Getting clear about your future direction has been a big issue in recent times, and especially because of the restless planetary battle between the planet of innovation Uranus which is governing your finances and creating unpredictability, the destiny orientated location of karmic powers of Pluto, and the hard headed impact of Saturn on close alliances, property and business affairs. So what will make this year different. Well, you could start of 2013, clearing up quite a few loose ends, and perhaps also this means coming to terms with elements of your past.

However, early in February Mars moves into your sign, and whilst this may sap your strength for a week or so, as it combines with your ruler, soon enough you will be on the front foot. And this year can see you starting to expand, quite a few strands of your situation, but progress will come from and openness to knowledge. Now this may see you formally learning new skills, or deploying experience you have gained in recent years. If you can apply this way of looking at what you eat and drink and how you exercise, you can really make the most of Saturn's transit through your 9th Solar House.

Yet there may be some clashes, particularly in early May, where you may encounter someone more forceful, or more opinionated  Be sure of measuring your words carefully then or else a legal dispute could follow. June however, sees the wonderful powers of Jupiter start to work its magic. This will be a real pep, right through to the end of the year, and see you feeling livelier and more sociable, and more in the mood to pitch into activities with others. This desire for engagement is boosted again with the Solar Eclipse on November 3rd, and you can be really determined to make progress, whatever obstacles you meet but also get fitter in the process.

Your co-ruler Uranus has been causing quite a stir ever since it moved into Aries on a longer term basis, in March 2011. Now this in itself can be very positive for you, especially if you a born in the first 10 days of Aquarius, because this is the planet that stirs innovation, but it is also a very restless influence, and is an insight into the kind of switchback in mood and mode that many Water Carriers experience on a fairly regular basis.

The downside is that the nervous energy is generates has been turned up to max, and there may well have been a lot more sleepless nights, headaches, and circulatory issues to contend with. Part of the problem has been its tight right angle with Pluto, which lasted broadly for seven months of 2012, through to the end of October. And the side of you which likes to be logical and detached battled with the forces that Pluto was stirring in the deepest part of your psyche governing fears, anxiety or self-doubt. Also you may have had a crash course about fair-weather friendships.

With criticisms often coming to you third, not even second hand. But this year, begins with a real posse of planets looking to get you off on a better footing, not least the force field known as Mars. This will give you a real determination and drive from the off. Saturn has also moved out of your sector of expansion into that of responsibilities, so stresses and strains this year, may come because you are doing so well, but you will need to have some external diversions to help you to deal with these.

Jupiter is on-side all year, but in two different ways. Through to June, giving you an appreciation of fun and sociability, and in the last half of the year, giving your health a veritable boost. It ain't going to be perfect Aquarius, but with added financial progress, this can help you to step up in ways, which in the past may have seemed closed to you.

How are your nerves Capricorn? They may well have spent many of the months jangling last year, as a number of T Squares, one of the toughest of planetary influences, bore down on your sign, and primarily on the powerful Pluto, now a resident with you, for the last four years. Now, whether life pressures came from work, loot, lust or just through deep personal issues, the outcome has probably been similar, with too much responsibility and not enough help. So what's a Goat boy or girl to do in 2013? Well, the answer is delegate.

Now I know this is easy to say, and may not always be absolutely appropriate to your personal scenario, but there are a whole raft of benefits to tap into if you can reach out to others, work closely with them, and embrace the concept of co-operation. But...this may also mean giving up a bit of your power base.

Accepting that others can do as well as you, even if not quite in the same order, could prove really liberating. Furthermore, enjoying linking with others through clubs, activities, and sports teams can be a great way to tune up your body into better shape. And of course, it won't all be perfect, and a few friends could turn out to disappoint you, but one person from June can turn out to be a major asset to you, and you can urge one another on to better and bigger things! Now, I must be truthful, and some of the politics that occurred last year may make a return from October, but this time you will be much better versed to deal with them, and it will be the quality of your associations that prove so important to your welfare in the last quarter.

One of your great traits is your thirst for information. Many Archers have an inexhaustible desire for knowledge, but this is often "about things". This year, you can gain a lot health and fitness wise by turning this side of your nature on the inner dimension of life. Now more spiritually, this can see you start to look at the world through a quite different lens than from in the past.

You can find yourself more serious, for example. This doesn't mean that there won't be any play time, but whether it is friendships, work, emotional life or fitness activities, you might not pitch into things with the same gay abandon you have before. Now you will want to appreciate the meaning of things, in a much more profound way. This can see you turn your back on less frivolous areas of life, not completely, but getting in touch with what is really important becomes quite a clarion call. Someone can act as a catalyst for this, this could be a friend, or it can be some kind of mentor or advisor.

From a food perspective, you might find yourself keener on whole foods or organic merchandise. Cutting back on other consumer treats, can create the extra money for these. Your exercise interests may also change. Anything linked with water, be it swimming, water aerobics, windsurfing, rowing, or walking the dog by a nice calming lake or river, can all take on added appeal. Watch out for work strains in May, and don't assume that everyone is sincere, for some intrigue can blight your year. Your intimate relationships can be complex from June, and anything to do with shared resources can impact on your peace of mind. Look to create tranquillity, relaxation and if need be, mediation, whenever possible in 2013.

This is probably going to be one of the most important years of your life. Sound ominous? Well it needn't be. But the cycles of Saturn are not to be sniffed at, and whilst this planet joined you last October, it is going to make its presence really felt this year. However, last November's Solar Eclipse in your sign was an encouragement for you to embrace new beginnings and new approaches. Surf this energy through to April of 2012.

One of the less well appreciated sides to your nature, is that you can be a creature of routine. Are all yours as healthy as they might be? If not, this is a good time to evaluate and start to simplify your approach to life. If that means giving up some things that have been mainstays in the past, then so be it. As Saturn twists backwards from March to mid-July, you may find that life feels quite restrictive. This can affect your spirits, as well as your energy, and the only way to deal with this is to cut back on the non-essential activities or the less virtuous elements of your life.

The Solar Eclipse of May is a point in case. It shines back across the heavens to face Saturn. Relationships around then may not be a barrel of laughs, and particularly any which in the past, you may have taken for granted. If you have tended to be the dominate person in a union, your partner may challenge this. If you have tended to be more centred on your own needs, someone somewhere may steal a Scorpio tactic off you, and tell you, very bluntly, how they feel. None of this is going to be great for your ego or confidence, but you can learn a great deal about yourself and how people see you.

Fortunately, as Jupiter powers into your 9th Solar House in June, things can open up. You can see setbacks more as lessons to be gained from, rather than be clattered by. Unfortunately, from October, your co-ruler Pluto resumes its argument with Uranus, so expect some added tension in the last quarter. More positively, a fab Solar Eclipse in your sign on November 3rd, can see you begin to make sense of all you have encountered thus far.

The great thing to celebrate this year, is that not only has Saturn left your zodiac sign, but also Uranus and Pluto are not going to be nagging away at your peace of mind, quite as sharply as they have for periods of the last two years, well not at least until later in the year. So hopefully the year's first nine months will see a less unsettled and unpredictable time - especially for your vitality, and for your general interactions with other people. It begins in fine style with Mars setting the pace, giving you vim and verve. Mercury and Venus then push things along in the first three weeks of February before the first Mercury retrograde urges you not to overdo things, for three weeks.

Now, Saturn doesn't disappear, it just has a new sphere of influence, and this asks you to count the calories from mid-February to early July. Now of course, being a stylish Libra, the odd tasty morsel is impossible to resist, but with Jupiter bigging up your appetite for life...well, you get the picture. Then there is a Solar Eclipse on 10th May, which is trickier, and especially if balancing the books is proving challenging, or a close intimate relationship is not quite going to plan. If so, these kind of issues can affect your peace of mind. Fortunately, Neptune can help you to navigate this by adjusting your hopes and expectations, and especially of other people.

Jupiter moves and can revive your ambitions, but the Lunar Eclipse in October and Uranus and Pluto tussling again, cautions you to steer clear of anyone who does little to nurture and support you. Finances, rewards and luxuries can be catapulted forwards better from early December, and in turn you can find yourself in the mood to get more active.

Your sign is governed by the irrepressible energies of Mercury. Your gift is for using the nimble mind powers of Mercury practically. Your powers of discretion help you to sort the wheat from the chaff just about better than any other zodiac sign. You spot things, the rest of us don't see. However, this year, there is going to be a lot more nervous energy and business circulating around the heavens for you.

Now, on paper this sounds great, but at times this could leave you feeling drained, and even if you are a natural night owl, everybody needs their beauty sleep - me more than most, and this is something you're going to need to top up at every opportunity. So why is this? The location of Saturn and its retrograde for over five months from mid-February, and the Solar Eclipse of May 2012, are all intrinsically linked to your destiny. More so, because that Solar Eclipse in May is opposite Saturn, a very important astral reference point, one which provides a backdrop of energies through to October. And if you are wanting to open up your world, travel, train, absorb new ways of looking at life, someone, somewhere, may try to stop you. This could be someone close, it could be an authority figure or it could be rules and regulations. And the rule of law can be important too.

Any obstacles like this may prove incredibly frustrating and very stressful. Even everyday conversations could get blighted by politics and rancour. So, find outlets that earth you down. One's that take your mind of all this. Therapeutic massage or reflexology, will be great for your body or pamper yourself with long hot soaks in the tub, and learn to switch off!

For someone as proud as you, it's not always easy to open up and share how you really feel. And remember, your ruler is the Sun, which is the heartbeat of the heavens. Lion's need to keep in trim, and if you are a fantastic natural athlete, and work out regularly, then all well and good. But what about if you like to stick a little nearer to your pride? Well, there is nothing to stop you from walking around the block each day, or going for a swim in the nearby leisure centre or fitness suite.

But that's the more physical side of your health...what about the more emotional implications? This is a year when Saturn is going to be strutting its stuff in an ever more assertive way, and this planet can be a restrictive influence - especially from the 18th February through to 7th July, because during this period, you may find that family, home or personal issues may not always go exactly to plan, and when fortitude is going to be important. However, the solutions are likely to come from realizing that you, just like everyone, has vulnerabilities, and if you choose the right people to work with about this, this year can prove to be very cathartic, a time when you learn a lot about what makes you really tick.

Developing your emotional well-being will become even clearer when Jupiter moves into your 12th Solar House in late June, triggering a year's journey that can surprise you with who and what you encounter. But to really tap into the goodness available, you may have to let that mask of invincibility drop. Once you do, all sorts of good things can follow, so, why not try?

You can begin 2013 full of positive intentions, and why not? Much of the second half of last year was dominated by some testing work or family politics based tensions, due to a tussle between Uranus and Pluto. That's not going to be repeated until later this year, and with Saturn now in your sector of self expression, romance and children, these are the sectors of life which offer rich possibilities, but also potentially some challenges. Now, if you know your astrology, you'll appreciate that Saturn has quite a reputation for being difficult, but if you work hard at things, there is a lot to go for.

It's possible that there are some tests heading in your direction and not necessarily due to your deeds, as other people's attitudes and actions can impact upon you too. So, how do you fabricate yourself against these? Well, making sure your body is as supple as possible will help. And in fact, the more you can stretch, walk, and swim, the more your body will thrive on just the right amount of exercise. You may even find yourself enjoying some team sports, boosted by a fab Solar Eclipse in May. Jupiter in the early part of the year, also continues to encourage you to be open to the possibilities of developing a more spiritual outlook, or to embracing complementary therapies as a way of boosting your health.

The arrival of Jupiter in your sign in June, can however, kick-off a time of more outgoing and lively energies, and can do wonders for your health too. This will be aided by Saturn going forwards from July. Things really rev up for you from mid October, as Mars gives you every assistance to lively up, followed by an ace Solar Eclipse on the 3rd of November, which combines brilliantly with Mars.

There is no getting away from it Gemini, this is a year when you have to take your wellbeing more seriously. Now, that's not saying that anything major is going to go awry, but if you have been putting off giving up the fags, think exercise is for wimps, and are a believer that your body is a shed rather than a temple, well you are in for a rude awakening, because your system is going to be much more sensitive, and you will soon start to feel much more wearisome than in the past, unless you look after yourself. So look to raise your game at every single level.

That means thinking about what you put into your body, making time for proper meals, making them yourself if possible, drinking less, exercising more, and in general being a whole lot more organised about your life, because if you are not, this is where the rub will come. Work strains can also predominate this year, particularly in mid-March, late June and early July, late October and early November. Your natural gift for communication is undoubted, but your nervous system can get over-aroused at these times, especially if things are frustrating and you encounter obstacles.

Don't be too willing to do overtime, or if you work for yourself, develop some external hobbies which provide release. With Jupiter moving in late June, also keep a watching brief on your weight. Keeping trim on the scales is once more going to require self-discipline. Yet...if you can rise to the challenge, you can end this year in really good shape.

Whichever way you look at it, you are probably going to need to engage with other people more this year, and you may not always be in the mood to do so. Relationship pressures can therefore have a direct impact on your health and vitality.
To counter this, you need to understand the planetary patterns at work. Saturn is the big changed influence from early last year. It can demand more of you, it can push you to be more competitive, but it can also see you stub your proverbial big toe - if you try to do too much too quickly. So, pacing yourself is the key. Also, if you are finding life uncomfortable, at least through to the end of June, the temptation may be to go on yo-yo diets, when a more consistent approach would work better.

The good news is that a fab Solar Eclipse in your sign on the 10th of May, can help you to think more positively about your self-image in the following six months, and give you the push to go for the good things you aspire to. However, I must be truthful, and your willpower could be tested in June, when your natural sweet tooth, looks to be born again. This can happen again in October, when the Lunation of the 18th, can also see all your love of those gooey goodies, come home to haunt you. Yet Venus your ruler, doesn't go into retrograde until December this year, and there is an excellent Solar Eclipse on November the 3rd, which can stiffen your resolve to deal with life's natural ups and downs.

The big thing you will notice almost immediately this year, is that you are much less affected by the attitudes of others. You can find yourself more philosophical about all sorts of things, and your energy is going to be a major benefactor of this. So, whether it is the stresses and strains at work, a grumpy boss, or a partner who is less tuned in, for you if changes are needed, you are going to be more accepting, eventually, that they need to come. Good eh? The New Year also begins with your ruler Mars in a fab location, so get cracking on those resolutions. Energy lowers in early March, but by mid-month you'll be getting moving once more.

The Lunar Eclipse at the end of April suggests that some comfort eating may tempt you for a month or so, but try to resist this. The Solar Eclipse of the 10th of May, sees the next six months urging you to eat natural, and to cook where possible from scratch. This "homely" vibe is boosted furthermore all through June, and you may find preparing food, or working out at home, become really attractive. Saturn powers forwards in early July, and money concerns ease.

There can be a new home later that month, or some kind of improvement scheme which comes to fruition. Energy soars in late August through to mid-October, but the Lunar Eclipse in Aries then urges you to learn to delegate. The Solar Eclipse in November, makes you much more conscious of your eliminatory system, and the need to flush out toxins and to be careful with alcohol and sugar laden foods.

In medical astrology, Pisces governs the feet, toes, pituitary gland, fibrin of the blood, and lymphatic system. They are prone to diseases and disorders of these body parts. Some of the diseases include:

• Gout
• Eclampsia
• Lymphoma
• Swollen feet
• Acne
• Lymphedema
• Hodgkin's Disease
• Lymphagitis
• Leukemia
• Dermatitis
• Sleepiness (an issue, not a disease)
• Painful feet
• Shoe sensitivities
• Weakness/Debility
• Edema
• Obesity
• Weak immunity
• Overeating
• Narcolepsy
• Depression
• Excessive sex drive
• Boils
• Itch
• Eruptions from corrupted blood
• Mucous discharges

They also respond well to gentle and diffusive holistic treatments that address the entire system, i.e. homeopathy, herbology, nutritives, reiki, foot reflexology, chakra balancing, hypnotherapy, etc.

This sign also tends to sleep more than any other sign. Most Pisceans take plenty of retreat time to diffuse their consciousness away from worldly stress and housework and sleeping may be a retreat for these creatures.

According to Judith Hill, "It is completely natural and healthful for natives of this sign to eschew hard labor and sleep late. Pisces need plenty of decompressions time." I concur with this as I grew up with a Pisces-Aries cusp mother and lived with a Pisces woman for four years.


Dietary Considerations

Like Taurus the Bull, Pisces likes to indulge in luxury and enjoys eating.

"On account of their fondness for good food and easy life, Piscean people are subject to gout and the swelling of the feet."

Of all signs, none is more prone to addictions than Pisces. "Pisceans must never drink or take drugs because unnatural substances impact them more profoundly than most signs, and may lead to death." - Judith Hill

"The Piscean is prone to drift into the habit of drink and the use of narcotics, especially if we find an affliction of the moon and Neptune in the Horoscope."

Astrological Health Profile

In medical astrology, Aquarius governs the lower legs and ankles so Aquarians are very prone to ankle and lower leg injuries mainly, however, Aquarius are prone to other pathologies that include the following:

•     Anemia
•     Nervous sensitivity
•     Muscle spasms (including Charlie horse)
•     Blood poisoning
•     Insufficient blood
•     Ankle swelling
•     Varicose veins
•     Weak heart
•     Rheumatism
•     Cold extremities
•     Fatigue
•     Spasmodic diseases
•     Low blood pressure
•     Mental extremes
•     Computer addiction

Leg massage is ideal for Aquarius people, especially if the massage incorporates deep tissue and/or lymphatic drainage technique.

Medical astrologer Judith Hill states the following about Aquarius pertaining to health:

    "Aquarius vital force can be easily depleted through excessive involvement in computers and other electromagnetically toxic devices, or exposure to fluorescent lighting. The upper body should be strengthened. Davidson cites that no sign is more responsive to barometric changes than is Aquarius. The Aquarian native needs to build a strong heart muscle. Generally speaking, Aquarians are "healthy" and rarely sick with normal, everyday ailments; instead, their problems are often puzzling and difficult to diagnose. Salt is important for natives of this sign (salt conducts electricity). The Aquarian nervous system needs restful, soothing influences."

Despite a plethora of diseases Aquarius is prone to, Aquarians should embrace and remember the words of astrologer Eleanor Kirk who states:

    "All these ailments, and every other known to man can be entirely dominated, forever cast out, by those who realize that mind is the master, and the body the servant of the mind."

Dietary Considerations

The 12 Cell Salts necessary for optimal health and wellbeing correlate and correspond to the 12 Zodiac signs and thus Aquarius too like all other eleven signs has been assigned a specific and particular cell salt.

The necessary cell salt of Aquarius is Sodium Chloride. Because this cell salt may be difficult to find, supplement it with sea salt (1/4 teaspoon in a glass of room temperature water every morning).

WARNING: Avoid commercial white table salt (sodium chloride), i.e. Morton's Table Salt. Aquarians need to take care of their lower legs and ankles which are areas they are very prone to injury-wise.

Astrological Health Profile

Capricorn governs the following parts of the human body: knees, legs, and bones. Capricorns are prone to diseases, disorders, and injuries to the legs, knees, and bones. More specifically, Capricorns are prone to:

• Rheumatism
• Arthritis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Osteoporosis
• Tendonitis
• Knee problems
• Skin disease
• Dryness of the mucous membranes
• Infertility
• Brittle nails
• Nail fungus
• Freckles
• Keloids
• Mineral and vitamin deficiency
• Bad teeth and gums
• Anorexia
• Constipation
• Uterine complaints

Dietary Considerations

The cell-salt or mineral salt for Capricorn is: Calcium Phosphate.

Capricorns should make sure to always get plenty of calcium. Good natural sources of calcium include most green foods (broccoli, parsley, spinach, etc.) and herbs of alfalfa, oat straw, red raspberry leaf, nettle, horsetail; and seaweeds of kelp, dulse, spirulina, blue-green algae, Irish Moss, and chlorella..

Astrological Health Profile

Sagittarius governs the hips, thighs, liver, sacral region of the spine, coccygeal vertebrae, the sciatic nerves, the femur, the ileum, glutteal or buttocks, and the iliac arteries. Sagittarius is prone to diseases, disorders, and injuries of these particular body parts and organs.

Other diseases and disorders this sign is prone to include:

• Locomotor ataxia
• Sciatica
• Rheumatism
• Hip disease
• Liver disease
• Hepatitis
• Jaundice
• Cellulite (buttocks)
• Stretch marks (buttocks, hips, thighs)
• Athletic injuries
• Spinal issues
• Spinal cord disease
• High blood pressure

"Always on the go, natives of this sign burn the candle at both ends and suffer for it in their later years. Like their mascot the horse, they require sufficient leg exercise and fresh air. This is a healthy sign if the blood pressure is regulated and bodily structure (particularly of the spine, hips and legs) is maintained." - Judith Hill

The Sag female is known by her pronounced hips and thighs and usually has a pronounced rump or rear end (as Sagittarius governs the buttocks). These are physical trademark features of this sign, especially for females of this sign.

If we deal with the metaphysics of certain pathologies pertaining to parts of the body governed or ruled by Sagittarius, we can easily prevent and remedy these certain pathologies.

Because Sagittarians likes to play sports and are athletic, they are subject to and prone to athletic injuries.


Dietary Considerations

The 12 cell salts necessary for optimal health and wellbeing correlate and correspond to the 12 Zodiac signs and thus Sagittarius too like all other eleven signs has been assigned a specific and particular cell salt which is: Silica (Quartz)

Astrological Health Profile

In medical astrology, Scorpio governs the following bodily organs: genitals, reproductive organs, bladder, urethra, and rectum. There is a tendency with this sign to genital afflictions, venereal disease, rectal polyps, as well as sinus and adenoid trouble.

Scorpions are prone to the following diseases and disorders:

• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Uterine tract infections
• Menstrual problems
• Anal fissures
• Hemorrhoids
• Colitis
• Hernias
• Diarrhea
• Crone's disease
• Constipation
• Ulcers
• Prostatitis
• Bladder infection
• Uterine complaints (fibroid tumors)
• Adenoids
• Polyps
• Profuse sweating
• Sinusitis
• Nasal catarrh
• Pelvic inflammatory diseases
• Intense body odor
• Acne
• Poisoned blood
• Parasites
• Candida (yeast infection)
• Piles
• Obsessions

Because Scorpio is the polarity of Taurus, Scorpions can pick up health complaints commonly experienced by Taurus such as neck and throat problems and because Scorpio is also very prone to sinus and adenoid problems, Taurus in the chart during a time of sickness could enhance any troubles with the sinuses and adenoids.

Pluto, co-ruler of Scorpio along with Mars, rules regenerative cell growth as well as the revitalization of the mental faculties. The Chi force in this sign can overcome even the most serious and life threatening of illnesses.


Dietary Considerations
As all 12 Zodiac signs have been assigned a cell salt that helps maintain the health of the particular sign and which the sign requires more of than any other sign or person, Scorpio"s cell salt is Calcium Sulphate.

Astrological Health Profile

In medical astrology, Libra governs the kidneys, bladder, the ureters, lower back, lumbar region of the spine, and the skin and are thus prone to diseases and disorders of these body parts and organs in particular, and the following diseases and disorders in general:

• Sugar Addiction
• Alcoholism
• Lumbago
• Bright's Disease
• Incontinence
• Nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys)
• Eczema
• Acne
• Diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Bladder infection
• Urinary Tract Infection
• Adrenal gland problems
• Venereal disease
• Ovarian problems

Medical astrologer Judith Hill states the following about Libra:

"The vitality of Libra is excellent and the natives are rarely sick. Many Librans demonstrate a curious ability of being able to live off sugar and junk food for years, appearing none the worse for it. Libra gives a relaxed, easygoing chi force and muscular strength independent of exercise. The love of sugar and utter disregard of the laws of health may eventually undo them, as the kidneys and alkaline balance of the blood are sensitive in this sign. Libra would perhaps be the healthiest sign of all, if only its natives took an interest in health matters.

Dietary Considerations

The necessary cell salt of Libra is Carbonate of Sodium or Sodium Carbonate. Librans need to take care of their urinary system (kidneys, bladder, ureters) and lower back.

Libras should avoid eating much meat and dairy products as they are acid forming and impair kidney function. No meat and dairy is best, but if you do choose to consume these products, the less you eat of them - the better! They also need to watch their sugar consumption.

Astrological Health Profile

Zodiac signs govern the entire human body. The part of the body that Virgo governs is the abdomen, stomach, and intestines (colon) in addition to the lower lobes of the liver, the gallbladder, the spleen, the duodenum, and sympathetic nervous system.

Virgos (Maidens) are prone to diseases of these particular organs and systems and must be vigilant against diseases in and of these organs and systems.

As Virgo governs the abdomen, stomach, and intestines, Virgoans have to be aware of their specific astrological-based health needs that are health needs of the digestive and intestinal tract. As they are very mental and analytical being ruled by Mercury, planet of communication they can digest too much information or data at times that can result in physical digestive disorders according to metaphysical law.

According to medical astrology, "Virgo is the natural sixth house, the house which has rule over sickness; hence when Virgo people once get into the clutches of sickness, they are apt to become chronic invalids. Therefore though such people make excellent nurses. And because Mercury also rules the rectum, Virgoans are also prone to rectal problems, i.e. hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding.

Because Virgoans are prone to intestinal problems and complaints, they should make sure to perform enemas weekly or bi-weekly depending on their diet and lifestyle. Colonics are also a great procedure Virgoans should have performed periodically. Enemas and colonics are great to prevent constipation, which the Virgo person, especially the Virgo female, seems to constantly have.


Dietary Considerations

Virgoans should make sure to get adequate amounts of potassium sulfate, which is the necessary cell-salt of Virgo.

Excellent sources of natural potassium sulphate include seaweeds and apples.

Astrological Health Profile

Leo governs the heart, upper back, eyes, blood, spine, aorta, myelin sheaths, and lungs.
Leos are prone to the following diseases, disorders, and injuries:

• Heart disease
• Pleurisy
• Cardiac problems
• Lower back pain/Backache
• Fevers
• Jaundice
• High blood pressure/Hypertension
• Eye diseases
• Scoliosis
• Excessive meat eating
• Alcoholism
• Dehydration
• Stroke

Dietary Considerations

Leo's cell salt (also known as mineral salt or tissue salt) is Magnesium Phosphate. Leos should be sure to get plenty of this particular cell salt in their diet.

Astrological Health Profile

In medical astrology, Cancer governs the breasts, nipples, stomach, digestion (digestive tract); diaphragm, esophagus, lymphatic system (along with Pisces), pancreas, gastric vein, alimentary canal and peristalsis, female reproductive organs (womb), upper ducts of the liver, and serum of the blood.

Cancerians are prone to the following diseases and problems:

• Indigestion
• Depression
• Hiccough
• Flatulency
• Food neurosis
• Dropsy
• Sclerosis
• Breast problems (females)
• Swollen breasts
• Eating disorders
• Weight problems (over and under weight)
• Anorexia
• Edema
• Brain chemistry imbalance
• Sensitive teeth or gums
• Weak stomach
• Fatigue
• Allergies
• Paranoia

Nervous system health and emotional balance is important for this sign. Cancerians are prone to brain chemistry imbalances, depression, and paranoia buttressed by emotional imbalance.


Dietary Considerations

The cell salt for Cancer is Fluoride of Lime. Cancerians use more Fluoride of Lime because this chemical (cell salt) is connected with the keynote of Cancerian activity.

Astrological Health Profile

In medical astrology, Gemini governs the blood, nervous system, shoulder, and lungs. Gemini also governs the hands, arms (not the elbows), fingers, trachea, bronchial tube, lower esophagus, scapula, clavicale, pleura, and the capillaries. Therefore, Geminis are prone to diseases and disorders of these body organs and members.

Geminis are susceptible and prone to the following diseases and disorders:

• Eczema
• Nervous disorders
• Depression
• Speech impediments
• Learning disorders
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Shoulder problems
• Pneumonia
• Bronchitis
• Asthma
• Under eating
• Junk food addictions
• Media and computer addiction
• Neurological burn-out
• Mental illness

It is generally accepted that when a person becomes deficient in their sign's cell salt, sickness, disease, and breakdown results. So when a Gemini becomes deficient in Potassium Chloride, his or her health becomes impaired. Potassium is an element that nourishes the nervous system. Geminis and Virgos require plenty of Potassium Chloride because both of these signs are associated with the nervous system and susceptible to nervous system disorders.


Dietary Considerations

As all signs have a cell or mineral salt assigned to it. The cell salt for Gemini is Potassium Chloride. Geminis use up more of this salt than any other sign and therefore require more of their salt.

Astrological Health Profile

Zodiac signs govern the entire human body. The part of the body that Taurus governs is the neck and throat.

As Taurus governs the neck and throat, Taureans have to be aware of their specific astrological-based health needs that are health needs of the throat and neck areas primarily, and the respiratory system secondarily.

Therefore, Taureans are prone to such diseases and disorders as:

• Itchy/scratchy throat
• Tonsillitis
• Sore throat (hoarseness)
• Hypothyroidism (goiter)
• Hyperthyroidism
• Laryngitis
• Neck pain
• Graves disease
• Bronchitis
• Asthma
• Pneumonia
• Metabolism dysfunction (which leads to weight problems, mostly obesity.)

Taureans need to maintain optimal thyroid function and keep their throats clear. To stimulate the thyroid gland, simply tap your throat three times with your fingertips. Also try doing this whenever you have difficulty expressing yourself.

In addition, neck massage is also important to the health and well being of Taurus individuals.


Dietary Considerations

Taureans tend to gain excess weight and can quickly become obese. Taurus is ruled by Venus and is thus a lover of good food and drink. And because Taurus can be quite lazy, excess pounds gather and add up rather quickly; so the Taurus must move, must be mobile, and should not be sedentary for the sake of their own health.

Taureans should make sure to get adequate amounts of sodium. Sodium is the necessary cell-salt of Taurus. Great sources of natural sodium include Seaweed (dulse, kelp, etc.), Celery, and sea salt.

From time to time, the Taurus individual should gargle with warm water and sea salt, which is for the maintenance of the throat. I also recommend long soaks in hot water and sea salt for Taurus individuals.

Taureans should also get adequate amounts of Iodine in their diet. The best natural source of iodine (organic iodine) is seaweeds: dulse, kelp, spirulina, blue green algae, red marine sea algae, chlorella, Irish Moss, bladder wrack.

Astrological Health Profile


In medical astrology, Aries governs the head, cerebral hemispheres of the brain, the face (minus the nose which is ruled by Scorpio), the upper jaw, and the eyes; and as such, Ariens are subject and prone to diseases, disorders, and complaints of these body parts and organs.

"The signs and planets have always been associated with different parts of the body with the organs within it. Modern astrology has attributed astrological associations to the more subtle organs, such as the endocrine system." - Judy Hall

Ariens are prone to the following diseases, disorders, and complaints:

• Headaches (severe, migraines)
• Neuralgia
• Inflammation
• Fevers
• Sunstroke
• Head Injuries
• Hemorrhages
• Skin eruptions
• Epilepsy
• Stroke
• Baldness
• Psychiatric disturbances
• Alzheimer's disease
• Parkinson's disease
• Nervous toothache
• Gum boils
• Vertigo
• Convulsions
• Aneurism
• Hair lip
• Acne
• Rash
• So-called accidents

As Aries is the polarity or opposite sign of Libra, Ariens can pick up diseases, disorders, and complaints of Libra and are thus subject and prone to Libran health challenges. The same is true of all other signs. Each sign can pick up the negative of its polar or opposite sign.

For optimal health and well-being, Ariens need to avoid stress, eat a balanced and nutritious diet, rest regularly, and control their temper as irritation and agitation drains their energy.

Dietary Considerations

All signs have a corresponding cell salt that a person born under the influence of the sign at birth, uses up more of the cell-salt than others not born under that sign, and as such, the first deficiency that occurs of the person in his or her internal laboratory is this cell-salt, also known as his or her "birth salt", and the various symptoms of his or her ills can be traced primarily, not exclusively, to this depletion.

The cell-salt or birth salt of The Ram (Arien), known as the "brain-worker" is Potassium Phosphate. Potassium Phosphate nourishes the brain fluid and produces the highest rate of vibration in the human body. Ariens really need to take care of their head in general and their brain in particular.

One's astrological chart describes his/her unique constitutional makeup. From this, a medical astrologer can identify health issues he/she is most likely to experience, as well as specific recommendations of what they can do to regain and maintain optimum well-being. Astrology identifies four basic constitutional types: fire, earth, air and water. 

 

The fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, and are considered to possess the most energy and vitality of all the signs. The air signs, Gemini, Libra  and Aquarius, are considered the second most vital, though more reactive to external stimuli. The water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, are more changeable and emotionally reactive. The earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, and possess great steadiness and endurance, though not the vital spark of fire or air. 

The maintenance of health is a process of constant readjustment to change. We each tend to experience periods of excess or deficiency of our constitutional element, which require adjustment of diet, lifestyle or even supplementation.

Fire Signs : Aries / Leo / Sagittarius

Fire rules  the function of internal combustion or digestion—the burning up or absorption of food. Fire also purifies the system by burning off toxins, viruses, bacteria and fungus. Fire signs easily fight disease. Their constitution naturally tends toward high temperatures.

Excess Fire

Fire signs, when unbalanced to excess or overstimulation, are prone to burning themselves out. Excess fire can be impatient and angry, or internalizes it into hypertension, heart problems, ulcers or inflammations. Excess fire is brought back into balance by foods that are cold, moist and heavy, or slow-burning foods that ground energy.

Take	Grains, root vegetables
Avoid	Spicy food, red meat
Remedy	herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, skull cap and valerian.

Low Fire

When your fire is low, it may be hard to burn off or fight disease. Digestion and absorption of food are inadequate. Eat foods that are hot, light, dry and aromatic. Avoid cold foods.

Take	lemon, yoghurt, bitter greens like kale, mustard.
Avoid	dairy products, meat
Remedy	digestive stimulants like cayenne, mustard, cloves, cinnamon,garlic, ginger.

Air Signs: Gemini / Libra / Aquarius

Air rules the nervous and circulatory systems and the function of movement, peristalsis, urination and breathing. Air people are easily stimulated, with quick and extremely sensitive minds that are easily thrown off balance and overwhelmed.

Excess Air

Overactive, restless, sensitive minds and nervous exhaustion plague air signs, as does dry skin, hair and mucus membranes, insomnia and memory loss from systemic overload. Excess air benefits from scheduled windows of quiet, with minimal stimulation, to allow the nervous system to recharge itself.

Take	lightly steamed vegetables, nuts, croutons.
Avoid	Raw foods ,Grains, rootcrops, yeasty foods, refined sugar.
Remedy	enzymes which help in proper absorption of nutrients.

Low Air

When the air element is low, there is difficulty with the flow of energy through the body. A weakened nervous system benefits from mineral supports such as calcium and magnesium, and circulatory stimulants. Eat plenty of raw foods, vegetable juices and sprouted seeds. Oats in   any form—oatmeal, oatstraw tea or oat tincture, are tonifying to a weak nervous sytem without being sedating.

Take	Gingko, cayenne, garlic, ginger, yoghurt, kefir.
Remedy	dandelion root or angostura bitters .

Water signs: Cancer / Scorpio / Pisces

The water element rules the reproductive and lymphatic systems and body liquids—including blood, mucus and lymph. Water lubricates, flushes and cools the body. Water signs are exceptionally sensitive to their environment, particularly to fungi, bacteria and viruses.

Health issues for water signs generally have a strong emotional component. Water sign people easily pick up negativity from others.   They tend to brood on their health and imagine problems to be greater than they are. Their health problems tend to recur in cycles.

Excess Water

These people tend toward sluggish digestion, poor assimilation and slow metabolism. Stagnant excess water may manifest as mucus, cysts, tumors and swellings, as well as systemic candida. Excess water can manifest as weight problems. It is seldom helpful to decrease dietary intake alone. Better results come from increasing the metabolic rate, decreasing the liquid intake, changing the diet and increasing physical activity.Excess Water is balanced by foods that are hot, dry and light.

Take	steamed vegetables, beans, fruits.
Avoid	oily foods, diary, sweets, yeasty foods, breads and salt.
Remedy	sage, basil and thyme, Diuretics such as parsley, uva ursi and juniper berries, Chapparal, garlic and olive leaf

Low Water

Low Water constitutions have trouble flushing toxins from their systems, and lack lubrication to their systems. They tend to be stiff and dehydrated and have difficulty sleeping. They suffer from conditions similar to excess air, such as skin and hair dryness and difficult absorption of nutrients. They find it hard to accept emotional nourishment. Take baths, drink plenty of liquids, and live near water.Melons, cucumbers and other moist and fleshy vegetables help balance this constitution Don't fast, take care with extreme exposure to heat or sunlight and take extra salt with exertion or warm weather.

Take	wheat, rice, oats, seaweed, dairy products and natural sugars .
Avoid	beans and natural diuretics such as carrots, celery, cabbage and asparagus
Remedy	licorice sweetened with honey, Fruit juices

Earth Constitution :Taurus / Virgo / Capricorn

The earth element rules the skeletal and eliminatory systems. The earth element is essential for growth, reproduction and repair of tissue. Earth signs tend toward weight problems, tumor growth or glandular disorder. Overeating and a diet of heavy foods create excess earth, which is aggravated by lack of exercise and sedentary habits. They often have beautiful strong teeth.

The earth signs have strong sense impressions and thrive on contact with the earth. Theirs is a strength of endurance and persistence. They are more resistant to transient colds and flu than fire or air signs.

Excess Earth

Excess earth is prone to heaviness in the body and sluggishness in the system, and the struggle to overcome inertia. Their digestion and metabolism are slow, increasing density of body tissue—i.e. thick skin, sclerosis, calcium deposits, tumors and increased body hair.

Take	fruit- salads, sprouts ,steamed vegetables with spices added, juices, soups and teas .
Avoid	heavier diets
Remedy	bitter tonics such as gentian or Swedish bitters, hot spices such as ginger, black pepper and cayenne

---

Low Earth

Low earth needs grounding. These people tend to ignore their bodies and are not instinctive about what they need. They need routines that stabilize them and give a sense of security. They need more sleep than other elements, and benefit from physical contact with the earth.

Take	meat, potatoes, unrefined grains, root crops ,dairy,vegetables steamed , cheese, butter,sugar and oil .
Avoid	fruits and raw foods
Remedy	demulcents such as licorice and slippery elm, seaweed and minerals, Ginseng, astragalus, ahashwaganda.
