We all have the 12 zodiac signs within us in some way.
This is not just on an emotional and spiritual level, but on a physical level as well. In fact, each body part or area of your body is also ruled by a particular zodiac energy.
In the early days of medicine, doctors used to study dreams and the planets in order to work out how best to treat a patient. While this technique is long gone, there is still some value in understanding how astrology can help to heal you.
In astrology, each zodiac sign governs a different part of the body. When this part of the body is facing illness, channelling the energy of that sign can help.
Here is how you can use each astrology sign to heal your body:
# Aries
Body: Aries rules over the head, hair and face.
Energy: Aries energy is all about leadership, standing up for yourself and going after what it is that you truly desire. It also rules over the emotions of anger, self-confidence and courage.
Imbalances: When Aries energy is not in balance it can manifest as headaches, migraines, loss of self confidence, runny nose and sinus problems. It can also manifest as acne, skin problems, eczema, rashes and hair loss.
Healing: Aries energy is all about being able to stand up for who you truly are and lead your life in a direction that feels good. If you have been hiding in the shadows, or perhaps even being lead too much by your ego, it may be time to bring this into balance. It may also indicate that you need to let go of over-active thoughts, slow down or pay attention to the world around you.

Healing: Taurus energy is about taking a practical and methodical approach to life in order to feel secure and organised. If you have been lacking groundedness or perhaps stuck in a never ending cycle, it may be time to bring this into balance by harmonizing your throat area. You can do this using blue crystals, singing and also making some changes to your life and external environment.
