Get your mind, body and spirit in sync and on the path to healthy living. The Lunar Diet & Fitness Astrology Forecast offers personalized recommendations about diet, nutrition and exercise.

    Each astrological sign governs, or is associated with, a different part of our individual bodies. As we attune ourselves to each sign, we can anticipate and alleviate the health problems that materialize. At one time in human history, one couldn't be a practicing physician without strong knowledge of astrology, but we indeed no longer live in such times. We then advise you to continue following the advice of your medical or healthcare professionals. This article helps to anticipate what health problems could arise based on your Sun sign, and offers common-sense preventive health tips.

    Aries (March 21 to April 19)
    Ruling the head, Aries can make one more prone to headaches, particularly migraines. Aries likes to be on the go and this sounds exciting, but it may also put a lot of stress and strain on the membrane. It also makes the Aries more prone to accidents and blows to the head. Find time to relax and avoid rushing.

    Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
    Often associated with the throat, Taureans are particularly susceptible to throat infections, goiters and problems with the thyroid. The throat area deals with how we generate love and express our unique talents and abilities. If they block their blessings and creativity, Bulls could come to face trouble in the areas cited.

    Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
    Gemini rules the lungs and respiratory system. If we find ourselves always on the run, including our minds and mouths, then we deplete vital energies from our lungs. This could make Gemini vulnerable to recurring colds, bronchitis and asthma. It's good for Gemini to find time to breathe through meditation and mental stillness.

    Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
    Our guts and stomach are watched over by Cancer. As the Moon governs both Cancer and our emotions, Cancers have to watch strong emotions, as they tend to raise the tides of acids and fluids in our bodies. One secret to Cancerian health is to ride the low tides of one's emotions when preparing and eating meals.

    Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
    The Sun, as the heart of our solar system, is Leo's ruler. In the human body, Leos are prone to heart ailments and back problems, as the spine is the "heart" of our nervous system. Overall, generosity of spirit (but not too much), aerobic exercise and chlorophyll -- found in leafy green vegetables, for example -- will keep the Leo roaring.

    Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
    As an analytical sign of the zodiac, the energy of Virgo resonates most with the digestive tract in the human body, where food is completely broken down. However, if a Virgo confuses analysis with worry, then he or she can expect ulcers and other digestion problems. Calming teas like chamomile will help.
