We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond entertainment, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

You can also read dozens additional lifestyle articles on different topics.

You may sometimes replace it with eggs, since proteins are important for your muscles.

Quickly prepared raw vegetables are appealing to you because of their vitamins supply. A good trick is to add thyme and ginseng in your dishes in order to struggle against your weak point, i.e. inflammatory diseases.

And for the sake of perfection, you can try to eat the famous ten fruits and vegetables per day.

At times, you even forget to eat, or you eat anything. If you are struck by the idea to go on a diet, you choose outright the most exacting or the weirdest ones. Of course, you belong to the type of persons who can lose weight in record time, just to shut people up. But once again, be careful not to go too far.

The only idea of it makes you run away at top speed!

However, you happen to experience bouts of awareness, and then you decide to restrain yourself, with the view to avoiding, some day, too drastic measures in order to get rid of your skin folds. Why wouldn't you take the best of what the gastronomy of various countries has to offer, since you are a big traveller, curious about everything? Sushis and algae from Japan, raita from India, Yassa chicken from Senegal. You can have a real treat if you adapt them at home with a dash of astuteness.

You seem to be instinctively training for a marathon, and you are attracted to healthy food, even though it's neither bright nor colourful. Therefore, your health is a wonderful asset, indeed!

On the other hand, you may be prone to some sort of bone fragility, which can be alleviated with proper eating habits.

To begin with, have enough dairy products, as well as phosphor and calcium. Since you avoid sunrays, you must be careful of vitamin D deficiency, which may be harmful in the long run.

What a mistake! Your body sometimes calls you to order and demands your attention. Take advantage of it, and experience nutrition and diets as if they were a new game. Your reknown aloofness may prove beneficial and may enable you to consider your own body as a field of experimentation. Having said this, it is necessary to underline that you must not follow spuriously efficient diets, and that you ought to listen to your scientific good sense.

Venous circulation is important for Aquarius. Don't hesitate to add ginger, spices and herbs. Detox plans are meant for you!
