Libra Health

Libra is a sign of balance; the slightest imbalance is enough to throw your sensitive body into disorder. When you are ill you expect a great deal of attention; when you do not get it you turn irritable and become more ill still. Because of the swells in your inner world you suffer headaches and a tendency to overeat. Since your nervous system affects your stomach, you should balance the excess acid there with food containing phosphorus. Your metabolism is very slow; because you are fond of spiced, sauced and sugary food, you are liable to put on a great deal of weight. You have to exercise regularly all your life, or heaviness in later years becomes unavoidable for you. Sturdy as you look, you fall ill very quickly; despite your healthy appearance you catch colds easily. Libra stands for the kidneys, the lower back, the spine and the back. And because they are under Venus''s influence, their thyroid can work irregularly; Libras with a weight problem may need a hormone test from time to time. In later life you are a candidate for rheumatic complaints. You need to take more care of yourself than anyone else - and in fact most of you Libras are alert to this; the people who look after themselves most come from this sign.
