With the Scorpio season (we wish you all luck) come moments of depth and intensity, but all is not lost, because there are also new Candlelight concerts in Madrid. And as there are too many to decide on just one to go to, today we come with an infallible selection process: the horoscope.
According to your sun sign we will tell you the concert of this season that best suits you, so make yourself comfortable, take out your birth chart (or whoever you are most interested in) and enjoy your concert:
Aries: Tribute to Taylor Swift
Not anything else, but you are a natural leader. And honestly, Taylor Swift may be a Sagittarius but going on a world tour where she’s the headliner and each concert lasts more than three hours is very Aries. Are you intense and impulsive? Maybe. would you announce you’re releasing a new album within -3 days of each other and it would still be a hit? No question about it. The result of being iconic.
Songs you most need to hear live this month: All Too Well, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and Cardigan.
Taurus: Tribute to La Oreja de Van Gogh
It sounds like a cliché but it’s the reality: when something gets in your head, there’s absolutely no getting it out. You want to come back with Amaia as the lead singer even though it’ll probably get a little messed up socially? Then you go back. You want her to arrive with roses for you? Well, you wait with a soggy face (please avoid this). You are also very loyal and patient, which often turns you into that friend who tells you the truth even if you don’t want to hear it but then you are grateful (just like with many songs by La Oreja de Van Gogh).
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Dulce Locura, Puedes Contar Conmigo and Deseo de Cosas Imposibles.
Gemini: Mozart, Bach and other timeless composers.
Let’s be honest: deciding is not your thing. That’s okay, we all have some Gemini in us. And that’s why a concert featuring many different composers is your best option, because by the time you’ve had enough of listening to Bach, the quartet will have already moved on to Mozart and then Tchaikosvky. You’re also naturally curious (and also find it a bit hard to compromise), so the program where you try a bit of everything is definitely your program.
The works you most need to hear live this month: Brahms’Hungarian Dance , Verdi’s Nessun Dorma and Bizet’s Habanera.
Cancer: Tribute to Joan Manuel Serrat

If it rains you take an umbrella, if it is hot you wear short sleeves and if you are sad you call a Cancer. These are universal truths. Sensitive and emotional, those of you born under this sign have something almost therapeutic inside you, almost as much as listening to Serrat’s Mediterraneo. Because let’s be honest, it’s timeless now and will be timeless forever. You are also quite intense and tend to drama (we don’t judge), so catching you listening to Serrat between candles wouldn’t surprise anyone either.
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Barquito de Papel, Tío Alberto and Cantares.
Leo: Tributo Flamenco
Candles are all very well but what you need is a good robe. Let them see you, that’s what you came for. As a good Leo you are charismatic and a born leader (we know you know that, it’s nothing new for you). And although you’ve probably had to deal with a lot of envy, the truth is that no one can take their eyes off you. That’s why the concert that most identifies with you is one with power, soul and charisma.
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Bamboléo by Gypsy Kings, Ven devórame otra vez by Pitingo and Noches de Bohemia by Navajita Plateá.
Virgo: La Movida Madrileña (The Madrid Movida)
You’re not manic, you’re orderly. And a concert whose program includes an ordered list of the greatest hits of a specific era? An organizational paradise. And considering that you are also perfectionists and self-demanding, the fact that all the songs are from La Movida is a plus, because you can rest assured that the repertoire is worthwhile throughout the concert. We can’t assure you that you will relax completely (is that even possible?), but it is quite likely.
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Chas! Y Aparezco a tu lado by Alex y Cristina, Lobo Hombre en París by La Unión and Chica de Ayer by Nacha Pop.
Libra: Queen vs. ABBA
The most balanced concert for the most balanced sign. Two iconic royalty(Queen, Dancing Queen… maybe a little forced, but we really think you’ll love this one). You’re also indecisive and sociable, so a tribute dedicated to more than one artist that includes songs we’ve all danced to at some point in our humblest moment is a practically safe bet for you.
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Money, Money, Money and Super Trouper by ABBA and Don’t Stop Me Now and I Want to Break Free by Queen.
Scorpio: Tribute to Luis Miguel
You are magnetic, intense and the best at keeping secrets (probably because yours are worse). The perfect mix of mysticism and intensity that makes us all want to talk to you, although the truth is that you tend to take it all a bit to heart. That’s why Luis Miguel defines you perfectly:¿Será Que No Me Amas? and¿Hasta Que Me Olvides? Passive aggressive. Of course, let’s see who can resist listening to such hits (or you).
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Ahora Te Puedes Marchar, Suave and Amarte es un placer.
Sagittarius: The Best of Ennio Morricone
You’re the sign most likely to tell you to take a trip to Iceland the next day just because, and we love you for it. All about adventure and independence, Ennio Morricone is definitely the composer who would best soundtrack your life. And as a good free soul (soft free soul, mind you), as soon you sound like an adventure movie, like an action movie, like a drama of crying and snotting. And just as you can always trust yourself, you can always trust that you will like the soundtrack of a movie if it has been composed by Ennio Morricone.
The soundtracks you most need to hear live this month: The Mission, The Hateful Eight and Cinema Paradiso.
Capricorn: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
What you really like is tranquility. But the good kind of tranquility, you don’t settle for just anything, and if that means working like a donkey for a long time to get what you want, then you do it. Exactly the same with classical music and especially with Vivaldi’ s Four Seasons: a lot of work behind it, but the result is something iconic (like anything you do).
The season you most need to listen to this month: Autumn.
Aquarius: The Best of Joe Hisaishi
You were probably the one who came up with the good ideas in group work. Your gift and your torment: creativity. It’s not that you think outside the box, it’s that for you the box doesn’t exist. That’s why the concert that most defines you is this one dedicated to Joe Hisaishi. Just like anime, you always see things differently. And even if most of the time people don’t fully understand you, you always end up impressing and giving people something to talk about.
The soundtracks you most need to hear live this month: Spirited Away, The Walking Castle and My Neighbor Totoro.
Pisces: Tribute to Coldplay
You love love love and everything that smells of incense and esoteric programs. You live more in your head than in reality, and honestly it’s often better to leave you there because you can go from crying inconsolably because the sky had too many stars that night to all of a sudden BOOM: great song. Empathy is your strong point (and your weak point), and what band could understand you without judging you better than Coldplay? Exactly.
The songs you most need to hear live this month: Fix You, A Sky Full of Stars and Paradise.
