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: 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.

Taurus: Intensity is not your way, although it might be recommended if you are beginning to feel sick lately. For example, you may want to consider intensifying your consumption of water, something highly recommended at this time. Try making it a habit to drink a couple of glasses of warm water before your morning coffee or tea. To further hydrate and nourish your cells, invest in a juicer and make healthy drinks from fresh fruits and vegetables.

Gemini: You may experience an increase in perspective of some kind. It's especially important now to focus on a diet of healthy foods that nourish your mind as well as your body. Really limit the amount of processed food you eat - you may want to purge your home of unhealthy food sources that lie in wait for those weak moments. Ask your local organic grocer if there is a "farmer's club" you can join - an economic way to have organic produce on a regular basis!

Cancer: The planetary alignment today gives you the urge to discover something new! Explore the possibilities that present themselves and pay special attention to your emotional responses to those opportunities. The tendency to intellectualise emotions will be increased. Use your ability to think ahead, and anticipate how decisions will impact your emotions. It's wise to stay faithful to your healthy diet and exercise program now.

Leo: You are very sensitive to the plight of the earth as it undergoes destruction in many places. Support your own inner peace through the calming practice of meditation (a long walk can be a meditation, too) or gentle exercise. If you are feeling susceptible to illness, use preventive herbal remedies such as goldenseal, echinacea and astragalus, all easily found in your local health food store. To calm the pineal gland, our bodies' most attuned psychic organ, the fruit of the papaya is recommended.

Virgo: Relieve your stress level today with some form of exercise that cheers you up. What you do for your body you also must do for your spirit. Running with friends or taking a funk-aerobics class at your local gym would be great, something to pump up your heart rate as well as your sense of humor. The kind of energy we have comes largely from the activities we choose to participate in - choose something that makes you smile!

Libra: You will feel sympathetic to the underdog today. You may also feel so sensitive that you get your feelings hurt through some kind of misunderstanding. Bolster your defense mechanisms with "protective" measures. Sign up for a self-defense class. Look into the martial arts as a new form of exercise to integrate into your repertoire. Give yourself the benefit of drinking plenty of water and substituting herbal tea for coffee every so often. Echinacea and chamomile are recommended.

Scorpio: If you are having trouble concentrating, you may need to exercise your body and give your mind a rest. Bikram yoga is recommended, but not for the faint of heart! Be sure to drink plenty of water before taking one of these classes. Alternatively you may want to sign yourself up for a deep tissue massage - the longer the better! Give yourself the pleasure and benefit of a deeply relaxing physical experience. Follow-up with the healing effects of sage leaf: either in food, or you can use sage oil on your skin.

Sagittarius: Your belly could be a bit sensitive today. Use peppermint or chamomile tea to soothe an upset stomach. If you don't feel you can exercise, take a little time to perform light stretching throughout your abdomen. Direct your attention to your digestive process and eat lightly: soups and cooked vegetables would give your stomach a rest. If you can use organic vegetables, this is always preferable. You may enjoy researching organic farming on the Web to learn more about how to nourish yourself physically and spiritually.

Capricorn: Today you're ready to take risks to defend what's important to you. Don't get carried away and forget your basic needs, though. If you're inclined to be the center of attention, a dance class or a boxing class will give you the workout you need while satisfying the "daring" feeling you have. Other "dares" can include what you eat. Put raisins in a meat dish you might prepare: they are wonderful for your heart and the taste combination is astonishing!

Aquarius: You need to be very protective of your time and energy - so often you give to others and skimp on yourself. Return to the "child state" and focus on yourself today. Take yourself to an exercise class and situate yourself next to the teacher. Ask for help when you need it. It would be wonderful to have a healthy meal prepared for you by someone else. Otherwise, many organic grocery stores prepare wonderful meals that can be taken "to go." Take it easy today.

Pisces: With today's planetary alignment, you will be especially sensitive to the needs of others - with a special emphasis on family and children. You may want to consider enhancing your home environment in some nurturing way. Is it time to upgrade your kitchen? Healthy herbs grown in your own home are a lovely way to heighten the pleasure of eating as well cooking. A simple planter box by your kitchen window is attractive and practical. Rosemary, parsley, and basil are some suggestions.
