Dr. Oz & Rebecca Gordon: What Astrology Says About Your Health & Mind

Dr. Oz: What Astrology Says About Your Health

Dr. Oz continued his discussion about astrological signs and their connection to your health with Rebecca Gordon, astrologer and author of “Your Body and the Stars.”

Virgo: Digestive Problems

Rebecca Gordon told Dr. Oz that Virgo, the sign for people born between August 23 and September 22, is ruled by the belly. Astrologers believe the state of your belly is a metaphor for how you digest reality. Digestion issues are the most common health problem among Virgos.

Libra: Sore Back Aches & Pains

Libra rules the lower back and is the sign of those born between September 23 and October 22. Libras tend to give too much to others, often not focusing enough on themselves and their own lives, resulting in a sore back. It is the body’s metaphor for not being able to stand up straight and focus on self care.

Scorpio: Reproductive Issues

Rebecca Gordon told Doctor Oz that Scorpio rules the sacral center and is the sign of rebirth of a generation. Those born between October 23 and November 21 and Scorpios. Astrologers believe Scorpios are more at risk of holding on to past relationships or experiences and that refusal to move forward can lead to reproductive problems.

Sagittarius: Hip Pain

Sagittarius is the centaur, half-man, half-horse and the sign of those born between November 22 and December 21. The man and horse meet at the hips, the center of balance. Rebecca Gordon told Dr. Oz that astrologers believe that Sagittarius’ are more at risk for loose or tight hips.

Capricorn: Knee Pain

Dr. Oz said that Capricorn, the knees of the goat, is the sign of people born between December 22 and January 19. Capricorns tend to take on too much responsibility. They are pragmatic, professional, and responsible, but too much responsibility can cause weakness or pain in the knees.

Aquarius: Sprained Ankles

Aquarius, a water sign, represents the ankles. Dr. Oz said that Aquarius is the sign of those born between January 20 and February 18. Aquarius reminds us about our individuality and uniquness in the world. Ankles enable you to stand up on your own in the world, which is why it is important to have strong ankles and be mindful of your individuality, as well as the ability to maintain balance within. Aquarius’ tend to be inventive, humanitarian, and individuated.

Pisces: What Your Astrological Sign Says About Your Health

Rebecca Gordon told Dr. Oz that Pisces, the feet of the fish, is the sign of people born between February 19 and March 20. The feet are the connection between the spiritual being and the physical world. Pisces rules the connection between spiritual and physical, and when it is out of balance, you may experience foot pain. Pisces tend to be transcendent, artistic, and compassionate.

Dr. Oz: Astrology Health Tips

Gordon believes that no matter what your sign is, there are certain things that are effective for improving your health. First, you must learn and practice how to stand on one foot, rather than two, as a representation of standing on your own in the world without being swayed by the opinions of others. Breathe deeply, like you would if you were meditating, and practice balancing on one foot. Just be sure to practice on both sides to keep you balanced.

Dr. Oz’s other great idea is to use a neti pot to clean your sinuses or as Rebecca suggested, to clear your head, literally and spiritually. Neti pots have been used for thousands of years. You have the five senses in your head as well as your brain, which is why you want to keep that region clear.
