The Astrological Body
We are made of star stuff and there's a map for your own personal galaxy.
Just as the movement of the heavens was believed to influence the weather, so it was believed that it could influence human physiology. The set of correspondences between the human and the universe has become known by the shorthand "microcosm/macrocosm". Hearkening to Platonic ideas, the microcosm of the human body was thought to contain cosmic relationships of the macrocosm of the universe. Each part of the body was associated with astrological signs:
Aries: Head, eyes, adrenals, blood pressure.
Ta**us: Neck, throat, shoulders, ears.
Gemini: Lungs, nerves, arms, heads [sic], fingers.
Cancer: Chest wall, breasts, some body fluids.
Leo: Heart, spine, upper back, spleen.
Virgo: Abdomen, intestines, gallbladder, pancreas, liver.
Libra: Lower back, hips, kidneys, endocrines.
Scorpio: Reproductive organs, pelvis, urinary bladder, re**um.
Sagittarius: Thighs, legs.
Capricorn: Knees, bones, skin.
Aquarius: Ankles, blood vessels.
Pisces: Feet, some body fluids.

To map out imbalances of the body, giving us a visual tool to use for healing work.
In ritual and charm work, including sigils, matrix-making, and remote healing,
