Medical astrology (historical)

For centuries, from Ptolemy to the physician-astrologers Nicholas Culpeper and William Lilly, Western medicine linked the zodiac with the body: Aries rules the head and Pisces the feet, and each person has a temperament made of the qualities hot, cold, moist and dry. This page shows how that tradition would read your chart, together with simple everyday wellbeing tips.

Important: this is a historical and cultural tradition, not a medical diagnosis and not a substitute for a doctor. If you have symptoms or health concerns, please see a qualified health professional.
