Healing Energy by Rita Loyd
The natal chart is an atlas of wellbeing, vitality, authenticity and awareness. Yes, all that! The signs of the zodiac, the planets, Sun and Moon and their interconnections at the time of birth mirror the one being born. Think of it as a symbolic map of your unique energy signature. By looking at the natural expressions and contributions of each zodiac sign and planetary placement, we get a glimpse of our own brand of authenticity — what feels ‘right’ to us. And believe me, if that authenticity of soul doesn’t match our upbringing, parental approval, cultural and social norms, loved one’s expectations etc, we may have repressed or resisted ‘our true Self’. When that happens, the body – mind – spirit alignment get out of balance and we feel ‘dis-ease’.
From this perspective . . . illness is a message that something in life is not right and needs adjusting. -Howard Sasportas, The Twelve Houses
When we listen to our bodies, we are tuning in to a primal guidance. The body is our first contact with ‘reality’ — what’s perceived as ‘out there’ — and it responds with incredible honesty. This is why body language is so telling! It can’t lie. It can, however, respond to what we believe.
If we say we are dead tired, spun out, going to catch the flu, not strong enough, fat . . . retarded (how politically incorrect does our self-talk get?) guess what? The body LISTENS to us and complies. If we say we are fit, strong, perfect shape, vibrant. . . the body LISTENS and complies. Realize that messages go both ways!
The messages from the body are straightforward but the motivations can be complex. The body mirrors what we tell it, what we really believe and what we were conditioned to think. These messages show us what is unconscious, repressed, resisted, not lived out, and what the payoff might be.
Example: We may want a smoking hot body but if we say, ‘I’m fat and unmotivated’, we reinforce ‘fat and unmotivated’. Then again, if we say, ‘I’m looking good!’ things are going to change asap. Suddenly we are looking good (pretty much instantly) and ‘things’ begin to happen. This is where things get interesting. If we wanted the smoking hot bod to feel more confident in our intimate relationships or to attract a new love interest, the mind set of ‘I’m looking good!’ is going to start to attract romantic attention BUT IF underneath that desire for hotness is an unconscious fear of relationship, the body will self-protect and default back to fat and unmotivated. (Unconscious desire trumps conscious desire in this instance).
What to do?
1) Know thy Self (awareness)
2) Listen (awareness)
3) Allow balance of mind-body-spirit by releasing resistance (awareness)
Where do we get this key ingredient of awareness? Meditation, walks in nature, connecting to inner joy and peace, doing what you love, amping up self-love, experiencing compassion all support greater awareness; the astrological chart, as a map of wellbeing, pinpoints it!
Astrologically, ease and dis-ease are related to the signs of the zodiac starting with Aries (the head–headaches) to Pisces (The feet–foot/locomotor problems). Each sign wants to express energy in a healthy way but if we resist, repress or deny that sign, the energy kinks and the body ‘carries’ the message for us to see.
Example: Aries wants to be the boss, and Aries rules the head. If you get headaches, you can look to where Aries is in your chart (what house = what area of life) and start taking more control there. Headaches then disappear because you are tapping into and expressing your own authenticity! The message was read and the energy unkinked.
Think of the body as energy mid-way between the ‘worlds’. On one level we have conscious thoughts (mind) on another we have unconscious thoughts (body) and on yet another we have our higher, universal or source energy (spirit). Astrology can help us get these aspects of Self into alignment for a happy and carefree physical existence. The starting point awareness. Begin by listening to your brave and wonderful vessel today.

Ooh, Kim – great article!!! You know I’m fascinated by mind-body-spirit issues anyway, and I agree 100% with your comments about how the message we send our body create its reality.
Even neuroscience is on board with that idea (at last!!!) – if we’re recovering from injury and we acquire a belief such as “I’m fragile” or “I’m broken” then our brain is likely to respond to this thought virus by giving us a pain experience even after the original injury has healed. Mind-blowing!
But I really LOVE how you tease out what might happen when one new belief (hot body) triggers an old, previously hidden belief (fear of relationship). It would be easy to fall into thinking this ‘layering’ effect makes it all too hard, so why not just stick with the known, comfortable status quo. But it’s actually an extraordinary gift! Imagine if mastering one new belief could reveal (and allow healing of) another one we didn’t even know we had!!! What a fabulous anthropological adventure! Makes me want to put on my pith helmet, grab my journal and go exploring…..
;-)
I’m definitely putting medical astrology into my ‘to be researched further’ basket of goodies. Love love love it, can’t wait for the call!!
I’m delighted you’ll be on the call, Janette! Can’t wait to pick your brain on the whole pain, belief, thought connection! And yes, the flowing of contrasting vibrations and counter intentions is a fascinating one to explore.
See you on the call!

Thank you Kim. As I currently process a need to makes some changes one of them is how I am treating my body.. the mind and body connection. I have been so down spiritually hence causing me to feel useless. SO, with your article it brings it to the forefront to get me moving. I had a co-worker joke around with me the other day about my workout schedule. He is a workout monster and obviously looks good. We chat about nutrition etc so his recent comment is steaming in my mind. It will boil over to get me back into getting some exercise. I have to change the thought process.
It does begin by changing a single thought. You might find that if you activate your 6th house, not necessarily through diet or training routine, but through another 6th house activity – like pets, herb garden, ritual ordering – you might find that motivation and enjoyment of exercise flows from it. It’s like getting the house revved up, if you see what I mean.
Thanks again for the detail you go into in sharing your knowledge Kim, it’s truly generous.
A question if I may – what are your thoughts on application when a sign is split by houses?
E.g, I totally suffer from Gemini things – thank you work stress. My sun in the 10th, but Gemini rules the 11th.
So would you suggest looking to 11th things – to lighten the 10th impacts?
Unless we are using the equal house system or there is an interception, there will be an overlap of each sigh in the houses. With Gemini beginning in the 10th, you move from the Taurean energy to the Gem via 10th house experiences. The cups ruler, in this case the 11th house, has added importance. Your approach to friends, groups, goals for the future and relating ‘one to many’ kicks off with Gemini then blends at some point into Cancer.
See the signs as indicators for authentic expression. If you are getting Gemini ‘symptoms’ you look to both 10 and 11 so see where you may not be in your perfect alignment. If the career isn’t fulfilling (stimulating your curiosity and allowing you to explore knowledge and SHINE in the world in practical, earthy ways) then up come the Ta and Ge messengers. If your relationships to groups, friends, social network is not making you smile, then putting attention there to make things FUN is going to help.
If you can pinpoint which sector is cramping your style, you can make conscious choices there. If you aren’t sure then boosting Gemini actions in both 10th and 11th will free things up. Does that make sense?
Think of each house hosting a mix of energies that want to live out in particular ways. :)
Yes.
Huge thanks as always Kim xxo
Excellent writing, Kim!! I’m in Health Education. When I teach my (college-aged) students, I encourage them to look in the mirror every morning and give themselves affirmations that are important to them – “I am smart.” “I am funny.” “I am worthy.” “I am beautiful.” “I am well-liked.” I deserve the best.” — not just say it, but say it with feeling and belief! They think I’m silly, but it makes me feel good to know a few do try it, and some continue. The same goes for smiling when you feel bad, or smiling at a stranger. It just makes you feel more happy and positive!
Also, your signs of “dis-ease” are spot on for me! I had a lot of ankle sprains as a child and continue to get serious foot cramping as an adult (Pisces sun). I’ve also noticed that when I’m stressed, depressed, or feeling down I get terrible headaches (Aries moon)! It’s so interesting to make the connection!
Thank you so much for this post! I’m going to share it with a friend of mine who could use these reminders. ;-) Have a wonderful day!
Julia
Julia, I’m delighted the post had meaning and YOU! How excellent that you give your students the ‘worthy magic’ exercise in the mirror. It is extremely powerful and lift changing!
To take the ‘symptoms’ to the next level of awareness, when you get a headache, look to the placement of Aries in your chart. What house is activated? (what house is your Aries Moon in?) That is the area of life where you need to be the boss, assert your independence and call the shots. The headache (on this symbolic level) is a message to amp up your action and adventure there.
Thanks for dropping by!
