Here are a few quick ideas to help you understand your own way of being a lover, or the way to that special someones heart.

If you've met someone special you can consider how their Sun Sign blends with yours by only knowing their birth date. Then read the descriptions below to get a "feel" for how they express themselves when they are in the "romance" stage of a relationship.

ARIES- Fire * Cardinal Impetuous lover, quick to take action and join the chase!! The flames of passion are quickly aroused but just as easily put out if the romance is not a challenge. You like to start new projects, but are not always good at sustained effort. Pleasures are best if they use physical energy and offer a variety of new things: try exercise, biking, walking and new paths and techniques to explore. Someone easily caught bores you.

TAURUS-Earth * Fixed Ruled by Venus, the planet of love. This one wants serenity and harmony. You want to know that your romantic "other" is yours to have and hold. You can be possessive when in love, but also steady and dependable. You may like to do the same thing over and over again, finding comfort in the security of the tried and true. These folks may prefer to extend hospitality, feed their company with scrumptious goodies, then curl up and watch a movie in the comfort of their own home.

GEMINI-Air * Mutable Variety is the spice of life and you are more likely to enjoy outings and pasttimes where you can use your quick mind, feet, or hands. The lover must appeal to you intellectually or be able to hold a good conversation. Gossip can be a form of recreation for some Gemini people, but so can a good book, today's newspaper, or just a pleasant chat on the phone. Keep in touch on a daily basis or they'll find someone who will.

CANCER-Water* Cardinal Often bouncing up and down on an emotional roller coaster you are at your best when you find someone who can share your sentimental streak, makes you feel safe and protected, and likes to wine and dine you. Collections of some sort may attract you, whether stamps, photos, or works of art, but you may prefer to collect lovers!! And they will love your nurturing ways! If you feel the urge to cook a big meal or show off your culinary skills on a regular basis (or find someone who does this for you), you'll know you are hooked!

LEO-Fire * Fixed Likes to do things in a BIG way. You want the very best in everything and take pride in your children, your creative talents, and those you choose for lovers. You are very trusting, sometimes too much so. You like to be in charge of the situation and organize the fun, and choose your lovers from those who will happily follow your lead. Tantalizing treats include champagen, bubble baths, and going to the theater.

VIRGO-Earth * Mutable Your practical nature hides a very passionate soul, but if you can't respect someone's mind you won't let them get too close. Your attention to details and the little things in life can be a joy. You may find that special someone through your job or through a common interest in small animals. When you start fussing over "his" diet, or pick up vitamins for "her", you'll know this relationship has a chance of lasting. Pleasurable adventures could include a trip to the zoo, touring great estates with gardens, or picking strawberries together.

LIBRA-Air * Cardinal Pleasant manners, peaceful surroundings, and lots of social activity turn you on! It's not that you can't be by yourself, just that everything is more fun if you have a congenial "other" to go places and do things with. Remember to send cards for special occasions, flowers, or just say how much you appreciate this person often to get their devoted attention---and don't send them to the store by themselves! If you invite one of these amiable creatures over to your home, don't worry about cleaning, but make sure it's neat and you have lots of pillows.

SCORPIO- Water* Fixed Still waters run deep, and you are sometimes SO deep that everyone has to guess what you mean and think. When you DO share your innermost feelings and thoughts you feel you have bestowed a great gift on the recipient, but are often hurt and feel betrayed when they repeat your secrets. Puzzles and mysteries attract you. Reassure these folks of your devotion and don't tease them with other people, causing jealousy--they don't forgive disloyalty.

SAGITTARIUS-Fire * Mutable This fire sign likes to go anywhere, with anyone, just for the sake of going. Your beliefs and philosophy are important to you and you have an opinion on everything, but can easily be swayed to see the other person's point of view. Closest to your heart are travel, whether by mind, spirit, or body, so pick up that map, go to that lecture, or enroll in that class to meet your traveling companion for life. If you're involved with a Sag listen to their jokes and expect a lot of horsing around.

CAPRICORN-Earth * Cardinal Success and hard work can be the focus of your fun. Maybe you'll meet Mr. Right while networking, maybe it will be someone you feel has a great deal to teach you, or vice versa. The element of time may be important either through an age difference, or gradually becoming accustomed to someone in your circle, or perhaps you'll run into an elementary school chum and the sparks will fly! Involved with a Capricorn? Black lace is a turn on.

AQUARIUS-Air * Fixed Sometimes you are attracted by the shocking and avante garde, sometimes by the scientific and revolutionary. If you want to charm an Aquarius, buy them the latest gadget or appliance, especially something that will save the environment, too! Friendship may be mistaken for love and vice versa, but this independent person wants it both ways sometimes. Maybe it is a deliberate attempt to preserve their freedom.

PISCES-Water * Mutable Soft hearted, romantic, has sympathy for every stray cat and sob story, but can sometimes beg for some sympathy themselves because they allow themselves to be a victim of love or dependent relationships. Whether saint or a sinner, you deeply yearn to understand the person closest to you. An offer of summer breezes by the beach, a pina colada in the shade, with good music in the background might just be the way to have fun with you.

The TYPE of sign can give you some insights, too.
