Health

Sound Health is more precious than wealth because it enables you to enjoy life and work hard to accomplish your goals. Mental health is more essential to lead a peaceful life.

According to Astrological principles, the Rising sign or Ascendant is known as the First house. It governs the body and mind. Normal good health is assured if the first house is occupied by Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury or the ruler of the ascendant, unaffiliated. The sun is the giver or life. So the sun sign should also be strong without affliction. Sun is powerful in Aries, Leo and Sagittarius and also in the Airy sign, Gemini but weak in Libra and Aquarius. Persons born with Ascendant or sun in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius generally maintain good health if not afflicted and their vitality is stronger than those born in other signs. During adverse periods, they may suffer from sharp and severe ailments but they can recover soon due to strong resistance power.

Airy signs Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra are the next best for health, if they happen to be the Ascendants or Sun-sign because they give strong constitution. At times they may suffer from weakness, nervous troubles or respiratory problems but they can overcome the troubles through mental rest and changes in the climate and living conditions.

Earthy signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn give a solid constitution and the strength to withstand to wear and tear. At times, they may suffer from severe and chronic ailments and the recovery is slow.

Watery signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are the weakest of all. Scorpio is better than Cancer and Pisces. The people are sensitive emotional and quick to react to external influences.
