Zodiac Man.
The Zodiac Man dates all the way back to the Middle Ages and the body was seen to be divided up into regions just as the Earth was. The belief back then was that man was known as “a little world”, the term they used to refer to this was ‘microcosm’, which is known to originate with the ancient Babylonians.
The Zodiac Man was used in mainly in medicine by working alongside the Moon. Wherever the Moon and stars are aligned with a certain astrological sign they correlated with a body part, bodily system, or the four humors. The four humors separate the body into four parts just as there are four elements. The four humors of the human body are yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and blood, it was believed that these all needed to be in balance in order to keep up with your health. Europe was, at the time, required by law to calculate the Moon’s positioning before taking action on a patient or any kind of medical procedure. If the Moon was not in its correct positioning, nothing was able to be performed because it was deemed unsafe. Most of the ways that illnesses were determined and diagnosed was through the four humors, especially through blood and yellow bile, better known as urine. This was one of the main ways people were diagnosed.
