COSMOS: Your Health Horoscope for the Week! Adjustment Time, Aries!

Oct 31-Nov. 6, 2011: Have you made your appointment for your flu shot yet? You may not think it's necessary, or perhaps you're a believer in that old rumor that you'll get the flu if you have the shot, get it anyway. According to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, if you get the flu, the likelihood that you'll have a heart attack in the first three days multiplies by five! Be heart healthy and get that shot. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping you'll stick around for a while longer.

Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, consider this a week of adjustments. Don't stress if you can adjust. There is an end to all that nonsense. It's just that you're in the shadow of Neptune's return to direct motion, and it's in opposition to transiting Mars. Allow your mind to wander a bit instead of stressing, and you could spark some fabulous brainstorming sessions that actually make you feel a lot better than you did. Measured brainstorms through Wednesday morning should be especially productive. There's no harm in exercising your brain too.

Well, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, if you're having trouble making up your mind this week, it won't be particularly surprising to me. It seems as if you're being pulled every way you can imagine. Don't wait around to let others decide for you. It's a matter of do you want him or not? Are you okay with the idea of freedom? That means loads of freedom. It's all so confusing, isn't it? Let's put it this way: If you think you need freedom, hold on for another week and avoid the stress for now. If you think you want to commit, read what I just said about freedom. You need to go slowly and stop worrying about rushing. The holiday season is starting in just a couple of weeks, and you need to be able to think creatively while budgeting wisely. This is an active week. Don't make it dizzying.

Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces, romance is in the air, and before the end of the week, you might be looking at a major commitment. It might be hasty at this point for me to tell you to go slowly. Just don't make it legal for another six weeks or so. That should give you time to plan the celebrations if you're really intent on the matter. It's easy to celebrate even when there's nothing going on . Watch your waistline now and do something positive to bolster your self-confidence. If you want pressure, consider what you can do to raise the bar on how you'd like to look. Even exfoliating can be pure heaven for your skin! -- Michelle Young
