Signs of Health - Is Your Health Ruled By Your Star Sign?

I would like to share this intriguing astrological article I found from Vernon Coleman:

This Special Report gives general material and opinions for information only and is not to be considered an alternative to professional medical advice. Readers should consult their family doctors or other qualified medical advisers on any matter relating to their health and wellbeing.

SIGNS OF HEALTH
Is Your Health Ruled By Your Star Sign?

Does your astrological birth sign really have an influence on your health? Is someone born under Libra more likely to suffer from heart disease than someone born under Taurus? Are Aquarians more inclined to suffer from arthritis than Scorpios?

A lot of nonsense is written about the influence of astrological signs on our lives. And so in an attempt to get at the truth I have conducted a scientific study

You may find it difficult to understand why astrological signs should have any influence on health (or, indeed, on anything else). I readily admit that I find it difficult to understand why there should be any such link.

But the results obtained in this study seem to leave no room for doubt: your date of birth, and the astrological sign under which you were born, do seem to have a significant impact on the type of diseases to which you are most likely to be susceptible.

My conclusion is simple: the astrology-health link is a significant one which we can no longer ignore. You can use the information in this report in the same way that you can use other personal health information

This is a continuation of my previous post:

THE SICKEST AND HE HEALTHIEST

For the purpose of this survey I collected information about symptoms in 20 different categories:

  • anxiety and/or depression
  • bone or joint problems (such as arthritis, rheumatism)
  • heart disease/high blood pressure
  • breathing problems (such as asthma, bronchitis)
  • hair or skin problems (such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis)
  • kidney or urinary problems (such as cystitis)
  • neurological problems (such as epilepsy
  • female disorders (affecting the womb or ovaries)
  • male disorders (affecting the penis or testicles)
  • sexual problems (such as impotence, or unusually high or low libido
  • cancer
  • infectious diseases (chronic, recurrent or frequent infections)
  • blood disorders (such as anaemia or leukaemia)
  • hormone, endocrine or metabolic disorders (such as diabetes or thyroid disease
  • nutritional problems (such as obesity, anorexia, vitamin defiency)
  • liver and gall bladder disease (such as hepatitis and gall stones
  • digestive problems (such as indigestion, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome
  • breast problems
  • eye problems
  • ear, nose and throat problems

The average respondent in this survey complained of having (or having had) suffered from diseases in 4.48 of these categories.

The following list shows where each of the 12 star signs stand in relation to one another with regard to the average number of disorders complained about.

Although all 12 signs are relatively close to one another, there is absolutely no doubt from these results that Sagittarians seem to suffer from far fewer different diseases than individuals under any other star signs. Equally, there is no doubt that those born under Scorpio and Gemini seem, on average, to suffer most.

This table lists the average number of types of illnesses (out of a possible 20) suffered by individuals born under the twelve different star signs.

Do not despair if you find that your star sign is one which seems to be associated with a wide variety of types of ill health. Remember that knowing your susceptibilities can help you protect yourself and improve your health.

Less diseases than average:

1. Sagittarius 3.85
2. Virgo 4.10
3. Capricorn 4.26
4. Pisces 4.47

Average:[/I]

5. Aries 4.48
6. Libra 4.48

More diseases than average:

7. Aquarius 4.52
8. Leo 4.62
9. Taurus 4.63
10. Cancer 4.64
11. Gemini 4.78
12 Scorpio 4.96

YOUR STAR SIGN AND YOUR HEALTH: THE COMPLETE RESULTS

The figures on the following tables show the likelihood of an individual born under each star sign suffering from the condition named. For example, an individual born under the star sign of Cancer will have a 69% chance of suffering from anxiety and/or depression in his or her lifetime.

It is important to remember that these figures should not be taken as meaning that anyone has immunity to a particular type of illness. Everyone is susceptible to every disease (with obvious gender limitations

What the research does show, however, is that there are links between star signs and an extra susceptibility to some specific disorders. And this information can be useful

Please note that these figures are rather lower than the normal figures for the lifetime incidence of specific diseases. For example, the incidence of cancer is now generally regarded as one in three. In other words one in three individuals will develop cancer (though they will not necessarily die of it). The figures here are lower than this because the people taking part in this survey were, inevitably, only part of the way through their lives. Most illnesses develop in the last few decades of life.

Anxiety and /or depression.

Those born under the star signs of Cancer and Aries seem to be significantly more likely to suffer from anxiety and/or depression while those born under the star signs of Capricorn, Virgo and Aquarius seem significantly less likely than average to suffer from problems of this type.

The average risk level is 59%. This means that those born under the sign Libra have an average chance of developing anxiety or depression. Those above Libra on this list have a greater than an average chance of developing anxiety or depression. Those below Libra on this list have a lower than average chance of developing anxiety or depression.

  • Cancer 69%
  • Aries 67%
  • Leo 62%
  • Pisces 62%
  • Gemini 61%
  • Sagittarius 61%
  • Libra 59%
  • Taurus 57%
  • Scorpio 54%
  • Capricorn 52%
  • Virgo 52%
  • Aquarius 38%

Bone or joint problems

Those born under the star signs Capricorn, Libra and Taurus all seem to have a significantly enhanced risk of suffering from bone or joint problems. In contrast those born under the star signs Aries, Virgo and Cancer seem to have a lower than average risk of suffering from disorders such as arthritis and rheumatism.

The average risk level is 61%. Those above this level on this list have a greater than an average chance of developing bone or joint problems. Those below 61% on this list have a lower than average chance of developing bone or joint problems.

  • Capricorn 74%
  • Libra 74%
  • Taurus 70%
  • Leo 65%
  • Gemini 64%
  • Aquarius 62%
  • Pisces 60%
  • Scorpio 58%
  • Sagittarius 57%
  • Aries 55%
  • Virgo 55%
  • Cancer 45%

Heart disease/high blood pressure

It seems from these results that individuals born under the star signs Leo, Gemini, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio may need to take particular care to protect themselves against heart and blood pressure problems. It seems that individuals least likely to suffer from problems of this type are those born under Pisces, Aries, Capricorn and Sagittarius.

The average risk level is 33%. This means that those born under the signs Taurus and Aquarius have an average chance of developing heart disease or high blood pressure problems. Those above Taurus and Aquarius on this list have a greater than an average chance of developing heart disease or high blood pressure or similar problems. Those below Taurus and Aquarius on this list have a lower than average chance of developing heart disease, high blood pressure or a similar problem.

  • Leo 46%
  • Gemini 43%
  • Virgo 39%
  • Libra 37%
  • Scorpio 37%
  • Aquarius 33%
  • Taurus 33%
  • Cancer 29%
  • Pisces 27%
  • Aries 26%
  • Capricorn 26%
  • Sagittarius 24%

Breathing problems (asthma, bronchitis etc)

Those born under the star signs Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Cancer all seem to be exposed to an unusually high risk of developing a problem of this type. On the other hand those born under Aries, Capricorn, Libra and Sagittarius seem less likely to be affected by breathing problems.

The average risk level is 27%. This means that those born under the sign Pisces have an average chance of developing asthma, bronchitis or another type of breathing problem. Those above Pisces on this list have a greater than an average chance of developing a breathing problem. Those below Pisces on this list have a lower than average chance of developing a breathing problem.

  • Taurus 37%
  • Scorpio 37%
  • Leo 35%
  • Cancer 33%
  • Virgo 29%
  • Pisces 27%
  • Gemini 25%
  • Aquarius 24%
  • Aries 22%
  • Capricorn 18%
  • Libra 18%
  • Sagittarius 18%

Hair or skin problems

Those born under Pisces, Aries, Libra, Aquarius and Gemini all seem to have an enhanced chance of suffering from a hair or skin problem. In contrast those born under Sagittarius, Scorpio, Virgo and Taurus all seem to have a reduced risk of suffering from a hair or skin problem.

The average risk level is 24%. This means that those born under the signs Leo and Cancer have an average chance of developing a hair or skin problem - such as eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis. Thos above Leo and Cancer on this list have a greater than average chance of developing a hair or skin problem. Those below Leo and Cancer on this list have a lower than average chance of developing a hair or skin problem.

  • Pisces 35%
  • Aries 33%

  • Leo 24%
  • Sagittarius 21%
  • Virgo 19%
  • Scorpio 12%
  • Taurus 10%

Kidney or urinary problems

Those born under Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus and Gemini all appear to have an increased risk of suffering from kidney or urinary problems. Those born under Leo, Virgo, Aries, Capricorn and Sagittarius appear to have a reduced risk of suffering from kidney or urinary problems. Those born under Leo should be aware that the low level of risk which seems to be associated with this sign should not be misinterpreted as meaning that there is no risk at all.

The average risk level is 24%. Those above this level on this list have a greater than an average chance of developing a kidney or bladder problem. Those below this level on this list have a lower than average chance of developing a bladder or kidney problem.

  • Scorpio 46%
  • Aquarius 38%
  • Taurus 33%
  • Gemini 32%
  • Cancer 26%
  • Libra 26%
  • Pisces 25%
  • Virgo 19%

CONCLUSION

To be aware of your susceptibilities is to increase your chances of survival. If you have a family history of heart disease or diabetes then you would be foolish not to take very special care to make sure that you do not expose yourself unnecessarily to external factors which might increase your chances of suffering from that problem. If you have a family history of diabetes then you would be wise to watch your diet carefully, to avoid becoming overweight and to have regular check ups for early signs of developing diabetes.

The information produced by this research should be used in a similar way. So, for example, if your star sign shows that you are unusually susceptible to digestive problems then you should take special care to avoid that type of problem.

About this survey

This study is based on 1,643 separate pieces of information supplied by 367 respondents in the autumn of 1999. I hope that the results will encourage other researchers to continue the work begun with this paper.

Your stats are incredibly interesting.

I am a life long sufferer of eczema, but I would say it is rather mild compared to others. I have Aqu sun but I also have mars in gemini, opposed neptune.

Skin issues of pisceans - probably some affliction to their ruler of neptune or sun.

Aqu's nutritional probs is probably caused by the erratic nature of their personalities and maybe even a personal neglect. Again, infectious diseases, just cos we are wierd :p :)

But since then, I have not had any problems with ENT issues.

Also what about circulation issues? When it is too cold, I can't feel my toes. Surely this is an Aqu thing.

I notice in general, those of mutable signs have least disease and fixed, the most. Is it how it is taken by the person?

Heart disease is in leo is probably caused by the fact that leo rules the heart and there is some afflication. Probably caused by an outrageous partying lifestyle they lead. I have noticed that a lot of leos that I know smoke and drink.

Sag is healthy probably because it is ruled by Jupiter. Cap becuase it rules bones has probably has bone probs if there is a sun or sat affliction. Maybe taurean asthma has something to do with its square with Aqu, an air sign.

I am intrigued by Aries' inclination towards anxiety and depression, especially since these are not generally traits associated with this sign...

Well I think a lot of it has to do with more than a person's sun sign. Since both anxiety and depression are mental health issues, and this kind of falls within the piscean world, I would say a lot of these Arians have something from their neighbouring pisces in them; maybe an afflicted piscean mercury of something.

I agree; I wish this study involved other planetary influences as well!

With the exception of my Pisces North Node, which I consider to be more of an indication of what one must strive for rather than a natural component of one's personality, I have no Pisces influence in my natal chart; indeed, my only water placement is the generational influence of Pluto in Scorpio. Therefore, unless one utilizes the sidereal zodiac, I am devoid of an energy many spiritual persons hold in greatest esteem--sensitivity, emotional depth, and many other characteristics indicative of an enlightened society. If only those primitive fire signs were capable of complex emotions and could transcend their own anger, jealousy, and lust!

For months I have meticulously combed through my natal chart, searching for indications that may explain my considerable sensitivity and inclination towards both anxiety and depression. Like many other astrologers and astrology enthusiasts, I immediately dismissed Aries as the origin of these mental health issues; Aries is an uncomplicated sign, so surely any of its innate difficulties would be uncomplicated as well!

Perhaps I am simply ranting, yet I believe my identity has more facets than modern astrology can explain...

The sagittarians I know have never been really depressed. They have a buoyant optimism ...

..But Librans afaik, are very prone to depression, basically because they are such people pleasers and their sense of harmony is always undergoing distortion.

..Scorpios, being the extremists of the signs, can fall really deep into depression.

I think as was mentioned, it goes beyond general sun signs, even though alluding ailments to a sign is the basis of symbolism anyway.

...especially if one has a stellium, the intensity of their nature would tend towards brooding and depression.

What if an individual has two stelliums that form a series of hard aspects to each other?

Hi Arian Maverick,
I think the traits as mentioned then would be increased. I recently talked to someone who said that stelliums give rise to complex and intense natures, so I guess two would have a greater effect than one, and the hard aspects mean there are more thigs to be resolved.
(A conjuction is also a hard aspect for many sources, thus stelliums are super hard aspects).

It surprises me that Aries and Cancer suffer the most from depression. I would have bet Capricorns were the ones to suffer from depression!

Very interesting article,even though I must say I haven't read it all,the article is just huge and I have the atention spam of a bean!!!Blame the Mars in Gemini!!!

I wholeheartdly agree with 23,this things go beyond Sun signs-there should be a study like this but for other chart factors.

Yes,I would never associate Aries with depression-with anxiety,yes,Aries have that urge to get what they want,when they want and how they want it.So maybe the anxiety is generated because Aries' wants a lot of things-but can't get it all and even if they can't,waiting for what they desire gets them extremely frustrated.

As for the depression-I can't imagine restless,impulsive Aries lying in bed crying all day.What strikes me about this is that Aries does rule the head-but not the brain.Or does Aries rule the brain?

I've read a quote somewhere that the seeds of depression die a quick death in Arian soil, and I would tend to agree with this statement unless there is a strong Saturn/Capricorn influence present in the chart or the chart ruler Mars is located in a water sign, where it may express itself in a matter quite different from that associated with Aries and other fire signs.

I've also read, I believe from the same source, that depression is anger turned inwards, and I believe many of us are familiar with Aries' legendary anger. It is also a very individually-oriented sign, so the above definition would describe Aries quite well, in my opinion.

Aries' tendency towards anxiety didn't surprise me either, but as for its possible connection with depression, I know from personal experience that prolonged anxiety can trigger depression, although it seems farther along the natural progression of psychological disorders for this sign.

Here's an amusing, tongue-in-cheek idea that just occurred to me: Perhaps Arians become depressed when the world doesn't cater immediately to their needs! We do tend to be an impatient lot, and beneath the outer layers of confidence and boldness lies great insecurity.

I read those quotes too,I believe someone on this forum said them somewhere.

You're probably right-maybe Aries de pression has to do with acumulated anxiety.On the other hand,Aries are not too good dealing wiht their feelings,are they-when life throws bad things at them they try to keep away their pain and move on,until it all builds up and explodes.

It's funny-Pisceans have a hard time dealing with their egos,Arians have a hard time dealing with their hearts.

I would never think of Cancer for anxiety as well-I may be wrong but I've always regarded anxiety as an urge for something,and I've seen Cancer as very melancholic and focused on the past.

Oh well-medical astrology is still a msytery to me:eek:!

Aries is really goal oriented as well as cancer. If there are two signs that are complete opposite as far as flows go cancer and aries are it. cancer inflow emotion. Aries outflow emotion. Any flow that goes too far in one direction for too long leads to a reverse flow. They are both doers. Mabie it's goal oriented problems that lead to depression. Like creating goals that one can not achieve in a short span of time. Earth signs I believe are often too unconcious to really pay too much attention too themselves some times. Like they can be negative and it doesn't really bother them too much, they just plow onward. you can often crack a joke about a capricorn and they will heartily laugh at themselves, you cant always do this with a cancer or aries. Capricorn is an outflow of sorts somewhat, and they are goal oriented as well, but the flow doesn't directly come from self Like in aries or Leo. Capricorns do have a tendency for peccimism, but that isn't really depression. Capricorns don't usually put allot of attention on emotions. Mabie this is more the tendency towards arthritis and such. They just keep plowing on through life, doing their duty, whatever that is. It does seem that capricorn's do have the strange manifestaition of reaching out into the society that they are in and society compels them to do their job. My brother has something like 5 or 6 planets in capricorn including saturn, he's 16 and he can crack his nuckles by just closing his fist. He has quite a few other joint problems as well. yet they really don't bother him yet, I get the idea they will later on though.

I found this sight a while ago and I have always found the diagrams of the signs that this researcher has come up with interesting, read it with a grain of salt though. He has a whole sight of interesting information but it may not be for everyone. One doesn't have to agree with all of his views to find some of the information interesting.

Interesting survey, beloved Moderator.

Under Nutritional Problems, the percentage value for Virgo has been omitted (thought I'd get that in before Draco did). :rolleyes:

Interesting to note that the four fixed signs all occur in the More Diseases Than Average section.

Further research might consider whether there are differences in recuperation times between the signs.

I would agree with this strongly. I'm an Aries with a Cancer Moon and Pisces Mercury (sq Saturn) and I have always blamed those wimpy 'low' moments on my oversensitive Moon and negative self-defeating thoughts on my afflicted dreamy Mercury. I've always been thankful that my impatient Sun doesn't have the stomach for being 'down' for too long and kicks my butt back out there with renewed (if not overly though-out) optimism.
