Valentine's Day for Singles

Celebrate yourself on this day of love

Have you been dreading Valentine's Day? Well, get over it! Cupid wants you to celebrate love in all of its manifestations, not just the romantic variety. As a single person, you have energy for loving friendships (which you might not have time for if you were part of a couple) so you have much to be grateful for. Here are some tips for how each Sun sign can use this day to affirm that a partner isn't necessary when it comes to celebrating love -- and a few suggestions for attracting a date as well!

Aries (March 21 to April 19)
If you're single and loving it, more power to you ... but if want to find a partner, try making this holiday your Valentine's New Year. Write resolutions about new ways you can reach out while having fun in the coming year. Get psyched up and create a positive attitude. The world is your romantic oyster!

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
You could use some pampering on this special day, so take yourself to a spa to enjoy a head-to-toe beauty treatment, massage or soak in a hot tub. Be your own best date by treating yourself to whatever sensual delights tickle your fancy. Invite a close friend along and indulge together.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
If you get the urge to call your friends and whine about your single status, go ahead. Get chatty and vent all you want ... but whatever you do, resist the temptation to ring up your ex or that hottie you've got your eye on. Wait for another day to make those calls, when your emotions aren't so volatile.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
You're one of the world's biggest romantics, so don't let being single stop you from celebrating love. Arrange a gift or card exchange in your circle of friends and invite them over for a Valentine's party. Bake cookies and deck out the house in red hearts and candlelight. Declare a toast to the loving friendships that sustain you.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Okay, Leo, you may not have a date this year, but you can still spread some cheer. Offer to baby-sit your friends' kids. Parents of young children often have trouble finding time for romance in their busy lives, so help them out. You won't be alone, and you'll have fun playing with their kiddos.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
This is going to sound crazy, but this might be the perfect day to clean and reorganize your space. De-cluttering improves feng shui, which creates chi (vital energy) that can help attract more magic into your life. If you're looking for a relationship, enhance the southwest sector of your bedroom with gemstones, crystals and candles.
