Zodiac signs and corresponding body parts.

The Man of Many Signs

For over 200 years, the Farmers’ Almanac has shared the Moon’s placement in the zodiac and how it relates to successful planting. But the signs of the zodiac are also associated with specific parts of the body. Here is a brief description of the quality and rulership of the zodiac signs, their nature and character, whether fruitful (productive) or barren; dry or moist; masculine or feminine; fixed, movable or flexible; earthly, airy, fiery or watery.

ARIES: Fiery, masculine, movable. Tends toward dryness and barrenness. Related to the head, brain, and face. Planetary ruler is Pluto (Mars).
 
TAURUS: Earthly, feminine, fixed. Is moist and productive. Related to the throat, nasal passages and neck. Planetary ruler is Venus.
 
GEMINI: Airy, masculine, flexible, barren. Related to hands, arms, shoulders, collar-bone, lungs, and nervous system. Planetary ruler is Mercury.

CANCER: Watery, feminine, movable, very fruitful. Related to the breasts, stomach, and mouth. Ruler is the moon.
 
LEO: Fiery, masculine, fixed, barren. Related to the heart, sides and upper part of the back. Ruler is the Sun.
 
VIRGO: Earthly, feminine, flexible, barren. Related to the intestines bowels and solar-plexus. Planetary ruler is Mercury.
 
LIBRA: Airy, masculine, movable, semi-fruitful. Related to the kidneys, veins, loins, ovaries, and lower part of the back. Planetary ruler is Venus.
 
SCORPIO: Watery, feminine, fixed, fruitful. Related to sex organs and bladder. Planetary ruler is Mars (Pluto).
 
SAGITTARIUS: Fiery, masculine, flexible; considered barren. Related to the liver, hips, and thighs. Planetary ruler is Jupiter.

CAPRICORN: Earthly, feminine, movable, somewhat productive. Related to the knees, spleen, skin, hair, teeth, and bones. Planetary ruler is Saturn.
 
AQUARIUS: Airy, masculine, fixed; inclined to be barren. Related to the calves, ankles, blood, nervous system. Planetary ruler is Uranus.

PISCES: Watery, feminine, flexible; considered to be fruitful. Related to the feet. Planetary ruler is Neptune.

Zodiac Signs, Astrology And Astronomy Explained

Astrology interprets the influence that the Sun and Moon have while they are in specific zodiac signs. Astrology is based on the concept that there are 12 signs of the zodiac, measuring 30 degrees each, along the astrological circle (360 degrees in total).

However, because the astrological placement does not take into account the precession of the equinoxes (the “wobble” that the Earth’s axis describes over a 26,000-year interval), the Moon’s place according to astrology differs considerably from its physical place according to astronomy.

Astronomy is the scientific interpretation of matter in space. The Moon can wander into a few astronomical constellations that are not members of the zodiac. These constellations include: Sextans (SEX); and Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer (OPH).

What is the best time in Oct. 2026 to have teeth pulled

Edwin

good sgn for knee surgery

Talia

Generally speaking, elective or non emergency surgeries are best scheduled during a waning moon, specifically about 5 days after the Full Moon down to the New Moon, but you do NOT want to schedule when the moon is in the sign that rules the part of the body that will be operated on. In the case of knee surgery, avoid scheduling when the moon is in Capricorn.

What days in July 2026 are best for having dental work done

Josh Morley

Hi Helen, great question, and one the Almanac gets every summer. In the traditional Best Days method, dental work is scheduled when the Moon is not in the head-and-mouth signs (Aries for teeth, Cancer for jaw, Pisces for lips), and ideally during the waning phase after the Full Moon. For July 2026 that lines up best on July 8–9 (Moon in Capricorn) and July 22–24 (Moon in Taurus, waning). Try to avoid July 30–31 around the Full Moon for tooth extractions. Feel better soon.

I’ve been using your service since 1990 for haircuts and shaving. Is there a time for perming hair?

Yes I’m new to the group but I’ve always looked at the Almanac for several reasons but I have come across …best days. Well there’s a thing that says best days to gain weight!!! I have been trying for some time to gain weight, lost a adult son, lost around 25 pounds this was 3 years ago. Can’t seem to gain it, need it desperately!!! If the Almanac says there’s good days….Does anyone know how to go about this? Lil lady from Kentucky

Hi, I need to give blood for some critical lab work very soon.
Its nearly impossible to get blood from my body.
My instincts are to schedule during a waxing moon in fruitful and semi-fruitful signs only.
Should I maybe avoid libra bc veins or should I seek an appointment then bc it is so difficult for the medical people to find a vein on me?
