Capricorn’s Cell Salt – Calcium Phosphate.    Foods that supply calcium phosphate are: cabbage, asparagus, spinach, lentils, brown beans, celery, almonds, cucumbers, barley, egg yolk, lean meats, whole wheat, strawberries, figs, blueberries, and plums; carrots; peanuts; milk; beets; beans; cheese; avocados

Your Cell Salt utilizes albumen from the food to help build up and maintain the body’s bony structure. When there is a deficiency of this cell salt, albumen is not retained and used, but passes out of the body through the kidneys. Among the disorders resulting from such a loss are kidney troubles, rheumatism and acid indigestion. The unused albumen may also cause skin eruptions and boils. If it accumulates in the ear, it can eventuate in deafness.

 Capricorn does not readily give in to illness and, if you exercise normal prudence about health matters, you will probably live to an active and healthy old age. Yours is a sign of longevity.

 When illness does strike, it tends to become chronic. Capricorn tends to brood over his/her ailments (as well as many other things) and to hold on to them, often becoming hypochondriacs. Their belief that their condition is hopeless becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 Your principal health problems are likely to be impeded and irregular function of organs ruled by Capricorn and Saturn [ruler of Capricorn]. Circulation of the blood through the tissues may become sluggish, elimination may be restricted, so that toxins and waste matter build up in the body, and there may be a tendency toward reflex action to the stomach. The formation of calcium deposits in the bursa [is a tendency of Capricorn. “A bursa is found where there is movement of a joint causing two tissues to rub against each other.  For example, behind the elbow or in front of the knee, there is a bursa to allow the skin to move without rubbing against the bone.  These movements should be smooth and effortless.” http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/sportsmedicine/a/blbursitis.htm]

 Rheumatism, arthritis, and neuralgia are also disorders which fall under [Capricorn]. Capricorn also directly influences the function of the gall bladder … challenging aspects to your Capricorn Sun [or, I suspect, Capricorn Ascendant] can cause an insufficient flow of bile. If Saturn is located in Capricorn in your natal chart, this condition is extremely likely. The late Dr. William Davidson reported that much epithelioma and skin cancer have their roots in this often-overlooked tendency.

Capricorn tends to be somewhat aloof, consciously or unconsciously imposing a barrier between themselves and others. Even when your work brings you in close contact with others, you will retain within yourself a secret place of solitude into which the most intimate acquaintance or loved one is never allowed to penetrate.

[On the other hand], you may be hypersensitive and take offense at things said or done in all innocence by those around you. Capricorn has a tendency to hold a grudge and to be unforgiving. Remember that resentments held over a long period of time can have neurotic consequences. Ultimately, the psychogenic poisons this creates will result in digestive upsets through over-acidity.

One of the best auguries for good health in Capricorn’s case is a robust sense of humor—the kind that demonstrates the ability to see the lighter side of life. Moods of anxiety and depression can be detrimental to your health.
