries) to toe (Pisces).

Aries: head, face, brain, eyes. Taurus: throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal tract. Gemini: arms, lungs, shoulders, hands, nervous system. 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, circulatory system. Pisces: feet, toes, lymphatic system, adipose tissue.


So there you are. It’s sort of like 23&Me. Now let me go check out what adipose means.
