ASTROLOGICAL DIET AND HEALTH
Mitch Lopate :Some observations on this very unique part of
astrology: the study of the human system and its physiological
needs and components is fascinating because it comprises both
the mechanics and the dynamics of how we function within the
principles of the zodiac’s existence. Foods, herbs, flowers,
fragrances, colors, and even sounds are found in the signs.
Therefore, astrological physiology plays an integral role in the
maintenance of the body and its requirements.
Aries will likely have some presence of force or power from their
head, or have ear-nose-throat problems. Headaches are alsoproblems. Arians need potassium, so tomatoes and bananas are
a must. Garlic and onions are also an Aries food. Because they
can be so active, Aries often need mini-meals or sustained
nutrition rather than large servings from a routine schedule.

Taurus may be inclined to gain weight and have an overall
thickness to the body; over-eating is a weakness. A sweet tooth
is also a culprit here. Their singing helps exercise the throat.
The thyroid, vocal cords, tonsils, and neck are areas of
emphasis. They are sensitive to sodium sulphate, whichcontrols water in the body. Celery, cucumber, and raw nuts
provide this; natural iodine in fish also helps the thyroid.
Gemini need dexterity toys as children: musical instruments,
especially keyboards; coloring and movement for their hands,
and games of catching objects. The lungs and upper respiratory
system can be vulnerable; the nerves can be high-strung and
tense. Stimulants should be avoided, such as coffee or sugar.Mini-meals may also suffice. The body salt potassium chloride
is needed: lettuce, celery, almonds, and apples will help.
Smoking should clearly be avoided, as this is a direct challenge
to a Gemini’s lungs!
Crab-Moon Children will get an upset stomach faster than most
over internalizing emotional issues that turn to tears and
frustration. More than any other sign, they are the most
sensitive to the meaning and timing of the Moon’s phases. The
breasts and digestive system are vulnerable. Calcium chloride
is needed: lettuce, broccoli (steamed, not boiled, to save
nutrients), yogurt, and tomatoes will help. Spicy food is a risk!
Milk and dairy are often recommended (but not advised due to
mucous build-up). Pineapple and papaya fruit are especially
helpful for digestion.

Crab females especially, are more tuned to the lunar phases
of the Moon’s gravitational pull on the water levels (i.e.,
hormones and neurotransmitter flow during their menstrual
cycle). Emotional sensitivity and response to stimuli of any kind(especially social or personal issues) will kick off the worry and
fears that make a Crab into a “sourball.”
A Leo is a born sun worshipper; they need more solar energy
than other signs. This does not mean they can ignore the
warnings about skin cancer and the sun. Their heart and cardio
system are key areas; the upper back and spine are others.
Leos need magnesium phosphate, available in figs, egg yolk,sunflower seeds, and romaine lettuce. Meats are also
important; iron is a second need, and cashews, dates, and
raisins can help, along with oranges, beets, and spinach.
Virgos need to be exceptionally careful about their digestion;
the stress and worry they put themselves through (especially a
Virgo ascendant) will play havoc on the intestines: colitis,
bowel problems, skin eruptions, and distress is the result.
Analytical by nature, Virgos (and ascendants) should limit their
intake of animal flesh and focus instead on vegetables and
greens. Lemons will clear their digestive system, and potassium
sulphate

Libras should mind their kidneys, and females should keep tabs
on their ovaries. One of the blessings of a Libra ascendant is
beauty in some form; the social graces are also enhanced. The
subject has a charming personality that may mask a subversivenature if there are other indications to support this (such as a
Scorpio moon). The skin quality is often supple and needs extra
attention to maintain a youthful appearance. The lumbar (lower
spine), and buttocks are also areas, and the throat and skin are
secondary. Relationships and environment are a key area of
stress for Libras: any disturbance, disagreement, argument, or
distress greatly unsettles them.
Libras must have balance in their lives: moderation and
calm. Sodium phosphate helps them maintain acids and alkali,
and their skin can help them: yellow-sallow when a deficiency is
present. Strawberries, apples, almonds, brown rice, oatmeal,
and carrots will help, as well as a lot of green foods. Water is a
must: they must have their skin hydrated. Skin treatments such
as clay or mud baths will also help, and massage too.
A Scorpio especially should be attentive to any type of urinary
or anal irritation; the body tends to clog up easily and retain
toxins. Natural, carefully scheduled detoxing and cleansing
procedures are urged; this can include sauna and mud baths too.
Irrigations are also useful, especially because Scorpios are
prone to hemorrhoids or other blockages and irritations.
Sexual diseases are another issue, and a Scorpio has a
powerful sex drive that needs a positive outlet. Alcohol is
another issue: of all the signs, a Scorpio’s skin shows the
damage done from drinking, and it also enflames their hair-
trigger temper.

Calcium sulphate are needed: figs, prunes, yogurt, cheeses, and
radishes, and fish, green salads, wheat germ, pineapple are
excellent. Scorpios need their seclusion and a place for privacy;
a place or area that is near water, like a beach or lake, is very
helpful.
Sagittarians tend to go for rich food much like Taureans and
Scorpions, but the Centaurs tend to over-tax their gall bladder
and liver. The pituitary gland is also influenced. Hepatitis and
gout can be signs of indulgences. Sciatica, hip disease, and
lameness can be problems too.
Saggitarians find walking (and outdoor activities like hikingor golf) is an excellent way to energize and exercise the system;
stationary bike or running machine work is also recommended.
Silica is needed, and found in green peppers, strawberries, skins
from fruits and vegetables, potatoes, oats, and raw salads.
Foods to avoid include rich gravies, creams, and too many
sweets.
Capricorns should mind their teeth, bones and knees. The joints
in general can be a sign of trouble (arthritis, neuralgia,
orthopedic problems, or rheumatism), which can be helped by
eliminating calcification (cheese and dairy) that the body can
not process. The knees represent the Cap’s lessons in facing up
to humility and being humble. The gallbladder is also sensitive.
Capricorns are prone to depression. Their attitude clearly
impacts their health, but they are a sign that actually grows
stronger with age.

Protein and calcium are necessary because a Capricorn tends to
work without watching the diet. Calcium phosphate is needed
to prevent tooth disorders, spinal curvature, and joint pain.
Oranges, figs, celery, broccoli, walnuts, almonds, and fish will go
a long way in preserving their well-being. The skin should alsobe kept supple with plenty of water, and body massage with oils
is excellent.
Aquarians should eat more citrus (especially the white part of
the peel called “rutin”) in order to help with blood flow and
circulation. The body’s electro-magnetic energy field may be
lower or restricted; the use of magnets may help balance this as
well as massage. The calves, shins, and ankles are vulnerable;varicose veins are a problem. Hardening arteries, anemia, and
low blood pressure are also issues. The pineal gland is also
associated with Aquarius; as the “seat of the soul,” its function
and purpose is unknown, but associated with mental abilities
that the human mind has forgotten how to use.
Sodium chloride is needed, but sea salt will work better than
common table salt. Seafood, fish, celery, spinach, lettuce,
lentils, almonds, and fresh fruit and vegetables will aid the
veins. Aquarians tend toward grey hair early in life. Exercises
that offer limited impact on the shins and ankles (mini-
trampoline, stationary bicycle, treadmill, or walking) are
excellent for them.

Pisces should watch the feet for fungus, nail problems, arches,
and other complications. Of the 12 signs, Pisces is the most
vulnerable to alcohol and substance indulgences. Their bodies
will show the aging affects from alcohol faster than other signs.Their health is not the strongest by nature, especially when the
sign is found on the ascendant. Colds, sinus problems, water
retention, and sensitive systems with delicate immunity
protection are often faced by Pisceans.
The thalamus and central nervous system are other body
sites that need attention. The strong intuitive, gentle side of a
Pisces can be overwhelmed by outside stimuli, and they need aplace for isolation and recovery if their emotional levels are
upset.
Ferrum phosphate is needed; iron is the mineral.
Cashews, beets, spinach, egg yolks, beans, liver, apples,
oranges, apricots, raisins, grapes, and lean meats are
necessary.
Swimming is an excellent Piscean exercise; they are fond of
long showers and hot soaks in tubs. Dancing is almost natural
to them; any form of aerobics is also good. Foot rubs and
reflexology massage are delightful treats for them.
