Sagittarius is sporting (Mars in kinship) and one of the healthiest signs of the Zodiac (the Sun in kinship); he has a strong constitution and a wiry, enduring body. The weak points – are the circulatory and nervous systems; lung complaints are possible because of his great activity, and the condition of the blood should be watched. A particular threat of this position of the Sun is the danger of accidents, wounds and injuries from falls and while playing sport. The thighs and hip joints are vulnerable (the rule of Jupiter), and there is a tendency to rheumatism, gout and feverish complaints. The health of Sagittarius depends largely on his mood: an optimistic Sagittarius has nothing to fear from colds. Trips abroad with entertainment help him gain positive emotions. Drinking, however, should be kept down, since the liver of Sagittarius is vulnerable. Keeping to a diet is hard for Sagittarius (Saturn in enmity), and besides, he does not like listening to anyone's advice, including advice about his health. He should spend more time in the fresh air to strengthen the organs of breathing (Mercury in exile) and smoke less. Some Sagittarians may be inclined not only to drink but to take drugs (the rule of Neptune). This inclination must be damped down by turning the attention of Sagittarius towards art, sea bathing and sport, though stopping a Sagittarius who has been carried away, or making him listen to the arguments of reason, can be difficult. As a rule they do not want to be treated. The plants of Sagittarius – are burdock, periwinkle, bellflower, flax, cornflower, belladonna, lavender, milk thistle, elecampane, cotton thistle, chicory, oak, birch, pine, eucalyptus, palm, cypress. They are used to treat the liver, the blood vessels and the blood.
