What your zodiac sign says about your health today

Health is wealth they say. You have to get a heads up on your general well-being.

Here is what horoscope.com has to say about your health today.

Aries: Satisfying your natural urges is just what the doctor ordered this week. That's right - you are in charge of this! Try to focus on what you really want and then on giving it to yourself. Whether it's a walk by the beach to think over personal matters or a frank chat with your boss, there are certain things that only you can provide. You sometimes sink into the habit of thinking that what you want most deeply is something or some emotion only others can give you. Wake up from this coma, and begin nurturing yourself!

Taurus: You want what you want and you want it now! Today you may experience that quality of yours commonly known as "impatience." The urgency with which you experience certain feelings may overwhelm those around you this week. Try to focus on understanding what you want and putting it into words that let people know how they can help you most. That overpowering celestial energy can be mitigated by language. Another tip: work out your frustration at the gym or on the bike path!

Gemini: Get in touch with your feelings today and communicate them to those you care about. Use the celestial energy to empower your own relationship with yourself as well. Like with any relationship, ask yourself what you really want from yourself: a healthier lifestyle? More friends? Less time at work? More fun on the weekends? This kind of honest chat with yourself will create changes more quickly than you may think. Start with now. What would make you smile?

Cancer: You are ambitious, and can sometimes forget the pleasure that is to be had along the way. Try devising a quiz that you can give yourself a few times a month: call it, "The Creature Comfort Quiz." The questions are up to you - but here are some examples: Is there enough bubble bath in the house? Do I have clothes that flatter my body type or do I need to do a little shopping for basics? Do I have my favorite fresh fruit in the house? Etcetera! With a little self-interrogation, you will come up with plenty of ideas that make you smile.

Leo: You have never been one to blindly conform to the "group," but you certainly do care what people think of you. It's time to help them and yourself out and give them the information they need in order to really know you. You might want to first take a refresher course where YOU are concerned! Do you really know what you do and do not want? Disciplined exercise such as swimming and running give you the time to reflect on these questions while building your strength and self-esteem.

Virgo: Give yourself an inch and you might take a mile! I recommend you bring that tendency poolside! Swimming is an exercise that benefits the body and mind, and it is not an expensive sport. Whether you are a beginner or a High School champ, try to integrate this lovely, low-impact sport into your life. It strengthens your lung capacity while toning your whole body, and once you get on a roll it can be like meditation. Weather permitting, it's a wonderful bonus to be outside - if not, certainly your local gym has an indoor pool?

Libra: Today's planetary alignment gives you the freedom to take your feelings seriously, without being tricked by the "serious expectations" you may put on yourself at other times of the month. What does expanding your horizons mean to you? It might be time to find out - or, if you know what gives you a boost, go ahead and ask for it! Even something as humble as a walk on the beach with your dog (or a friend, or a friend's dog!) could be the answer to opening up to your true feelings.

Scorpio: Today's transit is a lovely one for the sensually oriented. Your body is your temple, and it's a great couple of days for worship! Try to prepare your food as though you were a religious monk celebrating the deity of pleasure: fresh fruits (organic taste better), whole grains, and your favorite flavors. Your body is a sacred ornament: polish it within and without with exercise (yoga massages your internal organs) and exfoliating baths (oats and chopped pear is a great mixture to bring into the water and rub onto your skin).

Sagittarius: Try to see two sides of every issue today. The cosmic energy may lead you to the mirror, where you may be tempted to be scrutinizing and unforgiving. Be gentle with yourself: remember that it is what you tell yourself, and not what others say, that most affects how you feel! And you feel good if you accept yourself as you are and do your bit to stay healthy. You may use this energy to recognize and appreciate what works in your life. If your legs work, use 'em!

Capricorn: The planetary alignment gives you the opportunity to bring the exotic into your life. Remember that other cultures can give us insight into ourselves that can light up our lives. Whatever "exotic" means to you, give it a try! Try to stimulate at least three of your senses with something new: taste, sound, smell, etc. The new does not need to disturb the things that give your life structure and regularity. Stick to your usual dietary boundaries while welcoming new ingredients and flavors into your kitchen!

Aquarius: You love to use your body in exciting new ways, and maybe you haven't been using your physical powers to the best of their abilities lately. Today's transit gives you some in-roads into the wonderful world of physical activity. Be open to the new, which can come in surprising packages. Swing dancing has enjoyed a revival, and is an established pastime in many parts of the world. Try something new that challenges your body to act like it did when you were a child!

Pisces: This is a wonderful time to organize your time and fit in all the things you normally don't get to do for yourself. Make this week a week of self-pampering! Do whatever it is that you normally put off because it is "indulgent" or time-consuming. Make the time to indulge yourself! Hair, skin, feet, hands, body, the more pampering the better! You are a natural born worker - and a little TLC will not jeopardize your work ethic! It's all about looking and feeling your best. Go for it!
