Sagittarius rules the region of the body directly surrounding the hips, the sacral region of the spine, the coccygeal vertebrae, the femur, the ileum, the iliac arteries, and the sciatic nerves. The diseases Sagittarian suffers from are locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, and hip disease. As patients Sagittarians are most gentle and recover easily. With their frank and kind nature they are most trusting and ever ready to follow all the instructions of the healer, but they also respond equally to every negative suggestion.
