Movie Pickups by Zodiac Sign (continued)

How to spot and seduce your favorite sign at the cinema.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
While it may be obvious, it's also true: Your Libra just loves love, so they also love love-stories. That doesn't mean they'll necessarily be there with a spouse or partner, but since Libras despise going anywhere alone, they'll be with someone. The film they're watching will likely be a love story or a drama with a very strong romantic sub-plot. Julia Roberts' 'Sleeping With the Enemy' is a fairly old but good example, as is just about anything starring Michael Douglas. If they're not walking out of the theater hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm with someone, give it a try. Smile, ask what they thought of the film, what they think of the star, or something similar. You'll think of something -- and the look on their face will tell you whether you're intruding or most welcome.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Gangster movies, horror movies or thrillers are where you'll find Scorpio -- or in the audience of something extremely steamy. Think 'Body Heat,' a classic that never fails to arouse any living, breathing human with a libido. Anything that doesn't continually pump adrenaline through their veins will bore them, so they'll definitely get up and leave almost immediately and without apology. It's got to be frightening, fascinating or sexy without being too obvious. If so, it may have what it takes to keep the Scorpio you're in search of amused for an hour or so. Scorpios aren't afraid of their own company, so they may be alone, likely in a back corner. One of their astrological symbols is the spider, whose love of corners -- and darkness -- is famous, so don't invade their space until the lights go up.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Some Sagittarians enjoy humor of any kind, including 'Dumb and Dumber,' for example, in which case, you'll notice them because they'll be laughing louder than anyone else. The other kind is far more intellectual, despises slapstick, and prefers drama to anything unrealistic or ridiculous. The one thing the two have in common is drama -- anything that pumps up the fire in their veins -- and even foreign films, because the sound of accents is music to their ears. Choose the type you can live with and go hunting at that type of film. Even if they're attached, their partner won't take offense. They'll be used to their Sag talking to anyone and everyone -- which is a good thing to keep in mind. They're extremely friendly people, so go easy on the jealousy or you'll lose them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
The Capricorn partner you're looking for definitely won't be found at a comedy, a horror film or a melodrama. They'll be in the audience of an intelligent film. They have an affinity for the past, so a grand historical epic is probably your best bet -- the more extravagant the costumes and scenery, the better. They're also one of the few signs who will go to the movies alone, so if you see someone who reeks of elegance and refinement, isn't eating or drinking anything, is simply but meticulously dressed and isn't interested in anything but the film, you've probably found your Capricorn. Approaching them for a conversation won't be a problem. They're very polite, but make no mistake -- they play for keeps, so you'd better be on the same page before you even say hello.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Sci-fi, sci-fi, and sci-fi. That's the ticket -- pun intended. If it was possible to survey the audience at any Star Wars film, it's an easy astrological bet that at least 80% would be Aquarians. The rest would be composed of people who've been absolutely convinced by these masters of cerebral persuasion that if they miss this film, their lives will also be missing something. That said, if you really want an Aquarius, get used to being convinced to experience all kinds of things. Don't worry, though. Most of it will be wonderfully wise advice. Oh, and when you're trying -- and it won't be easy -- to isolate them from their friends long enough to say hello, you'll have to do something striking to get their attention. Use your imagination, but don't get arrested, or you'll never get their number.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Yes, Cancers will sniffle at the movie, but they'll also be able to get up and leave once it's over. Your Pisces will be sitting there for a bit longer than the rest of the audience, most likely far to one side of the theater. They're experts at hiding when their oh-so-tender hearts have been exposed, so they'll be alone at that tear-jerker far more often than even a Cancer may be. The sniffling that continues long after the credits roll will be the only sound they'll make, but that doesn't mean they don't want to talk, only that something in this film triggered a memory that's still painful. If you're willing to listen -- and if you want a Pisces, that's a definite prerequisite -- you may have found your match. Suggest coffee or wine after the usher ousts the two of you, look into those lovely, compassionate eyes, and start listening.
