C. J. S. Thompson, in The Mystery and Romance of Astrology, writes, “The parts of the body originally allotted to and said to be governed by the signs of the Zodiac were as follows: Aries, the ram, the head and the face. Taurus, the bull, the neck and throat. Gemini, the twins, the arms and the shoulders. Cancer, the crab, the breast and stomach. Leo, the lion, the back and the heart. Virgo, the virgin, the viscera. Libra, the scales, the veins and the bladder. Scorpio, the scorpion, the generative organs. Sagittarius, the archer, the hips and the thighs. Capricorn, the goat-fish, the knees. Aquarius, the water-pourer, the legs and ankles. Pisces, the fish, the feet and toes. It is easy to understand from this, how certain diseases also came to be associated with the signs. Thus Aries, ruling the head and face, was believed to produce smallpox, epilepsy, headaches, baldness, ringworm and apoplexy. Taurus; all diseases of the throat, scrofula, quinsy and wens. Gemini; diseases of the arms and shoulders, frenzy, fevers, disorders of the brain and insanity. Cancer; dropsy, cancer, consumption, asthma, and disorders affecting the stomach. Leo; diseases of the heart, plague, convulsions, jaundice, pleurisy, and fevers. Virgo; ruled all diseases affecting the viscera. Libra; diseases of the blood and the bladder. Scorpio; diseases of the generative organs and scurvy. Sagittarius; gout, rheumatism, sciatica, muscular pains and disorders caused by intemperance. Capricorn; hysteria, leprosy, melancholia, and cutaneous diseases. Aquarius; diseases affecting the legs and ankles, dislocations, lameness, cramps and swellings in those parts. Pisces; lameness, pains in the feet, also acne and ulcers.”
