Leo (July 23 - August 22)
How to Recognize: Look for the person who always gets the best seat on the bus or train. In fact, Lions often take up two spaces: one for themselves, and one for their bag or briefcase. Somehow, nobody is courageous enough to ask Leo to move over or make more space. That's because these folks exude an air of entitlement that is both intimidating and awe-inspiring. They're usually reading a tabloid magazine or a tell-all biography of a hot celebrity.

How to Seduce: If Leo has the misfortune of stepping onto a crowded passenger car, stand up and offer your seat. You'll be rewarded with a dazzling smile, and maybe even their phone number. Lions love to be entertained … casually mention that you have an extra ticket to a concert or play, and ask if they'd like to come along. This sign is also celebrity-obsessed, and will enjoy discussing the latest foibles of Britney, Lindsay and Paris.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
How to Recognize: It doesn't matter if Virgo works for a Fortune 500 company or a gas station; you can trust that this sign will be dressed neatly and professionally. A dazzling white shirt, pressed pants and shined shoes are the standard uniform for most Virgins. These folks love to know the "hows" and "whys" of everything, and are often found perusing instruction manuals or do-it-yourself books.

How to Seduce: Virgo melts at the sign of good manners. Offer to help him or her with an unwieldy shopping bag. Hold the door as they are entering or exiting the subway. Offer your seat to an elderly person or a pregnant woman. Kind gestures like these will make a very favorable impression. Virgo tends to internalize their troubles. If you catch this sign with a worried expression, offer him or her a peppermint and ask if you can help. They'll be eternally grateful for your solicitude.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
How to Recognize: Librans prefer classic, timeless styles that are graceful and elegant. They're often the most fashionable people on the train or subway. The women favor feminine blouses and flirty skirts, while the men sport handsome blazers and perfectly fitting pants. This sign also enjoys light, subtle colognes that are seductive but never overpowering. Libra is a sucker for romance, and can often be found reading sentimental novels or the personal ads.

How to Seduce: Libra is that rare combination of good looks and intelligence. Ask this sign for help with your crossword puzzle -- you may even want to invent a clue like "What's a seven-letter word for 'seduction'?" to get your point across. People born under the Scales love to share and share alike -- offer to break your breakfast bar in two as a means to break the ice.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
How to Recognize: Scorpions are sleek and streamlined -- they often sport all black and wear a minimal amount of jewelry. They have also been known to wear sunglasses even on the cloudiest days. You can usually spot a Scorpion by their reading material. These folks love mysteries, true crime novels, and unauthorized biographies of scandalous people.

How to Seduce: This sign can't resist an unsolved mystery. Drop him or her a note that says, "I have something very important to ask you. Meet me here at 6PM tomorrow to find out what it is." Scorpio doesn't shrink from sex, either. Catch their eye and casually undo the top button of your shirt to get your meaning across. Reading a book about sex techniques can also spark a lively conversation with this sign.
