Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
They'll be there with a gaggle of friends, and if one of those friends isn't their lover, it will be the exception to the rule. You'll be able to tell they're unattached after watching them for a while, and you will watch them. Libra's planet is Venus -- the goddess of love, beauty and charm -- and she bestows all that and more on her favorite signs. If your Libra's obviously alone, you'll have to move quickly -- you won't be the only person who's noticed. In fact, there'll be a veritable parade forming while you're deciding what to do. Your mission, since Libras do tend to have a problem making decisions when all options seem enticing, is to step up first and chase away all other choices before they're presented.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Scorpios prefer being alone to being with just anyone. If you've got your heart set on one of these intense, often solitary creatures, you'll need to prove you're worth the time it will take for them to get to know you. How do you spot them? Even though they're alone and seem to be totally engrossed in whatever they're reading, they're completely aware of everything going on around them (probably because they're wearing dark glasses and constantly glancing into the reflections of the windows around them). They'll know you're en route whether they look up or not, so before you step beneath their umbrella, be sure you've got something fascinating to say. Scorpios don't suffer fools.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
They'll be in the pool or splashing around in the water with the kids, because when it comes to having fun, Sagittarians have no boundaries. They're natural born clowns, always game to make a fool of themselves if it makes someone laugh. In fact, it's said that they were the court jesters in Ye Olden Days, and that's not much of a stretch. Their bodies? Well, they'll either be extremely athletic, or, because their symbol -- the centaur -- is half human and half horse, they may carry a bit more weight on the animal half. But they carry it well, and it's quite attractive. Let them know that fact (without mentioning it directly, of course). You'll be well on your way to charming one of these funny, optimistic souls who are never short on benevolence or generosity -- and on your way to a partner you'll be proud of.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
If there's a group at the pool or the beach, a Capricorn is sure to be in charge. They'll be so involved with what they're doing that they won't notice you, at least not right away. And your basic stunts -- like cannonballs, bodysurfing or doing a perfect jackknife off the diving board -- won't get their attention. What they're after are prospective partners with extraordinary skills: the ability to start a conversation that will continue to be fascinating, even if it means changing subjects several times. If you're after a Capricorn, intellectual wit is a must because their brains are machines. Have a list of amazing topics ready to segue through seamlessly before you make your approach.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Your first clue that there's an Aquarius in the area will be odd-colored hair on at least one side of their head, several piercings, or the strangest adaptation of what might loosely be called "beachwear" that you or anyone else has ever seen. If it's an Aquarius you're after, you're definitely close to your mark. Your mission now is to keep this extraordinary creature amused and bemused -- no easy task. That doesn't mean you have to undress and dance on the nearest tabletop or dive into the pool fully clad. You will need to be creative -- because heaven knows, they certainly are.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
They may be alone, and if so, they'll be trying to ensure that they stay that way. They’ll want to be invisible to anyone and everyone. Pisces are the very best at hiding out, so when they want to be unseen, they pride themselves on their ability to fade into the background. Since their ruling planet is Neptune, who happens to be just as charming and romantic as Venus (but twice as hypnotic), disappearing is not always as easy as they believe. And it makes your job twice as tough, but the rewards are equally substantial. Move toward them as if you're approaching a wild animal. And, if you get the chance, touch them like you'd touch a butterfly's wing: with the knowledge that anything too drastic will mortally wound them.
