“Gemini is the zodiac sign that rules the shoulders, arms, and hands, as well as the nervous system,” says Gerber. “The high-energy sign thrives on communication but can develop problems in these areas, as well as colds, as a result of the ‘too much of a good thing’ syndrome. Those who spend a lot of time on electronic devices are prone to repetitive strain injuries, like carpal tunnel.” Yikes!

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

According to Suzanne, “Scorpio rules the reproductive and elimination organs. As an intense water sign that can dwell on the dark side of life, their moods can bring on or exacerbate conditions that have to do with menstrual cycles, bathroom issues, hormones, and diabetes.” Gerber suggests Scorpios with these issues should deal directly and candidly with negative emotions.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

“This zodiac sign is the half-human, half-horse Archer,” relates Gerber. “This sign rules the hips, thighs, and vision. It’s a rash and expansive sign, and can be accident-prone. They also need to watch over-consumption of alcohol and other things they know aren’t so good for them. Problems with the hips, sciatic nerve, and eyes are notable.” Sagittarius may be tons of fun, but they’re most likely to have klutz-alert horoscope listings.
