Leo Health and Wellbeing
Leo chiefly governs the heart, upper area of the spine and
the back in general. The heart is traditionally associated with warm emotions
and the back with courage. Needless to say, Leo natives display both of these
desirable qualities in abundance and are blessed with an open personality...one
which gives wholeheartedly of itself to others and lives life to the fullest.
Moderation should always be the keynote for Leo natives and
if such a regime is followed, then the reward is likely to be a very long life.
However, there is a tendency here to toward excitement and any form of
over-indulgence should be avoided. Possessed with magnificent vitality and a
robust constitution, those ruled by this Sign usually make a quick recovery
from ailments and/or injuries.
Nevertheless, these natives are subject to organic weakness,
cramps, palpitations, spasms of the heart and possibly the occasional bout of
fainting. Other ailments common to those governed by Leo include scrofula and
other skin diseases invariably caused by poor circulation and impurities of the
blood. Violent fevers are also quite common among Leo individuals, as are
spinal troubles, weakness of the back, lungs and kidneys.
There may also be present such conditions as a torpid liver,
convulsions, apolplexy, pleurisy, gout and janudice...all manifestations
associated with an unfavorable mode of living and lack of self-control. It
should be noted that there is also a need here to be wary of hypertension and
such ailments as hardening of the arteries and blood clots. These natives may
also fall victim to varicose veins and chilblains in cold weather.
Leo
natives often push themselves so hard that they suffer strain from
over-exertion and nerves. Here, the upper back is likely to tire more easily
than any other area of the body. There is also a tendency to experience pain
and pressure around the heart. Indeed, when startled, the heart of a Leo
subject will seem to almost "jump" into the throat and it is not
unusual for such an individual to feel the pulse beat inside the head. Leo's
ruling planet, the Sun, has always been associated with the heart, back and
spinal column and thus, also influences the spleen and vitality of the entire
body.
Given
that this Sign is characterized by growth, vitality and good health, Leo
natives are customarily noted for their longevity and healthy lives. However,
they must learn to slow down in later years in order to avoid the risk of heart
attack. Individuals governed by this Sign enjoy the good life and eating well
is a part of such enjoyment. In short, they like rich foods and fine wines.
Fortunately, young Leo natives are likely to have a strong stomach and good
circulation, coupled with the tendency to keep in shape because, by nature,
they are inclined to be active individuals.
However,
in time, such over-indulgent habits will invariably take their toll and it will
be necessary for the Leo subject to learn how to eat correctly and cut down on
fatty foods. In addition, being inherent leaders and commanders, Leo natives
tend to burden themselves with much responsibility and work-related pressures.
Thus, they are often so single-mindedly busy pursuing career objectives that it
can be detrimental to their health.
To
remain healthy, it is vital that the diet of those who fall within the
jurisdiction of Leo be uniform, wholesome, sustaining and carefully watched.
All spicy and/or stimulating foods and drinks should be avoided, coupled with
the practice of temperate habits and harmonious surroundings...all of which are
essential to the health and happiness of Leo natives.
