How to Follow the Man of Signs
The first sign of the zodiac—Aries—is attributed to the head, with the rest of the signs moving down the body, ending with Pisces at the feet.
Consult the chart below to see which body parts are associated with which signs and dates. According to astrology, it is considered a poor time to do an activity that involves the given body part within the associated range of dates. For example, because Aries is connected to the head, it would be considered unfavorable to have an eye examination during Aries (March 21 to April 20).

When is good day to submit documents for buying a home.
I need back surgery and am trying to hold off until a couple of days after Christmas. The signs are good for the beginning of Dec but I do not know how they are for the end. A friend read them to me but at the time I was focused on the beginning of Dec. I have to schedule it today or tomorrow at the latest. Thank you
I need to schedule surgery anterior cervical decompression with Fusion. I am an aries April 12. What is the best time to do this. I know aries rules the head. Would the best time be in March since pisces rules the feet and it is very far from the head neck area where I need to have c3-c7 removed. I have been putting this off, but, I realize I need to have the surgery. I am completely and utterly lost. I just need some guidance when would be the exact best dates to remove and fuse. I have tried to figure this out on my own for the past two years. Well, I actually decided not to do it. But, I realize I need to have this extremely barbaric , frightening surgery done. Atleast if I have a far enough date to really look to, I'm sure I could prepare mentally and physically. Thank you.
I wish you good luck and send you positive vibes! I am also an Aries (April 6th). I had the same surgery....3 times(once through the front and twice through the back)! I had crappy workers comp drs. You most likely have much better drs than I did! I hope this surgery helps you!!
Thank you for responding. I was never notified I had a response. I happened upon it by goggleing " okay Google, (ridiculous right...) when is the best time to have neck surgery if I am an aries. I was thinking March, but according to the climate, didnt realize it, but not a good time for sutguty. I'm so confused. I know the moon travels through the different signs monthly so, just because March is pisces rules feet far away from neck, doesnt necessarily mean thats the best time. That's why I came here. I have faith in God, but also mother earth. Just something a little extra that is tangible.
Wow! That's pretty cool your birthday April 6th. My stepmom was April 6th. 40 years we lost her 3 years ago. Very difficult. She would have told me what to do. I had a second opinion and they said I need the surgery yesterday. So you said you didn't share very well with your surgery huh? It's a barbaric surgery I don't know of too many success stories it's about A5050 shot anyway I just need to find a date sooner than later at least now that I have the 2nd opinion my dad's awake to act like he cares I just need to be prepared mentally quit smoking which I started when I was 28 i am51 now so. There was stupid of me but sometimes we do stupid Things. Like have this surgery hahaha is just hard to figure out I really need some Guidance about the days. What would you suggest. Thanks to reaching out playing and I hope you get better as well. Blessings stay cool
