ARTICLES :: Astrology :: How to Pick-Up Any Sign at the Gym



Don't Sweat It: Continued

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
How to Recognize: Libra is known for grace, coordination and style. Look for the athlete who runs like a gazelle or swims like a swan. People born under the sign of the Scales are also highly fashion conscious. You'll never catch them working out in a ratty old tee shirt and cut off jeans. Designer exercise gear is their clothing of choice, but only for the gym. After their workout, they invariably change into a smart outfit.

How to Seduce: It's important to perfect your seduction technique before approaching Libra. This sign hates fumblers. The next time you spot Libra, get on the exercise machine next to theirs with a copy of a respectable pop culture magazine. Peruse the entertainment section, then turn to ask Libra whether they've attended the featured movie, concert or play. Cultured Libra loves to discuss the arts.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
How to Recognize: The last place Scorpio likes to be is the gym -- this reclusive character would much rather be reading a thriller or watching a horror movie. Still, these folks do understand the benefits of exercise, and are often found engaging in high-octane classes like kick-boxing, karate or spinning. Keep your eye open for the person sporting all black who looks as though they're working off a prison sentence.

How to Seduce: Scorpions love to commiserate. A good conversation starter might be, "Wow, this class is grueling!" or, "You'll have to excuse me if I start gasping for breath. I'm known to black out while changing my socks." Scorpio will be happy to meet someone who hates working out as much as they do. Whatever happens, never tell this sign to smile while he or she is working out. Their stony stare will prompt you to change gyms.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
How to Recognize: Naturally athletic Sag loves the gym and treats it as a social hub. Keep your eyes peeled for the guy or girl looking for a game of pickup basketball. He or she will probably be chewing gum and sporting a smile as big as all outdoors. Sagittarius doesn't care much about fashion, but does have an affinity for sports jerseys, especially ones bearing the name of their favorite athlete.

How to Seduce: The Archer doesn't like high-pressure tactics. This sign wants to make friends first and lovers second. Invite the fun-loving Archer to a party. (Hint: Sag is a sucker for cookouts.) Alternately, you can challenge Sagittarius to a game of squash, proposing fun stakes like a hamburger with all the fixings. If you're looking for a conversation starter, mention last night's big game -- these folks love professional sports, and are eager to discuss their favorite teams.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
How to Recognize: The gym is a bit informal for dignified Capricorn. Look for the person who looks up guiltily every time the door is opened -- the Goat is terrified of running into somebody they know while they're sweating it out on the exercise bike. This sign also favors blindingly white tee shirts that looked as though they've been starched. When in doubt, check the feet -- Cappy usually springs for top-of-the-line athletic shoes.

How to Seduce: Take the old-fashioned approach with Capricorn. Wait until they've finished working out, and open a conversation with, "I hope you don't think I'm being too forward, but I couldn't help noticing your shoes. Can I ask where you got them?" This will put the Goat in a position of authority, where he or she is most comfortable. As soon as possible, establish that you do have a steady job. This sign hates slackers.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
How to Recognize: Trust Aquarius to try out the latest exercise equipment or attend the newest aerobics class. If it's strange and unfamiliar, the Water-bearer wants to experience it. This sign often sports eye-catching sports gear, like fluorescent colors or shiny fabrics. When in doubt, check out the person's iPod or cell phone. This sign is a tech-lover, and usually has the latest gadget.

How to Seduce: Ask Aquarius their opinion on the morning's headlines. This sign loves to discuss current affairs. Express some unconventional opinions of your own. If there's anything the Water-bearer can't stand, it's someone who blindly follows the crowd. If all else fails, just go up and introduce yourself. Aquarius loves meeting new people, and will admire your direct approach.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
How to Recognize: Dreamy Pisces is a bit absent-minded. They betray themselves at the gym with trailing shoelaces, mismatched socks and backwards tee shirt. You probably won't find this sign doing reps on the Nautilus or logging floors on the Stairmaster -- these folks generally prefer to swim in the pool or stretch in the yoga studio. People born under the sign of the Fish often hum under their breath while exercising.

How to Seduce: Claim a sports injury and ask Pisces to recommend a good spa or masseuse. This sign will be happy to oblige, and probably probe you for more information on your health, too. Fish are always looking for someone to rescue, and that's often the first step toward winning their heart. Loudly proclaiming a hatred of exercise will probably win a sympathetic smile, too.
