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: The planetary energy is encouraging you to quit any intake of harmful food or empty calories. This is also a good time for fasting and purification. If you are able, a juice fast is a lovely way to purify your body without too much disruption to your daily life. Borage, Gravelroot and Buchu maintain health in the kidneys and can be added to your juices. If fasting is out of the question, check out some of the herbal cleansing combinations available at your local health food store.

Taurus: The astral energy makes you liable to speak your mind prematurely - giving away thoughts before they are truly ready, maybe burning yourself or another. Instead of worrying about the damage you might have caused, try to isolate yourself a bit for these next couple of days. Withdraw into your own mind with a meditation practice, such as yoga or other exercise, that allows you to know your own mood. Integrate your feelings with excercise. We exist in a "talk culture," though sometimes there really isn't that much to say.

Gemini: You are seeking, exploring, and rooting out the truths that have eluded you in the past. There is a sense of urgency to know and to define your goals. To support this energy, be sure to get plenty of rest and exercise. It's no use burning the candle at both ends! When you find yourself running ragged, ask yourself seriously, why? Are you engaged in some kind of self-sabotage? Oatmeal for breakfast is a great way to ground yourself - oats balance the tendency to be extreme.

Cancer: Pass the mustard! Mustard seed is an ancient treatment for loosening up what is rigid and defiant. You sometimes feel a sense of despondency or depression - if only a little mustard could do the trick! To expand on this ancient wisdom, focus at this time on loosening up your body. A stretch class only twice a week will transform you into a different person, I promise. The more you loosen up your body, the more possibility there is for expansion in your life.

Leo: Today is all about reform. Whatever can be improved upon, your soul is right on the scene. You finally want to start focusing more on your well-being. You are known for being focused on the greater good while sometimes egregiously ignoring the personal, the right here at home, the person looking at you in the mirror... Get where this is going? Stop saving the world and get yourself to the gym, and pay attention to what your body is trying to tell you.

Virgo: Nothing can pick up your soul like fresh juice with lots of ginger in it. This season, treat yourself to one of the greatest man-made creations ever: a juicer. If you have never made your own juice, you are in for a treat. If you've had it in restaurants, you will experience new depths of self-love when you drink it in the privacy of your own kitchen, or dare I say, bathtub. Carrot, apple and ginger root is a marvelous blend.

Libra: Some resistance always arises whenever change is introduced. A river's path is not altered without a few battles between substances! This is a natural process: let the part of you that does not want to change a habit or the part of you that doesn't want to open up and be exposed have its say, full and complete. Then ask yourself: who is boss? Some decision MUST be made in order for any process to be "worthwhile." Walking is a good exercise to do while thinking this over.

Scorpio: You may feel conflicted right now between knowing what you want to do and mustering up what it takes to make it happen. The key is actually to LET it happen! Now is the time for planning and quiet inner work. In today's 24/7 world we lose touch with the natural progression of things and feel stymied by process, frustrated by waiting, and unsatisfied by hoping. If you want to see immediate change, double your intake of water and watch what happens!

Sagittarius: Your creative nature is nurtured by aerobic exercise. Activities such as running, swimming and yoga will strengthen your lungs and enhance the mercurial juices that are your lifeblood. Giving yourself what you need can become a matter of debate if you allow your diet and exercise regimens to go unscheduled. Your mind will strike up a discussion with your "evil twin" about what you really need - it can sound like this: "Chocolate cookies? Running? Chocolate cookies? Running?" Make a schedule and stick to it.

Capricorn: Some days just aren't going to go very well, and you can't hold yourself responsible! The best thing you can do is to stick to what you know. You know, for example, that eight glasses of water is the daily dietary minimum (double it if you wish). You also know that personal time is important to you (even though you tend to pretend it is not). Regardless of the surprises the day may bring, take comfort in the good things that you can always do for yourself.

Aquarius: You have a way of making the best of every situation, at least on the outside. You can, for example, convince others that you are having a good time when in fact you are troubled. You can even trick yourself into thinking that you are having a good time - as long as the spotlight is on you. But alas, you cannot fool your body. Are you giving your body what it needs to truly shine? If you've been pushing yourself lately, the thing you probably need most is rest.

Pisces: If you are not familiar with the herbal extract from the "saw palmetto berry," it is high time you make its acquaintance. It has been clinically proven to lessen the abdominal cramps in women and to promote prostate health in men. The theme of easing suffering holds true for other aspects of your life, too. Back pain, neck pain, headaches can all be alleviated at least in part by increasing the amount of water you drink and the occasional yoga class. These are simple but profound recommendations.
