Health Problems by Sign (continued)

Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
We find Libra balancing the body through the kidneys and bladder like a scale. Of course, drinking plenty of clear water is one way to maintain the Libra function in the body; but it's also important for Libra to keep clarity in their relationships with other people. If they neglect either, they could find themselves at the heartbreak hotel, as well as the urologist.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
The intensity of Scorpio is well matched with the bodily functions of the reproductive and excretory systems. This literally puts Scorpio at the threshold between life and death. In nutrition, this means plenty of fiber and roughage in their diets. In general, it's never too good for Scorpio to hold onto emotions or anything else for too long.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
As Sagittarius rules over the thighs and the sciatic nerve (the longest nerve in the body), the clear path to health is to exercise those legs as often as possible. Jupiter, as the largest planet in our solar system, is also the ruler of Sagittarius and the liver, the largest bodily organ. This provides us with another health counter-intuitive clue by actually advocating moderation in enjoying the finer things in life like alcohol, for instance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Capricorn resonates with our skeletal structure. Natural calcium sources in milk and leafy vegetables maintain the strength of our bones. However, if Capricorns become too rigid in their thinking, they're likely to suffer problems with arthritis, rheumatism and fragile bones and teeth.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Aquarians love networking and building a community. In the body, this is most akin to the nervous and circulatory systems. Like Capricorns, Aquarians are susceptible to arthritis from poor circulation, especially if the mind is involved more than the heart. On the other hand, if they become too ambitious and zealous in their humanitarian endeavors, they're also prone to having nervous disorders as well.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
The Fish is traditionally associated with the feet; however, in more modern times, astrologers also connect Pisces with the lymphatic system, which maintains our immune system. It's important for Pisceans to get plenty of dreamtime and rest, as nothing compromises the immune system faster than a lack of sleep.
