Sign Aries [The Emperor]
Aries rules the head, headaches, and the subrenal glands. The subrenal glands pump adrenalin into the blood stream in the event of an emergency - such as a rush of Arian anger or energy - giving Arians their reputation for impetuosity. [I also equate Aries with hyperactivity - Don]
Ruler Mars [The Tower]
Mars relates to the muscular and urogenial system and upon the gonads or sex glands - ovaries or testes. This is an extension of the planet's general association with physical sexual expression.
Note from Don: Ejaculation, premature ejaculation, problems of a sexual nature.

Taurus [The Hierophant]
Taurus rules the throat and neck. This makes them particularly vulnerable to colds and chills. The Taurean gland is the thyroid and any malfunction with this gland will cause serious weight problems.
Ruler Venus [The Empress]
The traditional connection with Venus was with the throat, kidneys, and lumbar region. It has now been established that it has an effect on the parathyroids - which play an important part in controlling the calcium level of the body fluids.

Gemini [The Lovers]
Gemini rules the nerves, arms and shoulders (including the hands). Gemini's are, therefore, prone to broken collar-bones, and arms (and have problems with their hands/fingers). It also rules the lungs, and colds can often develop into bronchitis. They are often restless and 'live on their nerves'. Note: Most Gemini's I know suffer from some form of arthritis - especially later in life. This may be related more to it's ruler Mercury than to Gemini.
Ruler Mercury [The Magician]
Mercury is associated with respriation, the brain, and the nervous system as a whole. There is a strong influence on the complex and delicate links between the different parts of the body.

Sign Leo [Strength]
Leo rules the heart, spine, and back. With the Leonine tendency to live life to the full, they should be especially careful to slow up in middle age: otherwise there is a risk of heart attack.
Ruler Sun [The Sun]
Traditionally the sun rules the heart, back, and spinal column. It is now also associated with the thymus, an endocrine gland behind the upper end of the sternum that is important during early years of childhood and puberty. It appears to be connected with immunization of the body against bacteria.
Personal Note: Also typical things having to deal with the sun.
Sunburn, skin cancer from to much sun, burns of all kinds, skin/heat rashes, etc.

Sign Scorpio [Death]
Rules the sexual organs. Scorpians are the most highly sexed of all the signs and, with their tendency to do nothing by halves, any frustration or suppression of this sexual energy can lead to unpleasant behavior. In extreme cases they can become cruel and violent. Sexual problems of all types. Often work to the point of exhaustion causing illness and other problems.
Note: One source I have also says Scorpio rules the rectum. I suppose this means hemorrhoids as well.
Ruler Pluto [Judgment]
Pluto is linked with Mars in influencing the gonads. Its special connection is with the formation of cells and the reproductive function itself.

Rules the circulation. People with Aquarius strong in their charts can suffer from varicose viens and hardening of the arteries, and cold weather is particularly trying on them. It also rules the shins and ankles, and fractures are common.
Ruler Uranus [The Fool]
Is connected to the circulatory system, the gonads and pineal body - an area of the brain important to primeval animals but whose significance to man is disputed. It is sometimes spoken as a remnant of the 'third eye'.

Pisces [The Moon/card]
Rules the feet. When they are effected (the feet), even by something minor like shoes that do no fit properly, the Piscean well-being seems generally to suffer. Pisceans often do not respond well to drugs and these should be administered carefully, since the simplest medicine can have an adverse effect.
Ruler Neptune [The Hanged Man]
Acts upon the general nervous system and in particular the thalamus - a structure in the brain that plays a vital part in the transmission of stimuli to and from the sensory organs. With Neptune you can also have problems with drugs and alcohol.
