Feliz Cumpleaños SCORPIO!

This month begins with a New Moon on All Saints Day and this is a hint for you and your behavior. Coda Uno: conduct yourself in a saintly manner. Coda Dos: GO TO CHURCH (la milonga) FREQUENTLY.  Coda Tres: RESPECT THE SPIRITS (in this case referring to both ghosts of your tango past as well as alcoholic beverages.) Coda Quatro: A BAPTISM OF SOUL IS CALLED FOR. Renew yourself and your dance.

SAGITTARIUS

The 3rd and the 4th are your best dancing nights. You can even continue on through the weekend but then the tango fun is done. There are more serious things to consider. Your professional reputation is strong and many important people want to work with you. Go to bed early so you can take advantage of these great daytime opportunities. By the full moon on the 15th, you will have caught the big money fish and then you must make time for love.

CAPRICORN

Your social circle is growing and hand in hand with this come the politics of the dance. Increase your awareness about people and their needs and open yourself up to the knowledge of other styles. Then you will find that your power and presence grow in the milonga. After the 5th, romantic possibilities blossom as well and this definitely charges your tango.

AQUARIUS

Looking at the world from your point of view is likely to give you vertigo, so be careful before making any big moves. This is a very weird month and you must be careful not to lose your balance. Proceed with caution and NEVER CLOSE YOUR EYES on the dancefloor.  You are travelling back to the golden days of the tango when all the malevos packed cuchillos*.               *knives

PISCES

You are having some unwholesome desires of the flesh.  "Perfectly fine", as my Tango Mama used to say, "but those are the things to go to another city for!" Get out of town, fishy and do your thing. The 9th and 10th add glamour and even romance to your quest. The 24th and 25th bring low down and dirty dancing!

ARIES

Tango is a tricky business but you will have the edge you need to make your dreams come true. It is especially important that you LEAD the way on the 13th, and not take no for an answer. Travel is a bit pricey and stressful but after the 21st, any milonga where you hang your hat will feel like home.

TAURUS

Are you worried about your partner stepping out on you? It won't happen if you pull out first. Remember the Argentine lingo - if you say "gracias" - that means, "thank you, I've had enough!"  It will be a great way for you to save face in the middle of this tricky and deceitful tanda.

GEMINI

You have a lot of work before you now and it must come first. Some of this is highly secretive and some of it is very very sexy. Either way, you will not be bored with the music of your life. After the 21st, you will be busy preparing for an exciting journey. If it is Tango Mecca you are headed for, you can expect smooth and happy travels.

CANCER

This is a very fertile and creative month but you will need specific kinds of partners to bring forth the best of your dance. Children, pets, and lovers will all bring you happiness and comfort. This is not the time to seek out the strange or stranger but to stay close to home. It is here that you will find the loving embrace that you need.

LEO

Very interesting real estate developments are about to occur. Keep your eyes and check book open. It is also important to keep an ojo on your Mother (or maternal figures in your life.) Beware of your family. As some say: "Don't tell your Mother and don't trust even your Father." Who can you trust - the old maestro - and that is the only one.

VIRGO

You should be writing your tango memoirs or at least be taking notes on all those new steps you are learning. This month will be fun and interesting and everything important is right here in your barrio. No need to travel more than a few blocks to be in the center of it all. The 24th is your best dancing day.

Libra

Your finances are getting a face-lift and this translates into new tango shoes and fabulous wardrobe for you. On the full moon on the 15th, you will be led towards things that bring more long-term security. Hint: There is one investment that you can definitely take to the bank, but the other more long lasting one comes out of a loving embrace.
