Zodiac signs and astrology enjoy great popularity in the western world. The twelve signs of the zodiac are said to have special characteristics and qualities. Perhaps you have found yourself saying about a person: "Typical Leo, always so quick-tempered" or "I'm a real Cancer and very sensitive".
Ayurvedic teachings also link the zodiac signs with the doshas and their elements.
In European Ayurveda we believe that the energies of the universe are all interconnected. And thus the signs of the zodiac are also influenced by the three bio-energies and their characteristics. In India, the homeland of Ayurvedic teachings, astrology is still very important today. High festivals, such as weddings, are calculated according to the astrological constellation of the zodiac signs. In this way, events are supposed to be under a good star. Today we dedicate ourselves to the zodiac signs of spring: Aries, Taurus and Gemini. Perhaps you too will discover one or the other characteristic in yourself.
Aries (21 March - 20 April)
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac in spring and begins the annual cycle of the zodiac. Aries people are said to have leadership qualities, a sense of responsibility and passion. They supposedly like to go headlong for their goals. The Aries is also said to react impulsively sometimes when something does not suit them.
European Ayurveda connoisseurs will notice that the Pitta dosha is heavily involved here. The fire dosha stands for heat, sharpness and moisture. This also has an effect on the zodiac sign: Aries people are said to have a certain hypersensitivity. Too much pitta contributes to quick irritability and inner dissatisfaction. In European Ayurveda we believe that Pitta disturbances can especially cause inflammation, fever and skin problems.
Accordingly, everything that balances Pitta and has a positive effect on body, mind and soul is good for you: cooling foods such as salads and fruits lower the fire dosha. The best way to balance an overheated mind is through yoga, meditation and regular breaks. A reset cure is therefore perfect for the Aries among you. You shut down, regenerate body, mind and soul and start with coolness into a positive future.
Taurus (21 April - 20 May)
According to the zodiac sign's characteristics, nothing can shake a Taurus. Relaxed and balanced, Taurus people are usually aware of their qualities. They approach things with plan and strategy. However, if a Taurus gets irritated, he can quickly become quick-tempered. However, a lack of harmony or quarrels are very hard on these people. Mood swings and melancholy can be the result. Then it takes time to get the Taurus moving again.
We notice that Kapha, as bioenergy, holds the reins here. The dosha of stability and firmness normally helps you to stay balanced inside. Too much kapha, on the other hand, makes stability sluggishness. Melancholic thoughts, disturbed digestion and a tendency to obesity can be the result. Since the elements earth and water predominate here, respiratory diseases cannot be ruled out.
If you want to do something good for yourself as a Taurus person, we recommend a detox cure. You purify your body, get rid of old ballast and strengthen your immune system.
Gemini (21 May - 20 June)
Communicative, creative, agile and preferably everywhere - Gemini people really blossom in company. Empathic and social, they always try to be there for everyone. Like their constellation, however, they should also have a second face: restless, impatient, flighty and often caught up in many thoughts, they are prone to stress. They do not like to commit themselves and therefore often seem unreliable.
In European Ayurveda we associate the Vata dosha with this zodiac sign. The element air dominates and the bioenergy has a strong effect on people born under this constellation. According to European Ayurveda, too much Vata manifests itself with inner restlessness, stress and a disturbed metabolism. That is why a Panchakarma cure is a real blessing for Gemini. The bioenergies are balanced and the mental carousel is shut down. Through the Ayurvedic treatments and the European Ayurvedic diet, the metabolism is stimulated - because this is where twins can be susceptible.
