astrology and the body

[madmoiselle]

What do you think are the connections between the Astrology in your natal chart and your body or health? I know that Rising Signs are said to colour your looks and body-type. But each sign rules a part of the body, right? I have all-ways read (and experienced) that these parts are the weakest. To you, are they the strongest? And should this be looked at your Rising Sign or Sun Sign? And what do the other parts of your natal chart affect your body or health?
I'm sorry for so many questions, lol, I just want your opinions and experiences.

There are many systems of astrological correspondences. They vary from one to another. Chinese, Vedic, Western, Hebrew traditions all have a body of astrological correspondences developed as part of their system. You may find some parts of them similar and some different. The law of 'everything' is still to be discovered


A few links to illustrate the above:

The first house includes your general health. so aspects to your Ascendant and chart ruler (ruler of the first) plus its sign and condition are a starting point. Aspects to and the condition of any other planets in the first will also give some indication of general health.

The sixth House is generally consulted regarding disease, and chronic ill health. The sign on the sixth cusp, the condition of it's ruler and asepects, etc would be taken into account. The correspondances of signs to body parts would be extremely relevant when looking at possible causes of ill health. Similarly planets also have correspondances to body parts or functions and these will also act as indicators when considering a health problem.

Thus if you have a badly aspected Saturn in the first or conjunct the Ascendant you might develop health problems related to bones or teeth or the skin (the body's container). If you look at the sixth and find that its cusp is in Capricorn, then problems with knees are probable.

However is better to cast a decumbiture chart (for the moment you took to your bed) and examine that, if you go down with an illness.
