From the beginning, Astrology was applied to the body and to healing. The energy levels that are worked on do not end in the characteristics of personality, psyche, or soul, as is commonly believed. Perhaps the branch of disease prevention and body care is currently little explored, but no less useful for that. Since ancient times, esoteric treatises related the 12 signs with parts of the body and organs or fluids.
When an organ, body point, chakra, or part of the body suffers an imbalance due to a disease, there is an imbalance in the energy that governs it.
Simple example: if you are a Leo and you suffer from a heart problem, it is most likely that you are not connecting with that energy (on the physical plane) of vitality and expansion of life that Leonine proposes.
Although we will not get to explore all the energy imbalances and diseases that can be unleashed in the body (because for that we should include aspects, houses, and other issues that go beyond this article), we want to provide a general guide.
Aries
As part of the body, it governs the head, the skull, and the senses that are housed there. The face is that part with which we first went out into the world, and that is why it is number 1, the expression and manifestation.
The possible imbalances of the Arians usually come from behaviors that are carried away, risky, and clumsy, typical of the uncontrollable fire they have. Blows to the head are common, and accidents and cuts with sharp elements as well. They have to take care of their eyes, ears, nose (sinusitis is frequent), and teeth.
Also (its ruler Mars) is related to blood and iron. So you have to take care of the lack of that mineral in the body. Clotting problems, wounds, and blood pressure (red face and red eyes) are also possible and frequent. Take care of excesses of passion, lack of control, and the body’s defenses to attack possible viruses that enter through the nasal and oral routes. High fever is a very Aries symptom.
Taurus
The bull has to do particularly with the area of the throat, larynx, and thyroid gland. These Taureans usually have very powerful and striking voices, but they also have to take care of themselves and exercise it, because an energetic overload in the laryngeal chakra can cause nodules or hoarseness, as well as laryngitis and other inflammations.
It is recommended to do neck exercises and exercise the vocal cords, to keep the area moving and with energy circulation.
The toxins that go around the body are another problem for bullfights because they can cause various disorders if they are not purified with diets from time to time. Excess alcohol, powerful and abundant meals, and cigarettes. The enjoyment of life has its limit. As bullfighting organisms are intensely cumulative and retentive, routines must be accompanied by movement, by taking out what is useless.
Gemini
It governs the hands, extremities, and phalanges that are used for communication (how many times we speak and move our hands). Touching and experimenting are twin skills. The lungs also belong to Gemini, the place where the air enters and exits, a vital connection with the world and a fundamental element. Be careful with respiratory tract poisoning. Bronchitis, chest pains, and asthma are common ailments.
The nervous system is also related to Gemini, who tends to overload the mental chakra with overwhelming thoughts. A lot of thinking lowers their vitality and distances them from the connection with motor skills, the body, and the specific weight that connects them with the earth.
Cancer
The stomach and the breasts have to do with this sign. They symbolize nutrition (mammary glands that feed the baby) and food processing, necessary for survival. The stomach is one of the organs of synthesis, where what we ingest through the mouth is finished amalgamating.
The solar plexus is directly linked to emotions, which is why Cancerians, when they suffer an imbalance of this type, generally unload there and have digestion issues or stomach pains. If something does not work well or some situation/emotion cannot be digested, it produces reflux, nausea, and vomiting.
The stomach is very sensitive to the type and condition of the food it receives. Also, the bond with the mother (and her difficulties) is processed through this organ.
Leo
The place par excellence that represents Leo is the heart and circulatory system. As chakra is the heart, which has to do with the possibility of giving and receiving love; also with the ability to express oneself, openly display oneself, manifest oneself, and beat intensely with desire. If a lion or a lion has a good connection with the passions of her life, a good way out, and a level of dedication and love, her heart can be healthy for many years.
In general, it is said that the natives of this sign have a very strong heart, which lives and survives for many years. In general, they are toned bodies, with good cardiorespiratory capacity.
When the chakra is closed or weakened, there can be anything from palpitations, congenital conditions (especially in the case of Leo Ascendant) cardiac arrests, arrhythmia, and chest pain (including muscle). You have to work with meditations that open the chest and try to maintain a straight posture that favors high self-esteem.
Virgo
As its function in the zodiac is to discriminate, separate and analyze to optimize resources, it is not surprising that the governing party is the intestines… They separate the useful from the useless. When there are retention, disorders, and difficulties to go to the bathroom regularly, it is because a Virginian side of order is not working.
In general, it is due to excessive control that is also expressed in life itself. It is linked to the root chakra, like Scorpio, one of the most primitive and linked to survival.
As Virgo is an extremely mental sign, it is likely that you want to control the autonomic processes of the body in a conscious way, and then you end up being less fluent. You have to work a lot on confidence in the knowledge of the body itself and in homeostasis, the ability to balance. It was recently discovered that the intestine is a second brain, so obsessions and worries directly affect it.
Libra
It governs the part of the body associated with the kidneys, bladder, and lower back. These are responsible for maintaining the balance of fluids in the body. They are a filter for impurities and excesses in the blood. It corresponds to the second chakra, the sacrum. In general, the natives of Libra react very badly to imbalances and any excess can greatly weaken them. Especially the emotional and residual charges that cannot be finished cleaning the body.
Stones and kidney stones have to be prevented with balanced and varied diets. You also have to control the mental aspect so that it is not out of information, it is another factor that causes disorders.
Scorpio
It is also related to the root chakra, but this time from the sexual organs. They are the genitals and the reproductive function of the species. Also tied to the most basic instincts of fear, passion, survival, and dependencies. All sexual taboos, from the religious sacralization of virginity to the idea of masturbation associated with sin, have hindered the powerful energies that are stored at the base of the spine. Many contemporary exercises aim to awaken the kundalini (sleeping sexual energy) that we all carry within to raise it to higher areas.
Scorpio health disorders range from infertility, going through all ovarian, uterine, and prostate conditions to sexual addiction, which is also an impossibility to accumulate energy and sustain it in that place of power. Viral diseases that spread massively are also Scorpio’s terrain.
Sagittarius
The hips, thighs, and joints are the sensitive places of the centaur. In general, it is said that the Sagittarius bodies (Sun or Ascendant) are large, corpulent, with marked features. Its place of power is the hips, which communicate the upper part with the lower extremities. This being halfway between the search for an ideal and the land, characterizes them.
As they have to work on mental expansion and belief systems and faith, the more inflexible, packed, and stuck in one-sided and closed thinking (“Pope” archetype), the more pain, inflexibility, and lack of lubrication in joints they will have. More sprains, hip fractures, and osteoarthritis will suffer. The lit Sagittarius, well standing in the world and experimenters, will rise on their two legs and have ultra-resistant bodies.
As in the case of Taurus, we put an alert on the capacity for enjoyment, which is a lot but that directly impacts the liver, another of the organs linked to Sagittarius (because it completes another stage of synthesis). Be careful not to drink all the time. The liver suffers in silence but it is the shield of the heart, and also has a great influence, if it is intoxicated, on people’s anger and irritability.
Capricorn
The skeletal system belongs to the body terrain of goats. The skeleton, the spine, and the bones are what sustain us in the world. They give structure to the rest of the body’s organs and survive us after death. The saturnine function (Saturn ruling Capricorn) is the one that gives structure to all things.
When there is bad calcification, when there are frequent fractures or bone malformations, we think that what is failing is the Capricorn, that we have to better stand on the ground, be attentive and firm, self-sustaining and rooted. In general, the natives of this sign tend to have strong bones and well-formed teeth, although the energetic imbalance leads them to suffer some fractures. Also, cervical ailments and contractures are very typical of this sign. They sustain a lot of stress, it is difficult for them to stop working, and they carry too many responsibilities on their backs this ends up affecting their posture and compressing their organs.
Aquarius
The calves are the quintessential Aquarian place, the ones that allow the body to jump and rise, as a metaphor for elevation to other realities and worlds. When the calves hurt, sprain, or break, the Aquarians’ need to play, be free, and create is affected. This sign, ruled by the planet Uranus, is also related to brain and neural connections.
Pathologies such as Alzheimer’s, forgetfulness, disconnection, and distractions or forgetfulness, are typical of an excess of neuronal activity, electrical overload, and wear. They can also suffer from anemia, and energy leaks due to a lot of dispersion. Watch out for nervous states that lower defenses. Another part of the circulatory system also has to do with Aquarius.
Pisces
Feet are Pisces, which is why they can be very resistant to being touched, or quite the opposite, loving having their feet massaged. As the nerve endings of the entire body are located in the feet, it is important that they be kept active, in contact with the earth, sand, or with massages.
The skin, the organ that surrounds the body, is a Piscean par excellence. It is the one that connects us with the entire environment in which we live and the one that gives us the possibility of approach, contact, openness, and pleasure. When Pisceans (Sun or Ascendant) feel very exposed or feel that the emotional world is overwhelming them, they often suffer from allergies, rosacea, and other more complex skin problems.
This is because they do not appreciate the powerful closeness of life that surrounds them and moves them, as they capture very subtle energies, they usually have auras that are permeable to any type of vibration and that easily alter them. Let’s understand your overflows, irritations, and sudden redness.
