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

As we mentioned above, health is an important area to watch this year. Three long-term planets are in stressful alignment with you for most of 2020. This of itself is a problem, but there will be periods where the short-term planets also join the fray and these will be your most vulnerable months. These periods are from January 1 to January 20; June 21 to July 20 (less stressful than January though); and September 22 to October 23. Make sure you take it nice and easy over those periods.

What further complicates health is the weakness in your 6th house of health. It is, for the most part, empty, with only short-term planets moving through there. So your tendency is to ignore your health or to take it for granted. This would be a mistake. You need to force yourself – even when you don’t feel like it – to focus on health.

The medieval astrologers (and many modern astrologers) believed in Destiny: if something is going to happen, there is nothing we can do about it. I am not in this camp. Personal experience has taught me that our free will choices can alter, or at least soften, Destiny. Destiny can show encounters with ill health, but how we choose to meet Destiny can make all the difference.

Thus there is much that can be done to enhance the health and prevent problems from developing. Give more attention to the following – the vulnerable areas of your Horoscope (the reflex points are shown in the chart below):

Important foot reflexology points for the year ahead

Try to massage all of the foot on a regular basis – the top of the foot as well as the bottom – 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 below them.

 The head, face and scalp. Always important for Aries, regular scalp and face massage is a wonderful preventive. It not only strengthens the particular area, but the entire body as well through reflexes there that go to the whole body. Craniosacral therapy is also excellent for this area.

 The musculature is also always important for Aries. You don’t need to be a body-builder or become muscle bound; you only need good muscle tone. Weak or flabby muscles can knock the spine and bones out of alignment and this will cause all kinds of other problems. So, vigorous physical exercise is important – according to your age and stage in life.

 The adrenals. The important thing here (as our regular readers know) is to avoid anger and fear – the two emotions that stress the adrenals. Meditation is a great help for this.

 The lungs, arms, shoulders, small intestine and respiratory system. Arms and shoulders should be regularly massaged. Tension tends to collect in the shoulders and needs to be released.

 The heart has only become important for Aries since Pluto’s entry into Capricorn in 2008, although it has become increasingly important over the past two years. The main thing with the heart is to avoid worry and anxiety, the two emotions that stress it out. Replace worry with faith.

Since health problems, if they happen (God forbid) would most likely begin here, keeping these areas healthy and fit is sound preventive medicine.

Since your health planet Mercury is a fast-moving (and erratic) planet, there are many short-term trends in health depending on where Mercury is and the aspects he receives. These are best dealt with in the monthly reports.
