Virgo - Medical Astrology Sun Sign VIRGO (August 23 - September 21):

No one is more health conscious or health aware than you! Every germ, bacteria and virus, comes under your personal scrutiny! And no one is more aware of the spreading of germs, so you may wash your hands frequently--just to make sure you're not carrying one about or transmitting it elsewhere! Hand washing, in the extreme, becomes an obsession, but most Virgos don't carry it to that end--although some do, and then we need to seek out homeopathic constitutional treatment to come back into harmony so we don't think every "bug" is out to get us. One of the healthiest signs in the zodiac because you DO watch what you eat, where it comes from and observe strict sanitary states of cleanliness (your saying is: "Cleanliness is next to godliness"). Virgo would never think of eating anything that looked remotely dirty or putrid or foul looking. Perish the thought! No one understands like a Virgo that what you eat will show very clearly on you. Consequently, they do best on a grain heavy type of diet, with vegetables, some fruit and a little meat (poultry or fish). They are more apt to be vegetarian or vegans, than any other sign in the zodiac. Meat is repugnant to them. One reason is they have such a soft heart for animals that they cannot bear to see them slaughtered in the name of food. Virgo rules many things anatomically speaking; among them, our liver, which is the major cleansing station of the body to get rid of poisons and toxins that could kill us. Another is the pancreas, which keeps our blood sugar stable--if it isn't, then we're open to hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, which is diabetes. Many Virgos have indigestion, but it comes from a sluggish liver, not from weak stomach digestive acids. These are the weak organs for Virgo: the liver and the pancreas, plus the small intestines. Unfortunately, when Virgos get stressed out, they get diarrhea. Some Virgos will get a chronic version of this, known as Crohn's Disease. Virgo is a mutable sign like Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces, and none of them can stand stress for inordinate amounts of time. If they are under, unrelenting stress for short periods, they can handle it. But long term, then their weak spots in their body come under direct, physical attack. Natural Essences work well for Virgo and the other mutable signs because they are ultra sensitive to even subtle energies and emanations. They don't need to be hit over the head with heavy amounts of drugs, either--about half the adult dose will usually do it for them--but consult your physician first before trying this. Virgo is repelled by the dirt of the world. They are immaculately sanitary in many ways and interestingly enough, like the other mutable signs, are more susceptible to food poisoning.
