Star Signs and Health

Sun Signs and Health

When interpreting a chart, not only must the Sun sign be considered but many other factors before an overall impression can be made. However, certain areas of the body and ailments are associated with certain signs. Often an illness may be associated with the sign opposite, for instance Arians may be affected by illnesses related to the sign Libra and vice versa.

Aries and Health

Aries rules the head and eyes which is why headaches, migraine, tension and eyestrain can be associated with this sign. Being of an impulsive nature, Aries could be accident-prone. They should take care to take time off to relax for they have a tendency to overwork themselves and, being such an active person, they will become restless and irritable if and when they do become ill.

Taurus and Health

Taurus rules the throat and neck region. It is not uncommon, therefore, for the Taurus to suffer from throat infections, asthma, ear and dental infections. Because the Taurus enjoys the good things of life including good food, weight may become a problem especially later in life and it would therefore be wise for them to take regular exercise.

Gemini and Health

Mentally agile, energetic and always on the go, Geminis might find it hard to relax. They should however take sensible steps in order to avoid exhaustion. Sleep will be particularly important to their health. Gemini rules the lungs, the hands and arms and the nervous system and is associated with such illnesses as bronchitis, pneumonia, colds and nervous ailments.

Cancer and Health

Cutting down on rich foods and eating plenty fresh fruit and vegetables should help towards better health in the long run.

Leo and Health

Although the Leo enjoys a challenge and tends to accept a great deal of responsibility, unless they learn to recognise their limits the result could be overwork leading to stress and stress-related illnesses. Having a strong constitution, they should generally recover quickly when they are ill. Illnesses associated with this sign are rheumatic fever, heart disease and back ache.

Virgo and Health

However at times they may concern themselves over much with health and imagination may then play an important role in their ailments. The Virgo is really quite a sensitive person so nerves could upset their stomach and they may be prone to indigestion.

Libra and Health

Libra rules the kidneys and lumbar region. Since the Libran is extremely sensitive to disharmony and arguments this could affect them through stress which may then lead to kidney complaints. Balance is important to Libra and this includes regular meals and regular sleep. Without their required amount of sleep they will become irritable.
