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.
