This time of year many of us get invited to get-togethers with co-workers, friends and family
Here are some hints that will help you -- after only a short period of observation -- identify different Astrological Sun-Signs of fellow party-goers. When you’re able to tell people what sign they are with a fair amount of accuracy, they will be amazed at your uncanny psychic abilities! I'll also be giving you some hints about the best way to approach that cute Leo guy or Pisces gal who caught your eye and win their attention!
Aries:
Aries always desires to be the center of attention. See that person in the center of the room waving their arms and hands about and talking in an excited (probably somewhat "loud") and enthusiastic voice? More often than not, it's the fiery Ram in action.
Occasionally, the Party Ram can be SO assertive that it turns into "aggression" and could result in someone being asked to "step outside to 'discuss' the matter". Hopefully not...
The Ram is also known for being somewhat accident-prone (especially in the head area), so make a mental note if the person you’re eyeing fits this behavior and, if the person also has highly arched eyebrows that curve slightly around the outside of the eyes (like ram's horns), what you've most likely got is an Aries!
Don’t try to compete with the Ram on your approach. (They respect strength but would rather be the one who plays the role of “pursuer”.)
Taurus:
In contrast to the Ram, the Bull is often very sedentary...
As soon as Taurus arrives at the party, s/he will usually pick out a comfortable, overstuffed chair (preferably a recliner near a side table of something yummy to eat within arm's reach), sink into the chair and not move for the rest of the evening -- except to refill the tray of hors d'oueuvres (if necessary) or get another beverage.
The overall physical impression you will get from the Bull is one of solid, brawny strength -- especially in the arms, chest and upper torso. Their voices are also often slightly "raspy" due to serious childhood bouts with throat maladies like strep or tonsillitis.
Ruled by Venus, Taurus are very drawn to the "earthly delights" such as food, drink and sex and are just as often extremely well-versed in different forms of art or, especially, music.
Break the ice with a suspected Bull with a quip about how you wish the host/ess would play some Blues by Gatemouth Brown or some Jazz by Chick Corea and see if his/her face lights up!
Gemini:
Is there someone at the party who -- every time you look up -- seems to be in a different part of the room, talking to a completely different person or group of people than you just saw them talking to a minute ago? Or, does this person seem to disappear when you glance away for a second only to reappear in a location you could swear they didn't have time to get to from where they just were?
This mercurial fellow party-goer is probably a Gemini. Listen to their conversations as they engage other party-goers around the room...
Are they able to discuss with confidence the pluses and minuses of various makes of European sports cars as well as "who's dating whom" in Hollywood and, then, have no trouble switching the conversation in a split-second to the finer technical points of future manned space travel? You just may have a set of Party Twins on your hands!
In whatever area of the party they're found, it's a cinch they probably won't be there very long before the conversation there bores them, they abandon it and go seeking fresher topics someplace else!
Whatever you do, don’t act “clingy”. The Twins are footloose and fancy free and don’t like to be pinned down! They DO appreciate lively conversation, however.
Cancer:
More often than not, you will find the Crab in the kitchen at the party, heating up last-minute appetizers, loading the dishwasher or playing dollies with the host's children in their rooms. Even if they're not engaged in domestic chores of some kind, the Cancer party-goer will probably seat themselves at the kitchen or dining room table -- rather than in the living room or den -- to converse with their fellow partiers.
Cancer is the "Mother Sign" and, as such, feels an almost overwhelming desire to nurture and care for children, pets and/or those in need of first aid. You might even find them rendering first aid to some accident-prone Ram...
They are extremely aware of their own emotional vulnerabilities, however, and only those who prove worthy of their trust will reach the soft underbelly which lies beneath these crustaceans' hard outer shells.
If the one emptying the ashtrays you've pegged as a Cancer suddenly bursts into a loud peal of loony laughter, you've definitely found your Crab!
Leo:
Look for an enrapt group of people watching as a gregarious, dramatic Lion -- unquestioningly in complete command of his/her audience's attention -- acts out every detail of the story s/he is telling with a supremely theatrical performance.
Leos don't just have "friends", they have "entourages" that eagerly follow in their commanding wake -- grateful for any "crumbs" the Lion might overlook or generously toss their way...
Does this star performer have huge, round eyes with just a hint of gold glinting within them or a "mane" of unruly, thick hair (often with a reddish tint)? Do you feel a momentary impulse to bow or curtsy when s/he grandiosely sweeps into the room? If so, you are probably in the magnificent presence of the King of Beasts.
Admiration (YOURS for him or her, NOT his or hers for you) is the key to getting a Leo’s undivided attention. (Word of advice: Don't tick them off with petty remarks. You won't like them when you do...)
Virgo:
See that silent, modestly dressed person sitting on the ottoman with perfect posture and probably holding the host's kitty-cat on his or her lap? You may just have located the Virgin in the room...
Just to be sure, sidle-up to him or her, toss off a faintly catty remark about one of the attendee's garish choices of color in party attire and wait for your suspected Virgo to wrinkle their nose in mutual disapproval. Yep. You found one.
The Virgo will also probably be obviously uncomfortable with the loud music being played or the large number of guests that are squeezed into one little room. S/he might even excuse themselves from the scene completely because of it -- citing an upset stomach.
Understatement is the watch-word for attracting a Virgo.
Libra:
Look for a face that gives the distinct impression of sweetness of character -- "peaches and cream", so to speak -- and then listen for the famous Libra watch-phrase: "On the OTHER hand..." and you may have located the never-completely-balanced, always-vacillating Scales.
Does one person stand out -- able to get along with even the most belligerent drunk at the party while, at the same time, disagreeing with him/her on every point s/he makes? When the Aries and Leo partiers get into a verbal confrontation, watch to see who steps in and smoothes their ruffled pelts in a melodious voice seemingly saturated with calm because it’s most probably the famous “Peacemaker": Libra.
To cinch the ID, go up to him/her and say: "Are you a Libra? You know, I heard Libras like to argue with everything you say!"
If they retort with indignation, "No we don't!", you've got one!
While the Scales find physical confrontations distasteful in the extreme, they DO adore a lively intellectual debate. What they DON’T like are overbearing people or people who dress with no sense of color harmony. Think “balanced”…
Scorpio:
Is there a serious looking -- even brooding -- person at the party who hardly speaks and seems to be examining every, single party-goer under the microscope of their slightly hypnotic gaze while all of their own thoughts remain a complete mystery to everyone else? Do they quote Nietzsche and Poe?
If so, you might have happened upon a dark, secretive Scorpio. Everything about the Scorpion is intense, deep, focused and just a bit scary...
If you find one, best not return that piercing stare -- you'll never win a game of "Mexican Stand-off" against a Scorpio and, occasionally, they can sting you to death for no other reason than it's simply "in their natures" to do so!
You’re going to hold the Scorpion’s interest until s/he thinks s/he’s got you figured out. Best try to remain a mystery for as long as you can!
Sagittarius:
See that guy or gal over there circulating a petition to increase the minimum wage, overturn the latest Supreme Court decision, send aid to starving children in the Congo or allow a copy of the 10 Commandments to be displayed in front of the courthouse? That crusader is most likely the Warrior Archer Centaur.
You could also find them teaching the host's dog how to shake hands or leaning over the back fence to give the host's pony some sugar cubes. In fact, s/he could have brought their camping gear with them with the intent of spending the night under the stars in the front yard or setting out for an early day's worth of nature hikes.
Just keep in mind that the Centaur is attracted to fellow crusaders and nature/animal lovers and loves a well-informed philosophical discussion...
Capricorn:
Is there someone you (and everyone else at the party) seem to simply overlook completely? In fact, does this person blend SO well into the background that you can hardly tell they're even there?
If so, you've probably stumbled upon a Saturnine Sea-Goat. And, don't worry, most everybody "stumbles upon" them by accident -- simply because they don't, at first, even SEE them.
You can bet, however, that the Capricorn partier has sized up each and every guest according to popularity and general social status and already determined who they deem worthy of spending their time and energies on. Even though Goats tend to cultivate relationships more with those who have the ability to further their ambitions (and they do this by "filling in" where they are needed, when they are needed), they do it quietly and unassumingly (at FIRST, anyway)! So, a little name-dropping might help bring you into their spot-light.
Aquarius:
Is that guy or gal over there actually TALKING to the potted plants OUT LOUD? Why, yes, it seems they ARE...
After which the Water Bearer is likely to demonstrate some yoga moves and conduct a chant in order to make the party experience more meaningful -- more profound -- for their own and everyone else's enjoyment and enlightenment.
Aquarians are usually consummate eccentrics with way-out and/or futuristic tastes in dress, furnishings and art but, most of all, they wish to carry the message to each and every resident of our planet about the brotherhood of all humankind regardless of color, gender, religion, belief-system, socio-economic status, class or national origin. Water bearers paint with a broad brush of fraternity for people all over the world (and aliens from OTHER worlds, too, if the truth be known).
Aquarius (rather like Sagittarius) isn’t really looking for “mate”, per se, but, rather, a “buddy” to pal around with. So, be that pal and you’re on your way!
Pisces:
Is there an ethereal person with a dreamy quality at the party who has the appearance somehow of a lost, orphaned waif with huge, gorgeous, "Walter Keane-like" eyes that hint of the enigmatic, liquid depths of green and blue oceans? Does this person seem to be almost as if from another world -- a less concrete and mundane world -- where magic lives and communications are felt rather than seen or heard? And, when you try to corner this person, do they seem to constantly elude you and disappear in faint, glinting flashes of sudden movements?
Just as a wriggling Fish is difficult and painstaking to net, you are rarely able to "pin down" a Pisces in any type of (even tender) confrontation -- regardless how pure your motivations may be. They are easily spooked by strong "come-ons". The trick in attracting a Pisces is to let him or her think that THEY are the ones seeking out YOUR company.
It is said Pisces live with one foot in this world and the other in the next; however, if you ever DO manage to hold onto one for very long, you may be rewarded if and when they choose to share some of the profound secrets of the universe with you which they, alone, are able to perceive...
Wherever and however you choose to party this year, do everyone and yourself a favor: Don't drink and drive and have a sober driver or taxi take you home... We want you to be around for 2015!
