COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

With the Moon in Gemini approaching a trine to the Sun today, focus on avoiding stress and tension. If you need to discuss a matter that’s been troubling you with a close friend or family member (more likely that
friend), catch up with that person now. Whether you’re removing a doubt or two, getting some answers or solid advice, take time to communicate with someone you trust. Making sure both feet are on the ground when you’re ready to move forward again is always a wise thing to do.-- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

If you're looking for independence in the midst of your relationships, your partner might not appreciate it. Everything in life and love isn't focused on you and your needs; if you haven't learned that basic fact of life
just yet, it's time to learn now.  A little jealousy and a little possessiveness can go a very long way, but too much can ruin a beautiful thing. Work to balance your relationships with love, laughter and true commitment. Your impulses may be telling you to jump in without testing the water, but a bit of reserve and trust building will offer the stability you’ve been seeking. After all, stability doesn’t have to be boring. -- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

Continue to play it cool today. It's possible your nerves will be wound quite tightly as one thing after another comes your way and needs to be handled. The best kind of day might be if you didn't have to spend
too much time on any one project or person. Too much time spent with anything or anyone could get you into hot water, and that's definitely not a sizzling, fun kind of day. By all means, hang loose! You don't need the stress. -- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Weekend Health Horoscope

It’s Friday! Can you actually get out this weekend and simply cut loose for what seems like the first time in forever? See how it feels after you go shopping for something fun to bring out your eyes, make you look even sexier...you get the idea. Time for a lunch date? That will work too! If you find yourself more worn
out than you expected by 5 o'clock, it's okay. Rest and decide later if you'll get out tonight.

Your biggest challenge on Saturday will be what to do when. So much play time, where to start? On the other hand, if you've been considering breaking up your twosome, tonight might be the night. Be gentle and try to avoid allowing the situation to get heated. It's just not worth it, you know? Be kind without being patronizing and phony. Bad blood is not the way to go!

Start Sunday in relative solitude--perhaps vegging out or sleeping the morning away. Chill time can be important too. You may have things to do anyway before the new week starts again. If you remember nothing else, remember to adjust: Be outspoken if you wish, but adjust if your intuition tells you you're about to be over the top. Be assertive, but adjust so you don't give the other person a headache. Adjustment is your key word for today. -- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

If those old demons are coming back to haunt you just when you think you had them conquered, nip it in the bud now. Avoid letting those fears and paralyzing issues to retake command over your life. Work on developing some strong affirmations that can assist you in regaining control. Just remember, this is about control over your *own* life, not about ruling everyone else.

While we're on the subject of taking control, you might head out for a run today, perhaps get on the dance floor tonight if that interests you. Use your imagination for creative methods of exercise especially if it means using your feet. -- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

The day could start out slowly, but don’t expect it to stay that way. In fact, the pace should pick up considerably as each hour passes. Is that a guarantee? Not likely. Expect the unexpected throughout the day. This is a good time to use your intuition to stay ahead of the game and out of hot water if the going gets rough. Concentrate on business, and try to avoid being emotional in the midst of potentially chaotic moments. Whatever you do, don't pick up everyone else's emotions so much that you're not sure which end is up. -- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

Mercury at last returns to apparent direct motion today, but don't think you're out of the woods yet. The

point of any Mercury retrograde lies in our learning lessons. Be sensitive to others' feelings especially now, and avoid thinking you have to take command of everything and everyone around you. Decision making will come more easily, and that alone should give you a bit more peace of mind. Just be sure of your actions and motivations. Know that when you take a step in the direction you want, it may be the biggest one you could have ever imagined.--Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

Stick with that feeling of keeping it light. If you've been struggling lately to be more emotionally free and

connected to the world, today's a good day to pick up the pace with that in mind. Everything may not fall in place over the next 24 hours, but it's quite possible you'll notice a difference today. Any decisions you’ve been trying to make should begin to come more easily. Now, you need to consider the best ways to put those long-term plans into action and make them work. Go slowly still. You might even think about putting a two-week deadline on launching some of them. Some things are best when percolated. -- Michelle Young

COSMOS: Weekend Health Horoscope

At times like these, we often have a tendency to make jokes to avoid telling the truth to others--or confronting truths within ourselves. Keeping it light is a good thing although it might be difficult to do when your spirits are compounding everything with the blues. The unexpected is inevitable on Friday, but stay balanced and focused on maintaining your equilibrium.

That need to work on keeping it light is especially important on Saturday when everything seems so over the top. Tense, or intense, emotions could be at the heart of the matter, but there are two ways to look at this. If your drive is all about who wields the power and controls everyone and everything around you, you could find yourself at the heart of tensions that will end up controlling you and no one else. Sooner or later, manipulation games come back to haunt you.

Ice cold anger--never good--can be the result of this weekend's tensions. If you've already met your responsibilities and obligations by Sunday, look to burn off the anger with constructive, healthy exercise. You need to build a sweat without breaking any bones. If something is truly bothering you after all that, sit down with a good friend you can really trust, and just talk it out. --  Michelle Young

COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope

Outdoor sports are made for you today. Make the most of the opportunity--whether you're riding a bike or getting into an intense game of racquetball, tennis, basketball...you name it: The day is yours for some energetic playtime!

Be smart in your method of assessing the situation because you know better than anyone else will truly be able to judge. We aren't talking about selfishness here, just a little healthy R&R. Look back over the last few days. If you've really kept the pace and have been taking care of business, a day--at the most, two--off won't hurt if you're willing to make up for lost time on the weekend again. There aren’t many summer days like these left in the year. -- Michelle Young
