October 29 adores food, wine and having a good time. Hours are spent planning feasts to entertain friends and family, scouring the best food shops, searching for the nicest restaurants. So much so that this scrumbublious creature would be better off turning professional foodie.
Neither sex lets food take their mind off work. That's not October 29's way. They have the usual massive concentration and determination of most Scorpios. And they have an inventive streak at work, which makes them doubly valuable, seeing as they do, a better way of doing things than the accepted and wasteful route. Nevertheless, when they're tucked up in bed at night, or just want something to read while watching television - characteristic of this day - it will be a recipe book.
There are no fads here. This creature doesn't put on extra pounds, or not many, so their cooking is the indulgent sort. Chocolate cheesecake, or the famous Robert Carrier's asparagus, rocket and French bean salad with parmesan curls. Any talk of healthy cutting back on delicious dairy foods makes October 29 Danish Blue. To both sexes, strawberries are naked sans cream and they have a sneaking conviction that yoghurt is a boring substitute. Or no substitute.
All of this makes both sexes party people. Never happier than with a good-time crowd to feed. Indeed there's usually a houseful at number October 29. What this person likes best is for guests to stay over, then start the party again with a walloping brunch.
None of this means that October 29 imposes food ideas on others, especially children. As teenagers they prefer to graze, resisting the set family meal with its frequent tensions. (This is why they prefer the non-nuclear massive gathering for meal times). With children and teenagers, 29 is always careful to let them pick what they want. Both sexes simply cook up a selection of tempting things and leave them lying around.

You are deeper and more intensely emotional than you appear, and sex for you is a truly transcendent experience. You work and play hard. Once you get going, your amazing physical stamina can keep your lover satisfied throughout the night. Sharing intimate pleasures and confidences with your mate refreshes your body and renews your spirit.
