Our human body is a miniature universe representing the nine grahas or planets and 12 Zodiac signs. Each planet and sign directly relate to different parts of our body contributing to its effective functioning. A birth chart that displays the position of planets in the signs, reveal not only circumstances of life but also constitution of a person’s body and mind.

Grahas or planets and our body:
Each planet has a role to play:
- The Sun is responsible for level of energy a person has, vitality and functioning of heart.
- The Moon governs the digestion system, and flow of blood in the body.
- Mercury governs intellect, creative thinking, ability for precise calculations and so on.
- Venus rules our senses, and regulation of sugar in body.
- Mars governs kidney and bladder functioning, red blood cells and so on.
- Jupiter influences physical growth, limbs, liver, kidney functioning and accumulation of fat in our bodies.
- Saturn governs the bones of our skeletal structure and oversees distribution of calcium and vitamins in our body.
Different states or phases of a planet, such as when it is debilitated, exalted, retrograde or in transit, influence a person in different ways.
Four types of bodies:
Astrology broadly identifies four categories of human body constitution such as Fire, Air, Earth and Water. You can identify the category to which category you belong by determining the nature of your Ascendant sign in your Vedic Birth chart. You can run your own Birth chart for free at https://www.astroved.com/report.aspx?type=chart. After you take a look at your chart, and find out your Ascendant and the sign you belong to. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are Fire signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are Air signs, and Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are Water signs. People of each sign category usually express inclination towards certain type of food. Generally speaking, people with Fire signs like spicy and fried food, Earth signs love eating starchy food and tend to overeat.
