Hi all,
I'm not sure about this one.
I have a Virgo descendant, but I have never had any particular trouble with my digestive system yet in my life.
The only 'illness' that would stand out as being particularly prominent in my early life was my terrible depression and crushing lack of self confidence, which I suppose might be ascribed to Virgo. I am also a Sun Virgo, and this is in the 7th House, so if the Sun is general vitality, well-being, personal esteem and sense of purpose, then I can see how this might relate to a challenge with confidence and general self-esteem in my earlier life. So perhaps there is something in this.
I also have Venus right upon my descendant, perhaps my saving grace from any digestive trouble? A psychlogical perspective might show my tremendous shyness as a child, with Venus on the DC representing an acute sensitivity to others? I'm just thinking out loud here. Maybe there's not much in this.
I must point out I am a very confident and positive person thesedays.
The only problem in a physical sense that I have always suffered from is my terribly sensitive skin. So there is that sensitivity theme again.........I wonder if this is to do with Venus in Virgo on the DC? Any ideas?
What planets/signs are meant to rule the skin anyway?
Since my teens, when experiencing periods of stress or big changes in life, I will develop an acute itchiness that no matter how much I scratch it can't be abated, until I end up covered in red claw marks where I have scratched myself to ribbons in frustration. I wonder if this sensitivity, both psycholocigal and physical, is any manifestation of my Venus/Virgo DC?
Anyway, how come you are looking to the 7th cusp for information on ailments and not the 6th?

ps: I was about to post this when I had an afterthought - The only parts of my body on which I experience this itchiness when it occurs can be anywhere round the lower back and stomach, the buttocks, the groin and the thighs down to the knees. The signs corresponding to these body parts run from Leo to Saggitarius, which is interesting, because in my chart I only have planets placed in Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Hmm..........
