MEET THE PLANETS

Meet the Sun (Leo, Fire) --bold, heat-loving spark of your digestive personality. If it sits strong and well-placed, you’ll often  notice a hearty appetite and a natural pull toward hot, cooked, spicy, chili-kissed meals. Slide it into a trickier spot (or simply ignore  what it’s asking for), and that same fire can turn on you with acidity, heartburn, or inflammation just like a partner who feels unheard. Even a strong Sun needs respect; abuse the diet and lifestyle and the brightest fire starts to sputter. Spot these patterns and you’ll know why your tummy talks the way it does and why a digestive chart might be the friendliest next step.

Meet Mercury (Gemin/Virgo,Ether-Air)  

Meet Mercury (Gemini / Virgo, Air)-- the quick, chatty, nervous spark of your digestive personality. If it sits strong and well-placed, you’ll often notice fast eating, a love of light or varied foods, and a tendency to talk while you eat or treat meals like interesting conversations. Slide it into a trickier spot (or simply ignore hunger pains or what it’s asking for), and that same quick energy can show up as a nervous stomach, gas, stress-related indigestion, shakiness, or the classic “monkey mind” that messes with your appetite, just like a partner who feels overwhelmed by your energy and starts buzzing with anxiety. Even a strong Mercury needs calm; eating while distracted, overthinking, or too many cold, dry, processed foods or icy-cold drinks can quickly scatter its signals. Spot these patterns and you’ll know why your tummy talks the way it does. Sound familiar?

Meet Mars (Aries / Scorpio / Fire) the fiery, action-driven spark of your digestive personality. If it sits strong and well-placed, you’ll often notice a strong, sometimes aggressive appetite and a natural pull toward meat, spicy, hot, or boldly flavored foods that match its warrior energy. Slide it into a trickier spot (or simply ignore what it’s asking for), and that same heat can turn into acidity, ulcers, inflammatory IBS, or hemorrhoids just like a partner whose fire gets ignored and explodes. Even a strong

 Mars needs respect; too many spicy or fried foods, high anger, 

or constant stress can quickly push it into overdrive. Spot these patterns and you’ll know why your tummy talks the way it does… Feel the heat?

Meet Saturn (Capricorn/ Aquarius, Air) the dry, slow, disciplined side of digestion. It rules bones, long-term health, and stability, and as the karmic planet it often brings up old habits that need clearing--especially the ones that have been sitting around far too long (yes, we’re talking constipation).

Well placed, it favors simple or traditional foods, steady meal times, and familiar favorites. When under pressure or ignored, that same energy can show up as dryness, gas, dehydration, joint stiffness, or digestive complaints that feel stubborn — like a teacher who keeps assigning the same lesson until it’s finally learned. This nature responds best to warm, cooked, well-spiced foods (soups, stews, stews again) and rewards slow, steady improvements. Ever dined with someone who’s still on their first course while you’re done? That’s classic Saturn digestion; it moves like Sunday traffic, and honking only makes it slower. If this strict, slow, sensitive pattern feels familiar, the lesson may already be knocking.
