# Health issues of Sagittarius Sagittarius is the healthiest of the twelve signs. You rarely come down with anything, and if you do, it's a fleeting cold or a 24-hour type of flu--and that's all. Jupiter, your ruling planet, has really done you a favor. Sagittarius rules over our exhaled breath, the sciatic nerve and our hip region of our body. Athletically, you are one of the most active of the zodiac signs. "Shallow breathers" is a syndrome that you and Gemini share exclusively. So, if you don't breath out fully you are in for more trouble. Usually, Sagittarius women end up with big hips and abundant thighs. Weight will gather there as you grow older and there's not much you can do about it. The guys usually stay thin and they don't get this extra gift of weight. One thing, though, regardless of your gender, is sustaining injury to the lower part of your body; a cracked pelvis, a broken hip or thigh . Or, a lot of bruises, cuts or scratches occur in this region. The worst is sciatica, which is the inflammation of a very large nerve that runs from the lower spine, down through your buttocks, your thigh and all the way down to the heel of your foot. This is a big, long, central nerve pathway. For Sagittarians, Sciatica gets inflamed from time to time.
