(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, both of these perspectives were identical. But in these times there could be quite a difference. For the medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health professional.)

As we mentioned, health was good last year and should stay good in the coming year. Most of the long-term planets are kind to you. Vitality and energy seem good.

The main change that is happening is Saturn’s move into your 6th House of Health on October 29. This is a major transit. Saturn will stay there for the next two and a half years. His move into your 6th House is basically a good thing. As we mentioned, he will tend to make you more serious about health, tend to make it easier to take on disciplined health regimes, and make you take a long-term perspective on health—you are not looking for a quick fix, but for a long-term cure. In general Saturn tends to make people more conservative when it comes to health. Thus in many cases you will feel more comfortable with orthodox medicine. But even for those of you who don’t believe in orthodox medicine, you will seek out the more traditional therapies in the alternative field, therapies that have stood the test of time and that have been well researched. You are not into experimenting with your health for the next few years.

Saturn’s move into your House of Health also shows that you can improve your already good health by giving more attention to the spine, knees, teeth, bones, gall bladder and overall skeletal alignment. There are many natural and drugless ways to do this. There are yoga postures that are excellent for the spine. Regular back massage is good. Foot and hand reflexology is wonderful—see our chart later on. Seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis might be a very good idea—it is very important that the vertebrae be kept in alignment. If you are involved in vigorous exercise, give the knees more support. The Alexander Technique is an excellent therapy for keeping the posture right, and it helps the spine. There are many other therapies not mentioned here, but which are excellent.

Reflexology Try to massage the whole foot on a regular basis, but pay extra attention to the points highlighted on the chart. When you massage, be aware of ‘sore spots’, as these need special attention. It’s also a good idea to massage the ankles and top side (as well as the soles) of the feet.

With Venus as your health planet, giving more attention to the kidneys and hips will also enhance your health. Regular massage of the hips is good.

Venus is a fast-moving planet. Every month she will be in a different Sign and House (usually). Thus there are many therapies that are effective for the short term. And these issues are best dealt with in the monthly reports.

Our regular readers already understand that disease might wind up in the physical body but never begins there. Always it has its origins in other areas, other more subtle bodies and realms of the mind. The beauty of the Horoscope is that it shows us where these spiritual root causes of disease tend to be and thus we can address them. In your case (should problems arise) there is a need to examine your love life (Venus), your self-esteem (Venus, the Ruler of your Horoscope) and your use of power and authority (Saturn). If you can bring these areas back into harmony, correcting the mistakes, the chances are that your health problem will dissolve of its own weight. And even if the services of a health professional are needed, the healing will go much faster and quicker.

Your health planet will make one of her rare Retrogrades this year from March 6 to April 17. This is a period for a review of your health and health regimes to see where improvements can be made. It is not a period for making drastic changes in the diet or important health decisions.
