Dear Breathing

Yes, the asthma shows up in your chart, quite dramatically, but no, this does not mean you’re cursed. I’d know because I have similar challenge in my chart and sure enough, have struggled with asthma in the past.

Mercury rules the lungs. It also rules the mind… and communication. You have Mercury in a nasty aspect to angry Mars and restrictive Saturn. Can you see how this fits? Asthma is violent, yes? And you can’t breathe, so how’s that for restriction? So this is sitting in your chart like an event waiting to happen and then along comes a transit and BAM! It comes out to live.

Now this doesn’t mean you’re doomed. But I’m not sure diet is going to help. What you have, is repressed, unexpressed anger and what you need is an outlet for this energy. Basically you need to communicate your anger even though you’re scared. Otherwise it’s going to turn in on you, which is what you have right now. Say it, write it, scream it. But do something to get it out.

Exercise is also good. TRAINING is more like it. See, Saturn and Mars and Mercury will be very happy with a regimen of scheduled exertion… aka - GO WORK OUT. Slowly at first. You can think of it this way. Do you want to work to get a breath, or breathe while you work out?

You get the idea. Find an alternative channel for this energy, I bet you see your symptoms ease.

Good luck!
