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 cosmic climate gives you the emotional security to pick and choose what you want. Whom you hang out with, what you have for dinner, when you go to bed - these desires are made clearer at this time. On the other hand, be on the lookout that certain areas of your life don't fluctuate with your changing moods. You should try to exercise at least three times a week. If you fail to do so because you "just weren't in the mood," I guarantee your mood will worsen.

Taurus: You have a wide-ranging palate, and are often the person at the table who will order something new or unusual. This palate is connected to a willingness to explore the physical and sensual areas of life. It's important to be open-minded about physical pleasure, though some do not give themselves permission to do so from a young age and become blocked. The body can store blocked energy in profoundly secretive ways. Experiment with various holistic massage practices if this interests you (Alexander Technique is one).

Gemini: The aspect at play reminds us that there are always two ways to do something (if not more!). You can either go to the gym or not. You can eat healthy food, or not. Then there are decisions we make unconsciously: how do you sit in your chair at work? Do you use good posture, with a strong back and the abdominal muscles slightly flexed? Or do you slouch and let your shoulders cave in? Pay attention while you still have a choice!

Cancer: Walking is probably the most under-rated exercise, because it doesn't require much exertion, and people do it every day. But how much do you actually do it? Do you walk instead of take the bus whenever possible? Do you think 8-10 blocks is "too far" to walk? There are serious health benefits from walking: it tones your entire body, you can do deep breathing exercises at the same time, and the body naturally aligns itself when you walk with a straight back and an extended chest.

Leo: One of the best ways to improve your health is to give yourself more time. No, I am not talking about turning back the clock! Give yourself the time between activities to re-group and understand what you want and need to do next. When we rush from place to place, we lose our sense of purpose and regret the time we waste. Even the choice of what you eat will be affected by giving yourself enough time to notice what you really want.

Virgo: Waiting for the right time can be good advice, but not with regard to developing healthy habits to live by. You need to eat three meals a day with healthy snacks in between (fresh fruit, for example). You need to sleep like a baby - and there are ways to create a more successful sleeping habit if you need help. You need to drink enough water to keep your immune system strong and your elimination process in tune. These are things that do not benefit from "waiting".

Libra: You have been on a journey of process, it seems, and you may be craving something that you can sink your teeth into. Whatever you are craving, your internal organs are most likely craving as well. Give them something they can really "gnaw" on, such as: kale, chard, fennel, and chickory. Leafy green salads and roots vegetables can make a big difference in your outlook on life, believe it or not. Take a night off from the gym and plan some meals that include these ingredients.

Scorpio: The world has changed since last year, and no one of us is immune to changes occurring in our personal lives. "Giving" has taken on new meaning: we must give of our minds, not our pocketbooks. We must open up to a new way of living with others. Take this period of change seriously, and you will not be left behind. Yoga is a wonderful practice for giving power to the mind to show the body a new way of being.

Sagittarius: The current planetary configuration impels you to examine your life with a healthy perspective. You could be working on a plan of how you would like to live your life over the next 25 years. You must endeavor to make your health choices consciously, for your bodies is the very structure in which you live! Give yourself all the help you need in figuring out what works best for you in terms of diet and exercise, and create a balance that enhances your well-being.

Capricorn: A lot of emphasis is put on diet these days - choosing the freshest foods available and preparing a variety of healthy meals so that all your nutritional bases are covered is key. Another important part of diet is to eat slowly and chew your food carefully. Apart from avoiding the risk of choking, well-chewed food helps us avoid over-taxing our digestive glands. Many people who gulp down their food over-work their glands, and find that they stay "hungry" even after eating!

Aquarius: Pacing yourself is the name of the game. Whether you have just started an exercise regimen, or been at it for a while, pay attention to your pace. If you are beginning a new health practice, make it relatively easy to manage - so you can keep on doing it! Don't press yourself too hard in the beginning - remember, you are building a habit. Likewise, when you have been doing something for a while, it's important to press yourself gradually further into it (increasing the pace), so that you stay interested.

Pisces: The planetary energy gives your powers of observation a boost, while allowing you to notice with compassion what needs help. Have you been neglecting your exercise routine or diet lately? Has your self-image suffered from lack of self-care? You will notice things about yourself today, but the most important thing you can do is take action! There may be something symbolic you can do - such as buying a yoga mat or scheduling a massage- to commit to giving yourself greater care.
