The Legs constellation has sixteen stars. Ancient Chinese Astrologers called it Goei, the man striding or the striding legs, ruled by Jupiter. It's astrological symbolism is described thus:

 

Generally an unlucky day; one should not engage in construction work or riches will avoid he house. Digging will be followed by a succession of misfortunes. There is a likelihood of family quarrels and discord among acquaintances. Lawsuits are lost, sickness takes a firm grip.**

 

Early Arabian Astrologers called the Legs Al Batn al Hut. Here is their Portent:

 

Increases harvest and merchandise, helps travelers through danger, strengthens prisons and causes marital happiness and loss of treasure. With Moon here, travel and take purgatives.*

 

In ancient India, Astrologers called the Legs Revati, and offered the following Portent:

 

A soft asterism belonging to the Shudra caste and favorable for friendship, married love, purchase and making of clothes and ornaments, music and auspicious deeds when containing the Moon. Those born on the lunar day will be dealers in flowers, perfumes, or ornaments and may be boatmen. With Moon here at birth the native will be popular, a warrior, wealthy, of strict principle, uncovetous and will have a well-developed body. Rules flower gardens and the ankles.*
