Feelings are just one of the many ways the mind processes information. This day before the Venus change recalls how each person inhabits a unique experience of the world. We all feel things differently. There is no feeling more correct than another. Likewise, it is impossible for a feeling to be wrong. Your feelings, whatever they may be, are acceptable -- so accept them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Every group of people has its own culture, and it's often impossible to learn it before entering, but with respect and curiosity, you'll quickly find out the rules and customs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your heart carries a question that can only be answered by other hearts. And because hearts have their own language, the answer may seem rather abstract to mind, and yet still so powerfully understood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you're focused on how well your contribution serves the needs of others, it's really too soon to tell. Give what you want to give, obey your instinct, and trust that you can't always see right away what's working and what isn't.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). While playing together can build bonds, working together builds them faster and stronger. Work structures will be a natural environment for you to get to know people for who they really are under pressure and for finding out who you can trust.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Story matters to you. You want to know how people came to be the way they are. You want to know how things are made and by whom. And most of all, you want to understand the why behind it all. Today you will.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even when the only competition is yourself, the game's never quite even. Each day, you show up as someone new. What counts most is bringing kindness to yourself and staying committed to giving your best, no matter the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The rules aren't great. They were made a long time ago and they don't quite vibe with the current situation. Still, there are timeless elements here, and either way, the consequences for breaking them remain. It's probably smarter to follow them, just in case.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just ask for what you want. You might not get it, but you'll feel more at ease knowing you didn't hold back or play small. Putting your full energy into life teaches you more than staying on the sidelines.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Passion gets things done. Passion can also be the undoing. It fuels ambition, but unchecked, it can derail our best intentions. The challenge is to direct that energy with focus, making sure it builds instead of breaks what we're striving toward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Storms come and go, but the mountain remains. That's you. Even when winds batter its surface, its core stays strong -- unchanged, steady and resilient. That's your strength: calm in chaos, unshaken by passing weather.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A shared goal will be fortifying for the relationship. In second place: helping one another reach individual goals. A dynamic to avoid is when one person imposes a goal on the other. That won't work at all, not even a little.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The obstacle in your way is very real, but it is also entirely in your mind. Once you break the circuitry of those thoughts that keep you back, you'll be free. So, how else can you think of this story? With a stellar attitude, you'll prevail.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10). You get the sense that you really can be whoever you want to be! Fortune will smile on you often. You'll meet your goals around honing skills, cultivating successful attitudes and shaping beautiful relationships. More highlights: You'll get a win for your team. Domestic life smooths out with a cash infusion and better organization. A loved one's victory spills into your own. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 33, 31, 18 and 1.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: As Sally Draper in "Mad Men," Kiernan Shipka gave a performance layered with maturity and nuance beyond her years.

Her fascinating ability to convey vulnerability while also appearing powerful and in control is a Scorpio hallmark that keeps fans invested in her journey.
