SAGITTARIUS THE HERO The runner, the jumper, the true believerhot tempered Sagittarius is aiming at us, to woo,

to inspire, tochallenge, to compete--and sooner or later, to probably hurt your feelings. Don't blame the Sag; they're just doing their duty to the higher calling, and they will try anything to be first over the finish line. A factor in the success of Sagittarius is their bullshit output. Planetary focus Sagittarius are Jupiters PR people, and theyre on a mission to enrich and expand our universe. Born leaders, the Sagittarius is out hero, and also NEEDS heroes to look up to and aspire. Inspiration and optimism are the name of the game, what Sagittarius lives for, and for which it will die. Metabolism Sagittarius are fiery people, they are burning all the time, whether like a hot coal, or a white-blue flame. If their fuel is bad, they have a bad burn, and their skin reflects the acidosis that results. With a good, high-roughage diet, your fats can be ignited into hot-blooded energy. Bad eating habits will constipate with toxic sludge, foul moods, and too much triglycerides. Hardest-Working Parts The thighs; the Gluteus Maximus, the largest muscles in the body; your two galloping horses. Your sign is born to run, play! If youve ever ridden a horse, you know! Hypoglycemia is the ruin of a good pair of legs. Sagittarians have to make sure that their glucose levels are stable, and their sources of carbohydrates are clean burning and long lasting. Sagittarius Factoid: They can be painfully BLUNT in conversation Problem Zones All pain is muscle pain. If you injure your muscles, and cannot repair them, you lose your courage. Muscles need care and feeding like other organs. Muscle pain means that a muscle cant do its work; you cannot rush the healing of your muscles. If time is your number one medicine, Vitamin E is your number two. (more later) Inherent Strengths Boundless energy, quick recovery. You are an inspiration. Sagittarius is an intoxicating mix of the sexual power of the beast and the worldly vision of the philosopher. No one can corral you except for yourself. Freedom or death! Watch Out! Beware the hidden enemies: undigested foods and fats and sugars. Your swollen kidneys, rough skin; water retention, body odor are all signs of too much pasta, white flour, sugar and dairy, all of which rotten remains resonate through your every pore. Power Foods A banquet of foods fresh from the farm is your dream diet. Bread, wine, cheese; you are living the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, but get real: You need whole grains, and greens such as collard, kale, mustard, or turnip greens. By the way, Popeye: spinach is too high in purines and will cause a build up of uric acid in the blood, so you should avoid it and other high-purine food and beer and wine to restore health. Real greens contain the vitamin A and calcium you need for clear skin and a pleasing personality. For digestion, use fermented foods like miso, umeboshi salt plums, Kimchi, pickled daikon, or kombucha. Your ideas may be futuristic, but your diet ought to be prehistoric. Healing systems You are the hucksters of the Zodiac, who cant heal themselves. A helter-skelter diet comes back to

haunt Sagittarius. You need a regimen, not just a diet. Vitamin and mineral supplements are ideal for Sagittarians, who always overtax themselves and need the extra nutrients and enzymes. A daily Megadose of 3 to 12 grams of Ascorbate (vitamin C) will liberate you from colds and flu. Cure your hot temper with Calcium/magnesium supplements. For bad sinuses: take 100,000 I.U. of vitamin A and 400 I.U. of D until the mucus pours out of you. For ALL muscle problems, or just to pump up your libido, take as much 100% natural Vitamin E as you can afford. Avoid acetates and synthetic Vitamin E;look for D-alpha-tocopheral only! Mind/body connection Dont believe the hype, especially your own! Fire needs fuel. Once Sagittarius sees the light (nutritionally speaking) and enjoys a complete bowel movement and great muscle tone, your commitment to your body is complete. Getting physically run down can lead to psychological problems for Sagittarius, such as depression, paranoia, alienation. Sag can keep going even when they are physically in a wreck, with only half their faculties working, its burning the candle at both ends. Whats the big hurry? Admitting you are sick (at dis-ease) in the first place, is an important step: youre not letting down the team, or losing your optimism, youre facing reality. Your fears of losing your place in the herd, or being shot down, may come true, but remember: Time heals all wounds. Astrological health indicators The sun signs are not the definitive indicators of which disease will affect which person. To the serious student of astrology, the ascendant, the sixth house, and natal Mars sign and their planetary rulers also influence a persons health., not to mention environment and learned behavior. Calculating a Sidereal chart of those signs might be useful, however. Anything that helps us to achieve self-awareness, self-reliance, and self-healing is useful. The usefulness of this approach is in its application by the reader. All that is necessary is that you be able to recognize a few of the characteristics arranged here by zodiac sun signenough of them to stimulate you to look deeper still into the nutritional factors and chemical compounds that make your body work.
