Libra and strong Venusian planets in the birth chart can give to a body type that is challenging to maintain and nourish well.
It leans toward the luscious wide-hipped Aphrodite bone structure with attractive arms. However, the body is susceptible to the physiological impacts of stress. Libra exiles in Mars - the planet responsible for generating and directing energy. They can be inherently 'undercharged' and starved of natural energy sources. Libra rules the kidneys and flank region. Weight tends to gather around the hips and stomach and distribute unevenly. Flaccid accumulation around the kidneys acts to 'nurture' the body in softness. It makes them highly susceptible to the poisons of alcohol with effects that remain long-after. It can also create a constant urge or feeling the need to 'detox'. There may be chronic tensions across the shoulders and back with a weak posture that requires augmenting. They often struggle to stay comfortable and regulate heat, and become noticeably flushed in the chest, face, and neck. The Air element which Libra belongs also contributes to overthinking and a mental alertness that can often impair sleep quality during stressful periods too.
More than any other sign, Libras don't get away with the negative impacts of the poor eating and lifestyle habits of being young for very long. The metabolic rate slows quickly and usually before anyone else. Venus delights in all things sweet, so the undisciplined types -(and even the disciplined at times) can comfort eat themselves into overall discomfort. Such conditions make it necessary for many Libras to be aware of these correlations and establish daily habits centred on maintaining their physical and psychological wellbeing.
