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: You feel the planetary alignment today as a positive aspect, supporting those who are willing to turn their good intentions into action. The power of this transit is in experiencing the benefit of exercise and a healthy diet in your emotional life. Begin with today. Concentrate on making your diet a mirror reflection of what you feel is right: heavy on the vegetables, low on the sweets, look for protein in legumes and lay off on the saturated fat!

Taurus: The main benefit of the physical component of your sign lies in stimulating the energy around the third chakra. There are many ways to do this and often times "sex" can be one of the more complicated ways, especially with the current position of the planets. Try a simple yoga class two or three times a week and you will notice your energy rise and flourish.

Gemini: The positions of the planets create a favourable energy and whisper encouraging thoughts into your ear. You can feel the potential that this imports to your physical and emotional life. What you do for your body will directly affect your emotional life these days, for better or for worse. Pay attention to the role your mind plays in keeping your body tuned, and how your body helps to keep your emotions in tune. A regular workout keeps you listening.

Cancer: If you are looking to outfit your bathroom cabinet with products to pamper yourself with, one of the first things you need to buy is tea tree oil. This oil has properties that are soothing to the skin - one of our most sensitive anatomical areas. Many health care products now include this wondrous natural healer, including bubble bath, moisturiser, deodorant, and shampoo. In addition to assisting in the care of your skin, tea tree oil also benefits nails and hair.

Leo: Be good to yourself, because nobody else has the power to make you happy - George Michael said that in one of his songs, and he might as well have been thinking of you! You need to take the power into your own hands and create the physical reality you can be happy in. This means opening up your eyes to all that you wish were different about your body and taking steps toward a future form that is closer to your ideal.

Virgo: The wonderful quality of empathy that you represent is only as good as it feels to you. That is, if you are not able to give someone else what they want in a relationship, that is just fine. Just be sure to communicate to others when you have reached your limit. This way you will avoid any unnecessary guilt. In the meantime, you would do well to focus on what you can do for yourself in terms of your physical health.

Libra: Giving in to what you feel like doing every minute of the day can be a wonderful fantasy but not a very healthy practise! Having a body is a bit like having a job, and you can make this either the best or the most challenging job you ever have! A regular, well thought-out program is recommended for a positive "working relationship" with your body. Begin to notice whether you give your body a real vote in the daily decisions you make about your health.

Scorpio: You'll feel like indulging a bit today and that's OK as long as you also do something to counteract your indulgence of choice. If it's ice cream, for example, understand that lactose is difficult to break down and also causes mucous build-up so drink an extra lot of water to counteract these effects. If it's taking a break from exercise, make today the day that you get to bed early so you are refreshed for tomorrow.

Sagittarius: There is a lot of temptation out there, but take a moment and reflect on your body's reaction to excessive indulging. Isn't it time to get "on track" and assume regular health routine? Sometimes all you need to do is take the time to reflect on your decisions and you will find the answer sitting right in the centre of your brain! Slow down today with a cup of Chamomile or other herb tea and notice the shift in your perceptions.

Capricorn: Walking the line between exerting yourself and conserving your energy is a delicate practise that needs the support of a healthy diet. Too much carbohydrate and fat consumption can take the vitality right out of your system! Take a couple of days to clean yourself out. Try making light meals of soup and salad to give your digestive track a break. At the same time, drink a daily herbal tea of Wood Betony and Verbena.

Aquarius: Give into your desire to exercise! You will feel the pull right now to get to the gym or get out of the house for refreshing walks or runs, and it's important to seize these urges and act upon them. Your body is crying out for energy renewal. And let's face it, you have to spend energy in order to get energy. You may also want to consider doing yoga or other stretching and deep breathing excercises. You will notice a rise in energy and a rise in your spirits!

Pisces: Continue looking for the positive in all that you do. When you give yourself positive reinforcement for healthful actions, you are more apt to take these steps in the future. When you go for a glass of water (particularly when you are not thirsty), try telling yourself why it is good for you with a soothing tone. Your inner voice plays a great role in how you treat yourself. Make it loud and reassuring.
