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: Give yourself some breathing room in order to fully know what your body needs this at this time. By "breathing room," I mean aerobic exercise. Yoga is a great example of something that gives you the skills to relax and deepen your breath. This is the main benefit of yoga, and needs to be understood by those who practice it. Rather than focusing on "tightening your butt," let yoga loosen your tight grip on reality and through expanding your lung capacity, and give you important perspective.

Taurus: While many find you to be "hot/cold," this is not totally accurate. You are actually highly consistent and dedicated to your passions - it is the "passions" that fluctuate naturally. If you find yourself wanting new foods or flavors, do not deny yourself these inroads to higher truth! The cravings for hot spices like curry or chili peppers or cooling agents like avocado and yogurt are truly beneficial for your system. Pay attention to your inner voice through diet, and thrive!

Gemini: To keep your energy going strong at this time, it is important to keep an eye on your dairy intake (dairy slows the metabolism). Walking and running will help burn off "dead baggage energy," but make sure you stretch out your lower body thoroughly before engaging in these activities, as hips and thighs are a sensitive areas for active people. The liver is taxed due to today's busy life styles, so use Milk Thistle (herbal tincture) in your tea to cleanse it - about 15 drops per cup.

Cancer: You could be feeling under-appreciated these days. Try to alleviate this feeling by reaching out to others. Now, you do not have to walk up to people and say, "Appreciate me!" This is far from being your style. However, you do need to start getting out more. Even if it's just for an hour, get yourself into more social situations (which won't be too hard during the coming months). Talk about what you are doing and let people know your thoughts and feelings.

Leo: You will benefit from eating fish instead of meat as often as possible. Fish oil has tremendously beneficial effects on the nails and hair, and doesn't tax the digestive system as red meat does. Enjoy the lighter things in life: fresh vegetables, bean curd, soy products and herbal tea. Even if you make substitutes only once a week, you will benefit in the long run from your effort. Have you ever followed a recipe for fish or tofu? Try it!

Virgo: You are the kind of spirited nature John Lennon had in mind when he wrote the song "Imagine." The ideal world that is always just out of our reach, where all things live in harmony, is where you really want to be. Thus, you are no stranger to suffering here on earth. Emotional suffering negatively impacts your immune system, and vice versa. To "toughen up" your immune system, keep some echinacea around the house and add 8-10 drops of it to your nightly herbal tea.

Libra: You can organise your life to fit your needs, the options are there for the taking. If ever the planets were encouraging you realise that you are in the driver's seat, it is now. To bring the challenge down to a more tangible level, try challenging yourself to a more demanding physical routine. This could mean anything from starting to exercise for the first time in your life to deciding this is the year you will run a marathon. Either way, you are taking control.

Scorpio: There is a lot of energy whirling around these days, but you have the benefit of grounded energy if you choose to use it ('use it or loose' it most definitely applies!). You may want to increase your intake of water and decrease your intake of caffeine and carbonated substances. Steer away from heavy foods and keep your natural energy "well-positioned" by eating homemade soups and salads prepared fresh with seasonal vegetables. These minor efforts can have maximum effect.

Sagittarius: The structure in which to play and work was all organised for you in kindergarten. This is not to belittle any feelings you may have of being "out of control" - it is to remind you of the importance of structure. The present planetary configuration helps you to set the necessary boundaries - whatever is right for you - for your health. Structure needs to be flexible but very, very strong. Try to enjoy the process of integrating structure into your life.

Capricorn: You sometimes get stuck in your rut. All that focus on "waiting for the right time" can bring you to a place of inertia. The astral energy at play makes this a great day to get on your feet again! This is a time for nurturing yourself, not others. Give yourself what you need in terms of diet, exercise and rest. You may feel the impulse to take care of someone else as proof that you are out of your shell - resist and persist!

Aquarius: Elvis Presley died of heart failure. Got your attention? If you don't understand "fat," it is time to go on the internet and do fifteen minutes worth of research. You need to protect your heart against high cholesterol. Saturated fat (animal products and dairy) stimulates the liver to make LDL cholesterol, and there is overwhelming evidence proving its adverse affect on the arteries. Unsaturated fat is better: avocado, peanut and olive oil. Live and learn!

Pisces: If you find yourself giving in to other people too much because you feel they depend on you, it's time to give yourself the attention you deserve and stop distracting yourself through filling the needs of others. Ground yourself with deep breathing exercises. Have you been getting regular aerobic exercise? Take it easy if it's been a while, but definitely try to get back into caring for yourself first.
