(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 a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)

Health and vitality are basically good this year. There is only one long-term planet in stressful alignment with you – Neptune. The rest are either in harmonious aspect or leaving you alone. It is true that some of you might be needing surgery, and if this is the case, it seems successful. You recover well. Basic fundamental vitality is very important in recovering from surgery and you have this.

Your 6th house of health is powerful this year, and thus there is much focus and attention on it. With Pluto as your health planet, you have a predisposition to surgery – a tendency to see it as a ‘quick fix’ to health problems. But keep in mind that Pluto also rules detox. In many cases detoxification will often do more good than surgery, although the process is much slower. Get a second opinion if you are considering surgery.

Good though the health is, you can make it even better. Pay more attention to the following areas – the vulnerable areas in the year ahead: the colon, bladder and sexual organs. These are always an issue for you. The colon needs to be clean and clear of all toxic build-ups (colonic irrigation might be a good idea). Safe sex and sexual moderation is also important. The spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment are also very important this year – and for many years to come. Regular back massage will be good. Knees should also be massaged and given more support when exercising. Regular visits to a chiropractor or osteopath are a good idea; the spine needs to be kept in right alignment. (Yoga, Pilates, the Alexander Technique or the Feldenkrais Method are excellent therapies for the spine.) The gall bladder is also vulnerable this year, and back massage will help the gall bladder as well as the back. There are reflexes along the spine that go to all the organs of the body.

If more attention is paid to these areas, many problems can be prevented. And even if they can’t be totally prevented, they can be lessened to a great extent.

Your health planet Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn, which rules the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment – hence their importance in your overall health. Saturn, the planet that rules these areas, is in your 6th house of health – reinforcing what we say here.

In the past few years we have seen a lot of dramatic changes to the health regime, and this continues in the year ahead. These changes will basically be good. Favourable numbers for health are 8, 11, 13 and 20. If you can somehow incorporate these into your health regime it would be helpful. If you are saying affirmations or doing exercises, then do them in sets of 8, 11, 13 or 20. Creative Geminis will find other ways to use these numbers.
