Adventures in Medical Astrology

The body, the chart, and the old art of astrological physick — three interactive tools and a three‑part teaching course weaving the Western, Vedic, and Chinese traditions of the body.

Please read — educational & symbolic only
Medical astrology is a centuries‑old symbolic and reflective tradition. Everything on this page is for educational and self‑awareness purposes. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and astrology must never replace, delay, or override care from a qualified health professional. If you have any health concern, please consult a licensed practitioner.

The Zodiac Body Map

Interactive Tool

The oldest layer of medical astrology is melothesia — the “Man of Signs” that runs the twelve signs down the body from crown to soles. Choose a sign to read its traditional bodily rulership, its symbolic themes, an herbal note in the spirit of Culpeper, and how the same territory appears in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine.

☉ Head → Toe · the Man of Signs

Choose a sign from the head‑to‑toe ladder to explore the body in the birth chart.

Live Ephemeris

Enter birth details to calculate planetary positions with a real ephemeris, then see the body systems, temperament, and houses of health your chart emphasizes. This is a symbolic, educational map — never a diagnosis.

Three Traditions, One Body

Cross‑System Map

Western temperament, Ayurvedic dosha, and the Chinese Five Phases are different maps of the same terrain. Choose any element to see how the three traditions describe its constitution and care. These are teaching resonances, not exact equivalents.

The Course — Three Levels

~3 Hours

Three self‑contained classes you can teach or study in sequence, each roughly an hour of material. Begin with the Intro, pause, then continue to Intermediate and Advanced whenever you are ready. Use the arrow keys, the dots, or the jump menu to move through each deck.
