Your physical body's foundation at birth is displayed in your natal chart. The different areas or "houses" and the planets that "rule" those houses in your chart give direct information about how you handle stress, or if you are prone to certain afflictions or if your vitality is better in one area or another. Begin by looking into several specific areas in your chart.
First, your ascendant or rising sign and the planet that rules it is the most important point to investigate. This is your physical appearance and body. If for example you have Leo on the Ascendant then the ruling planet is the Sun. In what house is your sun and what are the aspects affecting it? Normally a fixed sign like Leo (Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus are the others) tends to give strength of constitution unless there are other hard aspects. I would look at those aspects to analyze if any weakness is shown.
The next point is the 6th house, the house of health. What planets are there and do they have any aspects to them? Also what planet rules the 6th house and what are the aspects to it? If there are none it doesn't necessarily mean something negative, I would simply take into consideration your entire chart to gain a larger perspective of you.
For further examination you would look into any prominent mental and emotional tendencies. This is signified by Mercury and the Moon initially. An example of this is if you have a prominent Aquarian or Uranus placements then perhaps you tend to get depleted by exhausting the mental body and the nervous system so they get worked pretty hard. Then you go and go until you finally break down and get sick. A strong or afflicted Mercury in Gemini can do something similar.
Since the planets move constantly they are placing tension or a positive flowing energy somewhere in your chart all the time. The planets move over your natal positions and this is called "transiting planets". Everything moves in cycles and we are tied to those cycles spiritually, physically and emotionally. These force your attention in ways you may have ignored up till now. For instance, you know you should lose weight but have managed "ok" without health issues. Suddenly as a planet transits a sensitive point in your chart, the "ok" isn't ok anymore, a health crisis pops up to force you to focus on it. I can alert you to periods of building tensions and opportunities ahead.
Finally, we all came into this world with a Soul's journey imprinted in our chart. This includes the our Karma and spiritual baggage handed down from our ancestors. This is indicated in the 12th house, Pluto's placement as well as the Moon's nodes. Karma is past residue is pushing us to evolve beyond it. It determines the framework of experiences on the Earth plane and perhaps some of those lessons are around health. These lessons are available to us by understanding the planets, mythology and meanings behind the sign positions. Free Will is the ultimate determining factor in how you manifest these experiences in your chart. There is no destined future, only tendencies and opportunities. That is why Free Will is so important. I can break down your birth chart down to show you where you can bring greater awareness to your health, use your Free Will to make changes and how to support your Soul's journey.
