Body Parts Ruled by Zodiac Signs (Astrology Explained)
Astrology doesn’t just describe your personality but it also connects to your body!
The idea that each zodiac sign corresponds to a part of the body dates back to Greco-Roman astral science. This practice, later called iatromathematics (“medical astrology”), became part of the wider Hellenistic worldview where the cosmos, the gods, and the human body were seen as deeply interconnected.
Regardless of your personal beliefs about astrology, using it as a symbolic language can open new ways of listening to the body. This can become a supportive tool in health-related divination readings. It can help us to notice patterns of where imbalance shows up and what astrological themes may be connected.
If you prefer for this practice to be less literal, it can also be used simply as a reflective practice. Knowing these body parts can aide in understanding how your personal astrology may highlight certain vulnerabilities or strengths in the body.
Whether taken literally or metaphorically, this system can be a powerful mind-body-spirit framework for greater self-awareness.
