If you follow my weekly energy forecasts you have probably heard me say that we all have the 12 zodiac signs within us in some way.
This is not just on an emotional and spiritual level, but on a physical level as well. In fact, each body part or area of your body is also ruled by a particular zodiac energy.
In the early days of medicine, doctors used to study dreams and the planets in order to work out how best to treat a patient. While this technique is long gone, there is still some value in understanding how astrology can help to heal you.
In astrology, each zodiac sign governs a different part of the body. When this part of the body is facing illness, channelling the energy of that sign can help.
Here is how you can use each astrology sign to heal your body:
Aries
Body: Aries rules over the head, hair and face.
Energy: Aries energy is all about leadership, standing up for yourself and going after what it is that you truly desire. It also rules over the emotions of anger, self-confidence and courage.
Imbalances: When Aries energy is not in balance it can manifest as headaches, migraines, loss of self confidence, runny nose and sinus problems. It can also manifest as acne, skin problems, eczema, rashes and hair loss.
Healing: Aries energy is all about being able to stand up for who you truly are and lead your life in a direction that feels good. If you have been hiding in the shadows, or perhaps even being lead too much by your ego, it may be time to bring this into balance. It may also indicate that you need to let go of over-active thoughts, slow down or pay attention to the world around you.
Taurus
Body: Taurus rules over the neck, throat, thyroid, tonsils and upper back area.
Energy: Taurus energy is all about stability and consistency. Taurus also rules over material or physical possessions and also our general feelings of security and self-assurance.
Imbalances: When Taurus energy is out of balance it can manifest as upper back issues, neck problems, sore throats and a hoarse voice. It can also cause feelings of “stuckness” or fear of changing or losing something.
Healing: Taurus energy is about taking a practical and methodical approach to life in order to feel secure and organised. If you have been lacking groundedness or perhaps stuck in a never ending cycle, it may be time to bring this into balance by harmonising your throat area. You can do this using blue crystals, singing and also making some changes to your life and external environment.
Gemini
Body: Gemini rules over your mind, thoughts, your ability to express yourself and your arms and hands.
Energy: Gemini energy is about the freedom to express yourself and collect your thoughts in an orderly way so other people can understand them. Gemini’s are natural communicators, writers and speakers.
Imbalances: When Gemini energy is out of balance it can manifest as scattered thoughts, confused mental processes, arm or hand pain and fear of expression. It can also cause people to become gossips or perhaps speak before thinking.
Healing: To balance the energy of Gemini meditation or journalling is often the best remedy. This helps to calm and soothe the mind and can release any repetitive thoughts.
Cancer
Body: Cancer rules over the chest, breast and heart area.
Energy: Cancer energy is about tuning into your emotions and expressing your truth and feelings. Cancer energy is also very nurturing and often desires to be of service to others.

Healing: To balance Cancer energy breathing exercises are often most beneficial, as is spending time out in the fresh air and light exercise. Balance can also be achieved through volunteering, giving to others or spending time nourishing and loving yourself.
Leo

Healing: To balance Leo energy, any form of creative expression is often helpful. This includes art, dancing, poetry, acting etc. Doing yoga poses to help open the heart area is also recommended, as is talking about or communicating your feelings to those you care about.

Making peace with your body and ensuring that you are eating a lot of healthy fruits and vegetables can also be helpful.
Libra

Energy: Scorpio energy is all about transformation and learning how to grow and change through life’s experiences. It is also about digging through your shadow side in order to bring it into the light.

Alternatively, it can also manifest as stagnancy and perhaps an unwillingness to learn, embrace other cultures or keep an open-mind.
Healing: One of the best ways to balance Sagittarius energy is to travel or learn something new that will help to open and expand your mind. Doing something different from your regular routine can also help to balance the energy as can exercises that help to open the hip area.

Energy: Capricorn energy is all about getting things done in a practical and orderly fashion. Capricorn energy is extremely ambitious and is highly motivated to achieve and create.
Imbalances: When out of balance, Capricorn energy can lead to workaholic tendencies, issues with the knees, cavities or tooth pain. It can also lead to putting too much pressure on oneself to achieve and a habit of working or ‘doing things’ in order to avoid emotions.
Healing: To balance Capricorn energy it is important to take a break, slow down and perhaps also check in with what is really fuelling your ambitions. A re-working of your schedule may also be in order to make less time for work and more time for play. Taking up practices such as meditation, yoga or even journalling may also be helpful.

Energy: Aquarius energy is all about supporting humanity and thinking about things on a bigger and more global scale. Aquarius energy is extremely innovative and is often revolutionary in nature.
