Aquarius Health ~ Recommended Vitamins, Herbs, and Other Dietary Considerations (2719 hits)

Aquarius, the Water Bearer, is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac. Souls born from January 21 to February 20th are born under the Western Zodiac sign of Aquarius.

Aquarius is a "Fixed" sign. In the language of astrology this means Aquarians preserve and sustain what was started in the Cardinal phase of the Zodiac. Fixed is one of three different modalities with the others being Cardinal and Mutable. The Fixed signs include Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of awakening, change and surprise. Aquarius is also a polarity sign, which mean Aquarians are assertive, bold, and expressive. All polarity signs are this way.

Aquarius element or quadruplicity is "Air" meaning Aquarians are very mental, intellectual, intelligent, and logical just like the other Air signs of Gemini and Libra.
Air signs are typically communicative, social, friendly, gregarious, curious, inquisitive, objective, tolerant, and unbiased.

Aquarius’ statement is “I Know!” Aquarians are intrigued by knowledge including esoteric and metaphysical knowledge which makes them seekers of the occult and New Age philosophy. Aquarians love to learn so as to know. This is one of their greatest attributes!

Aquarians are honest and forthright; has high self standards, very reliable; tolerant, kind and considerate; helpful and always willing to help another person; is individualistic, solitude-seeking and withdrawn; independent, recalcitrant (in a civil fashion); freedom-loving and seeking; community-minded, service-oriented, giving, impartial, and gets along great with other people. Makes a very good and trusting friend! Aquarius has a lot of friends, which may be viewed by some as being oxymoronic as they love to be by themselves most of the time. They make excellent humanitarians and love to be involved in social change (activism) for the good of society.  


Aquarius corresponds to the 11th House of the Zodiac known as the Friends House and the traits of this house include social change, hopes and wishes, pursuit of knowledge (including the occult and metaphysics), social awareness, group dynamics, ideals to live by, self-employment, humanitarian concerns, technology, liberation, and defiance against authority figures.

Famous Sun sign Aquarians include: Alicia Keys, Bobby Brown (ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston), Oprah Winfrey, Roberta Flack, Michael Jordan, Bob Marley, Abraham Lincoln, Alice Walker, Langston Hughes, Rosa Parks, Natalie Cole, Hank Aaron, Sam Cooke, Angela Davis, Toni Morrison, Jackie Robinson, Susan B. Anthony, Etta James, Rick James, Phil Collins, Charles Darwin, Brandy (R&B singer), Chris Rock (comedian), Gary Coleman, Thomas Edison, Arsenio Hall, Gregory Hines, Marian Anderson, and Frederick Douglass.

In medical astrology, Aquarius rules the ankles, calves and circulatory system and thus they can suffer from edema (swollen ankles) and gout as well as many types of circulatory issues. Aquarians are very prone to ankle and lower leg injuries mainly, however, Aquarius are prone to other pathologies that include the following: anemia, nervous sensitivity, muscle spasms (including charlie horse), blood poisoning, varicose veins, weak heart, rheumatoid arthritis, intolerance to cold weather, fatigue, low blood pressure, bipolar disorder, and computer/internet addiction.


Dietary Considerations

The 12 Cell Salts necessary for optimal health and wellbeing correlate and correspond to the 12 Zodiac signs and thus Aquarius too like all other eleven signs has been assigned a specific and particular cell salt. The necessary cell salt of Aquarius is Sodium Chloride. Because this cell salt may be difficult to find, supplement it with sea salt (1/4 teaspoon in a glass of room temperature water every morning).


Not only will they find these foods tasty, they'll benefit from the healing properties. All other signs dealing with these problems can seek relief by utilizing these foods, too.

 

1. Anchovies
Anchovies are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are abundant in vegetables and readily available -- so much so that many individuals overindulge, which can cause inflammation. A healthy dose of omega-3s balance the intake and effects of omega-6. This will help prevent edema and gout. So Aquarians should order that pizza with anchovies included.

3. Hearts of palm
Hearts of palm are the inner portions of cabbage palm tree stems. About four inches long, they resemble asparagus without the tip. They can be up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Hearts of palm can be served in several ways, but are often used in salads. They are out of the range of ordinary fixings, though, which adds to the appeal for Aquarius.

 

4. Rice
Rice is one of the seven sacred grains. It is a staple for hundreds of million people across the planet. In Japanese mythology, it is said to be a food of the heavens, brought to earth by the favorite daughter of the highest God. It's a universally-used food, which resonates with an Aquarian's universal thinking. It seems appropriate that rice, grown in water, is specifically found of the food list of the Water Bearer.

 

5. Pineapple
After the banana, pineapple is the second most popular tropical fruit. When first discovered, pineapples were coveted and viewed as a symbol of social standing. This was due to the rarity of the fruit anywhere other than the tropics. The fruit would spoil during the long ocean voyage, so even the display as an inedible table decoration was envied. High in manganese, vitamin C and bromelain, these sweet treats act as an anti-inflammatory and digestive aid.

 

6. Tuna
Tuna has long been a food staple, in fresh form on the seacoasts and dried or pickled inland. It is very high in omega-3 fatty acid, B vitamins and one serving contains more than 100% of the daily tryptophan requirement. Tuna has antidepressant qualities and is said to prevent Alzheimers and other age-related memory disorders. This attribute may relate to the emotional detachment and excellent memory of Aquarians. Tuna should be a dietary addition to all signs suffering from aging and forgetfulness.

 

7. Vanilla

Vanilla comes from a plant in the orchid family. The Aztecs believed that a Goddess fell in love with a mortal and changed herself into the vanilla orchid to bring beauty to earth. Unlike most beautiful flowers, the vanilla orchid has no scent -- all the fragrance comes from the bean. It was thought at one time that carrying a vanilla bean would raise a person's consciousness to a higher level, making it the perfect flavor for a high-minded Aquarian.

Herbs for Aquarius include: Anise, bittersweet, citron, dandelion, lemon verbena, rosemary, sage. Vitamins include B complex, Calcium and magnesium.
