Signs and the Body
This lesson describes symbolic associations found in medical astrology. The table records traditional ideas for studying astrology texts; it does not identify the cause of a disease or tell you whether someone is ill. A birth chart is not a diagnostic test.

Study exercise: pick one association and record the astrology text it comes from. Keep that symbolic association separate from a medical explanation.
For a health concern, seek a qualified health professional. Do not use this table to diagnose an illness, choose treatment or delay care. For example, diabetes is diagnosed using medical tests, not planetary positions. How diabetes is diagnosed — NIDDK
