Part of the Body Ruled by Virgo

Part of the Body Ruled by Virgo

The sign of Virgo rules the nervous system and the intestines.
The intestines assimilate food into the body. By
the same token, Virgoans assimilate knowledge and turn it
into practical use. They have delicate and finely tuned
nervous systems, which makes them intuitive and discriminating.
As with Cancer, nervous tension, anxiety, and emotional
stress are Virgo’s worst enemies. People of this sign
can literally worry themselves sick.When things go wrong
they have a tendency to turn the trouble in onto themselves,
and the problem is instantly reflected in a physical
ailment, usually intestinal.
Virgoans have fussy digestive systems, and suffer from
indigestion, gas pains, ulcers, liver upsets, colitis, and
bowel problems. In addition, they are often troubled by
skin eruptions, again due to nerves. Virgoans worry about
their health; they tend to be hypochondriacs.
Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury has dominion over the
brain and the nervous system. It also controls the links between
the mind and the functions of the body. This intensifies
Virgo’s proclivity for turning mental tension and upsets
into illness of the body.
