THE ASTROLOGICAL MAN

by Laura Poggiani  

Each one of zodiacal signs dominates a precise part of the body, so it tends to suffer more easily specific pathologies. However, it is more correct to talk about "axis" because the most delicate part is always designed both by the organs a given sign dominates and by the ones dominated by the opposite sign. For example, Scorpio dominates the reproductive apparatus and although it is the really vulnerable part of Scorpio, it is often the throat, which is dominated by the opposite Taurus, to be pathologically more sensitive.
 
 

   ARIES

The first zodiacal sign rules the first two cervical vertebrae and the head in general. The native are so exposed to both possible nervous break-downs and to panic attacks. It is an energetic sign, able to reprise fast but aggressive and releasing, thus being a prey to accidents and injuries mostly at the head. It also tends to follow frenetic rhythms bringing it to diversify its energies toward different directions, provoking a rapid yielding of psycho-physical health.

As a reflex from the opposite Libra, troubles to kidney and bladder are likely to occur. 

Its mineral salt is "Phosphate of Potassium" (Kali Phosphoricum), aimed to rebuild cerebral cells and to simplify the correct emission of impulses to the nervous system. 

This mineral salt is commonly present in onions, radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, celery and walnuts, but it is necessary to eat these aliments not cooked, because the heat and the cooking eliminate or alter this precious salt. 
 
 

TAURUS

The second Zodiacal Sign is strictly related to the neck, the throat, and to the III, IV, V, and VI vertebrae. According to Mopurgo, Taurus is also lined to the sight, just like the planet Jupiter, which finds here its highest exaltation. To tell the truth, it seems that the Author refers to the "sight" in a wider way (hence the relation with photography), rather than to its likely pathologies, for which, after all, there’s no case history of any author as well. 

Among the pathologies related to this sign there’s also the tendency to stiff neck, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, polypus to vocal chords, thyroid derangement, cervical arthrosis and so on.

For a reflective action on the complementary sign of Scorpio, it is possible to find also kidney pain, and genital-urinary or anal-rectal diseases. 

The "Sodium Phosphate" (Natrum Sulphuricum) is the Mineral Salt this Sign needs most. Its function in the organism is to keep under control the water restrain and to eliminate some toxins accumulated during the pancreatic work. 

This Salt can be found in brown seaweed, thistles, cabbages, onions, pumpkins, radishes.
 
 

GEMINI

The main characteristics of this Sign are the capability to communicate and social contacts which give strength both to the ready speech and the hearing. Therefore it is related to two very important systems of the human body: the nervous one and the respiratory one. Every astrologer agrees to attribute this Sign also shoulders and arms (except for the elbow), as well as the last cervical vertebra and the first two thorax ones. 

The physical strength is not overwhelming but, on the contrary, the nervous one is so, in fact these subjects often do many things simultaneously. The continuous seek for knowledge, and the constant engagement of a great deal of nervous energy and excessive attention produce, in long terms, possible depressions, nervous tics, derangement.

The mineral salt of the Sign is the "potassium chloride" (kalium cloratum), whose aim is to help the spleen and the pancreas to work properly, as well as to revitalize body fibers by using the fibrine, a fundamental protein to blood coagulation. It is also useful to care some respiratory troubles and the gland enlargement. Alimentary sources: carrots, cabbages, French beans, plums and celery.
 
 

CANCER

People having this combination usually have a delicate physique, also related to their extremely sensitive and unstable psychology, which tends to somatize every tension most of all on digestion as well as on the thorax, the breast and the IV and V thorax vertebra.

The tendency to restrain liquids in tissues, combined with the love for sweets, can make appear cellulitis, fat, obesity, abundant sweat on hands and feet and weak muscles. According to the tradition, this Sign is also related to the left eye, ovaries, uterus and to some weakness toward infective diseases. 

The Mineral Salt of this Sign is the "Calcium Floride" (Calcarea fluorica), whose function is to produce and make elastic connective tissues, the bone and tooth enamel. Its presence in the organism stimulates the production of the parathyroid hormone PTH.

Alimentary sources are rye, onions, Savoy cabbage, yogurt, yolks. 
 
 

LEO

Generally this Sign has a god health and its physic nature is solid, well balanced and resisting. Anatomically speaking, however, it is related to the heart functions, the backbone, the forearm up to the wrist and corresponds to the VI, VII, and VIII thorax vertebra.

Because of its relation with the heart, this Sign expand its domain also on circulation and muscles and organs related to it, determining disposition to circulatory and cardiovascular troubles.

According to the Tradition, shoulder, backbone and sight troubles are also possible (in particular, the Sign is related to the right eye).

The Mineral salt of the Sign is the "Magnesium Phosphate" (Magnesium Phosphoricum) and its task is to help the nervous system to work properly, to invigorate muscles and the bone structure, to produce albumin (a protein with fluidifying effects on blood).

Alimentary sources of this salt are: sea weeds, onions, cucumbers, lettuce, almonds, apples, plums, bilberry and walnuts. 
 
 

   VIRGO

This is certainly one of the weaker Signs of Zodiac and its analogy with the VI sector of the Zodiac, related to health, pushes the natives, maybe for a kind of compensation, toward diets, hygiene and therapies, mostly concerning alternative medicine. From an anatomic point of view, it rules the lower abdomen, the navel, intestines, the hand and its fingers (like Mopurgo underlined), as well as the IX and the X thorax vertebrae.

Tending to try exotic and macrobiotic foods, it intensifies its nervous temper with inhibitions and controls or, as for compensation, with releases and abandons involving mostly intestine functions.

Finally we recall that the Virgo and the cosignificant House VI are, according to Discepolo, strictly related to sight diseases.

The Mineral Salt of the Sign is the "Potassium Phosphate" (Kalium Sulphuricum), whose function is to rule lipid assimilation and distribution and to enable the passage of oxygen through the skin cells.

Alimentary sources are: sea oak, chicory, almonds, full maize flour, wholemeal bread. 
 
 

LIBRA

This Sign too has a general good psycho-physical health because it tries to avoid all excess, which are the main cause of lacks of balance and diseases. Usually its physic is well built, the skin is colorful, and the movements are harmonic. It rules the kidney apparatus and the lumbar region as well as the XI and XII thorax vertebrae.

Often the venous system is rather weak and the great gluttony predisposing to diabetes. For a reflected action on the opposite Sign of Aries, sometimes insomnia and migraine can occur.

The Mineral Salt of the Sign is the "Sodium Phosphate" (Natrium Phosphoricum), whose function is to keep the acid-basic balance by ruling the excess of acidity. Moreover, it makes easier to eliminate dross.

Alimentary sources are wholemeal rice, carrots, almonds, apples, and strawberries.
 
 

SCORPIO

This zodiacal Sign is related to the death and rebirth, while its dominators, mars and Pluto, represent the phallus and the seminal liquid respectively. This is why the tradition and all contemporary astrologers refer to Scorpio the ruling of elimination and reproduction organs, as genitals and the urinary system.

The Tradition places Scorpio among Signs provoking "difficulties" and so the one it features, despite of a great personal charm, often has particularly important physical or moral disabilities, or lead a life marked by troubles and surgeries of some weight.

For reflex on the opposite sign of Taurus, it is easy to catch infective illnesses whose contagion occurs by nasal ducts and the throat.

With its symbols, this Sign expresses very well the bio-energetic concept Lowen declared, according to which man charges energy from the head and discharges it from sexual organs. Thus pathologies occurs as this energetic flow is obstructed in whatever point of the body, interrupting the free course.

The Mineral Salt of the Sign is the "Calcium Sulphate" (Calcarea Sulfurica), whose function is to rebuild epithelial tissues, to help the body metabolism and to increase the natural resistance to illnesses.
 
 

  SAGITTARIUS

Also this Sign has a generally good health. It is physically exuberant, loves sport and life in open spaces, which confer a well-developed musculature and an athletic body.

The joyful, optimistic and friendly temper is expressed by a strong appetite, which leads unavoidably to some overweight. Possible diseases are caused by excesses, which can provoke congestion and liver complaints, gall-stones and spleen diseases.

This Sign rules the liver, thighs, and the pituitary gland, regulating the hormone production and the body growth.

We also noticed that the natural attraction of this Sign for the farther, the exotic, and excess leads to be attracted also by drugs, as well as the other Sign Neptune rules: Pisces.

The Mineral Salt of this Sign is the Silica Oxide (Silicea) whose function is to thermally isolate, and to make easier the body heat restrain in tissues. Reservations of this substance are in bones, connective tissues of the brain, in the protective sheaths of nerves and pancreas. It is very useful to fortify damaged or fractured bones. 

Alimentary sources are laminar seaweed, wholemeal rice, the skin of vegetables and fruit (strawberries, cherries, plums).
 
 

CAPRICORN

Related to the skeleton and to bones, this Sign has a physical resistance and, no matter how delicate and sickly it can be, gets stronger as years go by, so to attain some longevity.

Besides the skeleton, this Sign rules also knees, teeth, and the venous circulation.

Toothache, arthritic and rheumatic phenomena, sprains, fractures, and damages are the most frequent troubles.

Skin Impurities during adolescence are likely to occur because of somatizing and the reluctance to accept one’s own physical look.

The Mineral Salt of the Sign is the "Calcium Phosphate" (Calcarea phosphorica), whose function is to use albumin to save and develop bones and to make stronger the damaged or injured tissues. It is a component of the saliva and the gastric substances.

Alimentary sources are Savoy cabbages, spinach, lentils, beans, celery, almonds, egg yolks, wholemeal bread, plums, strawberries, blueberries, laminar seaweed, and brown seaweed.
 
 

AQUARIUS

This is an easily communicating and discretely self-controlled Sign, as well as vital and physically resistant. Yet it is exposed to unforeseen diseases, which can determine behavioral changes with consequent affections which are hard to discover and to be cared by unusual or avantgarde therapies, as pranotherapy, magnetotherapy, lasertherapy, homeopathy, acupuncutre, herbs, chromotherapy, and so on.

Traditionally this Sign is related to calves and ankles, to cardiac arhythmics originated by stimulus occurring at the base of the right atrium, in a point of the miocardic tissue known as "knot of Keith and Flack". 

Also according to our personal experience, the relation Aquarius-circulation is undoubted, and its effects on the heart can be even disastrous, being this organ related to the diametrically opposite Sign.

Furthermore, we noticed, by a specially dedicated study, a certain relation between this Sign, Uranus and the House XI (cosignificant of Aquarius), and the nervous over-excitability (neurons) of the cerebral cortex pathologies like epilepsy are based upon.

The Mineral Salt of the Sign is the "Sodium Chloride (Natrium Muriaticum), whose function in the organism is to check and distribute water, gathering it mostly along the intestinal ducts. Moreover, it stimulates some liver functions and enables nutritive elements to penetrate cells by a process of osmosis allowing a fluid exchange between the inside of cells and their external surface.

Alimentary sources are sea salt, cabbages, spinach, celery, carrots, radishes, lentils, fish, strawberries, apples. 
 
 

PISCES

This Sign is traditionally frail, mostly on the psychical point of view, with a great emotionality and sensitiveness, whose pathologies are usually due to altered moods, frequent stress, unjustified anxieties, negatively influencing the functioning of the whole organism.

The Tradition wants this Sign to rule feet and the toes. 

The tendency to excessively worry about one’s own health, stressing all symptoms of an ailment or forecasting some catastrophe from a banal flu, is in addition to be easily influenced and to self commiseration. The temperamental weakness can lead to alcohol addiction, tobacco addiction, drug addiction or general addictions.

Its Mineral Salt if the Iron "Phosphate" (Ferrum Phosphoricum), whose function is to oxygenate tissues through the blood circulation. 

Alimentary sources are: brown seaweed, lettuce, strawberries, radishes, cucumbers, almonds, walnuts, spinach, beans.
