Health and Wellbeing Report

Introduction

Medical astrology is a complex branch of the astrologer's art. Many factors need to be taken into account when considering the overall health of the individual.

This report aims to give you a picture of some of the astrological indicators in the horoscope that correspond with your health and wellbeing.

The information in this report includes astrological indicators relating to health and disease, as well as a range of nutritional advice, stress management tips and therapy options. However, it is not intended that this report be used in place of consulting a qualified medical practitioner, nor persons qualified in complementary or alternative healing. It is vital to always seek out professional medical and nutritional advice where one's health is concerned.

This report aims to provide some useful tips about physical health matters and also about mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This information is based on the author's own knowledge obtained over more than 25 years as an astrologer and additional research she has undertaken. The main focus of this report is to point out the astrological indicators that can manifest as health problems, or imbalances, and to suggest possible causes and/or treatments that might be of benefit.

If a particular theme comes up several times in different sections, it is worthy of special attention. If there appears to be contradictions between some sections, they do not necessarily cancel each other out; both are probably applicable at different times, or under different circumstances.

Disclaimer

Essential oils should not be used full strength and never swallowed. They should be diluted with water, or suitable carrier oil such as almond oil, before use. Do your own research before using essential oils. Certain oils are not recommended for some conditions and some can be harmful and/or toxic. There are a number of contra-indicators to be aware of when using essential oils. Some people are sensitive to particular oils, although the pure, top quality oils are less likely to result in allergic reactions. The author takes no responsibility for any adverse reactions caused.

The information in this report is offered as a guide to health. The author takes no responsibility for the specific use or application of information presented here, nor for any unwanted effects encountered, nor any effects encountered by not seeking medical advice. Do not attempt self-treatment for serious health conditions.

Your Basic Health Needs

Your General Temperament

The overall balance of elements and modes is connected with our general attitudes and perspective and shows whether our values, point of view and style of expression are particularly focussed towards certain qualities and tendencies of temperament, or whether there is some under-emphasis of certain qualities. The balance of elements and modes also relates to one's overall constitution. Where there is too much, or too little, of any element or mode, there can be a corresponding imbalance that we consciously need to address, in order to bring about emotional, spiritual, mental and physical healing.

Element Earth is Strong

You possess a highly resilient and grounded energy, but with too much earth, your metabolism can be slow at times. Your digestion can be sluggish and can be adversely affected by consuming too many heavy foods such as meat and cheese that cause congestion and constipation. Your bones are probably strong, but you can become stiff and suffer arthritic conditions. You can also be prone to colds and sinus trouble. It is important for you to include plenty of fruit and vegetables in your diet and to drink enough water. Changing your routine once in a while and making space in your life for creative expression can also uplift your spirits. Regular exercise and movement is also important.

Mode Mutable is Strong

Mutable energy is associated with communication and change. With an excess of mutable energy, you are highly adaptable. Because of these flexible qualities, you generally cope with stress much better than either strongly cardinal or highly fixed types, but at the same time you are prone to picking up infections and passing viruses. When you are stressed, it mainly comes from an inner state of worry, boredom, and a lack of purpose or meaning, or from trying to do too much at once. These are things you can change by altering your attitude. Your energy can be a bit scattered and although you are highly versatile, you may need to develop a little more consistency, which can help to stabilise your inherently restless nature.

Your Emotional Health

The Moon symbolises our capacity to give and receive nurturing. Our feelings, emotions and personal inner life all relate to the Moon, as does food and nutrition. Our emotional wellbeing often relates to inherited patterns of behaviour from our parents and/or defence mechanisms that we learnt in childhood. The sign in which the Moon is located will describe the way in which our need for nurturing and emotional security are sought and met. As adults, we still have a child within us that continues to seek comfort and protection.

The Moon is in Virgo

Emotional security does not seem to be a real need in you, but this is because you are highly independent. In fact, you probably dislike being dependent on anyone or anything. You gain emotional satisfaction from working hard and being the best person you can possibly be. To others, you can seem by turns to appear calculating or shy. The fact is that you have a strong need to be needed and you like to be of service. When called on, you give of yourself quite selflessly, but underneath you have a strong need to be acknowledged for your skills, organisational talents and common sense. You can sometimes go into a state of denial when it comes to your emotional needs, putting duties and responsibilities ahead of your own wellbeing. Doing this over a prolonged period can lead to health issues such as digestive problems or emotionally related eating disorders such as anorexia. By recognising and acknowledging that your feelings and emotional needs are a vital component of your overall health and wellbeing, you begin to deepen your experiences as you express and share your feelings. You generally cope very well on your own and don't really need large doses of human company in order to feel emotionally content, however spending time communing with nature and/or having a close animal companion or pet, can be quite vital for your emotional health.

Your Vitality and Wellbeing

Your Spiritual Essence

The Sun plays a vital role in matters of health. The Sun governs physical stamina and vitality. We get Vitamin D directly from the Sun, and a lack of exposure to sunshine can lead to a host of illnesses including seasonal depression, especially for those who live in extreme latitudes.

The Sun sign will often describe our manner of self-expression. It can also reveal information about our physical type and the kinds of ailments that can affect us, including parts of the body that are affected by stress and genetically inherited conditions.

The Sun sign represents the essence of who we are. It is largely associated with our sense of identity. As we move through life and learn more about ourselves, we tend to become more like our Sun sign.

Early in life, the Sun sign is more likely to express itself as ego. Later in life, as we come to know ourselves, our self-expression becomes more developed. Jung's concept of the 'Self' is also associated with the Sun sign, which begins to emerge as we develop and mature. As we move through life, we move away from purely ego expression, towards a more comprehensive style of self-expression.

Stress can manifest according to the sign in which the Sun is placed and this can affect our wellbeing and health. For example, when our ego expression is thwarted, if we lack confidence, or are fearful about expressing ourselves.

As we get to know ourselves and develop more fully, we become more conscious and aware, so our Sun sign shines ever more brightly.

The Sun is in Taurus

You have a high degree of resilience and determination. You are firmly grounded, very practical and tend to have a measured energy that is slow and steady. You probably do not get ill very often. When stress manifests in ill health it has generally been building up over a long period. You tend to soldier on when you are feeling unwell. Adopting a more flexible attitude and learning to cope with change, will minimise the effects of stress. You may be prone to experience tension in the jaw and neck and you can be inclined to consume too much rich food that has a high fat and sugar content. You can be prone to weight gain and a range of associated health problems such as diabetes. Other parts of the body that can be affected by ill health include the throat area, neck, thyroid gland, tonsils and vocal chords.

Early in life you may develop a strong set of values, but when taken to extremes this can make you somewhat judgemental and inflexible. You cope well with practical matters, but may not cope at all well with change. You might feel that you have to be strong, or that you have to see things through, no matter what. At times you can be overly focussed on money, income and possessions. This might be because you had limited resources early in life. You are a tactile person who will benefit enormously from a regular massage. For relaxation try Sandalwood, Clary Sage, or Lavender essential oils. If you ever feel jealous or envious, Rose, Thyme or Juniper oils can restore balance.

You will develop your own set of values that are both practical and have a deeper beauty and importance. Expressing yourself artistically will also prove therapeutic. It can be difficult for you to accept alternative points of view, but your health will be improved by trying to remain flexible. From time to time you will benefit by reviewing your priorities, so try to keep an open mind about other people's values.

You can find a deep sense of fulfilment by giving to those less fortunate than yourself and by finding value in pleasures beyond the sensual and material. You will discover joy in giving, which will be highly rewarding and fill you with a sense of wellbeing. As you learn not to rush to judge others until you have walked in their shoes, you can make truly worthwhile and practical differences to the wellbeing of others.

Your Vitality - The Life Force

The position of the Sun has a great deal to say about one's overall constitution, vitality and health. The house in which the Sun is placed corresponds directly with the time of day that you were born. Generally speaking, a person born during the day is thought to have a more powerful and dynamic solar energy and to be more extraverted and direct in their manner of self-expression, than someone born during the night, when the individual is thought to have a more subtle or refined expression, and to be capable of more introspection.

If you were born at sunrise, or in the middle of the day, the Sun is at its greatest strength and your solar forces are very powerful. As well as the house in which the Sun is placed, consider the Sun's sign and the aspects it makes to other planets, all of which will provide more clues to the overall picture of health. As well as vitality and energy, the Sun governs one's identity, creativity and self-expression. Without the Sun there is no life. Therefore, the relative position of the Sun says a great deal about the type of energy and life force that we possess.

The Sun is in the 8th House

Through your life you could find that you are subjected to a certain amount of emotional and psychological pain or stress. You will probably develop a deep understanding of the complexities of life, which may lead you to explore the unconscious and its workings. You have the unique ability to re-invent yourself, like a snake shedding its skin; you can adapt to whatever life throws at you.

You are a survivor and personally identify with the fact that you have undergone certain events and have survived. You are highly sensitive and at the same time tremendously resourceful and strong. This means that you can experience tremendous highs and extreme lows and may therefore develop a deep-seated need to be in control of everything, so you feel you can cope with these ups and downs. But as you move through life you will discover that being in control is really an illusion. For you, the health impacts of stress can include sexual issues, reproductive problems, constipation and lower back problems. Accepting your feelings of powerlessness and vulnerability may be the first step towards a more open and relaxed approach to living.

Try meditation, massage or yoga. Martial arts training could also be a good option. As you learn more about yourself you will feel more comfortable with your emotions. Don't hold on to resentment or dwell on past hurts. This can take you on a downward spiral that can adversely affect your health. You are able to turn negatives into positives and you have a unique gift for healing. Close emotional ties and intimacy bring ultimate healing, which takes place as you learn to relax and let go. You possess strength and sensitivity in equal measure.

Managing the Physical Demands of Living

When challenging relationships are formed between the Sun and other planets, this can relate to internal and external stress factors that can lead to health problems if ways are not found to balance their energies. Because the Sun is a vital component of life, when challenged by other planets, these aspects can be potent indicators of one's overall health and wellbeing.

Magnesium, Iodine, Vitamin A and Vitamin D are ruled by the Sun. A deficiency or incorrect assimilation of any of these minerals or vitamins can be the cause of several health problems if there are difficult aspects that involve the Sun.

Also consider the vitamins and minerals associated with the planet that is involved in the challenging aspect with the Sun, for this may also provide clues that when brought into balance can aid healing.

It is important that we try to integrate these challenging energies so that they flow with more ease and work for us, rather than trying to fight with them, for we are really only fighting with ourselves.

Venus is Semisquare The Sun

Sugar metabolism can be compromised when too much sugar and refined carbohydrates are consumed, therefore to avoid potential diabetes or pancreatic disorders, hypoglycaemia and other problems, the intake of sugar and processed food should be kept to a minimum. You may have a sweet tooth and you could be intolerant to wheat. Thyroid conditions, kidney problems, eating disorders, weight gain/loss, and issues involving poor self-esteem can develop as a result of stress build-up. A lack of B3 can result in skin problems such as dermatitis and even mental disturbances. Many of these conditions can be corrected by eating nutritious food, forging positive and supportive relationships and honouring your own values. The mineral copper and Vitamin E can be of enormous benefit to your system. You are most likely highly creative or artistic and should try to engage in these activities on a regular basis. In addition, try to ensure that your diet includes plenty of vitamins, especially B and E.

Mars is Conjunct The Sun

You are a highly dynamic person and tend to expend a great deal of energy in all you do. You are probably quite driven and very active. You may take risks and enjoy experiencing adrenaline highs that come with adventure. Accidents are possible, including possible broken bones and head injuries, particularly if you are given to be too hasty or impatient.

It is vital to ensure you have enough stores of physical energy to call upon. Iron, Cobalt, Chlorine, Folic Acid, Molybdenum, Selenium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Fatty Acids and Vitamin B12 are associated with energy and vitality. If your energy wanes it is important to investigate any potential deficiency of these minerals and vitamins. Magnesium and Iodine and Vitamin D are also vital. You sometimes tend to overdo things and push yourself to the absolute limit. As a result you are open to a range of potential problems such as cardiovascular ailments, high blood pressure, inflammation, acid-alkaline imbalance, headaches, migraines and fevers or blood disorders such as anaemia, from too little iron. Vitamin and mineral supplements can assist, but also try to eat the correct foods and don't go overboard with alcohol.

Because you are dynamic and driven you can also be explosive at times and anger can be the root cause of some of these conditions. Anger management can go a long way towards a return to health. Calming, soothing and relaxing activities are probably something you don't have time for, but they are necessary and vital to your overall wellbeing.

Stress can manifest in other ways too. Adrenal exhaustion, sexual problems, and chronic fatigue can occur. But all these conditions are more likely if you ignore symptoms and continue to overdo things when you should rest and recuperate.
