A question... where is your moon and Asc.? Just wondering.

The Lure of a Capricorn

Reliable, solid, practical, serious, disciplined, reserved, dignified, status-conscious, decent, sensible.

If you think this sounds boring, think again.
If you suspect that such an individual couldn’t do much for your previously unsatisfied passions, please reconsider.

Capricorn is reputed to have the strongest sex drive in the Zodiac.

If you want someone in your life who is upright, honorable and dependable, and yet behind closed doors has a voracious sexual appetite, consider Mr. or Ms. Capricorn. They are unlikely to let you down—either in or out of the bedroom.

How to Interest a Capricorn

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. Rich 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 a trendy sports car impresses a Cappy? If you own a sports car but you don’t own your own home, Cappys will not regard the flashy car as a turn-on; they will regard it as a sign that you are an idiot.

What to give them: A Capricorn takes note when you have put thought or physical effort into a gift. Take extra car to obtain something for them that they really want.

Just as good or even better: make them something. They appreciate the investment of time and work.

How to Seduce a Capricorn

The two key words here are “privacy” and “discretion.”

Forget backseats of cars, open fields, beaches at night—all too risky and exhibitionistic for Capricorns. You must get them behind closed doors—preferably locked and bolted as well. Even a five-star hotel could be too public….

Discretion strikes them as sensible. It may not work out—why should other people know about something that may not last? Why should other people know anyway? Discretion helps them protect their feelings and public image.

Key Tip: The most important thing for them to know about you is that you are 100% psychologically stable—not the least bit bonkers. It is crucial to appear emotionally together.

I haven’t been with a Cappy, so I’ll pick one

Seduction 2: The Implicit Contract

While the overture to the Capricorn must be low-key, the rest of the seduction should be characterized by directness: A B.S. free seduction.

Capricorns find the game-playing associated with the seductions of other signs more than a bit childish. They find so-called romantic moves vacuous, fatuous and embarrassingly juvenile.

Nevertheless, you should approach your Cappy target with respect. In turn, they will respect you more if you don’t pretend you’re not after what you’re after.

Key Tip: Directness with decorum

Accordingly, you should be looking to home in at the first sign that the time is right. Remember that Cappy is highly sexed and quickly aroused and hates wasting time. This is a sign likely to understand and honor the implicit contract involved in questions like “Would you like to come back to my place for a cup of coffee?” The archetypal Cappy understands that there is a sexual offer behind such a proposal and will not say yes obtusely.

Sex with a Capricorn

Once the bedroom door is shut and they can drop their public persona with their pants, Cappy is unlikely to be shy.

Cappys want all aspect of their lives to improve with time and practice—and that includes sex. They can’t understand people who say, “Well, you can’t expect it to be as good as it was in the beginning.” Of course they can’t understand. Capricorns expect it to get better. Capricorns believe everything improves with practice. Lots of practice. Lots and lots of it.

At their best, they are highly educable, always willing to learn new things and usually very attentive to the needs of their partner. They aim to give satisfaction.

Also says they have huge sexual appetites and that you have to keep their attention diverted from work.

How to Handle a Relationship with a Capricorn

Capricorn is a sign of hidden depths. That stoic Cappy with the efficient manner, the responsible attitude, the rational approach to life, the career, the ambitions—who would suspect the sexual beast under the business suit? Who would guess the grandiose dreamer behind the restrained façade?

Key Tip: Convince them that they are appreciated—that you see and value their virtues.

Capricorns need to be persuaded that they are appreciated by their current partner. This is one of the Sun signs most easily persuaded that they are being taken for granted. Always thank them. Tell them frequently how much they add to your life.

Must-Do’s

Draw a clear line between your private and public lives

No-No’s

Never criticize them in public. Loyalty is highly prized among Capricorns. Save any criticism for a private moment.

How to End a Relationship with a Capricorn

The key to ending a relationship with a Cappy is honesty and integrity. Capricorns can forgive a lot. When you break up with them, it may crack their stoic hearts for a while; their stiff upper lip will tremble. Even so, it generally won’t alter their high opinion of you. But….

You can throw up on their brand new carpet, you can even insult their taste in music and they won’t blink. But….

Capricorn is actually one of the most tolerant signs. They have been known to put up with foibles that would make other signs murderous. But….

But… if you lie to a Cappy, if you break promises to a Cappy, if you repay loyalty with disloyalty, if you cheat them financially or, worst of the worst, if you go around gossiping behind a Capricorns back, revealing embarrassing personal details or casting aspersions on their integrity… well, you deserve what you get.

Are you tired of partners who want to own you body and soul? Who want to monopolize all your free time? Are you weary of relationships in which you feel trapped? Wouldn’t you just love a relationship with someone who wasn’t trying to handcuff you to them? With someone who really, truly understands your need to be free and to be your own person?

Well, consider the attractions of breezy, independent, unpossessive Aquarius.

Indeed, their emotional aloofness and detachment can drive people positively wild with a desire to get them on their backs—or stomachs.

How to Interest an Aquarius

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 above the mundane. It could be 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, spokepersons 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.

What to give them: Ethnic jewelry and clothing, unusual decorative items or curios either antique or futuristic.

How to Seduce an Aquarius

There is only one commandment for those who set out to seduce an Aquarian: “Verily thou shalt impress deeply upon them that thou art not out to entrap then nor doth thou intend to move in with them nor art thou out to change their lifestyle in even the smallest way.”

Make sure they fully realize you don’t equate a naughty weekend with a prenuptial agreement. Aquarians have a cautious eye out for anyone trying to annex their freedom. This aversion to feeling fenced in often keeps Aquarians celibate for long periods. This is the sign most likely to pull back from togetherness and sentimentality. They like to have an escape hatch ready and waiting.

Be prepared to help talk them through all their emotional doubts about jumping into the sack with you. Some Aquarians, sensing their own need for freedom, will be worried that they only feel lust toward you and will worry about “using” you.

If they express this worry, say, “Use me.”

I don’t know anything about the Aquas in this department. However, this one reminds me of a g/f I have who is an Aqua.

Seduction 2: Seduction by Humor

Humor is a tried-and-true tool in Aquarian seductions. It can be used to relax the Aquarian’s grip on their free-flight joystick. They love the over-the-top bizarre. If you can exploit this and get them laughing, they you’ve got them halfway to bed.

Seduction 2(b): The We’ll-Have-Nun-of-This. Come dressed as a nun or a monk. Tell them you are entering a convent/seminary the next day and you’ve come for a first and final fling before taking your vows. Say that you’re a virgin and must experience sex so that you know what it is you’re renouncing. Tell them you need something worth confessing for the next forty years.

Sex with an Aquarius

If Aquarians shy away from intimacy, it is not because they don’t want sex.
They are the ones most likely to say, “I’m sleeping with So-and-so, but we’re not really having a relationship… it’s nothing serious… I’m not ready for anything too heavy.”

Indeed, attempts to make them emotionally intimate and to get them to open up may turn them off sexually.

What they often want is wild experimental sex so long as it doesn’t involve any danger of their exposing themselves emotionally.

They like to be surprised by the new and unexpected. Read through all the seductions in this book. Try out as many as possible on your Aquarian partner. The unpredictability will keep their interest for a long time.

Also says you could use gadgets with them…. That their bodies are shyer than minds.

How to Handle a Relationship with an Aquarius

Key Tactic: Don’t make too many demands on them

The way to go is free and easy. Observe the great Aquarian maxim: Hang loose.

Never say, “I’m her boyfriend,” or “I’m his girlfriend.” Too possessive. It can make them feel trapped—as if you were staking a claim. Expect them to introduce you as “a friend”—and introduce yourself that way.

They are not big touchers and cuddlers. They find it cloying. At parties, don’t stick to them like a Band-Aid, don’t put your arm around them too often, don’t stop them from mingling.

Even though they are the “freedom freaks” of the Zodiac, they are also a fixed Sun sign—one of the major areas of their fixity being freedom. They will doggedly cling to their right to be flexible and loose.

You must expect your Aquarian to have some wacky habits. They are famous for frying bacon and eggs or ordering pizza at 3 a.m. Many of their meals can’t easily be labeled breakfast, lunch or dinner. “Play it by ear” is their watchword. You should always call up before a prearranged date to confirm that it is still on and that they are still in the mood and still living in the same place.

Must-Do’s

Be self-sufficient; they hate having demands made on them

No-No’s

Never expect to be the only interest in their lives

How to End a Relationship with an Aquarius

You don’t usually have to worry on this score—most likely, they’ll break up with you.

Aquarians are notorious for having difficulties with long-term, committed relationships. They have been known to disappear overnight (even after years of marriage) or simply stop calling. When you eventually phone them, you may find yourself in a superficial conversation that makes you feel like a casual acquaintance calling for the first time in months. “Oh, hello—how are you?”

The Lure of a Pisces

If you’ve been spiritually, emotionally or even physically mangled by an aggressive Aries, a critical Virgo or a manipulative Scorpio, you might like to try a gentle, sympathetic Pisces.

Pisces are normally shy, diffident, compassionate, caring people who like to give out sympathy and support nearly as much as they like to receive them.

The Pisceans personality can be hard to pin down. They adapt to the moods and characters of others. Some are veritable Zeligs, able to undergo complete character transformations depending on the company they are in. It’s not that they are having a spontaneous identity crisis. They are pulling out of their personality file the card that they need to relate to you.

The Piscean is a vulnerable and sensitive soul, notoriously poor in the selection of sexual partners. Suggestible, even gullible, they can easily be taken for a ride by less scrupulous signs—don’t you be one of them.

To Catch a Fish, First Know Your Variety

The symbol of the Pisces is two fish moving in opposite directions: one swimming up to a spiritual height, one swimming down into decadence and physical indulgence.

Two planets rule Pisces: Neptune and Jupiter

As the last sign of the Zodiac, Pisces incorporates elements of al the previous eleven signs. One astrologer has called it “the garbage can of the Zodiac.” More kindly, we may think of Pisces as the melting pot of the Zodiac. This can make Pisces the hardest sign to pick—it also makes it the hardest sign to give specific advice about.

NOTE: You can tell. If I posted what advice it “did” give, than I’d have copied everything from this chapter.

How to Interest the Pisces

To get a Piscean interested, you need to tread a fine line between the ethereal and the sensual.

You need to come across as caring and good but still sexy and wicked. They must suspect that you are erotic Hot Property, but they also want to be reassured that the spiritual side of your nature is strong.

A male Pisces is looking for a cross between Florence Nightingale and Greta Garbo. A female Piscean is looking for a cross between Phil Donahue and Tarzan. So present yourself as a sexual beast with a heart of gold: the heart of Mother Teresa inside the bodice of Madonna; the soul of St. Francis inside the body of Jean Claude Van Damme.

Key Tip: Above all else, you must persuade them that you have a good heart. If you can convince them of this, they will forgive you for a lot of physical and even social flaws.

What to give them: Pisceans like things they can enjoy at home alone: CD’s, candles, things to do with water, a fountain

How to Seduce a Pisces

A warning here is that many Pisceans are very intuitive—so they may know about your intentions almost before you do.

Pisceans like to be assured that they are sexually attractive—whether they feel attracted to you or not. Quite early on, tell them you find some aspect of their anatomy very arousing. “You’ve got beautiful eyes. You’ve got fabulous lips. What great hair.” They can be a bit shy and coy about receiving such compliments, but they will hear and remember.

Pisceans love to feel comfortable all over. There is an easy progression form the comfortable to the sensual and from there to the sexual and passionate. Make them comfortable and they may well let you lead them all the way down the primrose path. Accordingly, the first key tactic in seducing a Pisces is: provide warmth and comfort.

I’ve never slept with a Pisces … so I’ll pick one
Seduction 4: The Bath

Pisceans have an incurable weakness for water. As we said before, it is a small Piscean step from the sensuous to the sexual, and nothing is more sensual for a Piscean than the Bath. The Bath is a bona fide Piscean sex aid. It is a Piscean institution, a religious ritual.

Here are some ways to use this to your advantage:
Find out their bath time. It will usually be on a regular schedule. Pisceans hate having their daily timetable of eating, sleeping and bathing disturbed.

Contrive to arrive when they have just had a bath—when they are warm, glowing and freshly dusted with talcum powder. Move to Seduction 1, 2 or 6. Or try something bolder. Knock on their door when they have just climbed into the tub. Assuming they don’t leave you standing there (a genuine possibility by the way), they will come to the door wrapped only in a towel or robe and primarily interested in getting right back into their precious bath. Now say, “Good evening,” remove your clothes and attempt to join them in the bath. Or ask politely, “Can I be of any assistance?” then remove your clothes and climb in.

Sex with a Pisces

Sensuality rather than raw manic passion is the primary desire of your typical Piscean. They need lots of nurturing, yet they want a strong, technically excellent lover too.

Aim to get a Piscean into a position in which all they have to do is lie back, indulge and succumb. They favor the soft rather then athletic side of sex. They want to languidly enjoy it rather than feel that they’ve just done the equivalent of a four-minute mile.

They often have an intuitive touch. You might find that certain parts of you anatomy receive loving attention they haven’t enjoyed for a long time. You’ll love the times they roll you over and say, “Just lie back and enjoy it.”

Like Virgos, Pisceans want you clean—but they also like moisture, including sweat. The thought of two sweaty bodies meeting can be quite a turn-on. You might even try two oiled-up bodies.

Also says that Pisces woman is notoriously fertile

How to Handle a Relationship with a Pisces

The three key things to remember with typical Pisceans are:

1. their heads tend to be in the clouds

2. they often lack energy

3. they need time alone to emotionally and psychically regenerate

They are usually loyal to their current lover. Indeed, they often mistake commitment for dependency. They quickly come to feel dependent on their current lover, so great is their need to feel loved and protected.

Frustratingly, they often have difficulty asking for what they want and difficulty receiving. They spend their lives adapting to the other person’s wants and never honoring their own needs. In consequence, they can feel drained and secretly resent their partner, who is supposed to read the Piscean’s mind. They usually have a lot of trouble expressing anger for fear of disturbing the psychic vibrations. They need to be encouraged to tell you when they’re upset and not bottle it up for years.

Must-Do’s

Be kind

No-No’s

Never criticize them. They don’t criticize others, so extend the same courtesy to them. They tend to accept people “warts and all.”

How to End a Relationship with a Pisces

The simplest way to end a relationship with a typical Piscean is by being honest—while buttering up their usually fragile egos. Reassure them that you still think they’re wonderful, that you still want to keep them as a friend; tell them you deeply respect them but, deep down, both of you know the energy has gone out of the relationship. If you are both to keep spiritually progressing in this life, you must follow the energy that is calling you elsewhere; you have to be yourself to honor that energy….

Also, I don't think a Pisces sees us as such. We take up for a Fish buds.

I'd have to say that, given those descriptions, I'm

with a bit of

and
- Aquarian Non-Chalance (at least as an act) & Avoidance of Actual Intimacy (at least initially)
with perhaps a bit of the
- Taurean Staying Power & Love of Natural Beauty
thrown in for kicks.

Thanks, 1scorp!

1) Be our friend first if you EVER want it to last. If you just want a fling, that's fine, just be prepared to be cast aside when the novelty wears off. If you want to have a real "thing" then understand that friendship is the most important and you will remain our friends forever.

2) If we rebuff your move, we'll do it with a smile, but in a firm way. Keep trying and you will get a mouthful of truth that you may not handle. Like it says "We live life our way...if you can't handle the independence, then it was nice knowing you".

3) Breaking up is not that hard, since we probably never had a serious relationship with you anyway. LOL...just kidding, we'll pretend everything is okay, but then we'll go home and nurse our wounds and cry on our big fluffy pillows!

4) Yeah, you should take your vitamins, cuz you will need them. No matter how tired we are, we aren't too tired for that, and if we say we are, then we may mean we're tired of you too.

LOL.... I am feeling VERY Sag today. Kind of onery too.

posted June 09, 2003 05:13 PM            

No, no Leo in me...(well, I will stay away from that sort of naughty comeback that is on the tip of my tongue...LOL)

Actually, it is very Sag to LOVE hair and makeup products. Lots of bubble bath too. I tried to deny it, Lanny brought it up one time, that even though we are known for our adventures, in and out of the sack and quickies, we just don't like to mess up our hair.

Nevermind it's working now.

Okay....Lost Leo.. cattle whips? Ow, those suckers hurt. I have one...well, don't get any thoughts, I do attend cattle conferences. LOL..anyway, it has a cute little fake mouse tied to the end and the cats love to chase it.

So, it's not a sex toy. At any rate...hmmmmm being tied up? NO WAY...not this Saggie, that's just not my thing, but I do know others that dig it. My Leo isn't into that either...thank goodness.

I did send him the info on the Lure of the Sag and Leo. He totally agreed with the vitamin stuff and the part about "climbing all day and then on to making love half the night". I didn't get the nickname "Little Mosquito" for nothing. LOL

Also, about the Pisces:

My first real love was the most gorgeous Pisces man that God ever created. He had these beautiful blue eyes and sensous full lips. It was probably the first time in my life that I actively stopped in my tracts and lusted after someone. I just KNEW I had to get to know him and that I wanted to "merge" with him. It really struck me, deep in my stomach. We had almost over a year together and it was great, but not as experimental in the sack as I would have wanted. But, it was so incredibly spiritual and moving. Hmmmm, that is one Fish that will never seem to swim out of my system. I still think of him often, but of course, I never let Mr. Leo know.
