For some signs, it's easy to find out — for Virgo, it has to be the feet — but for other signs it's kinda confusing. Like what would Aquarius represent? The abdomen, or the back?

Fagan made an excellent theoretical case for the assignments being exactly the opposite of the usual table that appears in most astrology books; that is, of Libra being the head rather than Aries. I casually saw numerous instances of this being true and then, when Dr. Margaret Millard's book on medical astrology came out in the late '70s or early '80s, I found that most examples strongly supported the Fagan model.

But it isn't uniform - you can find exceptions - and I think there may be reciprocity where, in some sense, Aries and Libra both correspond to the head. We haven't done nearly enough research on this.

Millard is an interesting astrological figure, by the way. I first knew her as a Siderealist. (I'm sure she began as a Tropicalist, and then moved to Sidereal.) She wrote quite a lot for Spica in the '70s. Then her book came out as a totally Tropical book (but it was easy enough to convert the charts to Sidereal, even though she didn't publish the birth data itself).

So, roughly, here would be the table:

Libra - head (where the organs of balance are located)
Scorpio - neck and throat
Sagittarius - shoulders, arms, bronchial passages, lungs
Capricorn - breasts, stomach
Aquarius - heart, circulatory system
Pisces - lower abdomen, navel, intestines, pancreas [I add that because of numerous pancreatic cancer cases with Pisces Moon]
Aries - buttocks, uterus
Taurus - genitals
Gemini - legs, especially thighs
Cancer - knees, joints in general
Leo - ankles and lower legs, but also low back
Virgo - feet

jamescondor wrote:Funny I saw this post because I was thinking about Sun signs and Chakras and how they might relate. In some Indian religions a chakra or wheel, cycle or circle is an energy centers of the body. See the connection to the zodiac-wheel, cycle, circle. I've read the 7 main chakras are root, sacrum, navel, heart, throat, third eye and crown. Hands and feet are considered energy points too and so can be added making 9 and so equal to zodiac signs.
After time I realize the difficulty in making this connection as parallel as possible. Allot of information on chakras and I'm trying to narrow them down into fundamentals. Chakras can be balanced more or less, over active or under active. I assume a balanced chakra is the fundamental essence the entire wheel, every sign. Under active is considered a lack of essence in sign. Over active is considered compensation for the under active. So overactive shows the sign. So take Gemini and Pisces. They tend to be nervous and fearful more than grounded, stable and secure. So they have an underactive root=-Root. Where as Taurus and Libra can be overactive in root leading to greed, and obsessed with security.

Root is about feeling grounded, stable and secure. Being physically here and now. Color red. Base of spine or taint. Reproductive organs?
Sacrum is about feelings flowing freely without being over emotional Creativity. Color orange. Reproductive organs? Kidneys? Idk
Navel is being assertive in a group, control, sound self esteem. Power center. Color yellow. Digestion and metabolism. Belly button area.
Heart is about love, compassion, harmony. Color green. Immune system.
Throat is about communication and healthy self expression. Color blue. Thyroid.
Third eye is about intuition, insight, visualization. Color violet. Pineal gland. Point between eye brows.
Crown is about inner wisdom. Consciousness. Awareness. Being one with the world. Pituitary gland. Top of head

Based on my connection with chakras:(subject to change)

Aries + Navel and throat -Sacral and -Heart
Taurus +Root and Heart, -Navel
Gemini +Throat. -Root, -Crown (+hands)
Cancer + Sacral, Third Eye and Root -Throat -Navel
Leo + Navel -Crown
Virgo +Crown -Sacral (+feet)
Libra + Root and Heart. -Navel, -Crown
Scorpio + Navel. -Heart
Sagittarius + Third Eye -Sacral
Capricorn +Root and Navel. -Heart, -Third Eye
Aquarius + Throat and Crown, -Navel and -Third Eye
Pisces+ Third Eye, Sacral and Heart -Root -Navel

Yes, I agree. I have a-lot of respect for my Doc, and when I first went to him pertaining to the weird things happening with my feet, he told me the doctoring profession does not really know the exact causes for ageing feet problems. With Virgo’s pertaining to unknown feet problems, it could be a way for a Virgo to know the body is signaling something is wrong—heath-wise. In my case, my feet problems definitely were a forerunner to my later discovered heart problems. I also think Doctors have their own strong suspicions with their patients with certain heath conditions—but remain silent---not to overly alarm a patient. It could be in my case; I am experiencing early heart signs for possibility a later diagnosed congenital heart ‘disease.’ We all gotta die of “something.”

Maybe I'm just making things up but doesn't Mercury rule speach? (Gemini).

Sagittal deals with the line that runs through the body splitting it in half. Leanardo DaVinci used it to diagram the brain. If you take a humans brain and split it down this way, the Broca's and Wernicke's Areas (that make speech interpretion and the ability to speak possible) aren't even there. Much like an arrow is about action not speech.

Back when tropical astrology was correct

they studied the medical issues of the signs, Capricorn has issues with the knees so I could see the point in where it's sister sign rules it but otherwise it seems like backward thinking...
