Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health .ind not a medical one. For the medical perspective, please consult your doctor.

For many years (since 1995) Pluto was in harmonious .ispect to you. Now he is moving into Capricorn and inharmonious aspect. There he joins Jupiter - another long-term planet - in a stressful aspect. So, health is basically good, but energy is not as high as last year. In coming years you will have pay more attention here.

The good news is that your 6th House of Health is strong and thus you ARE giving health the attention it needs. Two planets making stressful aspects are not enough to cause major problems - especially if you are taking care of your­self. But when the planets start to 'gang up' on you (such as from January 1 to January 20, March 20 to April 19, June 21 to July 22 and December 21 to 31) then you have to be more careful. These are periods to reduce activity, rest and relax more, and let go of inessential things.

The good news is that there is much you can do to enhance your health and prevent problems from developing. First off, pay more attention to the ankles and feet. Wear shoes that fit right and don't pinch you or throw you off balance. Better from a health perspective to sacrifice fashion for comfort - but you Librans aren't likely to sacrifice fash­ion. Perhaps, though, you can find both - comfort and fash­ion. Give your ankles more support when exercising or indulging in sport. Regular foot and ankle massage will do wonders for you. You respond very well to these kinds of things. Foot massage is not only good for the feet them­selves, but benefits the whole body - the feet contain reflexes to the entire body. (See the chart opposite.)

Let's go deeper. Neptune is your health planet. In the physical body he rules the feet - thus the importance of the feet in overall health. Neptune rules your health from the Sign of Aquarius. In the physical body, Aquarius rules the ankles - hence their importance in overall health. (Uranus, the planet that rules the ankles, is also in your 6th House of Health - reinforcing what we are saying.)

Neptune also happens to be the most spiritual of all the planets. (And Uranus in your House of Health is in the spiri­tual Sign of Pisces.) Thus, as has been the case for many years now, the spiritual aspects of health are very important for you. You have by now made a lot of progress in this area, and this year you will go more deeply into it. The depths here are infinite, and no matter how much we know there is always more to learn.

The main thing is to be open to intuition if a health prob­lem occurs. And of course, number one when it comes to spiritual healing is to know who the real Healer is - the Divine within you. (Other people can get away with giving healing power to health professionals or drugs or herbs or therapies - but you cannot.) T

here is another important health trend that has been going on for some years now - also ultimately positive. You are in a period where you need to throw out all the rule books and learn how you personally function - how you respond to certain diets, foods, therapies, exercises, etc. What works for other people might not work for you. You are wired up in a very unique way and your health needs are very personal.
