This Is The Body Part Most Connected To Your Zodiac Sign

Every zodiac sign has a body part. What?

Yes. In ancient astrology, it was believed there was a connection between every body part and a zodiac sign and that with it, you can feel pain or a sensation in that area. For example, Virgo rules the digestive system and so, might be more susceptible to digestive and bowel problems, food intolerances, and anxiety. As a Virgo Sun with IBS, lactose intolerance, and anxiety, this was incredibly fascinating to find out.

So let’s dive into the body part that connects with your zodiac sign:

Aries

Head and Eyes.

If you’re an Aries, you know that you’re incredibly headstrong and hotheaded. (Think of the Ram, your animal, who fights with its head.) Oftentimes, you act first and think later — you’re impulsive and bold in that way. You might find that you’re susceptible to headaches or a tired mind, but if not, you’re someone who needs to meditate no matter what. You should get into meditation if you don’t already.

Taurus

Neck and Shoulders.

You slouch when you’re feeling bad and you sit up tall when you feel confident. So when life gets stressful, you tend to harbor it in your neck and shoulders. When you find that they’re especially hurting, stretch, treat yourself to a massage, or take a hot Epsom salt bath. Self-care, Taurus. If there’s one thing you love, it’s pampering yourself.

Gemini

Arms, Lungs, Hands, and Nervous System.

Geminis are “the twins”, which is fitting for you to be ruling things come in pairs: the lungs, arms, and hands. You love communicating, which makes sense as to why you rule the lungs and hands (sign language). You might find that you can be nervous at times too, especially when you’re not doing anything — don’t listen to those negative thoughts. Just breathe.

Cancer

Chest, Breasts, and Stomach.

As a Cancer, you love taking care of people. You’re a sensitive nurturer who gives hugs and wants to keep your family and friends close. I mean, the breast is where babies are fed and the stomach is where we keep the food we eat! You tend to put others’ needs before your own, so be sure to take care of yourself too — or else you’ll find that frustration turns into chest pains or stomach aches…

Leo

Heart, Spine, and Upper Back.

Leo the Lion is, of course, the ruler of the heart and spine. You are a lover and when you are heartbroken, you tend to slouch in your heartbreak. But where you feel pain is also where you will find healing — express your love and your creativity and not only will you sit up straighter with confidence, but your heart will feel full.

Virgo

Digestive System and Intestines.

Virgo is the most stressed and anxious sign of the zodiac, so when that festers, it causes stomach aches. When you have a stomach ache, you often feel as if you’re out of control — and you hate feeling out of control. If you want to heal, get into a healthy routine to move your body and develop a better relationship with food.

Libra

Kidneys, Lower Back, Butt, and Skin.

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty — and you rule the skin (the part of the body associated with beauty and attraction). You also rule the parts of our body that allow us to be balanced (the lower back, butt, and pelvic floor). When you’re feeling unbalanced and have a kidney flare-up, an anxious rash on the skin, or lower back pain. Be sure to give yourself some TLC so that you can stay in tip-top shape.

Scorpio

Reproductive System, Genitals, and Hips.

Scorpios are quite sensual beings, just as much as they are protective and giving. It makes sense that you rule the reproductive system, genitals, and hips — everything that has to do with having sex and creating and carrying a baby. Try some hip-opening exercises or have an orgasm (yes, seriously) to release any tension in these areas.

Sagittarius

Legs, Thighs, and Liver.

You’re a free spirit, Sagittarius, which makes sense as to why you rule over the legs and thighs — the things that help you move. With ruling the liver, too, you’re someone who is more likely to try new drinks and foods (especially from other cultures on your travels). When there’s tension in these areas, stretch your legs. And drink water.

Capricorn

Joints, Skeletal System, and Teeth.

As a Capricorn, you are incredibly grounded and practical, appreciating a good foundation. At your worst, you can be a bit inflexible (which makes sense, considering you rule the skeletal system). When you’re feeling tense or stiff, allow yourself to take a moment to chill. Rest your joints and muscles — this is how you can recenter and reground yourself.

Aquarius

Shins, Ankles, Calves, and Circulatory System.

Aquarians are often breaking and bending the rules, wanting to do things out of the norm and for the good of all mankind. You’re often running and fighting against the resistance (shins, ankles, calves) and getting out of breath (circulatory system). Be sure to rest — literally, sleep — so that you can recenter yourself, both here on Earth and in your body.

Pisces

Feet and Lymphatic System.

According to Chinese medicine, the foot is deeply connected to other parts of the body, which makes sense because, in astrology, empathetic Pisces is the one sign that has a part of everyone else in them. When the lymphatic system is blocked with toxins, it goes to the immune system. It’s important to do some kind of gua sha practice for lymphatic drainage. Get a pedicure or foot massage, too!
