The Chinese holiday of Singles Day is catching on worldwide. The numerology of Nov. 11 (the eleventh day of the eleventh month, a date made of ones) makes it the ideal day for celebrating those people currently moving through life as a party of uno. Venus busts a move into cool Capricorn today, as if to sing praises to the power of one and remind us that love starts with the self.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Mystical experience cannot be communicated in words, but the poetry that swirls around it in the attempt can be most effective in changing the state of both the listener and the speaker.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Helping your friends is the most natural thing in the world for you, but mushy stuff makes you uncomfortable. The occasion calls for you to express your love. Speak from the heart and you'll do fine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some believe the mind exists in the body, while others say it's animating the body from somewhere up in the cloud. Either way, as a being with mental capacities, the way you take care of your body changes your mind and vice versa.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A clearing process will begin as you try to make room for a newly kindling passion. The elements of your life that do not serve an obvious function will be up for scrutiny.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To truly understand the range of your ability, sometimes it takes a crisis. Not today. You'll push yourself to find your personal best just for the sheer fun of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be asked about your work. To the wise and perceptive ear, your answers will be very telling. You might just surprise yourself with your own answers and learn something you didn't know before.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To be impressive, all you have to do is relax and act on your natural impulses. In other words, be you. When you're doing what's genuinely fun for you, you'll bring energy and excitement to others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The more time you spend doing the thing you really love, the less appealing your former routine becomes. Something about this has got to give in the near future. Are you planning for that now?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you take your business to the next level, your personal life improves, and when you take your personal life to the next level, your business improves. As long as you're aiming upward with something, you're golden.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Over time, people will establish a pattern of behavior with you. Once you lock into that pattern, blame and credit are kind of a moot point. If they disappoint, that's on you. If they excel, you expect that, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your intuition might defy logic, but it will be right. That said, it's important to differentiate between intuition, which is proactive, mostly calm and generally peaceful, and paranoia, which is fearful, jittery and sickening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don't need expensive tools to be creative, but the right tool certainly has the power to inspire you. Consider borrowing, renting or trading in order to try things out before making a big investment.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 11). Blessings rain down like cosmic confetti. You've an inkling this is because of the help you've given in the past, and you'll accept the gifts with grace, though you'll keep paying them forward. Family expands in December, and you'll be a role model for those younger. Sweetness and excitement pepper your spring. Pisces and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 9, 27, 41 and 49.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: If you win by making the other person feel bad, you've lost. Drop the contest. TAURUS: The one who loves you sees your beauty in every circumstance, so you don't have to be self-conscious around this person. GEMINI: Your vulnerability is irresistible. That said, you'll regret leaving yourself too open. Strike a balance. CANCER: The flirting will be superb. The key is in staying playful, without expectations. LEO: Your mood will dictate the mood of others. VIRGO: The saying goes, "It's all fair in love and war." And yet the implication is that if you're in love or you're in war, prepare yourself for a whole lot of not-fair-at-all. LIBRA: You're not playing hard to get; you really are hard to get. SCORPIO: A person who loves you will put you first. Not in every situation, but every time when it matters and a few times when it doesn't. SAGITTARIUS: If you dig deep and work your Jedi mind-trick on it, your confidence can make up for any lacking you might perceive. CAPRICORN: You're coming into your power with Venus as your cheer squad. AQUARIUS: Mars is amping up your charismatic powers. PISCES: Every time you mirror the other person, it's validation and love.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Taurus and Scorpio are two individuals who each have as strong a will as you'll find in anyone. Take the intensity dial and turn it up all the way up for this pairing. The modality for both these signs is "fixed." When they click in, they can be like one being, impossible for any outside influence to part, and very difficult to part from the inside out as well. Under these skies the weekend will be a memory-maker.
