Aries in Health
The parts of the body that are ruled by Aries are the head, nose, sinus, brain, muscular tissues and adrenal gland. You are probably quite accident-prone through excessive haste, and may incur cuts or bruises to the head. Fevers and feverish conditions are typical as well. Recurrent headaches or migraines are common, especially as symptoms of stagnation in your physical life, or if there is no balance.
Taurus in Health
You have a slow metabolism which means that you gain weight easily and you find it difficult to lose weight. You need to try to increase the rate of metabolism by exercise. The throat and the thyroid gland are ruled by Taurus and can be quite vulnerable. Whenever you get a cold, it is most likely to start out as a sore throat.
Gemini in Health
You have a high metabolism because of your equally high level of nervous energy. This energy needs plenty of expression, both physically and mentally, although you easily reach the point of breakdown through overwork. It is very important for you to have time to relax, but you may get so caught up in your frenzied activity, that you do not realise that you are reaching the limit of your capabilities and find yourself totally unable to unwind. This can lead to serious problems.
The areas of the body ruled by Gemini are the arms, hands and shoulders (you are probably quite dexterous), the lungs and chest area, and the nervous system.
Cancer in Health
Generally speaking, you have a tough resilient system, although if you are worried you suffer from digestive problems, such as food disagreeing with you, ulcers or skin problems. Cold, shivery conditions are also common with those with their Sun in Cancer. When you do come down ill, you carry on bravely.
The areas of the body traditionally associated with the sign of Cancer are the breasts, the chest and the alimentary system, which includes the oesophagus, gall bladder, stomach, bile ducts, pancreas and intestines. Your complexion doesn't fare so well out in the sun, so you really need to protect it. Cancerian women often feel their best whilst they are pregnant.
Leo in Health
Leos are hot-blooded creatures who rarely enjoy the cold and can suffer from various circulatory ailments in the cold weather. The areas of the body that are particularly vulnerable are the heart and the spine. You have a generally high level of energy, but it is quite possible to overtax it and experience burn-out. If you experience clinging coughs and colds, or an ongoing feeling of being unwell, it may be because you are reacting to your style being cramped by someone or something.
Virgo in Health
Your high levels of physical and nervous energy must be positively used or else you become physically ill. The stomach, in particular, suffers when you are unduly stressed. You may go off your food, suffer from stomach-aches, migraines or headaches, and even ulcers and skin problems due to an afflicted nervous system. It doesn't help that when you are sick, you are able to worry yourself even sicker. The answer lies in self-analysis, which you are very good at. Sit down and quietly assess what the problem is, resolve it, and you will find that your physical well-being improves because you have an otherwise quite robust system.
Virgos are usually very interested and concerned with their diet, and many may be vegetarian. You find it difficult to relax completely, so learning specific relaxation techniques may be beneficial.
Libra in Health
You are energetic and can get through quite a lot of work, although it seems as though you take everything at a slow almost languid pace. As with everything, you need to use your energies in a balanced way, steadily and evenly. Because your metabolism is fairly slow, it is a good idea for you to build it up through exercise. This also helps to keep the kilos off, which partly because of your sweet tooth, can be a problem for you.
The areas of the body ruled by Libra are the kidneys, the lower back and the parathyroids which help regulate the balance of body fluids.
Scorpio in Health
With your high energy level, you need physical exercise. Your biggest health problem is your unwillingness to discuss your health problems with anyone, be they doctor or friend. You prefer to try to treat yourself, often using drastic methods. If you don't open up about any emotional or psychological problems you might have, they will seriously affect your emotional and physical well-being. Most illnesses that affect you usually have a blockage as their cause, whether psychological or physical and free exercise of your mind and body can help prevent these blockages from forming. You may have trouble from extremely vivid and frightening dreams. Putting on weight can be a problem for you, but avoid the temptation to see crash diets as the answer.
Typical Scorpio problems may include troubles with the reproductive system, constipation, haemorrhoids, urogenital problems, minor throat ailments and varicose veins.
Sagittarius in Health
You need regular exercise, or else you become so restless that it's hard to live with you. You can be quite accident-prone, because your love of adventure leads to your taking unnecessary risks. Fat collects all too easily on your thighs and hips and you aren't very good at dieting, simply because you enjoy your food and drink so much. However, a strict diet may just appeal to your liking for challenge. The pituitary, or growth gland, is also governed by Sagittarius. If you find that you are depressed, you can probably trace it back to claustrophobic living conditions or personal relationships.
Capricorn in Health
The typical types of problems that Capricorns suffer from are stiffening of the joints and problems with the teeth and bones. This is because the skeleton is ruled by Capricorn. Other parts of the body also related to Capricorn are the skin, the spleen and the gall bladder. The skin tends to be rather sensitive although beautiful. You need to keep active all throughout your life to stop your joints from stiffening up and maintain physical mobility. In sporting activities, take care to guard yourself against cuts and bruises on your knees and shins, as these are particularly vulnerable. Capricorns are usually superb athletes because they are able to apply the self-discipline that is present in their everyday life to the sport. High jump, long jump, mountaineering and rock climbing are Capricorn favourites, as is golf, because business interests can be furthered via a friendly game of golf.
One interesting fact about Capricorns is that they don't mind the cold. Visitors to their homes often ask if they can put the heat up!
Aquarius in Health
You respond well to unorthodox medicine and may already show an active interest in it. If you are cramped in your living conditions or your lifestyle, this can reveal itself in lingering ill health. Your circulation is extremely vulnerable, and you may suffer from varicose veins and hardening of the arteries. Your ankles and calves are also especially vulnerable, and you may suffer from more complaints in these areas than usual. It is important for you to keep active because you can be prone to backaches, rheumatic and arthritic conditions.
Pisces in Health
You have a very sensitive system which is unconsciously affected by the atmosphere surrounding you. You may steer clear of traditional medicine because you may find that you respond negatively to many medically administered drugs. When you are stressed, you are the most vulnerable, especially to headaches and digestive upsets. You have a strong tendency towards addiction.
The weak point of your body is your feet. You may like to go barefoot as much as possible.
