As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries has immense vitality and a strong constitution. You heal quickly and can get by on little sleep. When something new excites you, you dive in. But tedium undoes you, and “slow progress” feels like a contradiction in terms to you. Having a goal is motivating, but if your new diet or supplement or gym class or therapy doesn’t show results fairly quickly, you’re unlikely to stick with it. You’d rather give something else a try.

In traditional western astrology, Aries is associated with the head, making you prone to headaches, earaches, eyestrain, and related woes. You are also ruled by Mars, the planet of war. His aggressive tendencies can spark angry, adrenalin-fueled outbursts and occasional accidents. That’s why the number one health tip for Aries is simple: calm down. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, stretch. A few minutes of meditation before you grab your lance and gallop into the fray can be restorative. The number two health tip: when engaged in an activity that might require headgear such as jousting or skateboarding or bicycling, don’t be obstinate. Wear the helmet. Also useful: head massages, facial acupressure, cranial-sacral massage, a sleep mask for those occasions when you don’t get to bed until sun-up.

A Sun sign description of health is, by necessity, a generality. When seasoned medical astrologers do individual health readings, they assess your chart in detail. Nevertheless, an astrological reading does not replace a check-up. If you’re concerned about your health, see a physician.
