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.

The daily readings will advise you on how to look good and maintain your personal health.

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

Aries: Give in to your gentle side today. Where there is a tendency to eroticise, look further into your body and find the true need beneath the surface titillation. The astral energy is helping you address your needs. Do not be afraid to make changes that seem "irrelevant": if you don't like your yoga instructor, or you can't stand the gym where you belong, make a change! Things like this are best to clarify and act upon now, so that you don't end up punishing yourself in the long run.

Taurus: Flexibility is important for you. There may be a correlation between what you do for your body and what you are able to do in relationships. If you ignore what you need to do for your body, you may ignore what you ought to be doing in your relationships to boot! You are quite capable of changing things for the better and coming out on top. Start the process by removing the greasy favourites from your diet, and cutting back on caffeine intake. And do drink more water!

Gemini: Pay extra special attention to emotional needs today - both yours and those of that someone you love. With the current astral energy, our intentions to please and care for those we love can easily miss the mark. Have you ever put the car in third gear when you were aiming for first? Remember what happened? Don't stop yourself from opening your heart, but make sure your heart exits your mouth exactly the way you intend it to. Sometimes our sweetest thoughts fall into the mustard on the way to someone else's ears.

Cancer: While you're thinking about the future, it's important to tend to the present. Direct some of your attention to the development of good habits that help your vision. Consume spirulina, chlorella and other blue-green algae in healthy shakes once or twice a week. These and other sources of beta carotene will increase the level of Vitamin A in your blood stream, which you need to support your insightful vision. Also, sports such as tennis that depend on hand-eye coordination are excellent forms of exercise.

Leo: Today's atmosphere seems to make the world a safer place. Enjoy this feeling of "expansive caring" to the maximum. Start with getting your blood flowing with some kind of aerobic exercise. Then treat yourself to a dinner that includes organic produce: grown and consumed with the conscious intention of nourishing not only the body but the soul. You have the natural ability to tap into these positive energies, and the planets emphasise your idealistic perspective.

Virgo: You'll have your usual boundless energy today, along with some extra emotional awareness that may come as a pleasant surprise. To tap into this compassionate energy, be sure to drink plenty of water and stay away from processed foods, as they can disturb your mood. A yoga or meditation class would be a wonderful gift to give to yourself. Seeing some live music where you can get up and dance would be a superb way to act out the combination of energies that are available to you.

Libra: You can feel like the world's most sensual person at times, and the planets support this kind of feeling. Let your emotions guide you in creating a wholly nurturing environment around yourself. Give yourself the right foods to feel your best, and respect your body's need for physical exercise and adequate rest. If you tend to look after other people's needs, use today to identify the things that you so often go without. Then fulfill your own needs first.

Scorpio: There is more to staying fit than eating right and exercising. You can benefit from paying closer attention to everything in your life: how clean is your car? Do you make your bed every morning? How long do you go without doing the laundry? These things affect how you perceive life, whether it is easy or hard, even going as far as whether you are optimistic or pessimistic. Today's positioning of the planets supports the general inquiry into these finite parts of life. Use the force!

Sagittarius: The planetary alignment makes you expansive and friendly today. Try turning your soft underbelly towards the world instead of that hard shell and you'll be surprised at what happens. There is a tendency to get stuck in "receiving" mode, however, so don't forget your own needs. Use the energy to remind yourself of what you really want and don't be afraid to vocalise it. Take time out to go to the gym, for example, if you are a busy parent. It will help you to better help others.

Capricorn: If you need help at work or at home, today is a great day to ask for it. Others are only too willing to serve you. If you've been neglecting your own needs lately, take the time to secure help with the kids or leave work early, and do something for yourself. This could be taking a walk or attending a spinning class to get your heart rate up (always important!), or even shopping for the little things that have been on your personal list for too long.

Aquarius: Tap into your softer side, and notice the need for a shift in your focus. Today's aspects asks you to focus on the mothering, nurturing side of life. Is there something you need that you are hoping someone else will provide for you? Are you compensating by providing what you can for others, instead of focusing on yourself? Take the time to re-focus on yourself by cleaning out your closet or your refrigerator, a project based around your own needs.

Pisces: You may feel frustrated by the judgements that your mind produces. The aspects today invite us to be compassionate with ourselves and others, yet your sign is so dedicated to fairness that you may find it difficult to be compassionate when someone or something is just plain "wrong" in your eyes. Step back and take a break from this kind of situation. Swimming would be recommended now, in order to feel your own weightlessness while you exercise out those frustrations.
