Taurus’s Erogenous Zone
The throat and neck is Taurus’s sensitive area, and light touching, kissing, and fondling of this zone will quickly raise a Taurean’s sexual temperature. When fixing Taurus man’s tie, lightly glide your fingernails over his throat. Brush the back of Taurus woman’s neck in an affectionate gesture. Both men and women enjoy kisses and gentle bites on the back of the neck and the throat.
Here is a massage technique that will surely please: 1) While Taurus lies on his or her back, gently vibrate the area under the earlobes with your fingertips, using little circular motions. Trace a path down to the collarbone. Repeat until entire front of neck has been massaged. (Be very gentle around the windpipe.) 2) Taurus likes to lie on his or her stomach while you trace vertical paths from the hairline to the top of the spine, using your fingertips to vibrate the flesh and muscles.
This technique will thoroughly relax Taurus and make him or her very receptive to lovemaking.
GEMINI
Part of the Body Ruled by Gemini
The sign of Gemini rules the shoulders, arms, hands, and lungs. Natives of this sign are noted for their graceful arms and beautifully shaped hands. They are dexterous and well coordinated and often excel at sports and dancing. Geminis are often called jacks-of-all-trades, and are happiest when involved with many projects and a wide range of people. Gemini persons seem to look young longer.
Unfortunately, Geminis are vulnerable to upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, and asthma. In times of stress they may have difficulty breathing and suffer from either hyperventilation or an inability to draw in enough oxygen. They are apt to get sprains and fractures, particularly in the bones in their shoulders, arms, and hands. They are also afflicted by bumps, cuts, scratches, and bruises.
Gemini rules the nerves, so natives of this sign are often excitable and high-strung. They vacillate between despondency and euphoria, and seem to run on their nerves. The planet Mercury, which rules Gemini, has always been associated with respiration, the brain, and the entire nervous system. It also governs the delicate links between the mind and the different parts of the body, so with Gemini people the state of mind has a great deal to do with the state of their health. Anxiety and nervousness literally can make them sick.
Diet and Health Tips for Gemini
For Geminis, relaxation is not just something that’s nice if they can get it. It is essential to their well-being. Because they expend so much nervous energy, they should take time to unwind, relax, and soothe their jangled nerves. Coffee and stimulants make matters worse and should be avoided. Herbal teas have a calming effect.
Gemini people are inclined to eat on the run and are notorious junk-food addicts. To keep up their energy and high spirits, they must have a proper diet. Many Geminis can’t tolerate large amounts of food at one time; eating four mini-meals a day can be beneficial.
The cell salt for Gemini is potassium chloride, which builds fibrin in the blood, organs, and tissues of the body. A deficiency of this mineral leads to clots in the blood and circulatory problems. Potassium chloride also keeps the lungs and bronchial tubes unclogged. Foods high in this mineral are asparagus, green beans, tomatoes, celery, carrots, spinach, oranges, peaches, plums, apricots, and wild rice. Healthy nerve foods for Gemini include grapefruit, almonds, broiled fish and shellfish, grape juice, apples, and raisins. Lettuce and cauliflower help to combat bronchitis. Geminis need calcium to keep their bones healthy; milk, buttermilk, and cottage cheese are excellent sources.
Gemini people should protect their chests in cold, inclement weather, and never smoke tobacco. Not only is tobacco smoking detrimental to the lungs, it causes circulatory problems in the arms and hands. Geminis should practice deep-breathing or yoga exercises to help them relax and breathe easier, and should play tennis and Ping-Pong to strengthen their arms.
Gemini’s Erogenous Zone
Gemini’s sensitive arms and hands are very receptive to erotic stimuli. Light kisses, touches, and fingertip brushes of this area will send shivers of delight down a Gemini’s spine. Gemini women are fond of handkissers. Gemini men respond to light stroking of their hands, especially the palms and inside of the fingers. As a prelude to love-making, try lightly kissing the inside of your Gemini’s arms, starting with his or her fingertips and moving up to the armpits.
A massage technique that natives of this sign find especially stimulating is to grip Gemini’s wrist gently with both hands. Using light but firm pressure, turn one hand in one direction and the other in the opposite direction in a gentle wringing motion. Do this all the way up Gemini’s arm and back again. Another way to relax Gemini is to travel the path of his or her inner arm, from the palm to the armpit, vibrating the flesh and muscles by using a circular motion on the skin with your fingertips.
CANCER
Part of the Body Ruled by Cancer
Cancer rules the breasts and the stomach. This part of the anatomy has always symbolized nourishment and motherhood, and Cancer natives are characterized as protective and clinging. Cancer women often have beautiful bosoms, with soft creamy skin and a curving decolletage. Men of this sign have well-shaped chests and flat stomachs. All of this changes as Cancerians grow older, for they are susceptible to gaining weight in later years. They find it very difficult to lose excess weight.
Tension, anxiety, and emotional stress are the leading causes of illness among Cancerians. They have delicate stomachs and digestive problems and are prone to ulcers, gallbladder upsets, gas pains, nausea, and gastritis. Their health is not robust, particularly in childhood, and many suffer from upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis. Born under a water sign, Cancerians will overindulge in wine and alcohol, which they do not tolerate well. Drinking alcohol aggravates their stomach problems, increases weight, and causes fluid retention in body tissues.
The Moon, Cancer’s ruler, has dominion over the breasts and the alimentary canal, heightening the susceptibility of Cancerians in these areas.
Diet and Health Tips for Cancer
Food means security to Cancer people, and they turn to pies, cakes, ice cream, and candy to make themselves feel better when they are low in spirit. This is a self-accelerating spiral, for excess sweets make their stomachs worse. Cancerians need to watch their diets very carefully in order to keep their digestive systems healthy and their weight under control.
Cancer’s cell salt is calcium fluoride, which unites with albumen and oil in the body’s system to keep elastic and connective tissues healthy. It is also an important ingredient in tooth enamel, fingernails, bones, and the lens of the eye. Deficiency of this mineral can cause varicose veins, receding gums, curvature of the spine, eye problems, and cataracts. Food sources for calcium fluoride are egg yolks, whole-grain rye, yogurt, beets, watercress, fish, and oysters. Cancerians are prone to skin disorders when there is a lack of calcium in their diet. They should consume milk, cheese, kale, lettuce, and tomatoes, which are high in calcium. Okra, which also contains calcium, is an aid in reducing stomach inflammations. Fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and lean protein are a daily must for the Cancerian. Starches, sugar, and salt should be avoided. The first two cause constipation, and salt produces bloat. Cancer people should stay away from spicy, highly seasoned food and should forgo hot pepper sauce and horseradish.
Cancerians should always have meals in pleasant surroundings—no bickering or heated discussions at the dinner table. Taking a walk after a meal aids digestion and serenity of mind. Walking in warm rain (under an umbrella) or by the seashore is excellent, for the moist air soothes the lungs.
If Cancerians get sick, they recuperate faster in their own beds at home.
Cancer’s Erogenous Zone
Breasts are an erogenous zone for most people, but this is especially true for Cancerians. Both men and women born under this sign respond quickly to oral and manual manipulation of the nipples. Soft caresses, gentle bites, and kisses on this area heighten Cancer’s sensuality. Run your hands over the hairs
on Cancer man’s chest, just barely touching them, and you will ignite his passions. A Cancer woman derives pleasure from having her breasts touched and kissed by a lover.
To massage the breast and chest area erotically, begin by placing two fingers on Cancer’s clavicle (the bone that juts out at the bottom of the neck). Using featherlight pressure, gently vibrate the flesh of each breast. Then stroke each nipple with the tip of one finger. Using your finger pad, gently stroke the pink area around the nipple (the areola). Finally, stroke each breast with your fingernails, just barely making contact with the flesh.
This massage technique will create urgent sensations of sexual desire in any Cancer woman or man.
LEO
Part of the Body Ruled by Leo
The sign of Leo rules the spine, the back, and the heart. The heart is associated with warm emotions, the back with courage. Leo people display these qualities. They are open personalities who give wholeheartedly of themselves to others and live life to the fullest. Leos have robust constitutions, supple spines, and good coordination. They are usually excellent dancers and athletes.
Leos have a great need to excel in what they do, and often push themselves so hard that they suffer strain from overexertion and nerves. Their upper back tires more easily than other parts of their bodies. They are also subject to pains and pressure around the heart. When startled a Leo’s heart will seem to jump into his or her throat. They can usually feel their pulses beat inside their heads. Heart problems may crop up later in life; however, Leos are noted for their longevity.
Leo’s ruler, the Sun, has always been associated with the heart, back, and spinal column. It also influences the spleen and the entire body’s vitality. In more recent times, astrologers have come to believe that it rules the thymus, an endocrine gland that secretes hormones necessary for growth during the early years of childhood. Scientific studies connect the thymus with the immunization of the body against bacteria.
Thus, the sign of Leo is characterized by growth, vitality, and good health. Leo people are not inclined to be sickly, and when they are ill they bounce back very quickly. As a rule, Leos live healthy lives. However, they must learn to slow down in later years to avoid the risk of heart attack.
Diet and Health Tips for Leo
Leo people enjoy the good life, and eating well is part of this. They like rich food and fine wine. Fortunately young Leos have strong stomachs and good circulation, and keep in shape because they are active. However, time does catch up with them, and Leos must learn to eat correctly and cut down on fatty foods.
Leo’s cell salt is magnesium phosphate, which keeps the motor nerves in top functioning order and is also necessary to the formation of the skeletal structure. It forms blood albumen, maintains the fluidity of the blood, and activates the digestive enzymes. Foods that contain this element so important to Leos are whole wheat and rye products, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, figs, lemons, apples, peaches, coconut, rice, seafood, beets, asparagus, romaine, and egg yolk. Foods that aid the circulation and have blood-making properties include beef, lamb, poultry, liver, fresh fruit, salad greens, cheese, whole milk, and yogurt. Foods rich in iron, such as spinach, raisins, and dates, are recommended for Leo. Plums, pears, and oranges reduce heart strain.
Leo people should take care of their backs by doing simple strengthening exercises. They must learn how to bend and lift, and never lift anything too heavy. They benefit from developing good posture, getting enough rest and relaxation, and enjoying short periods of sunbathing.
Leos usually have thick shining hair, somewhat like manes. If they keep it clean, healthy, and conditioned, it should last them a lifetime.
Leo’s Erogenous Zone
Sweeping caresses over the back and spine sexually stimulate and excite Leo. An easy and enjoyable preliminary is to sponge Leo’s back in the bath with a loofah sponge. Work gently down along the spine, pausing in the small of the back, then circle out to the sides and the ribs. Sponge until Leo’s skin is rosy. In the bedroom, while Leo lies on his or her stomach, shake talcum powder over the back (still tingling from the bath). Using your hands or a soft bristle brush, smooth the powder into the skin, paying particular attention to the spine and small of the back. Your Leo will be more than ready for love.
There are as many different kinds of back massages as there are masseurs, for this is an area in which tensions seem to gather. This technique will relax and soothe a Leo: Place the heels of your hands on Leo’s upper back with your thumbs resting directly over the spine. Using a circular vibrating motion, describe six-inch circles with the heels of your hands. Trace a path from the shoulder blades down to the small of the back. Return. Repeat until the entire back has been massaged.
If you find this relaxes Leo so much that he or she falls asleep, erotically stimulate the back. Lightly draw long lines from shoulder to buttocks with your fingertip or fingernail just barely touching flesh. Stroke down into the cleft between the buttocks. Leo will wake up fast.
VIRGO
Part of the Body Ruled by Virgo
The sign of Virgo rules the nervous system and the intestines. The intestines assimilate food into the body. By the same token, Virgoans assimilate knowledge and turn it into practical use. They have delicate and finely tuned nervous systems, which makes them intuitive and discriminating.
As with Cancer, nervous tension, anxiety, and emotional stress are Virgo’s worst enemies. People of this sign can literally worry themselves sick. When things go wrong they have a tendency to turn the trouble in onto themselves, and the problem is instantly reflected in a physical ailment, usually intestinal.
Virgoans have fussy digestive systems, and suffer from indigestion, gas pains, ulcers, liver upsets, colitis, and bowel problems. In addition, they are often troubled by skin eruptions, again due to nerves. Virgoans worry about their health; they tend to be hypochondriacs.
Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury has dominion over the brain and the nervous system. It also controls the links between the mind and the functions of the body. This intensifies Virgo’s proclivity for turning mental tension and upsets into illness of the body.
Diet and Health Tips for Virgo
Virgoans have to coddle their sensitive digestive systems. A proper diet is essential to good health and to keeping up energy. In addition, food should not be highly seasoned, spicy, laden with sauces or gravies, or fried.
Virgo’s cell salt is potassium sulphate, which regulates oil in the body, carries oxygen to cells, and is essential to muscle contraction. This mineral keeps the skin pores un-clogged and ventilated. Lack of potassium sulphate in the diet causes dandruff, hair loss, eczema, acne, and dry, flaky skin and hair. A deficiency also leads to extreme fatigue and constipation. Foods high in this mineral that Virgoans need are green leafy vegetables (endive, chicory, romaine), whole wheat and whole-grain breads, wheat germ oil, oats, almonds, cheese, oranges, bananas, lemons, lean beef, and lamb. Healthy foods that are easy to digest are corn bread, yogurt, brown rice, eggs, and cottage cheese. Melons, apples, pears, and papaya are particularly good for Virgoans, and lemon juice in the diet will ease skin eruptions and dandruff. Honey should be used as a sweetener instead of sugar. Herb teas soothe upset stomachs. Virgoans love chocolate, which unfortunately does not love them; it causes upsets of the skin and digestive system. They do not tolerate drugs well, and medicine should be taken only under a doctor’s supervision.
Sunshine (in moderate amounts), mild exercise, and periods of relaxation are important for Virgo. It’s hard not to worry when one is a worrier, but it helps to get away from it all and think about something else.
Virgo’s Erogenous Zone
As a prelude to love, a playful tête-à-tête in the bath is just the thing to please Virgo. One reason: Virgo is very attracted to cleanliness. While in the bath, gently lave Virgo’s stomach area with a sponge, soap, and warm water. For Virgoans, the entire stomach area is responsive to erotic touching, kissing, and stroking. They also enjoy t
he feeling of a spray of warm water over this area. A handheld shower nozzle will do the trick nicely.
In bed it is very easy to arouse Virgo sexually with this massage: 1) Begin by slowly and gently stroking the abdomen, starting just under the chest and going down to the top of the legs. Use your fingertips and cover the entire area. 2) Using a featherlight touch, stroke long lines from the navel to the genitals with your fingertip. Do the same thing using just fingernails and scarcely touching flesh. 3) Moving in a large circle, stroke the stomach area with your fingertips, describing smaller and smaller circles until you are at the rim of the navel.
By this time Virgo is your slave.
LIBRA
Part of the Body Ruled by Libra
The sign of Libra rules the kidneys, lumbar region (which includes the lower spine and back), and the buttocks. Libra women tend to have graceful lower spines and curvaceous buttocks, and Libra men have well-shaped, muscular backs. As a rule, natives of this sign enjoy good health, although sometimes in adolescence it is delicate and then balances out in adulthood.
Venus, the planet that rules Libra, holds sway over skin, hair, and veins, as well as the throat, kidneys, and lumbar region. Librans are known for their fine (though sensitive) skin, pleasing features, and good bone structure. When called upon, their energy level can keep up with the best, although they are usually slow starters in the morning.
Librans are prone toward weakness in the lower back, and this is the first place in the body to suffer when Librans overexert themselves. They also are predisposed toward kidney ailments and skin breakouts. In winter they may be afflicted with cold hands and feet because of poor circulation.
In many ways, their health is influenced by their surroundings and relationships. Any disturbance, dissension, or disagreement makes Librans wretchedly unhappy and undermines their ability to work or function.
