There is so much information on the Internet that is mind-boggling. Incredible as this may sound, your wellness roadmap is written in the stars.
Take this seriously or with a grain of salt. If it gets a laugh out of you, then it has served you well. Mind you, much of this information makes sense. Read and enjoy what medical astrology has to say. As far as I am concerned, being a Leo, my fiery constitution as depicted has some truth in it.
Element
Every sign belongs to an element. And every element determines your unique constitutional makeup.
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius are passionate, strong, energetic.
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn are grounded and steady.
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius are spirited and full of vitality.
Water: Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio are emotionally absorbent, moody and changeable.
Fire signs
Your element rules the function of internal burning or combustion, especially digestion. This also involves the assimilation of food. The act of burning symbolizes the purification of one’s system by the elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus. It is easy for fire signs to fight disease. There is also an affinity to warmer temperatures.
Tendencies
High Fire: When overstimulated, fire people tend to overextend themselves leading to exhaustion. Too much fire leads to impatience and anger.
Guard against: Hypertension, heart problems, internal inflammation and heart disease
Remedy: Bring back the balance with cool, moist food. Take root crops, grains, teas (chamomile and valerian root).

Water signs

Because you easily absorb negativity from people and places, you are easily prone to brooding and magnify your problems as bigger than what they are. Health problems recur in cycles.

If you can, live by the sea. Eat oats, rice, wheat, dairy products and natural sugar from fruits. Don’t eat beans and food that are natural diuretics—carrots, celery, cabbage and asparagus.
