The History of Body Astrology
Body astrology, also known as medical astrology, traces its roots back to ancient civilisations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece.
In these cultures, the movements of celestial bodies were intricately linked to earthly phenomena, including human health.
The belief that the positions of the planets and stars at the time of our birth can influence our physical well-being formed the basis of this holistic approach.
In these cultures, herbal medicine was widely practised alongside astrology.
Herbalists and healers would study the positions of celestial bodies and their corresponding astrological influences to determine the most effective herbs for treating various health conditions.
For example, certain plants were associated with specific planets or zodiac signs based on their medicinal properties and energetic qualities. The doctrine of signatures, a concept dating back to ancient times, suggested that plants resembling certain body parts or exhibiting particular characteristics could be used to treat ailments related to those parts or qualities.
Astrological timing also played a crucial role in herbal medicine.
Practitioners would consider the astrological correspondences of plants when harvesting, preparing, and administering herbal remedies. Aligning the use of herbs with auspicious planetary configurations or lunar phases was believed to enhance their potency and efficacy.
Additionally, ancient astrologers and herbalists often developed intricate systems of correspondence between planets, signs, and herbs. These correspondences formed the basis of astrological herbalism, guiding medical astrologer practitioners in selecting the most appropriate herbs based on an individual’s astrological chart and specific health concerns.
Overall, the integration of astrology and herbal medicine in ancient times reflects a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between the celestial and terrestrial realms. By harnessing the healing power of plants guided by astrological principles, ancient practitioners sought to promote balance, vitality, and holistic well-being in body, mind, and spirit.
Nowadays I believe body astrology provides a lens through which to see the connections between the natural world and our organic bodies helping us lean into our inner wisdom.
Your sun sign is only a small part of your astrological makeup.

First, you will need to learn your body astrology triad. This is;
- Your Sun Sign – This reflects your sense of self, your spiritual health and energy.
- Your Moon Sign – This represents your internal body, circadian rhythm, hormones and nutrition – how you use the energy you get from food.
- Your Rising Sign – Rising signs reflect your external self, physicality, immunity and resilience
Your body astrology triad is a pivotal piece of your chart and allows you to take a full-body approach with this holistic modality.
Each birth chart is a map of your unique body make-up which further goes to show that no two medical journeys or menopause experiences are the same.
For many women, the transition through menopause can be a challenging as well as a transformative time.
From hot flashes and mood swings to insomnia and fatigue, the symptoms of menopause can significantly impact your physical, emotional, and mental health.
Exploring the astrological factors at play during this phase of life can give you an inclusive tool to help you gain a deeper understanding of the underlying energies and themes influencing your personal experience.
