Cosmic Anatomy: The Astrology of Dicks

Astrological body types are a blend of mythic archetype and observational poetry. They are not meant to box anyone in, but to illuminate the energetic posture a sign tends to express through the physical form.

Recently, there has been a significant surge in grassroots "research"—collating surveys from platforms like Twitter and Grindr, along with observational data—to see how these archetypes manifest specifically in masculine anatomy. While this is certainly not biology, it is a fascinating dive into the intersection of cosmic energy and physical form.

Below is the synthesized guide to the zodiac, incorporating the "researcher's" consensus on size, shape, and sexual temperament.

The Cosmic Anatomy: Zodiac Archetypes

Astrology suggests the body is a vessel of cosmic expression. Each sign rules a specific vibration, and that vibration appears to have a "tell" when it comes to the shape, size, and style of the masculine form.

Fire Signs: The Body as Flame

Energy: Impactful, assertive, and energetic.

  • Aries — The Warrior Frame: Aries energy is the "first strike." The data suggests a distinct lack of "average"—they are usually either quite small or very large and thick. The shape tends to be distinctive, often angular, prominent with veins, and sometimes featuring a unique curvature.

    • Recap: Rough, wild, and unpredictable. Even if the anatomy isn't what you expected, the intensity of their approach makes them memorable.

  • Leo — The Regal Heart: Leo is the archetype of dominance. Despite the projection of "king-sized" energy, the findings were split: many Leos actually have smaller proportions, while others are definitely above average.

    • Recap: What they lack in size, they make up for in performance. They are master seducers who prioritize the experience over the anatomy.

  • Sagittarius — The Wanderer’s Stride: Built for the long haul. The Sagittarius form leans toward length rather than girth. They are often "growers" rather than "showers," maintaining a long, lithe aesthetic.

    • Recap: If you are looking for long, quality sex, Sagittarius is the target. They are fun and athletic, but usually keep things emotionally detached.

Earth Signs: The Body as Landscape

Energy: Solid, grounded, and enduring.

  • Taurus — The Sensual Form: Taurus is the archetype of the earth—fertile and steady. The consensus here is a "gold standard" for many: they are rarely small, usually possessing impressive, reliable girth. Their aesthetic is clean-cut and traditionally pleasing.

    • Recap: Sensual, steady, and attractive. They rarely disappoint and are generally considered highly reliable partners.

  • Virgo — The Quiet Precision: Virgo is the artisan; nothing is wasted. Their form tends to be petite and well-proportioned. They don't typically go for "massive," but they rank highly for having the most symmetrical and "clean" looking anatomy in the zodiac.

    • Recap: Efficient and thoughtful. They put genuine effort into the act, even if they aren't the loudest in the room.

  • Capricorn — The Mountain Frame: Structured and enduring. Similar to Virgo, their Saturn influence keeps things compact rather than oversized. Expect an average, solid build that is well-maintained.

    • Recap: Disciplined and focused. Like Sagittarians, they tend to view the act as a task to be mastered, often keeping an emotional distance.

Air Signs: The Body as Breeze

Energy: Variable, communicative, and cerebral.

  • Gemini — The Quicksilver Shape: Gemini is the sign of duality. While many possess above-average length, they are frequently noted for a "pencil-like" thinness. The shape is usually straight, clean, and adaptable.

    • Recap: They are charming, witty, and know exactly how to use what they have to keep you interested.

  • Libra — The Balanced Silhouette: The aesthetician of the zodiac. Libra ranks highly for having "perfect" proportions—long, girthy, and aesthetically pleasing. They are often the standard of what one might consider a "traditionally handsome" shape.

    • Recap: They are diplomatic and charming lovers. They offer a refined experience, though they may lack the raw, animalistic passion of the fire signs.

  • Aquarius — The Eccentric Line: The outlier. They often have significant length and solid girth, though, like Leo, they occasionally have smaller exceptions. Their form can be somewhat "rough" or unconventional in shape.

    • Recap: Freaks in bed. They are unpredictable, experimental, and definitely not boring.

Water Signs: The Body as Tide

Energy: Fluid, intuitive, and receptive.

  • Cancer — The Lunar Curve: The archetype of the womb. They tend to be "juicy" and soft. They vary widely between small and above-average, but their girth is generally solid, and they are noted for being very "suckable."

    • Recap: Highly kinky and deeply sensitive. There is a unique, addictive quality to their intimacy.

  • Scorpio — The Magnetic Shadow: The ruler of the reproductive centers. This research consistently placed Scorpio as the "best" in the zodiac. They combine the length of Libra with a rougher, more intense aesthetic. Expect significant girth and a shape that commands attention.

    • Recap: Hypnotic and emotionally intense. This is the archetype of the "obsession"—the partner you crave at all hours.

  • Pisces — The Dreamer’s Drift: The ocean. Pisces is frequently cited as one of the largest signs in the zodiac, often possessing significant girth. Their form is fluid, sometimes curved, and highly responsive to the partner.

    • Recap: They blur the lines between physical and emotional intensity. They are dreamy, creative in the bedroom, and highly intuitive to their partner's needs.

Conclusion

Ultimately, these astrological archetypes are less about predicting biological reality and more about appreciating the distinct "energetic signature" each sign brings to intimacy. While this collection of grassroots data offers a lens for fun speculation, it serves best as a way to acknowledge the vast, colorful, and often surprising variety of the human form. Whether your personal experiences confirm these celestial patterns or defy them entirely, the true magic lies in the mystery of the encounter. Let this guide be a playful spark for your curiosity but always remember: the most compelling "chart" isn't the one drawn in the stars, but the one written between you and your partner in the moment.

These remarkable books whisper tales of a fascinating past. My detective work suggests they belonged to a highly respected Seattle-based astrologer. Each volume, meticulously cared for, hints at a life dedicated to celestial exploration.

While the exact origin remains a mystery, it seems a significant chapter has closed in their astrological journey. Perhaps a well-deserved retirement, or maybe a new path has unfolded. Regardless, these books now embark on a new adventure, ready to share their wisdom with a fresh generation of seekers.

A thrill shot through me when I discovered an autographed copy of "Prediction in Astrology" by the legendary Noel Tyl! This gem, along with a few other particularly captivating finds, will occupy a place of honor on my own bookshelf. Other paper ephemera found between the pages of these wonderful books include the original owner's business card, several old bookmarks, a McDonald's  game piece from the 1988 Olympics, and sticky notes with hand-calculated positions of the the Moon and progressed planets! 

But the true magic lies within the remaining volumes. Imagine the potential for discovery! Each book holds the potential to unlock the secrets of a seasoned astrologer, their name perhaps hidden within a discreet stamp on the inside cover. Owning one of these volumes is not just acquiring a book, it's inheriting a piece of astrological history.

Astrological Plackets


Astrological Plackets 

I first learned about plackets in the mid 1990's when I obtained a copy of Ray Buckland's Advanced Candle Magick 

Placket comes from an Old English word meaning vagina. They are simply two squares of cloth which have been sewn on three sides forming a pocket. If you are not handy with needle and thread you ca purchase paper greeting card envelopes in various colors which you can leave as they are or further decorate with drawings, collage, stencils, or ink stamps to name a few (see below) 

They are used in spells and rituals to hold certain items such as photographs, petition-papers, name-papers, affirmative prayers, or small objects  such as charms, gemstones, or dried roots while you are working towards your goal or attempting to manifest your intentions represented by whatever you place inside the placket.  When creating your placket(s) you may wish to keep color correspondences in mind and match the color of your placket to your goal. For example 

  • White- Protection, healing, cleansing, blessing, all purpose.
  • Yellow- Creativity, communication, compelling.
  • Pink- Romance, friendship, happiness.
  • Orange- Employment, activation, stimulation.
  • Red- Health, passion, lust, strength, love.
  • Purple- Power, success, independence, spirits.
  • Brown- Friendship, law, stability, order.
  • Blue- Truth, justice, mental health, wisdom, wishes.
  • Green- Abundance, physical health, luck, prosperity
  • Black- Banishing, binding, protection, cursing.

In terms of Astrology, you can also make use of  astral colors 


In addition, you can further decorate your placket with astrological symbols for the 10 Planets and the 12 astrological signs. This can be done by painting the symbols on your placket, embroidering them with needed and thread or sewing the symbols on them in the manner of a patch. 

For example, let us say that you wish to attract more love and romance into your life. You might craft a red placket (for love) and embroider the symbol for Venus (the planet of love and romance) in green thread. Then you would place something in the placket symbolizing your goal. Some choices may include but are not limited to the following. 

  1. a photo of a specific person you wish to love you 
  2. a wish list of qualities of the type of person you wish to attract 
  3. a specially chosen bible verse that you have written on paper 
  4. a petition paper 
  5. a sigil drawn on paper 
  6. a hand-drawn Magic Square 
  7. a magical seal, such as a Seal of Solomon 
Next you might five-spot the item with Venus Astrological Oil (or a condition oil such as Lavender Love, or Come to Me) place the item inside your placket alone or with something else such as small piece of rose quartz, or a Queen Elizabeth Root, etc... Place the placket on your altar between two candles. On the left you might put a green candle dressed with Venus Oil and on the right an Astral Candle dressed with the corresponding Astrological Sign Oil  

For example, let us say that the specific person you want to attract is a Taurus. The astral color for Taurus is also green, so you would etch their name on a green candle and dress this with Taurus Oil. Now let us say that you don't have any specific person in mind but that you want someone who has Leo like qualities. Then you would carve the words my lover on an orange candle and dress this with Leo Oil. 

If you don't have the time, energy, or inclination to make several plackets, you may wish to simply create two: one for attracting and blessing and another for banishing and cursing. For this purpose, I suggest using a white placket for attracting and blessing and a black one for banishing and cursing. To pull in astrological energies you can sew a black circle on the white placket representing the New Moon - this placket will be for attracting and blessing. Next, you can decorate the black placket with a white circle which will be used for banishing and cursing (see photo above)
