There are distinct styles of seduction associated with each astrological element. By understanding them, you can make improvements to your own technique, and better understand how others try and seduce you.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) will usually take a practical, polite and honest approach toward taking you home. Whether they are looking for something casual or long-term, earth signs are keen to lay the cards on the table and let the chips fall where they may. Expect an earth sign to be honest about their intentions, but in a pleasing and classy way. Their calmness and keep-it-real attitude can be a huge turn-on in a world of hidden intentions and cheesy pick-up lines.

Earth signs are best at seducing water signs and other earth signs. The wild card is air, which can cause a sudden bout of passion that fizzles quickly. Earth signs can improve their seduction style by using a bit more imagination and mystery to entice potential lovers.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are masters of the art of flirtation. They know how to use words, gestures and ideas to hold your interest and keep you guessing. An air sign will sometimes approach you in a way that seems gimmicky or staged, but give them a chance to flaunt their spontaneity, and you’ll have a hard time looking away. Since they consider directness to be quite boring, air signs will use oblique methods of getting their message across. Read between the lines and you just might end up between the sheets.

Air signs are best at getting the attention of fire signs and other air signs. The wild card is water, which can create a strong psychic bond that leads to mind-blowing passion. Air signs can improve their seduction style by adding some good old-fashioned honesty to their approach.

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are all about sweeping you off your feet. Once they decide to try and seduce you, they go all-out with little or no hesitation. Their self-confidence and sheer heat is inspiring, but it makes their seductive style completely hit or miss. If you fall for their red-hot tactics, you’ll fall hard. But if a fire sign approaches the wrong person, or catches you on a bad day, their direct approach can make for a seriously uncomfortable moment.

Fire signs are especially talented when it comes to seducing air signs and other fire signs. The wild card is earth, which can lead to a sexy battle of the wills. Fire signs can improve their seduction style by taking a deep breath and counting to ten before zeroing in on their target. This brings a touch of earthiness and air into their approach.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) have the highest degree of sensitivity to body language, facial expressions, and yes—even thoughts! They have a better chance of knowing what you are thinking than other elements, and when when it comes to seducing you, they’ll certainly use this to their advantage. Expect a water sign to demonstrate a deeper, psychic connection as a means of getting up-close and personal. If you find yourself saying, ‘How did you know that?’, you may be dealing with a water sign.
Water signs have a gift when it comes to flirting with earth signs and other water signs. The wild card is fire, which can trigger a deep emotional connection. Water signs can improve their seduction style by remembering to laugh and keep things light. This prevents their potential lovers from thinking they are too quiet or serious.
