The Romans celebrated the goddess Carna, who presided over internal organs, particularly the heart, liver, and lungs. Carna is also associated with general vitality and health, the conversion of food to energy, and the building blocks of the body. If you've been considering starting a diet and exercise plan for the purpose of better health (not just to lose weight in order to fit the media's depiction of "beauty"), this is a good day to start, especially because fresh produce is now more abundant both in gardens and stores. It's also an auspicious day for making medical appointments, especially with nutritionists and internists. Celebrate with a feast of healthy food, perhaps with a vow to give up junk food or other bad culinary habits. Ask Carna to bless you in your quest for greater health, and to help you notice when you are becoming ill or developing an injury over time.
