Organs (from Greek: ὄργανον organon "tool") are, in the realm of the living, specialised parts of the body which, through a characteristic development of their own, emerge from the organism as a whole in order to be able to fulfil very specific tasks. Since, from an anthroposophical point of view, humans and animals not only have a physical body, but also higher, supersensible members of their being (etheric body, astral body; in humans also the I-bearer), all physical organs are also based on supersensible organs, i.e. the heart also has an etheric heart and astral heart, the brain has an etheric brain, etc. In particular, purely supersensory organs, to which organs that cannot be directly physically precisely delimited correspond (although there is also a physical correlate here), such as the so-called lotus flowers or chakras, are also of special significance.

According to the occult view, the human organism is a microcosm that is a reflection of the macrocosm and the organs are under the predominant influence of certain individual planetary spheres. However, this should not be interpreted schematically as if the individual organs were only under the influence of one single planet; rather, from a holistic point of view, all planetary forces always act on each organ in a precisely balanced proportion, but in such a way that certain planetary effects clearly predominate. However, healing effects can often be brought about by invoking other planetary forces in order to restore a disturbed balance.

Seven Organs and Seven Planets

The seven main organs correspond to the seven planets and the seven planetary metalss respectively:

Planet Metal Organ
Moon silver brain, reproduction
Mercury Mercury lung
Venus Copper Kidneys
Sun Gold heart, blood circulation
Mars Iron gall bladder
Jupiter Tin Liver
Saturn Lead Spleen
