Both Chinese Astrology and Chinese Medicine are both based on the Five Elements. These Five Elements rule the five zang and fu organs along with the twelve energy meridians, which stand for different physical and emotional disturbances in your body.  Being in touch with your Self helps you pinpoint the critical aspects of your health and introduce ways to try and balance any disturbances.

In Chinese medicine, the Liver stores our blood, regulates our energy levels and supports the nails, eyes, and ligaments. When the Live Qi (energy) stagnates, it can give the impression of a tight chest, unhappiness, crying, menstruation or other hormonal issues and even depression. On the other side of the coin, when the Liver Qi is ...
