Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
They won't be alone -- that's your first clue and the first hurdle you'll need to jump. Is the person they're with a partner, a friend or a relative? There'll be only one way to find out -- get close enough to strike up a conversation and then, as delicately as possible, ask. Spotting a Libra also involves noticing that whatever they're wearing matches perfectly. Lovely Venus, the ruler of beauty and harmony, is their planet, so they go out of their way to ensure that their appearance is pleasing to the eye. Once you've discovered that they're not attached (a rarity), offer them your number before you ask for theirs.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
First of all, look for black and red. Scorpios tend to love wearing those traditional "power colors." If they're involved in a group outing, they may not be a part of whatever activity is going on, but they'll definitely be in charge of it -- and look the part, too. Scorpios are equal parts detective, analyst and CEO -- so if there's a game being played, they'll be the ref, the ump or the mediator. Don't be afraid to speak to them first. They're powerful people, so they admire the same quality in others. Say hello -- oh, and a compliment on how well they're handling the situation wouldn't hurt.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
That friendly-looking person who's dressed extremely casually? The one who's probably tossing a ball with a child or a Frisbee with their dog? That's your classic Sagittarian, doing what they do best: enjoying life's simple pleasures. You don't need much advice on how to approach these social creatures. "Hey, how you doin'?" will work just fine. They'll smile, stick out their hand and introduce themselves. In a matter of moments, you will learn the joys of playing catch or tossing a Frisbee. In a few days, you'll also learn how wonderful it is to be with someone who has only one expectation from you: to enjoy life.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
If they look a bit out of place, it's only because they're not used to being outdoors unless A) that's where they work, B) they're tending their garden, C) they're coaching little league, soccer, etc. or D) they're guarding their little ones on the swing-set or the slide. They may have realized that going outdoors is the only to escape from everyone who wants them to be in charge of something. Your approach? Be polite, but don't be afraid to introduce yourself. Capricorns appreciate backbone. They'll be impressed, and in the chain of command that leads from their head to their heart, respect is Stage One.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
There will definitely be something "different" about them. They may not have purple hair or piercings in rather odd places. They may not be tattooed, either, but you'll recognize them by the way they act around others. Aquarians make a point of letting everyone around them know that they're not like everyone else. If you're after an Aquarius, when your eyes meet -- and they will -- make it obvious that you're watching them. Smile. Add a wink or some other bold move. They'll be fascinated. Your next challenge is to keep them in that condition.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
They'll likely stand apart from the crowd -- but that doesn't mean they're bored. They're content to participate from a distance, rather than to take the chance of feeling drained by too much interaction with others. Remember, these are sensitive creatures whose energy is easily sapped. So when it comes to groups and gatherings, they choose carefully. Now, when you see them in a park, sitting back quietly against a tree, reading poetry or something equally soothing, your approach needs to be equally gentle. They'll appreciate it, along with your offer to leave if you're disturbing them -- which is the best way to be invited to stay.
