This Is Your Most Irresistible Quality, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Becoming the best version of yourself has nothing to do with changing yourself to fit a certain mold. It has nothing to do with impressing others or using mind games to get people to "want" you. Anyone has the ability to be irresistible because what attracts people to each other varies among each individual. If you're unsure of yours, astrologers say your zodiac sign can help you discover what special traits you might want to play up in order to shine.
"Some people have an allure that's enigmatic but undeniably their own," astrologer Cindy Mckean, tells Bustle. It's that certain something about a person that we can't put a finger on. "However, we can use astrology to help us nail our very own style of being as irresistible as we can be."
Among all 12 zodiac signs, there are four different corresponding elements (earth, fire, water, air) to match. Some signs within their element might know their strengths and utilize them more than others, Mckean says. "If you happen to be a Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Libra (one sign from each element, respectively), you have an intuitive head start on," your best attributes.
That's because signs like Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure. "There's a certain charm both of these signs exude," astrologer Amy Tripp, tells Bustle. Libra tends to be more flirtatious, while Taurus tends to be more sensual.
But if you're not a Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Libra, don't worry. Each sign has certain inherent strengths that can be enhanced. So here are some of your best attributes, based on your zodiac sign.
1Aries (March 21 - April 19): Your Confidence
Ruled by Mars, the "planet of sex," Aries knows how to turn up the heat. "They are confident, bold and know how to take charge," Tripp says. Although your boldness may not be for everyone, it can definitely appealing for a lot of people. But that's not all. Since you're not only a fire sign but the very first sign in the zodiac, Mckean says you're "known to blaze trails others haven't thought of." You're full of sire, spunk, ambition, and passion. "Once your flame is lit, play it up, people are drawn to you and find you irresistible," she says.
2Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Your Sensual Nature
Taurus is the most sensual sign of the zodiac, thanks to their ruling planet Venus. "Their touch can drive you wild," Tripp says.

It's no secret that Geminis love to talk. "They can be the life of a party with their ability to mingle and flirtatiously butterfly from person to person and make everyone feel good," Mckean says.

Virgos typically don't seek attention, but they have warm hearts and good common sense so they're always willing to help.

Libra can easily play up their charm, thanks to their ruling planet Venus. "They are the most socially sophisticated and genuinely friendly of all the signs," Tripp says. "They don’t like conflict and will always want to keep things balanced and peaceful." You radiate fairness and harmony.

Sagittarius can play up their worldly nature and knowledge. Since you're known for exploring the unknown, you can teach other people things they never knew they'd be interested in. In addition to that, Tripp says your optimistic and cheerful nature is well-received by others. "It’s always nice to be around someone positive who doesn’t dwell in the past," she says. So keep it up! Other than that, you're also known for being open-minded, accepting, and curious. You have an easy-going nature that makes people feel comfortable around you. "Known for being honest, optimistic, and supportive of the underdog, people can't help but appreciate your generous nature," Mckean says.

10Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Your Driven Nature
Capricorns are practical earth signs who are known for being hard workers. "Their respectable and dignified nature can make them irresistible to others, as well as their mature and responsible ways," Tripp says.

That's because you value your individuality and you naturally exude that. Other than that, you also have a strong humanitarian nature. "People interested in free-thinkers and those that don’t define themselves according to the rules of society will find Aquarius irresistible," Tripp says.

Pisces are known for being soulful and sensitive, shy but empathetic. "Pisces are mysterious without even trying," Mckean says. For you, it's all about working your flexibility. "When you go with the flow, you are aligned with your direction in life and you become a beacon of peace for others and a source of guidance," she says.
