Lidong on 11/7: Why Look at Zodiac Signs and the Body
You step out in the morning, a cold breeze hits, your neck shrinks in, and your hands quietly slip into your pockets. Has that moment been showing up more and more lately? In 2026, Lidong falls on 11/7 (Saturday). In Taiwan, the weather usually starts to show a bigger gap between morning and evening temperatures around this time, and many people feel more tired and a bit stiff during this period.
In classical astrology, each of the 12 zodiac signs corresponds to a part of the body, running from Aries' head all the way down to Pisces' feet. This article uses that mapping to pick out the place each sign should look after most around Lidong, plus small tips Taiwanese readers can do today. When you finish, feel free to send it to that friend who always wears just one thin jacket.

Fire Signs: Quick to Rush Ahead, Quickest to Forget to Stay Warm
Aries: Head and Face, Tense as Soon as the Wind Blows
Aries corresponds to the head and face. You often dash out first thing in the morning, not minding half-dry hair, only to find halfway through your ride that your forehead feels swollen from the wind. Around Lidong, the temperature gap between morning and night is large, and the head takes the cold wind most directly.
Care tip: After washing your hair, take three minutes to dry it before heading out. If you commute by scooter, keep a thin headscarf inside your helmet; if you usually take the MRT or drive, keep a beanie in your bag so you can pull it out when it gets cold in the evening.
Leo: Chest and Back, Holding Up the Show Until Your Shoulders and Back Are Stiff
Leo corresponds to the heart and back. You're used to standing at the front and carrying things for everyone, keeping your back straight, and only when you get home do you find your upper back is too sore to move. When the weather turns cold, muscles tighten up even more easily.
Care tip: Before bed, apply a hot towel to your upper back for ten minutes, then take a few slow, deep breaths. If your exercise load has suddenly increased lately, remember to warm up first and build up gradually. If you have chest tightness or heart palpitations, seek medical care right away.
Sagittarius: Thighs and Hips, Can't Sit Still and Most Often Forgets to Stretch
Sagittarius corresponds to the thighs and hips. You might want to hike today and go on a night run tomorrow, yet rarely stretch afterward. Or the reverse: after sitting at the computer for several days in a row, the backs of your thighs feel completely tight when you stand up.
Care tip: Get up and walk a lap every hour you sit, and after your evening shower, while your body is warm, do two minutes of thigh stretches. If you have a weekend outing planned, a pair of warm pants that can fold into your backpack is much more comfortable than toughing it out.
Earth Signs: You Can Hold On, So You Often Wait Until You're Very Sore to Deal With It
Taurus: Throat and Neck, the First to Feel the Cold Wind
Taurus corresponds to the throat and neck. You're very good at putting up with things, and even with a dry throat you'll say, "It's fine, I'll just drink some water." But around Lidong the air gets both drier and colder, and the neck is often the only part of your body left exposed.
Care tip: Bring a light scarf when you go out, and you can drape it on in air-conditioned rooms too. Drink more warm water during the day and cut back on iced drinks. If a sore throat doesn't improve after several days, go see a doctor instead of toughing it out.
Virgo: Stomach and Intestines, Your Belly Knows First When Stress Is High
Virgo corresponds to the stomach, intestines and digestion. When your to-do list gets longer, you might forget lunch, or finish a rice ball in three bites while standing. With the weather turning cold and your routine thrown off, your belly is the first to protest.
Care tip: Switch breakfast to something warm, such as hot soy milk or a bowl of congee. At meals, put your phone aside for ten minutes and finish eating slowly before replying to messages. When your belly feels bloated, gently rub clockwise around your navel with your palm for some relief.
Capricorn: Knees and Bones, the Cold Reminds You They're There
Capricorn corresponds to the knees, bones and teeth. You're used to treating your body like a tool, walking if you can walk and carrying if you can carry, and only when your knees catch going up and down stairs do you think maybe it's time to take care of them.
Care tip: If you often wear shorts or skirts, switch to long pants after Lidong or add a pair of warm tights. Before bed, soak your feet in warm water up to your calves, which will warm your knees too. Teeth tend to get sensitive when hot and cold alternate, so cut back for now on pairing hot soup with iced drinks.
Air Signs: The Mind Keeps Spinning While the Body Is Left Aside
Gemini: Shoulders, Arms and Breathing, Prone to Coughing and Stuffiness in the Cold
Gemini corresponds to the shoulders, arms and respiratory tract. While replying to messages and watching videos at the same time, your shoulders creep up toward your ears without you noticing. When the air gets cold with the change of seasons, your nose and throat also become more sensitive.
Care tip: Every so often, roll your shoulders backward ten times. Run an air purifier or keep the room ventilated, and wear a mask when going out to crowded places. If a cough drags on for a long time, remember to have a doctor take a look.
Libra: Waist and Kidneys, a Slouched Sitting Posture Eventually Leaves You Sore
Libra corresponds to the waist and kidneys. If you like cropped tops with low-rise pants, your waist is easily left exposed to the wind; if you usually sit for long stretches and tend to lean to one side, your waist is also the first to complain.
Care tip: After Lidong, choose a longer top or vest that covers your waist, which looks good and keeps you warm. Put a small cushion behind your lower back when sitting. Remember to drink more water during the day, and don't wait until you're very thirsty.
Aquarius: Calves and Ankles, When Circulation Stalls the Whole Leg Gets Cold
Aquarius corresponds to the calves, ankles and blood circulation. You often curl up in a chair thinking things over, and once you start it's two hours, then when you stand up you find your feet are as cold as if they'd just come out of the fridge.
Care tip: While working, do twenty toe raises every hour to get your calves moving. Wear a pair of longer socks to bed at night. If your feet are often so cold you can't sleep, don't make the foot-soak water too hot; ten to fifteen minutes is enough.
Water Signs: When Your Mood Is Off, Your Body Feels Off Too
Cancer: Chest and Stomach, You Can't Eat When Something's on Your Mind
Cancer corresponds to the chest and stomach. One remark from family or a friend might leave you gloomy for a whole day, and then you realize you only had two bites of dinner. When the weather turns cold, the stomach is even more afraid of catching a chill.
Care tip: When you go out, add an extra layer over your chest, such as zipping your jacket all the way up. If you have someone to eat with, arrange a steaming bowl of noodle soup; if you usually eat alone, cook yourself a bowl of hot soup with an egg and sit down to finish it properly.
Scorpio: Lower Abdomen, Most Afraid of the Cold but Least Likely to Say So
Scorpio corresponds to the lower abdomen and pelvic area. As Scorpio season moves into its second half, you may still be digesting a lot inside. You don't say it out loud, but your body feels it first, with a dull, chilly feeling in the lower abdomen.
Care tip: Add a heat-tech top or a close-fitting vest around your waist and abdomen, and cover your belly well with the blanket when you sleep. If you have a long-term discomfort, don't quietly endure it alone; booking an appointment to have a doctor check is the most reassuring.
Pisces: Soles of the Feet, the Easiest Place for the Cold to Creep Up From
Pisces corresponds to the feet. You often walk around the house barefoot, or head out to shop in flip-flops, and when the soles of your feet turn cold, your whole self goes sluggish too.
Care tip: Switch to a pair of fuzzy indoor slippers at home, and soak your feet in warm water before bed while playing a song you like. If your shoes get wet on a rainy day, the first thing to do when you get home is change into dry socks.
3 Things Everyone Can Do Around Lidong
- Check the morning and evening temperature gap before heading out, and always keep a thin jacket or scarf in your bag.
- Switch breakfast and your before-bed drink to warm ones, and save iced drinks for the hottest part of midday.
- If any part of your body keeps feeling unwell, see a doctor first; the zodiac is only a reminder to pay a little more attention.
