Back in the day, physicians studied dreams and the planets in order to determine a patient’s treatment. And, although it’s been long since the method is out of practice, there is still some value in understanding the ways astrology can help heal you.
According to astrology, each zodiac sign is responsible for a specific part of the body, and if it’s diseased, channeling the energy of that sign can be helpful.
Aries
Body part: Aries governs the head, hair and face.
Energy: Aries’ energy is about leadership, ambition and self-determination. It also rules over emotions of anger, confidence and courage.
Imbalances: When Aries’ energy is out of balance, it can manifest in the form of migraines, headaches, low self-esteem, a runny nose and sinus problem. It might also appear in the form of skin problems, such as acne, eczema, rashes and hair loss.
Healing: The sign of the Aries is all about standing up for yourself and living the life you want. If you’ve been hiding in the background, or if you’ve listened to your ego far too much, it might be time to balance it all out. It might also mean that you need to ease up on the overthinking, slow down your tempo or pay attention to the world around you.
Taurus
Body part: Taurus rules the neck, throat, thyroid gland, tonsils and the upper back.
Energy:Taurus’ energy is about consistency and stability. It governs material or physical possessions, and the feelings of security and self-assurance.
Imbalances:When the Taurus energy is out of balance, it can come up in the form of neck pain, a sore throat, hoarse voice, or pain in the upper back. It might also make you feel “stuck”, or afraid of losing something.
Healing:The Taurus is all about being practical, in order to be secure and organized in life. If you don’t feel grounded or like you’re in a perpetual loop of some sort, it might be time to pay attention to your throat area. One way of doing this is to wear blue crystals, sing or make some changes in your physical environment.
Gemini
Body part: Brain, thoughts, ability to mimic gestures.
Energy:A Gemini expresses itself freely, and organizes its thoughts in a way understandable for other people. Geminis are great conversationalists, writers and orators.
Imbalances:Scattered thoughts and confused mental processes present themselves when the Gemini is out of balance. It can also entice people to gossip and speak without thinking.

Body part:Chest, breast and heart area.
Energy:Cancer energy is about channeling your emotions, and expressing your feeling and truth. It’s also a very sympathetic energy, making you want to be of service to others.
Imbalances:A manifestation of Cancer energy imbalance is feeling confused, uncontrollable emotions, exhaustion, irritability, and the desire to be alone. Respiratory difficulties, like coughing, pain in the chest and emotional eating are common.
Healing:Breathing exercises are helpful, and so is physical activity and spending time outdoors. Humanitarian work can also make you feel better, volunteering, giving to others or spending time alone and pampering yourself.
Leo
Body part:Heart and upper back.
Energy: The Leo is all about being the true you, and its energy is confident, proud and determined to express or seek out whatever it desires.
Imbalances:When out of balance, the Leo energy manifests in the form of heart trouble, emotional unavailability, low self-esteem, shyness or a preoccupation with fears.
Healing: Creative expression is the solution for balancing Leo energy. Art, poetry, music, theatre are the way to go. Yoga helps open the heart area, so does communicating your feelings with people you care most for.
