(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. For the medical perspective, please consult your doctor.)
Now that Saturn is out of your own Sign (late last year), health and vitality seem much improved. Not only that, but with your 6th House of Health very strong this year - two long-term planets are there - you are focused here - you are not ignoring things - you are into healthy lifestyles and disciplined health regimes. I consider this a good health signal.
Pluto is making a major move from your 5th House to your 6th House this year. He is not yet established in your House of Health, but will flirt between these two Houses this year. He enters your 6th House permanently on November 27, where he will stay for the next 20 or so years.
This has profound health implications. For some of you, it shows a tendency to surgery - to see surgery as the solution to health problems. But many of you will opt for detox regimes, which in many cases can accomplish the same thing. You will start to see that good health is not so much about adding things to the body, but merely about removing things that shouldn't be there.
Pluto's move into your House of Health will also make you aware of the importance of emotional health, domestic harmony, harmonious family relationships. Good health for you is going to be more than just about how many miles you can run or bike, or how many pounds you can bench-press. It is more than just 'no physical symptoms' - it is also about feeling good emotionally - being in emotional harmony -being in a good mood. If health problems arise, this will be an area to check out and restore to harmony. (Pluto is the ruler of your 4th House, which rules these things.)
Pluto, generically, rules the sexual organs. So good health also means a healthy sex life. It also shows that safe sex is more important than usual. Now, Leo is perhaps (next to Scorpio) the sexiest Sign in the Zodiac. Sexual moderation is not easy here. But if you listen to your body, be aware, you will know when you've had enough. The abuse of the sex force can be a spiritual root-cause of problems now.
Pluto also rules the colon and bladder, so these organs are important this year and for many years to come.
Saturn is your health planet. In the physical body, Saturn rules the spine, knees, teeth, bone structure, gall bladder and overall skeletal alignment. These are always important -in any year. But this year, Saturn is in the Sign of Virgo, so the small intestine is also important. It needs more attention than usual.
This year Jupiter is in your House of Health, too. In the physical body, Jupiter rules the liver and thighs - and these organs, too, become important in overall health.
Regular back and thigh massage will be excellent this year. And there are many, many natural therapies that will strengthen all the areas mentioned above. But if you like you can work with our foot reflexology chart (opposite).
Jupiter rules your 5th House of Fun, Creativity and Children. This gives us many other health messages. You are concerned about the health of children - perhaps more than your own health. A creative hobby - something you do for the sheer fun of it - will be especially therapeutic this year. Joy itself (something you already know about, but we're just reminding you) is a great healing force. If you feel under the weather, go out and have some fun. A night out on the town will often do you as much good as a visit to a health professional. Laugh a lot and avoid depression like the plague. Lack of joy can be another spiritual root-cause of health problems.
Your ideas of health are becoming much more 'holistic' ihan usual. Your health attitudes are broadening.
In general I expect health to be good; the above-mentioned therapies are merely ways to make it even better.
