Health byHoroscope

Aries health is generally good, as these are the sorts of people who never seem to get sick, even in the worst winter weather. Willpower alone seems to suffice to stave off illness. It is only when their guard is down, due perhaps to a perceived loss, that the Aries native will succumb to disease, usually a fever, as befits the cardinal Fire Sign. Accidents as a result of over-activity are also quite common, and the rambunctious Aries needs to remember to take the time to stretch carefully before performing physical exercise. Stress-related symptoms that may occur in members of this on-the-go Sign include migraine headaches, backaches, baldness and the inevitable acne. A certain tendency towards epilepsy may also be noted here, albeit rarely.

Taureans in general have an excellent complexion and good skin tone. They may tend towards the heavy side in terms of weight, but a little exercise is sufficient to convert this wayward mass into solid muscle. The internalizing of emotions may serve to cause peptic ulcers over time, or trigger a severe depression. The mouth, neck and throat are traditionally associated with this Sign, so there is a risk of upper respiratory disease ranging from strep throat to lung cancer. Constipation is also a Taurean risk and may again be associated with the suppression of negative emotion. Should any serious injury occur, our good Bull is able to withstand stoically nearly any amount of pain, and one will never hear complaints from the hospital bed.

There is no such thing as an unhealthy Gemini, as long as they have room to roam and aren't kept confined, either mentally or physically. They are never truly at rest, but know when to transfer action from the body to the mind, or vice versa. The arms and hands are the body parts traditionally associated with this Sign, so beware broken limbs (most likely as the result of a sporting accident). There is also a tendency for coughs, colds, and other lung-based complaints. A Gemini may develop psychosomatic stress disorders (of a variety of minor types) if they perceive themselves to be tied down to a particular job or situation that they have ceased to regard as appropriate. True health is a function of true freedom for these wanderers.

Most of the health problems of the Cancer personality are caused by an excess of worry regarding threats to the hearth and home. Depression may be the result of lack of attention on the part of their loved ones, but the real indication of a true health hazard is when Cancerians stop complaining. They get very stoic when actually ill. Said illnesses seem to center on the digestive tract, and may also manifest themselves as eating disorders. The entire alimentary canal is traditionally associated with this Sign, as well as the uterus for those who have them, so look out for, ahem, cancer of the related organs. The key to overall good health is plenty of leisure time in which to truly relax (no passive worrying: clear your mind!), and preferably on or near the seashore, although in a pinch any sort of water will do.

The typical Leo is a happy and healthy sort who would never breathe a word of complaint against the nature of being. It is only when they are stymied in their goals, or deprived of emotional feedback, that Leos lose their habitual goal and become gloomy and withdrawn. Even then it isn't for long, though. A Leo's woes are more likely to be physical, with high fevers, sudden illnesses and even more sudden accidents being typical. Recuperation can often feel like an unwanted weakness to a Leo, so they are often up and about much sooner than would be medical feasible. But even the mighty Lion requires a bout of rest once in awhile, so be sure not to push the needle too far into the red for too long, or something is bound to give way under such punishment.

The lower portion of the alimentary canal, the intestines and colon, are traditionally associated with the Sign of the Virgin, so Virgos ought to look out for digestive upsets and drink plenty of water to keep their system in peak condition. Rectal polyps or colon cancer may be evident in old age if plenty of fiber isn't consumed in youth. There may also be troubles with hernias, malnutrition or the lymphatic system as well. All in all, Virgos are a sturdy bunch with strong inclinations towards hypochondria, so there may not be anything truly wrong with them. A bit of encouragement is needed when they're on their sickbed for them to recover as quickly as possible, as they love being fussed over. Virgos need to learn how to relax effectively to avoid stress-related symptoms.

The typical Libran may manifest tendencies towards frequent illness if obliged to live and work alone for long periods of time. Otherwise, they are very healthy, and thrive in surroundings that are calm, peaceful and well decorated. The abdomen and lower back are those portions of the body traditionally associated with this Sign, and Libras ought to watch out for back problems in later life, and get plenty of sacroiliac support in the meanwhile. The kidneys, liver and skin are also at risk. Whatever the problem, a Libra will always present a stoic face to the general public, while in private they prefer to be fussed over and pampered. Such an approach to the healing process will be sure to have them on their feet in no time.

The bodily regions typically associated with the Sign of the Scorpion include the legs, feet, spine and reproductive organs, so any major diseases or injuries will focus around these areas. Scorpios are rarely ill, but when they are it is almost invariably life threatening. They may inadvertently bring about the downfall of their own health by being too hard on themselves, whether mentally or physically. A series of accidents may become manifest due the Scorpio's incessant drive, as they are rushing about trying to take care of business. A variety of other ailments may arise, including nose and throat problems, herniated discs, hemorrhoids and erectile dysfunction in those equipped with external genitalia.

The nates, the pelvis, the thighs and the lumbar vertebrae are all areas of concern for the health-conscious Sagittarius. Not much concern, though. The bouncy and energetic life force inherent in these natural athletes is enough to cure a million cases of the common cold. Rheumatic arthritis is a common affliction later in life, as are diseases communicable through animals. Sagittarius people are overly fond of animals and tend to be closely involved with them in their daily routine. Asthma may rear its ugly head as well. Sagittarians like to take lots of risks, so injuries from sporting accidents and the like are unfortunately very common among members of this Sign. Hedonistic excess in fine food and drink may also cause digestive problems, or obesity.

The throat, the teeth and the knees are all traditionally associated with the Sign of the Goat, so special attention should be paid by the Capricorn native to the maintenance of good oral hygiene. Stretching before exercise is also important. Sober and temperate in lifestyle, these hardy individuals are capable of surviving to great ages, if the constant bugbears of worry, heavy responsibilities and general pessimism don't take their toll first. Individuals of this Sign will find that their resistance to disease will increase as they get older, making them even healthier in their so-called declining years. Capricorns as children tend to be a bit sedentary. It's important to instill good physical fitness patterns at an early age to avoid future problems.

The eyes, the lungs and the ankles are the regions of the body that are traditionally associated with the Sign of the Water Bearer, so any first line of defense against affliction for the Aquarius person should be founded on these principle strong points. Prone to imaginary afflictions and phobias of every sort, many of the things that ail an Aquarius need only to dissipate and mysteriously as they arrived, although for the duration they can cause major discomfort. Hypnosis may be a suitable cure for psychosomatic disorders characterized by a great deal of mental activity. In later life, circulatory disorders of a decidedly real variety may come to pass, and the Aquarius person will be lucky if they are limited solely to varicose veins in the legs.

The glandular system and the feet are the incongruous areas of the body traditionally associated with the Sign of the Fishes. Piscean natives are urged to wear comfortable shoes at all times. A Pisces without adequate outlet for his or her dreams and fantasies may become morbid or withdrawn, and may take to the excessive consumption of drugs or alcohol in order to escape from the extreme emotional distress this may engender. An acute psychological depression may also ensue. The sensitive Piscean psyche suffers greatly in times of stress and has very few personal reserves to draw upon to stiffen their resistance. Once ill, it is a long, hard uphill journey before wellness is again arrived at for the Fishes.
