Feliz Cumpleaños ARIES!

You are busy on the dance floor and after the 17th Mercury zooms into your sign and you traspie with the speed of lightning and leave those slow romantic tangos in the dust. Just as well because although you have lots of friends and even admirers, right now there is no one special to call your own. If this depresses you, take a look around at some of the unhappy couples. That will snap you right back into your birthday bliss.

TAURUS

Hidden anger or a new enemy will cause you trouble this month. You must also avoid open toe shoes and partners with contagious head colds. Your vulnerability does have one good point - it works wonders on your love life. Play it up and you will find yourself in the arms of a strong and protective partner. Let yourself be deliciously taken care of.

GEMINI

Others are looking to you to lead the way. Even if you are a follower, the power to initiate the dance is in your hands (and eyes). The 2nd and the 30th are your most creative days, so plan to partner up with your muse. A choreography or writing project will be overwhelmingly successful and you will be noticed for your work.

CANCER

Lately you are choosing your dance venue according to the quality of the buffet table. Make sure to check out the spread on the 12th and 13th. You and your milonguero belly won't be sorry. Aside from food, your happiness can also be found in new work and you will be lucky in competing for a job placement so don't be afraid to make that move.

LEO

It's your turn to go to Buenos Aires, especially if you have never been before. Lose your tango virginity now or you will turn sour. If this is not your first trip, change things around. Stay in a new barrio and visit new milongas where you have never been before. Of course, you must also push yourself to try new partners as well.

VIRGO

Information is important now and you don't want to give all your secrets away for free. Hold out until financial compensation is offered. On the 10th you will discover the best strategy to get you where you want to be. You are on a crowded dancefloor and must maneuver successfully and somewhat aggressively to obtain the powerful position you are after.

Libra

In tango, one of the worst things you can do is resist or fight the lead of your partner. In your life outside the milonga, fighting with your lover can clear the air and energize what has become a stale relationship. After the 20th, you'll have a better understanding of what makes this partnership tick, not to mention the fantastic make-up sex!

SCORPIO

You need a new routine for spring. Learn some new patterns and tango steps, and get rid of those old moves you kept repeating. Stop eating the milonga empanadas and put something healthy in your stomach. You may also have to do something radical like change your therapist or try a different form of analysis. Be inspired by the Argentine Ché and revolutionize your daily life.

SAGITTARIUS

Expect some progress on your dream home after the 6th. You are also working on self-improvement and others will notice the change in you on the 16th and 17th. New friends and new dance partners are keeping you out late and you feel really energized. All this attention makes you feel sexier than a pair of Comme Il Faut shoes!

CAPRICORN

A move or renovation will keep you busy this month. After the 20th, you'll be back in the milongas with a vengeance. You'll have to use your charm, persuasion, and maybe even a little muscle to win back your dance partners who seem to have moved on. Remember all's fair in love and war and tango. By the 19th, you'll have regained your territory.

AQUARIUS

Your favorite milonga is the one you can walk home from. If that doesn't exist, then it's time you opened a venue in your own barrio. Take the initiative and you'll find that the community supports you. The weekend of the 21st and 22nd is the most favorable time to fulfill your dream. Your key to financial success is advertising or in tango lingo - show up at the other parties in time for the announcements.

 
PISCES

Follow all financial leads and new sources of income will embrace you now. Be glamorous to beat out your competition and use the promises of politicians or the piropos* of old milongueros to gain the positions you desire. The more you embellish, the more dinero you'll win, so now is the time to shamelessly pull out all the fancy steps.

*Compliments whispered into ladies' ears by the milongueros. Mostly meant to flatter and seduce.
