Astrological Rulers
Plants have long been linked with the constellations of the Zodiac. In these tables, I’ve listed diets and some of the major foods which are “ruled” by the twelve signs.
Why include this information here? Many people wear colors and gemstones that are said to be related to their sign. In doing this, they hope to strengthen the positive aspects of their sun sign. These same persons may also choose to eat the foods suited to them, as governed by the stars above.
