Shadow's Seductions

How to Interest an Aries​

To interest an Aries, you must appear interesting rather than interested.
There are two fundamental points to remember

1. Areis are suckers for image and are always concerened about the impression
they make.
2. They love a challenge.

You must skillfully cater to both these fibles. You must let them know that you find them interesting but you must not let them think you are a sexual pushover. Never tell them they fascinate you -- especially if they do.
Perhaps the best techniques is to make it obvious that you find Aries an interesting conversationalist but don't let them think you are exually enamored. Try to convey interest in them but, if anything appear rather uninterested in getting them into bed; Aries want to think they got you into bed -- that way they feel they had their way and got what they wanted. They love to win and to feel they came out on top.

Key tactic: Charm and withdraw.

An integral part of the charming phase will be the way you present yourself physically. Aries must be convinced they look good standing next to you. You must be an asset to their ego.
So do not wear your old favorite sloppy clothes. Above all, never appear at any function inappropriately dressed. Aries' favorite color is red. A red dress, a red necktie, a red scarf, even red socks will be appealing
For a big date, dress to kill. If you're short on chic, rent, borrow or buy. The same applies to your house or apartment if you intend the seduction to take place there. They need to see that you have possessions that reek of success. Display your status symbols shamelessly. Direct them to your leather sofa. Conspicuously switch on your Bang & Olufsen. Aries are not impressed by modesty. An ideal status symbol is a sports car -- especially a red one. If you don't own a red sports care yet, mention that you are checking some out. Tell them that just the thought of driving your own sports car gets your motor running. Many Aries {especially the men} spend decades of their lives planning how they can acquire one. If you want to get an Aries' serious attention, cater to this fantasy and hire a sports care for a week -- or for a weekend.
Impress dynamic Aries as being ever ready for action. Never appear tired. Never Yawn.
It's always a good idea to slip in a remark or two about your well-known acquaintances. Aries are impressed by name-dropping. They love the big time -- which is where they feel they deserve to be.
Talk about your job if it is impressive enough, university degrees, sports triumphs, business coupls, film scripts you are about to have produced -- anything that can increase your status in their eyes. Better still: get someone else to tell Aries about you on your behalf. Ask a friend to list all the amazing achievements you are just too cool to mention yourself. {I'ts not that Aries is swayed by humility, but they want someone whose self-confidence is so high that they wouldn't waste going on about their triumphs.}
Above all, the thing to convey to Aries is a sense of destiny about you and your career. Fate has singled you out for something truly momentous in the near future. You're on the way to the top; the big time is just around the cornerr.

Suggested opening line: "I'm going skiing next weekend. Someone's dropped out. Are you free?"

What to talk about: Success, status, winning, who you know, what you know about who you know, how you are destined for fame and fortune, their brilliant career, your brillian career, red sports cars.

Where to take them: A good curry restaurant or other spot where the rich and successful congregate and where Aries can dress to be noticed, skiing weekends, down the coast in your red sports car, Club Med holidays, martial arts classes. If you are required to join them in their favorite sport, make sure you cut an attractive figure -- but it may be a mistake to win by too much.

What to give them: Red things -- red T-shirts, red hats, red lace underwear, a red sports car! Buy them something associated with their favorite sport. Consider books on making money and life at the top. Remember that they like to make a great impression wherever they go -- perhaps you can think of something that will help them do so.
 
How to Interest a Taurus​

Key tactic: Find out what their values are and mirror them.

Taureans don’t believe opposites attract. They expect their partner to share their values, their tastes their opinions, their hobbies. Find out what they believe in and, as much as is honestly possible, agree with them. They want you to like the same books, the same movies, the same music, the same banks, the same cough medicine, the same toothpaste, the same mayo.
Taureans are conservative and not at all intrigued by the eccentric, different or bizarre. In fact, they are downright suspicious of nonconformity. They will be comforted to learn that your tastes and values are the same as theirs.
Earthy, practical Taurus is most unlikely to be impressed by the sort of short-term superficial success that could fascinate an Aries. Flashy clothes and name-dropping are of no interest to them. They want to hear that you have a steady job and money in the back
If you want to impress a Taurean, emphasize your establishment qualities. Steady, secure, sensible is the way to come across if you want them to do likewise.
Taureans are very interested in family linage and tribal life. Don’t say anything negative about your parents; Taureans are great believers in genetics. They want to inspect your pedigree. They want to know that your family is respectable and sane. Tell them your clan has been living in the same house for 3 generations. Very solid, very reassuring.
Taureans will take not of your love of nature. They will be please to hear that you like to go hiking in the woods and highly impressed if you know the botanical names of plants.
The proverb “A bird in the hand is worth tow in the bush” was coined by a Taurean. Indeed, the original Taurean version is “Half a bird is worth three in the bush.”
Take about safe money – conservative investments, property, having it in the bank. Stay well away from any chat about gambling – which for a true Taurean would include the stock market. In fact, anything that isn’t blue-chip or government-backed may well be labeled gambling.
Do everything you can to impress them with your solid, dependable, commonsense, down-to-earth nature.
Don’t get involved with a Taurean unless you have a full frontal approach to food. They don’t want to hear that you are picky, fussy, or allergic. They want a hearty eater who can dig in with them {Warning! Do not share a communal plate with them because you may come away hungry – divide it in half. Throw out your chopsticks if the Taurean is using a spoon – unless you are on a starvation diet. Taureans are notoriously fast eaters. But don’t ever complain that they eat too quickly. They will get terribly offended. To them, wolfing is natural.} If a Taurean cooks for you, bring your appetite. Your desirability may drop if you decline a second or third helping. Skip lunch if necessary.
And then there is the legendary Taurean sweet tooth. Come bearing gifts of chocolates and sweets. How could they resist the would-be lover who arrives armed with choclate hazelnut cake and a bottle of good port for a cozy evening noshing in front of the fire?

Suggested opening line: “You must try this cake. Can I get you some?”

What to talk about: Food, nature, your houseplants, gardening, family history, paintings, music, pottery, property, your belief in traditional values, the need to get the country {society, education, etc.} back on track, anything that supports re-establishing the establishment.

Where to take them: All dates must involve eating; go for nice spots, but nothing too flashy or trendy – trips to art galleries, pottery and craft shops, the opera, concerts, museums; camping trips, picnics, walks in the parks; day trips to historical gardens and houses, nurseries, garden centers, farms.

What to give them: If possible, find out about some favorite thing of theirs that has finally worn out after decades of use and buy them one exactly the same {or as near as possible}. They will compliment you on your taste. Other good presents are old books with leather bindings, prings and pictures, houseplants, historical novels and videos, antique kitchenware and traditional food. Try Scottish shortbread, old-fashioned chocolates and other sweets, whatever they had when they were young, no new, not different, what they are used to – with the possible exception of a microwave oven, for home cooking quickly!
 
How to Interest a Gemini​

Key tactic: You must quickly—indeed, immediately—establish yourself as one of the most mentally stimulating people they’ve ever met.

Geminis love ideas. They are information freaks. You need to be brimming with stimulating ideas and au courant. Sprinkle your intelligent remarks and observations with the latest buzzwords.
Talk about whatever new thing you’re studying. They’re very impressed by anyone who is learning anything. They will be interested in whatever it is you’re a student of—Egyptian hieroglyphics, French, German, conversational Swahili, herbalism, yog, Indian cooking.
Above all, don’t present yourself as a dodo. Never talk about football to a Gemini unless they confess to an interest in it first. They may take such a reference as a sign that you are not intellectually up to scratch. Talk instead about the book you are writing. If you’re not writing one, talk abou the one you would write if only you had the right, stimulating love to give you the inspiration.
It is very important that you don’t interrupt them while they are talking-even though they will cut you off in mid-sentence constantly. They know they do it—they just can’t help themselves. When they realize what they have done, they will say, “I’m sorry—what were you saying?” {And then probably break in again as up try to finish what you’d started to say.}
But…you must listen. Don’t interrupt. Make the occasional incisive, stimulating remark. Keep them talking. It shouldn’t be hard.
If you don’t know much about one of their pet topics, feign deep interest and keep them raving on.
Be prepared to be intellectually tested. Their biggest insult is to accuse someone of having a mediocre mind. They equate this with being sexually mediocre. If they suspect that you are even a little bit of a dullard, you’re not going to make it to first base.
Geminis can actually get quite turned on if you can beat them in an intellectual argument. They find it very exciting to be bested in logical argument by a member of the opposite sex. The women in particular are very turned on by discovering that a man is their intellectual equal—or superior.
Geminis love words and plays on words. If you can drop some clever sexual pun, it will grab their interest. They love word games like Scrabble. You might interest them by seeking their help with a cryptic crossword.
Geminis love flirting and making subtle sexual innuendos and cleverly wicked allusions. They will be very impressed by your daring if you can match them in this game.
Above all, never appear old and stodgy.
After the initial contract, phone them or drop over as soon as possible. They get bored quickly, so don’t delay a week until the first date. You must aim to see them within twenty-four hours.
Geminis are suckers for trends and fads. They’re hooked on novelty, and they like to be up-to-date and informed. So when planning a date, think Californian. Geminis want to explore the latest food in the latest “in” places to be seen, followed by a trip to the latest movie.
They like their food well presented but are not generally big eaters. Some are downright picky. Japanese restaurants are a good bet. So is food that is served communally, so htat they can help themselves to the bits they like—perhaps Middle Eastern or Chinese. Fastidious table manners are a must. Some Gemi9nis can be revolted by the sight of people pigging out. For a Gemini, the company and the conversation are likely to be just as important as the food. Take them to some outlandish restaurant serving some previously unheard-of food that has suddenly become the new-wave cuisine—Mongolian buckwheat cakes, Nigerian yam patties, that sort of thing.
Variety, variety, variety, spontaneity, stimulation and more variety. For Gemini, variety is the spice of life.
Never be late for a date with a Gemini, but never complain if they are—which is not unlikely. Don’t be too shocked if they are an hour late. No need to take this as a sign that their affection for you has diminished. They were probably doing their best to be on time—it’s just that they had a few dozen important things to do—oh, and, of course, they just couldn’t get off the phone.
You need to like their friends. Ms. Gemini is quite likely to say, “Oh, you must meet Michael, you’d really like him. And Warrick, he’s fun. And drop in and meet Will next Saturday—he’s into everything you’re into.” Before you know it, she has organized a meeting with you and Michael and Warrick and Will—and you discover that one of the things that Will used to be into was her. In fact, they are all ex-lovers of hers.
Smile and try to get along with them all—they’re probably interesting.

Suggested opening line:“Do you go to the movies much? I’ve just started work on a screenplay about a teacher who salvages these hopeless kids by helping them start up a part-time business recycling…but I’m not sure what they could be recycling. Golf balls? Skateboards? Then again, an underground magazine could have more opportunities… more opportunity to explore new concepts for disadvantaged teenagers. Then again, I thought, why not an FM radio station—maybe a pirate radio station? What do you think?”

What to talk about: Anything and everything; change topics all the time, preferably in midsentence.

Where to take them: The newest, most-talked-about place in town—even somewhere outrageous, the latest movies, the latest exhibition, the latest musical, somewhere serving the new fad food. No need to tell them where you are taking them beforehand; just turn up0, grab them and go. Take them on a touring vacation with lots of action and exploration. Generally Geminis are urban people, so don’t overdose them on country rambles—they generally prefer the bright lights and energy of the city.

What to give them: Books are always a safe bet: new releases, the latest expose on the lives of the rich, royal or randy. Also, T-shirts with witty captions or cartoons, tickets to the hottest show in town and anything to do with communications—stationery, handmade paper, an answering machine, fax machine, portable telephone. They love knickknacks. They get a genuine buzz from clever curios.
 
yanno I went back and read the sagittarius again, and I have no idea why this didn't jump out at me last night....

But be warned, this “seeking” quality of Sagittarians can extend to their sex lives as well.... They are the spiritual, geographical and sexual gypsies of the Zodiac.

Does this lend credence to the old saying "variety is the spice of life".. ? ;) :p

How to Interest a Cancer​


Key tactics:
1. get them to mother you; and/or
2. you mother them.


Cancerians love to be fussed over and spoiled—and they like to do the same for others.
One ploy for gaining Cancerian interest is to expose your wounded, tragic soul. Reveal how your past partners have cruelly broken your tender, vulnerable heart. Bare your soul and show them emotional bruises.
If they see that you have been hurt in some way by life—particularly by a heartless former lover who didn’t appreciate your sensitive nature—it will bring out the mother in Cancer. Hopefully, they will want to take you under their wing and coddle you.
They, in turn, tend be very sentimental, emotional—even mushy. Cancer is the Sun sign that wears their heart on both sleeves.
If they return your confidences by telling you how their heart was broken, give them total sympathy. Never suggest that it may in part have been their responsibility. Instead, tell them that obviously this person did not appreciate their sensitive, warmhearted qualities. Obviously, the former lover was cold, uncaring and cruel. Unlike you. You can be trusted. You’re all heart.
Tell them that you have this wonderful recipe you would like to cook for them. Invite yourself over to prepare it. Don’t suggest they come to your place—go to their home, which is where they most like to be.
They are megaromantics. Let them know that you are too. Talk abou the 1930s movies you love. Invite them over to watch a great sentimental classic on video/dvd. Tell them you’ll cook your special soup and watch the movie with them—plus you’ll make homemade bread. {Frozen, ready-to-bake dough may come in handy here!}
If you do take them to your place, make sure your kitchen is well stocked. It should look as if you could survive a two-month siege. Arrange fruits and veggies creatively in bowls. Do ikebana with bunches of parsley and dill.
Always arrive at their place bearing comestibles—especially “comfort” food like soup, fresh bread, scones, preserves.
You must be seen as a safe homebody. Drop by with new recipes and invite your Cancerian to cook them with you. Putter with them in the garden—raking up the leaves or painting the fence.

Key tip: Above all else, convey that you understand that happiness lies in domestic bliss

Let it be known early on that you worship your mother. The only excuse you ever need offer for not being able to keep a date is that you have to see your mom.
Ask after their mother frequently. If she is no longer alive, as what she was like. Encourage them to reminisce at length. As much as possible, emphasize the qualities you have in common with their mother. She baked great pies. You love pie and you’ve got a great recipe for rhubarb pie. Their mother liked to garden. You love gardening and can’t wait to get a patch of your own.
Occasionally you will find a Cancerian who had a very bad time with their mother. In this case, the idea is to sympathize totally and mother them as much as possible.
The subconscious of the Cancerian male has a motto: “I want a girl just like the girl who married dear old Dad.”
One difficulty you’re bound to encounter is that Cancerians tend to be mood and easily hurt. A common Cancerian tactic for protecting against future hurts is to pick holes in potential love partners and look for reasons why they are totally unsuitable. In this way they fend off any emotional pain—and a lot of pleasure as well..
Hide your flaws as much as possible. If you get wind that they dislike some aspect of your character or manners, say “Oh, yes, I’m working on it. It’s just the way my mother taught me to behave—conditioning, you know. Goes back to childhood. But I’m working on it.”
A BIG WARNING: Cancerians believe in love at first sight. Or, rather, love at first bite—if they taste your cooking and it’s just like Mom used to make, they’re in love.
They are quite capable of discussing how many children you would like to have as early as the first date—or after the first sexual encounter anyway.
The danger signal is when they suggest you meet their mother. Once you have met their mother, it will be assumed that you are unofficially engaged.

Suggested opening line: “My mother used to make a sauce similar to this. Do you think there’s tarragon in it? I’m going to have a bit more.. can I get you some?”

What to talk about: All the elements of domestic bliss—recipes, cooking, decorating, children, building a spare room, clever tips you’ve acquired on how to lover your electricity bills, where the best fruit market is, your mother, their mother, your cats, their cats, your dogs, their dogs, soap operas, the good old days, the British royal family and its marital problems. Gossip about friends and acquaintances. {Be warned, though, that Cancerians generally gossip in order to find fault with people and pass judgement on them—you could be included.}

Where to take them: Remember that they are stay-at-homes—even when they go out they still like to feel at home—so consider restaurants with names like Martha’s Kitchen, Grandma’s eatery. Also, consider kitchenware stores, haberdasheries, museums, antique shops, flea markets and visiting your mother. Consider too all the things you can do at their place: entertaining friends, cooking big old-fashioned dinners, watching videos/dvds, gardening, furniture restoration, neighborhood walks.

What to give them: Teddy bears, recipe books, romantic novels, biographies of old movie stars, videos/dvds like Gone with the Wind, It’s a Wonderful Life, Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers movies, something for th kitchen {especially if is is “old-world”} and, as the relationship develops, Victorian lace nighties and cozy pjs. If appropriate, give a kitten or puppy. If they already have pets, they’ll be impressed if you bring presents for the pets—chicken livers for the cat, a bone for the dog.
 

Key tactic: Appear inordinately confident.

You cannot act too confident for a Leo. Don’t hesitate to ask for their phone number within 3 minutes of meeting them. You must seem coolly confident and in control. You need to have an air of certainty—certainty that they will feel attracted to you, that they will enjoy talking to you and, of course, will want to get to know you better.
Other Sun signs might see this as brash, even rude. Leos won’t, provided you handle it with panache.

Leos aren’t backward about coming forward. You can ask them out literally within minutes of being introduced. They’ll be impressed by your boldness and your air of authority.

Key tip #1: If you want to vroom, groom.
Before you can get undressed, you have to dress up. For the first date, turn yourself out impeccably. You don’t need to look trendy, but your clothes should reek of quality. They will secretly inspect the label on your jacket as you drape it over the chair.

Key tip #2: To get the best out of a Leo, your credit cards definitely need to be in good shape. Be prepared to spend and live the high life. Never forget that they love the best that life has to offer.

To get a Leo’s attention, tell them you love nothing more than going out and having a great time; you adore lavish dinners, dancing and the theater. On the first few dates, you must impress on them that you are seriously dedicated to la dolce vita. You love enjoying yourself and seeing other people enjoy themselves.
More than any other sign, they will notice not being shown the big time. They will take note of any reluctance to put your hand in your pocket. It’s their way of determining that you value them. For a Leo, generosity is next to godliness. When the time is right the best of Leos will return your gesture—often two or threefold.
Never quibble about the price of something in front of a Leo. They will see you as petty and vulgar. They themselves may well quibble about prices—but don’t you dare.
Above all: never come across as in any way miserly or a killjoy.
Leos’ Achilles’ hell is their hair. Male Leos often have a fetish for beards and mustaches, which will disappear and reappear with the seasons or their moods. Some are veritable Samsons and believe their virility lies in a bushy beard or thick, shiny hair.
Leo women love to have their hair done. When a Leo feels depressed, her first recourse is to call her hairdresser, who doubles as therapist. {Many hairdressers depend on coiffurd-obsessed Leo women for a substantial part of their income.} Woe betide if the Leo’s haircut turns out badly, she can become almost suicidal. If she has a new haircut, tell her how wonderful it is. If it’s a disaster, don’t say, “ No, no, it’s great. It’ll look even better in a week.”
You must never fail to flatter Leos about their hair or beard. And never give a Leo a small compliment. None of this understated “Oh, your hair looks nice.” No, no, no. the compliment has to be huge. “Your hair is fabulous. Where do you get it done? It looks absolutely fantastic.” Sotto voce, tell them, “Your hair drives me crazy. I want to run naked through your hair.”
Leos cannot get enough compliments: on their hair, clothes, eyes, teeth, anything you can think of. Unlike Aries, they won’t see this as the pathetic fawning of a lapdog. They will see it as their due, as an astute observation on your part. Yes, I am wonderful, aren’t I? Here is someone astute enough to recognize quality.
They love good wines. Rush to get them a glass and be there with refills. {There could, of course, be fringe benefits later in the evening.} They love the loosening effect of alcohol. Leos don’t mind getting a bit tipsy but insist on doing it with the best vintages and in good company. For them. Alcohol is a fun drug. They expect you to join them. If you’re a teetotaler, perhaps Leo is not for you. Consider a Virgo instead.
On all levels. Leos want their mate to be their match—in vitality, fun, glamour, passion, decadence.
Leos like a bit of a gamble, so take them to the races, where they can not only bet on the horse but dress up at the same time. They like backgammon, mah-jongg, and cards. They play to win. If you can find an inconspicuous way to let them win, they’ll be on a high {which may pay off for you later}.
They are impressed by people who are informed about the arts. Try to find out what their particular artistic interest is and bone up on it.
They are not fastidious about details. They won’t care too much if your house is messy. They won’t notice the dust on the object d’art—so long as you have the objects.

Suggested opening lines: “I love your hair.” “There’s something about a man with a beard. Do you have it professionally trimmed?”

What to talk about: The latest shows, cultural events, large-scale fun escapades you’ve had, exotic vacations you’ve enjoyed and the collectibles you brought back. {Leo is one sign you can actually invite upstairs to see your etching—so get some.} Tell them the latest jokes—or get them to tell you a selection of theirs.

Where to take them: Grand events, French restaurants, premieres, vineyards, fashion shows, gallery openings, Persian carpet showrooms, antique shops, luxury resorts, shopping, out-of-state shopping or, even better, shopping overseas {especially if you can afford first-class tickets}. Leos would rather have a weekend at a five-star hotel than three weeks camping in idyllic surroundings.

What to give them: They love to deck themselves out with expensive jewelry, the best perfumes and colognes, anything form Saks or Bergdorf Goodman. They are not shy about letting you know what presents they would like, so keep notes on any dropped hints. You will be rated as mean and undesirable if you fail to deliver the goods. Fork them over and you could be rewarded. Don’t and you may be a has-been before you have been.

GEMINI
May 22nd to June 21st


I’m not schizophrenic –
We’re a Gemini.


The Lure of a Gemini

They bounce into the room already talking before the door opens. Their eyes sparkle as they tell you about their day, the class they just started and oh, how are you and where di you get that great shirt and how much did it cost and have you seen that new movie yet why don’t we catch it later no I thin I’d rather – that book looks interesting, can I borrow – oh, can I use your phone, I just need to make a quick –
You’ve just been hooked by the sparkle, vivacity and energy of a Gemini.
If you’re a refugee from a predictable, humdrum existence, Gemini is for you.
If you like sex to be bookended by lively conversation, Gemini is for you.
If you want someone who looks and thinks young for their age, Gemini is for you.
If you want to have a fling with someone who hasn’t got the time to feel guilty about it, Gemini could be the Sun sign for that too. They can be quite amoral {note: not immoral}. They also need and like lots of experiential titillation {which you will be required to provide let you be disposed of overnight, so watch out}.
If you want someone who can reach full sexual arousal in a breath and peak almost as quickly, consider the electric, spontaneous, vivacious Gemini. The quickie is a favorite course on their sexual menu.
Gemini women – and, to a lesser extent, the men – often have a delightful elfin or pixieish quality. Gemini women tend to be on the short side and rarely get fat. They often have a tomboyish {though not unfeminine} side.
If you are looking for an older, more experienced person, next to Capricorn, youthful qnd enthusiastic Gemini is your best bet. Whatever their age, if interested in you, they will approach sex and seduction with youthful vigor and enthusiasm. Moreover, they usually look five to ten years younger than their chronological age.
{In fact, many Geminis are a better value in their thirties and forties when they are more grounded, less ratty and less likely to be involved with shallow, unreliable people. In their youth, they can’t discriminate between hyperstimulation and quality – in people or in anything else. In consequence, they mismatch themselves simply because they are hooked on short-term trendiness, excitement and glamour.}
The symbol of the Gemini is the Twins. With Gemini you could be getting two – or three -- partners for the price of one, all in one trim, youthful package. What more could you want?


Spirit, I dont know where you got this from but it describes me down to a tee. :kiss: :kiss:

How to Interests a Virgo​


Loyalty, steadfastness, honesty, dependability, responsibility: these are what Virgo is looking for.

Key tip: A Virgo needs to trust you.

Impress them that you are honorable and can be counted on—that you don’t have terrible moods or unpredictable quirks, that you are even-tempered, equitable and constant. Come across as positively wholesome. They need to be certain they will never be confronted with any of the wild or even mildly rippled backwaters of your psyche. They don’t want any pebbles thrown into the smooth pond of their lives—and certainly no boulders.
A Virgo expects you to be dependable and orderly. Never be dirty, unkempt or {shudder!} smelly. They will note and rate the cleanliness of your hair, your socks, your underwear. They are capable of detecting stains usually invisible to the naked eye. You must be punctual and your deodorant must never let you down.
Only when your most admirable qualities have been firmly established in their minds can you move on to romance and intimacy.
Virgos have a very well-developed work ethic, so you need to impress them with your dedication to your job. Especially emphasize that you regard your work as making a contribution to society. Don’t tell them you work as a garbageman; tell them you are in the recycling industry. Don’t tell them you work for a wood-chipping company; tell them you work in resource management. Don’t tell them you are a prison warden; tell them you work in social rehabilitation. If you can’t think of a way in which your job actually helps others, moan about how frustrated you are because you could actually do other people a lot of good if only the bosses wouldn’t stop you from doing what needs to be done. Virgo will probably be able to identify with this.
All this is indispensable groundwork because when the time comes to get down to the sexual nitty-gritty, your Virgo needs to trust you 110 percent. They need to be convinced of your sense of duty and responsibility.
To match them, you’ll have to project your most altruistic, caring, genuine, orderly, modest front. Let’s face it, it could be a lot of work keeping up with all this goodness.
Virgos have neat, precise, ordered lives. They want someone who will fit in with this neatness, precision and order. This is why many Virgos end up with other Virgos – or opt for the single life.

Key tip number two: Never be the cause of “mess” in any of it’s wicked manifestations. Cleanliness is godliness. You must convince Virgo that not only will you not mess up their life—you will actually help raise neatness and organization to new heights. Insist on washing the dishes; volunteer to clean the bathroom. Remain vigilant for any opportunity to prove yourself a grade-A wiper, stacker, or scrubber. This will impress them.
Don’t invite them back to your own place unless it’s spotless.

Key tip number three: Avoid ostentation. Virgos don’t expect to be ostentatiously flattered or winded and dined just for the sake of display. That comes under the heading of “phony.” They don’t want phoniness. They want genuine… er….genuineness.

Suggested opening line: “Can I get you a napkin?”

What to talk about: Health, fitness, diet, “natural” products, work—they’re happy to discuss their work or your work. Tell them about the child you are supporting in a Third World country, any relative or friend who works for the underprivileged. Mention that you are a big supporter of Greenpeace and grow your own medicinal herbs.

Where to take them: Macrobiotic restaurants, walks in parks and in the woods, cycling, scenic restaurants in the mountains, picnics, weekends at health spas, historic buildings with wonderful gardens, public lectures.

What to give them: Health books, juice extractors, handmade wooden bowls, pottery, perfume –free no-animal-testing detergents and cosmetics, loofahs and back brushes, things for the garden, herbs in terra-cotta pots, herbal teas, herbariums, potpourris, English country-style wooden furniture, flowers—including dried ones.

Key tactic: Appear inordinately confident.

You cannot act too confident for a Leo. Don’t hesitate to ask for their phone number within 3 minutes of meeting them. You must seem coolly confident and in control. You need to have an air of certainty—certainty that they will feel attracted to you, that they will enjoy talking to you and, of course, will want to get to know you better.
Other Sun signs might see this as brash, even rude. Leos won’t, provided you handle it with panache.

Leos aren’t backward about coming forward. You can ask them out literally within minutes of being introduced. They’ll be impressed by your boldness and your air of authority.

Key tip #1: If you want to vroom, groom.
Before you can get undressed, you have to dress up. For the first date, turn yourself out impeccably. You don’t need to look trendy, but your clothes should reek of quality. They will secretly inspect the label on your jacket as you drape it over the chair.

Key tip #2: To get the best out of a Leo, your credit cards definitely need to be in good shape. Be prepared to spend and live the high life. Never forget that they love the best that life has to offer.

To get a Leo’s attention, tell them you love nothing more than going out and having a great time; you adore lavish dinners, dancing and the theater. On the first few dates, you must impress on them that you are seriously dedicated to la dolce vita. You love enjoying yourself and seeing other people enjoy themselves.
More than any other sign, they will notice not being shown the big time. They will take note of any reluctance to put your hand in your pocket. It’s their way of determining that you value them. For a Leo, generosity is next to godliness. When the time is right the best of Leos will return your gesture—often two or threefold.
Never quibble about the price of something in front of a Leo. They will see you as petty and vulgar. They themselves may well quibble about prices—but don’t you dare.
Above all: never come across as in any way miserly or a killjoy.
Leos’ Achilles’ hell is their hair. Male Leos often have a fetish for beards and mustaches, which will disappear and reappear with the seasons or their moods. Some are veritable Samsons and believe their virility lies in a bushy beard or thick, shiny hair.
Leo women love to have their hair done. When a Leo feels depressed, her first recourse is to call her hairdresser, who doubles as therapist. {Many hairdressers depend on coiffurd-obsessed Leo women for a substantial part of their income.} Woe betide if the Leo’s haircut turns out badly, she can become almost suicidal. If she has a new haircut, tell her how wonderful it is. If it’s a disaster, don’t say, “ No, no, it’s great. It’ll look even better in a week.”
You must never fail to flatter Leos about their hair or beard. And never give a Leo a small compliment. None of this understated “Oh, your hair looks nice.” No, no, no. the compliment has to be huge. “Your hair is fabulous. Where do you get it done? It looks absolutely fantastic.” Sotto voce, tell them, “Your hair drives me crazy. I want to run naked through your hair.”
Leos cannot get enough compliments: on their hair, clothes, eyes, teeth, anything you can think of. Unlike Aries, they won’t see this as the pathetic fawning of a lapdog. They will see it as their due, as an astute observation on your part. Yes, I am wonderful, aren’t I? Here is someone astute enough to recognize quality.
They love good wines. Rush to get them a glass and be there with refills. {There could, of course, be fringe benefits later in the evening.} They love the loosening effect of alcohol. Leos don’t mind getting a bit tipsy but insist on doing it with the best vintages and in good company. For them. Alcohol is a fun drug. They expect you to join them. If you’re a teetotaler, perhaps Leo is not for you. Consider a Virgo instead.
On all levels. Leos want their mate to be their match—in vitality, fun, glamour, passion, decadence.
Leos like a bit of a gamble, so take them to the races, where they can not only bet on the horse but dress up at the same time. They like backgammon, mah-jongg, and cards. They play to win. If you can find an inconspicuous way to let them win, they’ll be on a high {which may pay off for you later}.
They are impressed by people who are informed about the arts. Try to find out what their particular artistic interest is and bone up on it.
They are not fastidious about details. They won’t care too much if your house is messy. They won’t notice the dust on the object d’art—so long as you have the objects.

Suggested opening lines: “I love your hair.” “There’s something about a man with a beard. Do you have it professionally trimmed?”

What to talk about: The latest shows, cultural events, large-scale fun escapades you’ve had, exotic vacations you’ve enjoyed and the collectibles you brought back. {Leo is one sign you can actually invite upstairs to see your etching—so get some.} Tell them the latest jokes—or get them to tell you a selection of theirs.

Where to take them: Grand events, French restaurants, premieres, vineyards, fashion shows, gallery openings, Persian carpet showrooms, antique shops, luxury resorts, shopping, out-of-state shopping or, even better, shopping overseas {especially if you can afford first-class tickets}. Leos would rather have a weekend at a five-star hotel than three weeks camping in idyllic surroundings.

What to give them: They love to deck themselves out with expensive jewelry, the best perfumes and colognes, anything form Saks or Bergdorf Goodman. They are not shy about letting you know what presents they would like, so keep notes on any dropped hints. You will be rated as mean and undesirable if you fail to deliver the goods. Fork them over and you could be rewarded. Don’t and you may be a has-been before you have been.



hmmmmmmmmmmm....how interesting.........
 
How to Interest a Libra​



One difficulty in actually obtaining a Libran in the first place is that they are almost always in a relationship. They so hate to be seen as unattached that often they refuse to see themselves as totally single. They may still be sort of seeing Such-and-such while sort of going out with So-and-so. Accordingly, if you meet a Libran you have the hots for, and they are already technically “in a relationship,” consider presenting yourself as a prospect anyway.
This is the sign you are most likely to have to compete for. However, it is also the sign about which you can feel least morally squeamish when it comes to tossing your hat in the ring with a number of hats already lying there. Libra always has an eye out for an improved version of their current partner.

Key tactic number one: Flattery will get you everywhere.

You must find the right moments to compliment them on their appearance. Tell Ms. Libra she looks stunning, that she is the best-dressed woman there. If Ms. Libra tells you she made the dress herself, be astounded to the point of disbelief. Say you assumed she bought it in Paris or New York.
Admire Mr. Libra’s taste in shirts, his haircut, his earring. Ask him how often he works out at the gym. If he doesn’t, be amazed that he can look so great without working out every day.
While administering these compliments, you yourself must be at your most elegant. If in any doubt, rush home, grab the iron, raid your wardrobe and return looking great before approaching the Libran object of your desires.
Librans insist on having a partner who is refined. They have to believe that you understand fine and beautiful things—especially when it comes to your dress sense. The thongs-and-T-shirt brigade need not apply. A Libran can detect thirty percent polyester at fifty paces.
You may need to work on your etiquette and study up on which wine goes with which dish. If you know the difference between sauce béarnaise and sauce béchamel, they will dreadfully impressed..

Key tactic number two: Immediately start talking about relationships.

Remember that Librans are into togetherness. Their relationship is the most important thing in their lives. The first thing a Libran wants to know about you is: “Are you in a relationship?”
Never simply answer yes or no. It’s no that simple—at least not to a Libran.

Choose from the following list:

“I’m sort of seeing someone but it’s not working out.”

“I’m sort of seeing someone but I don’t know where it’s headed.”

“I’m sort of dating a couple of people but it’s nothing really serious.”

“I was sort of seeing someone but I found out they were married.”

“I sort of just met somebody but I know it’s not going to work out.”

At this stage, to improve your prospects, talk about how much a relatioinship means to you, how being in a relationship is the most important thing in your life, how you want to share everything in your life with a partner, how you need a fulfilling relationship to be a fulfilled person and have a fulfilling life, etc., ad nauseam.
You are now a potential partnership prospect.
Now pose one or all of the following questions:

“Are you in a relationship?”

“Are you waiting for someone?”

“Are you free tomorrow evening?”

Key tactic number three: Present yourself as a demi-god or goddess of desirability.

Librans thrive on derived status. Aries {the opposite sign to Libra} wants to be the star. Libra wants to be married to the star—or at least be photographed with them.
If they can see you’re Hot Property, they’ll want you to become their property. How you appear to be Hot Property is up to you. Perhaps you are beautiful or handsome. Perhaps you’re rich. Perhaps other people are chasing you. Perhaps you are talented and heading for the big time. Perhaps you are in the big time. Or perhaps you have the talent for appearing to be one of these things when you’re not.
One warning her is that if you do succeed in becoming this Adonis or Aphrodite of desirability, the Libran mind will immediately leap to thoughts of marriage.
One final tip {tacky but true}: The recently divorced Libran is a pushover. Even more so if they are separated but not yet divorced.

Suggest opening line: “Are you waiting for someone?”

What to talk about: Relationships, fashion, who’s getting married to whom, who’s getting unmarried, who’s doing what to whom, who’s happy and who’s unhappy, who’s seeing a therapist, Hollywood gossip about which star is doing what to whom.

Where to take them: The ballet, balls, elegant stores, elegant restaurants with impeccable service where the presentation of the food is as important as the taste, perhaps Japanese, the lobby or bars of elegant five-star hotels where they can sip drinks and be seen, back to your place for advice on interior decoration—your drapes, your cushion covers, your bed linens.

What to give them {making sure it’s beautifully wrapped}: Mirrors, books on relationships and interior design, silk scarves, ties, roses, crystal vases, expensive jewelry, perfume, fine leather goods, gift certificates for top department stores, clothes storage systems, the most expensive sewing machine on the market.
 

Key tactic: Scorpios are interested in everything dark, hidden and mysterious. So the trick is to present yourself as precisely that: dark, hidden and mysterious

Start wearing dark glasses—especially at night. If you are a man trying to attract a Scorpionic woman, sport a permanent two-day growth and develop a Jack Nicholson persona. If you’re a woman trying to attract a Scorpionic male, play the vamp—black miniskirts, black tops with oozing cleavage, musky perfume and provocative makeup. Dark colors signal a sense of mystery to Scorpios. Invest in a wardrobe of black clothes with a dash of whorehouse red.
Scorpios want to feel that you find them captivating. Scorpios love to stare at people. Stare back. Practice this in your bathroom mirror—staring intensely. See if you can add a glint of wickedness.
Try telling your Scorpio that there is something about them which intrigues you but you can’t quite put a finger on it…yet. Or say that the first time you saw them, you just knew you had been in a past life together. Or, if this is too much for you, tell them that they are exactly like someone you had a wild dream about two months ago. {If this is too much for you, so is the Scorpio—find another Sun sign.}
If they press you for details about this past life as {or dream}, smile enigmatically. “Oh, I’ll need to know you a lot better before I can talk about that one.”
Tell them a psychic told you that you had a past life as {choose from the following list}: a Tibetan monk who used to slip down to the local village to break his vow of celibacy, an Indian medicine man killed in a fight with the chief for control of the tribe, the right-hand man of Alexander the Great, a slaveowner in the South who took sexual advantage of his/her possessions, an Egyptian temple dance who was seduced by the pharaoh, a Chicago gangster’s moll who ratted on her man to the police, a sacred prostitute in an Atlantean temple who killed the head priest after he ravished her.
Even if your Scorpio doesn’t believe in reincarnation—or simply doesn’t believe your story—they will still be interested and see you as interesting.
They are fascinated by power, so it is a good idea to emphasize anything in your current life that demonstrates you exercise power over others. For instance, you may be an elementary school teacher. If they ask you what your job is, you don’t say, “I’m an elementary school teacher.” You say, “I shape and manipulate young minds. I get a real buzz from it.” Don’t say you’re an accountant; say, “I organize the management of huge amounts of money.” If this makes them suspect that you may be involved in laundering lucre for shady concerns—so much the better. Don’t say you’re a computer programmer; say, “I control information for a multinational company.” No need to elaborate too much on your career. Remember, you have to appear mysterious.
If they ask you what you do, another good tactic is to just raise an eyebrow, lower your voice, smile ever so slightly and whisper, “Everything,” that should get their interest.
They adore people close to a source of political and financial power. Drop the names of a few political figures or business magnates you know {or your close friends know}. Tell them about any big killings you have made in business.
The idea way to keep a Scorpio interested is to create conversations that are a mixture of psychology, sex and power.
Talk about Freud.
They love a hint of the wicked—they won’t be attracted to you if they don’t think you’re wicked enough. They want to see that unmistakable glint in your eye.
To get them really interested, perhaps you could drop some mention of sexual mysteries or secret techniques that you might have tried—tantric sex, Taoist sex or sex magic. Guaranteed to intrigue them.

Suggest opening line: “I feel as if I’ve met you before. Did you have a past incarnation in the West during the Indian massacres?”

What to talk about: Big money, politics, the stock market, investments, sex, psychology, power—all aspects of power, any sort of mystical or psychic experience you’ve had, Freud, Jung, hypnosis, death, near-death experiences, your past lives.

Where to take them: Power lunches, executive breakfasts, your astrologer, tarot card readings, cathedrals, sleazy bars, psychic channelers, horror movies, the bedroom!

What to give them: Whodunits, true crime books, books on the occult, crystals, books on sex and psychology, tarot cards, runes, astrology books, books on investments, vibrators, books on ancient Egypt or Atlantis or reincarnation, black or red sexy lingerie, textured condom.
 
The Lure of a Sagittarius

.... Mind you, by a bizarre twist of Sagittarian logic, they are totally intolerant of people whom they regard as intolerant. ...
LOL!!!..............Quite true.

How to Interest a Sagittarius

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/578.gif

Key tactic: Come across as if you’ve overdosed on positive affirmation tapes.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System. In accordance with this grand scale, Sagittarians want a partner who thinks big. To catch a Sagittarian, it is good idea to present yourself as an entrepreneurial type: someone with big goals and ambitious plans for achieving them.
Sagittarius is the sign of travel and foreign cultures. So talk about your experiences in exotic places. If you’ve spent a few months in an ashram, a night in a pyramid or a weekend in Zanzibar, great. Blow it up out of all proportion.
If you haven’t traveled much yet {say “yet”—thinking positively}, talk about any hobby that shows your transcultural awareness: Tai Chi lessons, Egyptian belly dancing, Thai cooking, American Indian sweat lodges, whatever. Especially mention any foreign languages you know: an ideal tactic would be to talk about the language you are currently learning for your next overseas jaunt. Hint at expeditions to Bhutan, Tibet, Tunisia.
Bring them back to your place to show them photos of your travels. Sagittarius is one of the few signs you could seriously invite over to watch the two-hour video of your trip up the Nile.
Sagittarius will always be possessed by some cause. They are great ones for jumping on bandwagons. {Mind you, they jump from one bandwagon to another pretty frequently.} Find out what their current cause is and be equally fanatical about it. Join Greenpeace. Do not dare question any aspect of the current cause. For instance, if it’s saving every tree in the world, don’t dare say, “Well, we do need some trees for houses and furniture.” This will put them right off. You must adopt the cause single-mindedly and mindlessly. You must be totally committed and totally positive.
Sagittarians love to feel they got a bargain on something. They love the atmosphere of markets and thrift shops. Picking up something exotic or rare for a song gives them a sense of triumph {Not to mention being able to put their savings toward their next foreign expedition or entrepreneurial scheme.} One good way to interest them is to help them get a bargain on something they want or to swap notes about how to get the best deals in travel.
They usually come across as friendly. They are easy to make overtures to. If they are interested in you, they won’t be shy, so directness is recommended. Forget coy. Ask them for a date at the first meeting.
A good way in is to suggest an ethnic nosh. “Do you like Thai food? I know a great place. How about tonight?”
Say “tonight” rather than “tomorrow” because they respect impulsiveness and because they’re probably buys tomorrow night. Already you are someone who “goes with the flow.” This is one aspect of thinking positively.
And if the restaurant is cheap, they won’t think you’re cheap. They’ll think you’re savvy. They like their dating partners to be au fait with where the interesting restaurants, places and people are.
Another good opening line is: “Come up and see my etchings”—if you made the etchings yourself. Sagittarians are impressed by talent—artistic, business, intellectual. They expect that sexual talent will accompany these other talents.
Sagittarians tend to over-schedule their lives. If their diary isn’t jam-packed, they feel that life is passing them by. You too should come across as having a full timetable. “Oh, that night’s difficult. No, no, I can reschedule that. Yes, okay, we can do that night.” This is important evidence that you are enthusiastic. Expect Sagittarius to have to schedule you in and don’t be put off if you must wait a week before they can find time for your first date.

Suggested opening line: “Let’s get out of this place and go dancing.”

What to talk about: Travel, foreign cultures, meditation, philosophy, positive thinking and self-improvement classes, global consciousness, entrepreneurial schemes, politics, religion, Taoism, feminism, spiritualism, environmentalism, capitalism, Marxism, racism, sexism—just about any ism you can think of….

Where to take them: Meditation classes, bookshops, ethnic restaurants, fund-raisers for refugees, free films on Himalayan adventures, camping, bungee-jumping, horseback riding, Hare Krishna restaurants, flea markets, a lecture by a visiting Tibetan lama. Sagittarians have such broad interests, you can take them just about anywhere.

What to give them: Glossy travel books, art books, books on the latest intellectual fad, luggage, camera equipment, gift certificates for a parasailing or parachuting course, something useful and portable they caqn take when traveling, ethnic objects d’art—a Tibetan prayer wheel, Moroccan lamp, batiks. Many Sagittarians have a favorite mode of transport—a motorcycle, a superior car, a horse. See if you can give a present to suit.

 
How to Interest a Capricorn

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/590.gif


No trumpet-blowing Capricorn knows that real achievers never blow their own horn. Wait for them to draw you out on your talents and successes. Capricorns are impressed above all by the self-made individual. Once they start to ask questions, emphasize what you have done for yourself in finding your own way in the world. Rick boys and rich girls who play at working fill them with ennui and contempt.
They hate sham, name-dropping and shallowness. Nor are they impressed by the gaudy. You think your trendy sports car impresses a Capricorn? If you own a sports car but you don’t own your own home, Capricorn will not regard the flashy car as a turn-on; they will regard it as a sign that you are an idiot. You’d impress them far more with a reliable older car and a house you are paying off and renovating on weekends.
If you have money, great. But never come across as a nouveau riche spendthrift frittering away money to make an impression. That will not impress.
Capricorns have a high regard for quality and long-term investments. This is how they will assess you when they size you up as a sexual prospect. Capricorns are certainly capable of the short-term affair, but they want to know that the long-term effects of a short-term affair will be good. What would be the ultimate value in a wild fling that destroyed their long-term career prospects? Ridiculous. A waste of time and a threat to their precious reputation. What would be the use of a brief affair if it ended up with the other person hating you? Terribly silly idea.

Key tactic number one: You must convince the Capricorn that you area mentally solid individual who, should the affair come to an end, will not engage in acts of vengeance, public screaming matches, nervous breakdowns, legal action or suicide attempts, but instead will behave discreetly, honorably, and truthfully and will ideally remain their friend.​

Capricorn is a risk calculator. No matter how physically attracted they are to you, they will assess whether you are worth the risk. You have to convince them you are. If you’re after spontaneous abandon with minimal thought for the consequences, find yourself a Gemini or Sagittarian…

Key tactic number two: Convince them that you are a person of genuine quality. Impress them with your honesty, your self-control, your consistency—all virtues highly esteemed by Capricorn.​

Leave your outrageous clothing at the back of the closet. No T-shirts with suggestive slogans, no jeans that reveal anatomical details, nothing vulgar.
Capricorns harbor a secret attraction to glamour—not flashiness or trendiness, but high-quality glam. If you can make a glamorous addition to their establishment image and have the genuine inner qualities they prize, Capricorn will be putty in your hands.
You must be perceived as good for their reputation. They want other people to see their partner as a person of outer and inner quality.
Remember that it is long-term reliability and quality they want—from possessions, from life and from you. Make it clear that you can take care of yourself, that you’re not looking to be kept.
Capricorns see the sense in buying something that costs a lot but lasts a lifetime rather than something cheap that will be discarded in a few years. If the conversation turns to what you own, talk about the house you are paying off, the refrigerator that will work for decades, the antique table that will quadruple in value when you’ve restored it, your first editions, your antique jewelry.
All Capricorns want to make their mark on the world. Ask them about their career and where they plan to be in five years’ time—or fifteen years’ time. They’re not interested in retirement. Retirement is for wimps. Achievers keep on achieving. Tell them you never intend to retire. A sure way to lose a Capricorn’s interest is to talk longingly about giving up work for good.
Capricorns are circumspect with money. There are some whose frugality develops into arthritis of the purse finger. However, most Capricorns are not intrinsically mean. It’s true they are not given to wildly spontaneous generosity and rarely splurge on themselves, but if you are valued, they will spend money on you…wisely and thoughtfully. The very big substantial plus of Capricorn gifts is that they are gifts. They are not down payments on return gifts or future favors.

Suggested Opening Line: “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said about ---------. You’ve obviously got a good grasp on the issues. I spent three years working in this area. If you’re interested we could lunch tomorrow and I could tell you about the latest research we’ve been doing in---------.”

What to talk about: In public, personal and intimate matters are strictly verboten. Instead, seek their opinion on the state of the word: business, politics, the effects of the latest government policy, the state of the economy. Don’t try to engage them in hot debate. Most Capricorns can’t see the sense in argument for argument’s sake—save that for a Gemini. Ask their advice about something personal or professional. They will usually give level-headed advice culled from years of serious thought. Make it obvious that you value their opinions and you will have made a very deep impression. Remember: don’t trot out your achievements until asked.
In private, after the relationship has started, you can talk about almost anything—especially sex.

Where to take them: Classy restaurants with quiet atmosphere and good service, antiques shops, historical estates, concerts, plays {especially comedies}, musicals, evening in front of the fire. Capricorns are usually open to new experiences, but avoid the weird, the wacky and the tacky.

What to give them: A Capricorn takes note when you have put thought or physical effort into a gift. Take extra care to obtain something for them that they really want. If they own something that has worn out after decades of use, but them a new, significantly improved model—Capricorns are always lookinf for improvement in all aspects of life.
Just as good or even better: make them something. They appreciate the investment of time and work. Your rewards could be great indeed. Go for something practical and comfortable rather than purely decorative: hand-knit sweaters, bookcases, cushions, doorstops, Avoid chintz and froufrou. Go for functional, not fussy.
Consider presents associated with getting organized and with time: clocks {especially antiques}, pocket watches, wristwatches, electronic organizers, diaries, answering machines, filing cabinets, desk organizers, briefcases, leather wallets and purses. Consider fine arts and collectibles—reproductions from museums and galleries. Victorian jewelry, an antique chair or cabinet. Consider fine things to wear: a silk tie, expensive black silk underwear. Capricorns look good in dark colors: black, dark blue, rich dark red.

How to Interest an Aquarius

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/593.gif

Key Tactic: Come across as being independent, individualistic and ahead of your time.​

Aquarians are looking for someone beyond the norm. you have to strike them as being a cut about the mundane. It could be that you have made a million from ethical investments-that would intrigue them. But it might fascinate them just as much if you were a dropout from the civil service eking out a living painting waterproof pictures on surfboards and planning how to turn this into an international business.
Artists, people on the fringe of mainstream society and those in the vanguard of new fields fascinate them: composers, poets, spokesperson for minority groups, refugees, drug counselors, research scientists.
They are interested in the bizarre and unusual. Quickly slip into the conversation some mention of one of your unique talents or interests that is well beyond steak-and potatoes suburbia.
Even if they themselves don’t have the guts or opportunity to drop out and say to hell with the establishment, they admire tremendously people who do. So make scathing remarks about yuppies and their trendoid habitats—boardrooms, BMWs, dance clubs and Club Med. Declare disdain for whatever is popular at the moment. Highlight the odd and eccentric in your nature. Lay bare your antiestablishment tendencies. Reveal your countercultural tastes. Drape yourself in Moroccan or Tibetan clothing or jewelry, wear Indian sandals, talk about the ashram you lived in for six months, your investment in a water-purifier factory, the book you’re reading on how people who drop out of college are smarter and make more money, how you’re writing a computer program on stock-market cycles.
Don’t appear limited, predictable, average, boring or conformist.
Earning a big salary or being rich is desirable—after all, money buys the freedom Aquarians love so much—but make sure they know you’ve got a nonconformist streak. A combination dropout and financial genius. Great! A self-made software-wizard millionaire who wears frayed jeans and is not macrobiotics. Divine! A rich hippie. Perfect!
If you do happen to work for multinational or you’re {shudder!} a civil servant, make sure they realize you are a force for change within the bosom of the establishment. Admit you’ve got a reputation as a rebel. Aquarians love to send up the establishment, especially if they’re part of it themselves. Your biting new joke about politicians or public figures could be very well received.
Aquarians have no time for social sham—your Giorgio Armani won’t necessarily impress. They can be quite stingy—and tasteless—when it comes to their own clothing. This is why some middle-aged Aquarians look like remnants from the sixties; often they are still wearing the jeans, sandals and shoulder bag they wore to Woodstock or Ban-the-Bomb marches.

Key tip:​
The way to get an Aquarian interested in you is primarily through their passion for talking.​

They like a good talker and a good listener. They are good listeners themselves because they are interested in everyone and everything—but they expect to be listened to as well.
Don’t hesitate to plunge tongue-first into intense exchanges on politics, sex or religion. There are no inhibitions in Aquarian conversations. When you sense you’ve hit on a subject they are passionate about say, “I’m really into this, you know. I really want to know more about it. Why don’t I come around to your place tomorrow with a bottle of wine and some take-out Chinese so we can talk some more?” Aquarians love a free meal and usually don’t enjoy cooking, so the prospect of your bringing over the food and wine will be most appealing.
The next morning, quickly bone up on whatever the topic of conversation was. {Probably how to fix the world, how to get rich quick, hot to drop out of society—or how to do all three simultaneously.}
Aquarians are very big on how to fix the world. Please note that this does not mean they are interested in getting involved in hands-on stuff. They have strong opinions on what should be done to help the Third World but don’t feel compelled to go there personally and distribute food to the starving—and so risk coming face-to-face with malaria, tuberculosis and exotic microbes.
Another worthwhile ploy is to find out in advance that they are an Aquarian, then positively stun them by “guessing” their Sun sign. Tell them you are studying astrology and that you’d like to apply your burgeoning skills to their horoscope. You’re certain their horoscope must contain unique, if not extraordinary, aspects. The average Aquarian will glow at the mention of their uniqueness. They’ll also be tempted by the idea of a free reading.

Suggested opening line: “Hi, I’m….I had to come over and say hello because you have this aura of great energy. Can I get you a drink?”

What to talk about: The New World Order, the future of the United Nations, protest marches, the need for personal freedom, the social impact of computers and other new technology, social and power dynamics at your work or their work or anywhere else, ethically sound investments, conspiracy theories, whether Big Brother is watching us, how to make a lot of money easily and drop out and grow your own vegetables, the latest machinations in Washington, Marxism, the price of gold, the stock market.

Where to take them: Coffee shops for intense talks, restaurants {remember Aquarians only cook under duress}, back to your place for a meal cooked by you, Greenpeace meetings, Amnesty International meetings, bookshops, weekend flea markets, most New Age venues. Aquarians can be more than a bit allergic to what they see as the close suffocating aspects of personal relationships, so don’t make the mistake of taking them to visit your mother with a view to sitting around making small talk over tea and scones.

What to give them: Ethnic jewelry and clothing, crystal pendants, a futon, unusual decorative items or curios either antique or futuristic, books on popular science, books on science fiction, books on where the world and humanity is heading, personal growth books, books on contemporary gurus, books on inventions, books on how to think and grow rich, books on avant-garde poets—in fact, books on just about anything.

To Catch a Fishie,
First Know Your Variety

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_12_9.gif

The symbol of Pisces is two fish moving in opposite directions: one swimming up to spiritual heights, one swimming down into decadence and physical indulgence.
Two planets rule Pisces: Neptune and Jupiter.
Neptune is the planet of compassion and self-denial. Kindness is the greatest Piscean virtue. Neptune draws the Pisces up into the highest reaches of the mystical and imaginative. The downside of Neptune can draw them into fantasy, escapism, living in their heads, living with their heads in books; it can even lead them into alcohol and drug dependency—in fact, it can lead them into anything but dealing with the practicalities of everyday life.
Pisceans share their other ruling planet, Jupiter with Sagittarians. Like Sagittarians, Pisceans have a philosophic streak and believe in the value of a good time. But Jupiter can draw the aimless, negative sort of Piscean into overindulgence in worldly pleasures and fatuous socializing. Instead of escaping into the spiritual realms, they escape into the material world. Pisceans are well represented in the ranks of shopaholics, gamblers and soap-opera addicts. Anything to filter out harsh reality.
As the last sign of the Zodiac, Pisces incorporates elements of all the previous eleven signs. One astrologer has called it “the garbage can of the Zodiac. This can make Pisces the hardest sign to pick—it also makes it the hardest sign to give specific advice about.
That’s why the first step in handling a Piscean is: know your variety of fish.

Pisces dropoutus—This fishie will not be found in the fast-running streams of worldly interests; it needs to be searched for in the deep backwaters of esoteric bookshops, weekend flea markets, beaches at sunset, double-feature movies, church choirs and ashrams.

Pisces misteriozus—Rarely found in schools, this variety is a slow-moving, solitary fish that can be found in deep pools, exploring the profound spiritual undercurrents of life.

Pisces spongeoffus—This is a blood-sucking fishie that tries to latch on to a large, more stable fishie and draw off its food, its energies, its dwelling place, its finances and its practical abilities.

Pisces superficialis—A lively fishie found exclusively in shallow waters, this one is easily lured by baubles, beads, bright lights and noisy parties.
