A Look at Medical Astrology: Aries

      

By Carmen Turner Schott, MSW, LISW

Let me first start by saying that “I am not a doctor, I am an astrologer”.  Whatever information that I share with you is purely educational and used to increase self-awareness.  I do not diagnose or treat any medical illness.  All the information given in this article is used for education, enlightenment and growth.         Each part of the body is associated with each sign of the zodiac. Now we are going to take a look at Aries. If you were born between the dates of March 20 through April 19 then the Sun was in this sign when you were born.  Medical astrology holds to the fact that we are vulnerable to certain illnesses because of our Sun Sign, but also the vulnerabilities of our polar opposite sign.  Polar opposites are signs that always oppose each other on the wheel.  You can think of it as a see-saw affect and a balancing of energies between both signs.  Aries and Libra are polar opposites and suffer from similar physical vulnerabilities.  If you are one of these signs you will lean closer to the illnesses and sensitivities of one sign more than another, or you may be smack in the middle of both.     Aries rules the head, face, brain, nerve centers, carotid arteries, cranium, and jaw. Aries is subject to all kinds of head complaints such as sinusitis, headaches, tooth and gum afflictions, and baldness. They need to be careful when they drive and operate machinery because they are prone to accidents or injuries to the head and face. Many Arians are born with a birth mark on their head or face.  I remember my first love was an Aries and he suffered from a terrible under- bite.  He was very self-conscious of this and he ended up having surgery on his jaw to fix it, and years later he had to have braces and extensive work done to correct the jaw line.  In my work, I find that many Arians have either under-bites or over-bites of the mouth and teeth. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars.  The planet Mars rules war, aggression, violence, rage and represents our inner drive.  Mars energy makes Arians known for their explosive temper and impulsive nature.  Arians like to act on what they feel and are very passionate people.  When they feel something they tend to act on it, speak it and move forward.  They do not want to be withheld for any reason and if they are not allowed freedom to make decisions in the moment, then they can become upset.  The good thing about Aries is that they get over upsets fast and are known to “forgive and forget”.  This can be hard for their partners and friends who are a different temperament because they will not forget and be able to move on as quickly as Aries does from arguments.    Arians have to speak their mind but have to be careful not to intimidate other people when the Mars fire explodes.  The polar opposite sign of Aries is Libra.  Therefore Arians are susceptible to illness and irritations in the lower back, kidneys, and lumbar region.  They can have problems with the excretory system such as the skin and can have problems causes by eating too much sugar and rich foods. Both signs are vulnerable to lower back pain and need to be extra careful when lifting heavy objects.  Foods that are beneficial for Arians are wheat, barley, and fish.  Too much meat is actually not recommended for Arians because of their fiery nature.  They should avoid heavily spiced foods and eat plenty of fresh salads, tomatoes, spinach, and juices.  Arians need plenty of water to balance and maintain their hot/cold temperament. https://www.carmenturnerschott.com Social Media Links Facebook Pages https://www.facebook.com/www.deepsouldiversastrology https://www.facebook.com/CarmenTurnerSchottWriter YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/carmenturnerschott @CarmenTurnerSchott Instagram: carmen_turner_schott_author Twitter: @astroawareness
