Tomatoes are useful at times when we are over-heated and overly concerned. They can calm us down and let us see a situation in a more objective manner. This information makes you want to run to the grocery and buy some tomatoes, doesn’t it? ;-)

• Pear: Pears are wonderful, beautiful, and juicy fruits. Sometimes colorful and always with a joyous twist, the pear is said to even have the ability to alleviate mild depression. Kind of makes sense if you think about it.

I know I feel happier when yummy juices are flowing down my chin. ;-)

• Pumpkin: The Pumpkin is another beautiful creation ruled by the Cancer sign of the zodiac. The pumpkin is connected to the Cancer sign because of its close association with Halloween.

As most of us know, Halloween is a holiday when we dress up as someone else – person, creature, or any other creation – and feel freer to express our inner selves.

Cancer is a sign that happens to rule the emotional nature of an individual. So the pumpkin, with its Cancer sign rulership, allows us to look at the darker, more difficult emotions running through our veins, and gives us the opportunity to accept, transform, and release them.

• Herbs and spices include rosehips, ginger, sea salt, and nettle.

Unfortunately, all I can offer you here are little tidbits of information. The reason being is that if we were to delve deeper into this subject, we could discuss it till eternity.

However, if you're REALLY INTERESTED in learning more about the healing and empowering relationship between certain foods and your own zodiac soul sign, I strongly suggest that you take a look at Jonathan Keyes's book, "Guide to Natural Health -- Using the Horoscope as a Key to Ancient Healing Practices "

Most of the information on this page comes from Jonathan’s book, so if you found it interesting, you should find his book quite useful as well. Use it to jump start your journey toward spiritual and physical well-being.
