Astrology and Food

ASTROLOGY - HEALTH & DIET
One's astrological chart describes his/her unique constitutional makeup. From this, a medical
astrologer can identify health issues he/she is most likely to experience, as well as specific
recommendations of what they can do to regain and maintain optimum well-being. Astrology
identifies four basic constitutional types: fire, earth, air and water.
The fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, and are considered to possess the most energy and
vitality of all the signs. The air signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, are considered the second most
vital, though more reactive to external stimuli. The water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, are more
changeable and emotionally reactive. The earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, and possess
great steadiness and endurance, though not the vital spark of fire or air.
The maintenance of health is a process of constant readjustment to change. We each tend to

experience periods of excess or deficiency of our constitutional element, which require adjustment of
diet, lifestyle or even supplementation.
Fire Signs : Aries / Leo / Sagittarius
Fire rules the function of internal combustion or digestionthe burning up or absorption of food. Fire
also purifies the system by burning off toxins, viruses, bacteria and fungus. Fire signs easily fight
disease. Their constitution naturally tends toward high temperatures.
Excess Fire
Fire signs, when unbalanced to excess or overstimulation, are prone to burning themselves out.
Excess fire can be impatient and angry, or internalizes it into hypertension, heart problems, ulcers or
inflammations. Excess fire is brought back into balance by foods that are cold, moist and heavy, or
slow-burning foods that ground energy.
Take Grains, root vegetables
Avoid Spicy food, red meat
Remedy herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, skull cap and valerian.
Low Fire
When your fire is low, it may be hard to burn off or fight disease. Digestion and absorption of food are
inadequate. Eat foods that are hot, light, dry and aromatic. Avoid cold foods.
Take lemon, yoghurt, bitter greens like kale, mustard.
Avoid dairy products, meat
Remedy digestive stimulants like cayenne, mustard, cloves, cinnamon,garlic, ginger.
Air Signs: Gemini / Libra / Aquarius

Air rules the nervous and circulatory systems and the function of movement, peristalsis, urination and
breathing. Air people are easily stimulated, with quick and extremely sensitive minds that are easily
thrown off balance and overwhelmed.
Excess Air
Overactive, restless, sensitive minds and nervous exhaustion plague air signs, as does dry skin, hair
and mucus membranes, insomnia and memory loss from systemic overload. Excess air benefits from
scheduled windows of quiet, with minimal stimulation, to allow the nervous system to recharge itself.
Take lightly steamed vegetables, nuts, croutons.
Avoid Raw foods ,Grains, rootcrops, yeasty foods, refined sugar.
Remedy enzymes which help in proper absorption of nutrients.
Low Air
When the air element is low, there is difficulty with the flow of energy through the body. A weakened
nervous system benefits from mineral supports such as calcium and magnesium, and circulatory
stimulants. Eat plenty of raw foods, vegetable juices and sprouted seeds. Oats in any form
oatmeal, oatstraw tea or oat tincture, are tonifying to a weak nervous sytem without being sedating.
Take Gingko, cayenne, garlic, ginger, yoghurt, kefir.
Remedy dandelion root or angostura bitters .
Water signs: Cancer / Scorpio / Pisces
The water element rules the reproductive and lymphatic systems and body liquidsincluding blood,
mucus and lymph. Water lubricates, flushes and cools the body. Water signs are exceptionally
sensitive to their environment, particularly to fungi, bacteria and viruses.
Health issues for water signs generally have a strong emotional component. Water sign people easily
pick up negativity from others. They tend to brood on their health and imagine problems to be
greater than they are. Their health problems tend to recur in cycles.
Excess Water
These people tend toward sluggish digestion, poor assimilation and slow metabolism. Stagnant
excess water may manifest as mucus, cysts, tumors and swellings, as well as systemic candida.
Excess water can manifest as weight problems. It is seldom helpful to decrease dietary intake alone.
Better results come from increasing the metabolic rate, decreasing the liquid intake, changing the diet
and increasing physical activity.Excess Water is balanced by foods that are hot, dry and light.
Take steamed vegetables, beans, fruits.
Avoid oily foods, diary, sweets, yeasty foods, breads and salt.
sage, basil and thyme, Diuretics such as parsley, uva ursi and juniper berries, Chapparal,
Remedy
garlic and olive leaf
Low Water
Low Water constitutions have trouble flushing toxins from their systems, and lack lubrication to their
systems. They tend to be stiff and dehydrated and have difficulty sleeping. They suffer from
conditions similar to excess air, such as skin and hair dryness and difficult absorption of nutrients.
They find it hard to accept emotional nourishment. Take baths, drink plenty of liquids, and live near
water.Melons, cucumbers and other moist and fleshy vegetables help balance this constitution Don't
fast, take care with extreme exposure to heat or sunlight and take extra salt with exertion or warm
weather.
Take wheat, rice, oats, seaweed, dairy products and natural sugars .
Avoid beans and natural diuretics such as carrots, celery, cabbage and asparagus
Remedy licorice sweetened with honey, Fruit juices
Earth Constitution :Taurus / Virgo / Capricorn
The earth element rules the skeletal and eliminatory systems. The earth element is essential for
growth, reproduction and repair of tissue. Earth signs tend toward weight problems, tumor growth or
glandular disorder. Overeating and a diet of heavy foods create excess earth, which is aggravated by
lack of exercise and sedentary habits. They often have beautiful strong teeth.
The earth signs have strong sense impressions and thrive on contact with the earth. Theirs is a
strength of endurance and persistence. They are more resistant to transient colds and flu than fire or
air signs.
Excess Earth
Excess earth is prone to heaviness in the body and sluggishness in the system, and the struggle to
overcome inertia. Their digestion and metabolism are slow, increasing density of body tissuei.e.
thick skin, sclerosis, calcium deposits, tumors and increased body hair.
Take fruit- salads, sprouts ,steamed vegetables with spices added, juices, soups and teas .
Avoid heavier diets
bitter tonics such as gentian or Swedish bitters, hot spices such as ginger, black pepper
Remedy
and cayenne
Low Earth
Low earth needs grounding. These people tend to ignore their bodies and are not instinctive about
what they need. They need routines that stabilize them and give a sense of security. They need more
sleep than other elements, and benefit from physical contact with the earth.

GEMINIS & DIET
Gemini Rules : the shoulders, arms, hands, and lungs.
Health Habits : Gemini's are vulnerable to upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, and
asthma. Gemini also rules the nerves, so natives of this sign are often excitable and high-strung. The
planet Mercury, which rules Gemini, has always been associated with respiration, the brain, and the
entire nervous system. It also governs the delicate links between the mind and the different parts of
the body, so with Gemini people the state of mind has a great deal to do with the state of their health.
Anxiety and nervousness literally can make them sick.
The cell salt for Gemini is potassium chloride, which builds fibrin in the blood, organs, and tissues
of the body.
Eat : A deficiency of this mineral can lead to clots in the blood and circulatory problems. Potassium
chloride also keeps the lungs and bronchial tubes unclogged. Foods high in this mineral are
asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, celery, carrots, spinach, oranges, peaches, plums, apricots, and
wild rice. Healthy nerve foods for Gemini include grapefruit, almonds, broiled fish and shellfish,
grapejuice, apples & raisins. Lettuce and cauliflower help to combat bronchitis.
Geminis need calcium to keep their bones healthy; milk, buttermilk, and cottage cheese are excellent
sources. Many Geminis cannot tolerate large amounts of food at one time; eating four mini-meals a
day can be beneficialto your health.
Don't Eat : Coffee and stimulants make matters worse and should be avoided. Herbal teas have a
calming effect. Gemini people are inclined to eat on the run and are notorious junk food addicts. To
keep up their energy and high spirits, they must have a proper diet.

CANCERIANS & DIET

Cancer Rules : the breasts and the stomach. This part of the anatomy has always symbolized
nourishment and motherhood.
Health habits : Cancerians are susceptible to gaining weight in later years. Tension, anxiety, and
emotional stress are the leading causes of illness among Cancerians. They tend to have a delicate
stomach and digestive problems. They may be prone to ulcers, gall bladder upsets, gas pains,
nausea, and gastritis. Born under a water sign, they tend to overindulge in wine and alcohol, which
you do not tolerate well.
Cancer's cell salt is calcium fluoride, which unites with albumen and oil in the body's system to
keep elastic and connective tissues healthy.
Eat : Deficiency of calcium fluoride can cause varicose veins, receding gums, curvature of the spine,
& eye problems. Food sources for calcium fluoride are egg yolks, whole grain rye, yogurt, beets,
fish and oysters. Cancerians are prone to skin disorders when there is a lack of calcium in their diet.
They should consume milk, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, which are high in calcium. Okra, which
also contains calcium, is an aid in reducing stomach inflammations. Fresh vegetables, fresh fruit,
and lean protein are a daily must for the Cancerian.
Don't Eat : Starches, sugar, and salt should be avoided. The first two cause constipation, and salt
produces bloating. Cancer people should stay away from spicy, highly seasoned food, and should
forego hot pepper sauce and horseradish. Excess sweets make their stomachs worse. Cancerians
need to watch their diets very carefully in order to keep their digestive systems healthy and their
weight under control.

influences the spleen and the entire body's vitality. The sign of Leo is characterized by growth, vitality,
and good health. As a rule, Leos live healthy lives, however, they must learn to slow down in later
years to avoid the risk of heart attack.
Leo's cell salt is magnesium phosphate, which keeps the motor nerves in top functioning order and
is also necessary to the formation of the skeletal structure.
Eat : Magnesium phosphate forms blood albumen and maintains the fluidity of the blood, and
activates the digestive enzymes. Foods that contain this element so important to Leos are whole
wheat and rye products, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, figs, lemons, apples, peaches, coconut,
rice, seafood, beets, asparagus, and egg yolk. Foods that aid the circulation and have blood-making
properties include beef, lamb, poultry, liver, fresh fruit, salad greens, cheese, whole milk, and yogurt.

are green leafy vegetables , whole wheat and whole grain breads, wheat germ oil, oats,
almonds, cheese, oranges, bananas, lemons, lean beef and lamb.Healthy foods that are easy to
digest are corn bread, yogurt, brown rice, eggs, and cottage cheese. Melons, apples, pears, and
papaya are particularly good for Virgoans, and lemon juice in your diet will ease skin eruptions and
dandruff. Honey should be used as a sweetener instead of sugar. Herb teas can help soothe upset

susceptible to. In addition, Scorpions are subject to ill health brought on by emotional difficulties.

function of the body. Thus, Scorplo's link with sex and regenerative forces is strengthened. As a rule,
Scorpios have strong, voluptuous bodies and excellent recuperative powers. It's been said that
Scorpios look old when they are young, and young when they are old.
Scorpio's cell salt is calcium sulphate, which is the prime ingredient in the repair of tissues and
resistance to infectious diseases. The nose, mouth, throat, esophagus, reproductive organs, and
intestinal pathways need this mineral for healthy functioning. A deficiency opens the way to colds and
sinus infections that hang on forever, skin eruptions which do not heal, and infertility.

Health Habits: Physical activity is a must; they will stagnate and become ill if they don't get enough
exercise. Although usually lean and slender in their early years, they have a tendency to put on
weight as they get older. In Sagittarian women the weight unfortunately seems to settle on the hips
and thighs. They often have chronic aches in the hips and thighs and may be vulnerable to sciatica,
gout, hip disease, and sometimes lameness.

pituitary gland. Sagittarians tend to have an active, sensitive liver that instantly suffers from overuse of
alcohol. They are also susceptible to hepatitis

sources for the silica that Sagittarians need are the skin of fruits and vegetables, raw salads, green
peppers, figs, strawberries, pears, apples, potatoes, oats, the husks of grains, whole-grain cereals,
egg yolk.Sagittarians should eat a high protein diet, with lots of broiled poultry and fish, fresh
vegetables and fruit such as beets, tomatoes, plums, cherries, oranges, and lemons , eggs, skim milk,
yogurt, brown rice, and whole wheat. They should drink lots of pure water, eat four mini-meals a day

include ocean fish, lobster, tuna, oysters, spinach, radishes, celery, cabbage, lettuce, corn, squash,
lentils, almonds, walnuts, apples, peaches, pears, lemons, and oranges.

Astrology, Food and Eating Habits
I decided I am going to take a break for a couple days from writing the rising sign series. I want to write about
something different, and something Im interested in: food, nutrition, dietetics. I want to explore how you can
look at food and nutrition from an astrological perspective.
Im going to school to be a dietitian and obviously in practice, astrology is not going to come up unless a client
asks me. But Im interested in exploring food and nutrition in relation to astrology.
Why do we have the food habits we do? Environment plays a role. When we are children, we eat what our
parents give us. But what happens when we form our own individualized likes and dislikes? Do you ever find your
eating habits are different from your familys?
In astrology, we look at food in relation to the Moon. Generalized health, nutrition and food is related to
the Sixth House. Basically, when looking at food and nutrition we can look at the Moon sign, Moon aspects
and whats going on in your sixth house.
Moon signs:
Aries moon is going to want to eat quickly. This can be a problem if he/she doesnt know when they are full.
Eating slower can produce a better feeling of fullness. Aries alone is going to produce someone who is impatient
with cooking and wants things quick and convenient.
Taurus moon likes eating, but that does not make them obese. Taurus moon likes the sensuality of food, eating
it and eating it slowly. There might be a tendency to want to eat too many cakes and sweets. Taurus moon is
going to like to cook. There might be a foodie tendency.
Gemini moon likes to snack. These people are likely to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. They can be either health
nuts or junk food addicts. It just depends. Anything quick to open and eat on the go is good.There might be a
tendency towards inconsistent eating patters: varying from healthy eating to junk food eating, or going back and
forth between vegetarianism and omnivore-like eating.
Cancer moon loves food, but again, does not make them fat. Just because someone likes to eat does not make
them fat. Cancer moon likes all kinds of food, ranging from processed foods to homemade foods. Cancer is going
to prefer home cooked meals, but knows that sometimes it is unrealistic to eat home cooked meals everyday.
There is a tendency towards comfort foods. When I think of Cancer moon, Olive Garden comes to mind. ( I am
sorry if you do not like Olive Garden. That is just what I think of ).
Leo moon is willing to spend more money on a food if it is high quality. As children, they may have been junk
food junkies. There is a love of rich desserts. Cheesecake and expensive dark chocolate come to mind. Leo
moon people are either going to be: A. overly concerned and dogmatic about eating habits. A.k.a going to Whole
Foods to buy only organic foods. B. addicted to junk foods and sweets. There is going to need to be a balance
and the balance can be found.
Virgo moon is traditionally associated with health. Low-calorie, low sodium, organic, fresh, etc. Virgo moons are
going to like easy to make, fresh and super healthy foods. Smoothies, sandwiches, nuts, hummus and pita bread,
etc. If youre a Virgo moon and you eat nothing but junk food, look to your Moon aspects.
Libra moon is associated with sweets. Libra moon have a sweet tooth, but that does not mean they can not
combat the sweet tooth. Likes all kinds of food and a variety of food, anything sensual. In good cases, a Libra
moon is a balanced eater who eats everything in moderation. He/she has their vices, but is able to balance it out!
Scorpio moon people either care a lot about what they eat or not at all. A former friend of mine had a Scorpio
moon and would never eat at all in the morning and afternoon and then binge eat at night. Bad idea.Able to
transform eating habits and heal through food.
Sagittarius moon likes to eat, thanks to Jupiter. Anything and everything goes. Sagittarius moon is daring at
what they eat, sometimes liking ethnic foods. ( Chinese take out, Thai take out, Chipotle Mexican girl? )
Someone I know with Saggie moon works at Chipotle! Sagittarius moon is not always the healthiest eater in the
world.
Capricorn moon is a disciplined eater, only eating when he/she is hungry. In extreme cases anorexia.
Capricorn moon never eats too much and eats fairly healthy. Capricorn moon wants the best and is willing to

blueberries.

of food. Might have odd combination, but they dont care. Aquarius moon does whatever it wants and that goes
with food too. Generally healthy eaters, even if choices are a little strange.

food as meals. Likes sweets, cakes, and anything decadent. Emotional eating, or emotional NOT eating if

exercise and do work. These people might be into exercise, body building or sports and sees food as fuel.

except these ones have more of a problem with moderation. ( unless something else shows in their chart, like a
strong Saturn or a Saturn aspect as well to the Moon ).
Moon aspects to Saturn:
