EmailIn every edition of The Old Farmer's Almanac is a short astrology section with the Secrets of the Zodiac and The Man of Signs.
Ancient astrologers believed that each astrological sign influenced a specific part of the body.
The first sign of the zodiac—Aries—was attributed to the head, with the rest of the signs moving down the body, ending with Pisces at the feet.
Many readers use the Man of Signs to determine the best days for gardening, setting eggs, and even having surgery (however, the Almanac does not give medical advice).

Can Man Of Signs help
Can Man Of Signs help determine health status? And if so why isn't it used to some extent? I presume that planets and aspects in your Pisces placement would affect your Feet,but one would have to be learned in Astrology to figure out the meaning.
First, always consult your
First, always consult your physician when planning surgery. Many of our readers do look at the "Man of Signs" to schedule health appointments, based on the age-old belief that the Moon's signs are associated with body parts. (Aries is attributed to the head, with the rest of the signs moving down the body.) In The Old Farmer's Almanac book, there is a Moon sign calendar that shows the sign for each date of the year. One finds their date and then the sign; the farther away the Moon sign is from the sign associated with the afflicted body part, the better.

That's a great question! The
That's a great question! The answer is steeped in history and myth but unfortunately is beyond the scope of this format. We suggest that you ask your local public library to locate resources detailing the history of Western astrology. Try searching for information about Empedocles, Aristotle, and other Greek philosophers who studied the four elements (some added a fifth element, Aether), and Ptolemy, who is said to have linked them to zodiac signs. (His work called Almagest might give some clues.) Also check ancient Mesopotamian, Babylonian, and Hellenistic astrology/astronomy. You might also be interested in comparing this to Indian astrology, as well as to the five elements of Chinese astrology (earth, fire, water, metal, and wood) and their associated planets.
the movement of the moon
the movement of the moon affects our bodies just like it affects the oceans and seas.just as the moon "pulls" the water "tides"it also pulls our blood to our heads ie,if you have teeth extracted when signs are in the knees you will have the least bleeding & soreness.rogeradams@frontiernet.net
