All eyes on these signs when they enter a room.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Nov 08, 2017
Captivating is one of those special qualities that you take for granted when you have it, and when you don’t, you wonder what you need to do to get it. When a captivating person walks into a room, people are immediately interested and they want to know more about them.
If you are captivating, you exude self-confidence and have the right mix of smarts and looks. You might have incredible good looks or it could be your personality and the way you speak and move that makes you so attractive.
People who are captivating aren’t afraid to truly be themselves. They aren’t afraid that if they show their strengths and weaknesses, they’ll be rejected. They can enjoy themselves without caring about what other people will think of them.
They may be open but there’s still some mystery to them that intrigues us and makes us want to know more. And checking their horoscope is just another way to learn more. It’s been said that there’s something special in the way that a captivating person moves and speaks.
You know immediately when you meet someone who is captivating as you find yourself almost mesmerized by them. They’re fascinating and exciting and you feel more interesting the more you talk to them.
There are those lucky people who think of their partner as captivating years into a relationship. The more you know about someone who has that kind of enchanting and alluring personality, the more you want to know and, as the years go on, your attraction and feelings for them become deeper and more intense.
If you are in a relationship with someone like this, you need to be prepared to have other people interested in them. If you’re prone to jealousy or insecurity, you need to work on yourself before becoming too involved. Here are the most captivating zodiac signs, ranked from most to least.
1. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
There's something about Scorpios that seems to say, "Hey, look at me." It's not just sex appeal as there's so much more to them than that. They have confidence, they have mystery, and they have that something that makes people want to know more about them.
A Scorpio is spellbinding when they speak, and they have no trouble gathering people in and making them feel special just to be in their presence. When a Scorpio has directed their attention toward you, you feel as if you've been swept off your feet.
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are like the sun and people want to have a little bit of that Leo sun shine on them. They are dazzling and when they walk into a room, they own it. Because Leos are so captivating, it's not difficult to see why they are leaders and have so many people who want to follow them. They are confident, brave, and entertaining.
Luckily, Leos don't abuse power and they don't use it to control other people. A Leo can walk into a room, not knowing anyone, and will leave with a bunch of new friends. Leos are friendly, open, and talkative, but always hold a little something back.
3. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus' are a force of nature. When a Taurus walks into a room, it feels as if the room has been magnetized and energized. They have a lust for life and for getting the most out of every occasion.
Taurus are nature flirters and seem to be flirting even when they're not. They're fascinating and when they put their attention on you, you feel special and charmed. While Taurus enjoys being home, there are times when they simply have to go out and party, and it's those times when they feel the most alive.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
You may be under the false impression that Capricorns are anti-social and somewhat predictable. The truth is Capricorns are vibrant, social, and delightful. They love to travel and when they go to new places they usually make friends wherever they go. When they're home, they always have social events with friends and family.
If you just take a Capricorn at face value, you might not know how captivating they are, but the more you talk to them, the more dynamic and fascinating they become.
5. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras are captivating in the way they make other people feel. They're charming and social but not fake. They like things to be fair, so they'll do everything in their power to help justice get done.
They don't take themselves too seriously which is very attractive. Libras are enchanting and kind of magical in the way that they deal with other people. People tend to get infatuated and seduced by the Libra charisma.
6. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries have the confidence to be who they are without apologies. They are courageous, lively, and the stories they tell can captivate any audience. Aries are constantly challenging themselves and this makes them fascinating.
They like to do things that they've never done before and if something scares them, that makes them want to do it even more. There's something about someone who faces their fear head on that is enthralling. It might be their enthusiasm that is attractive, or maybe it's their positive outlook on life.
7. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos are brilliant and when you're the smartest person in the room, people are going to gravitate to you, at least the people who are secure enough to let Virgo rule. Virgos care what people think about them and they can be a little needy for attention.
It isn't that they aren't interesting or special, it's just that they will give you anything you want when you ask it of them. Virgos can be a little harsh, but they don't mean to be cruel, they just like to be direct and sometimes have no filter.
8. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces are complicated which makes them interesting. They care deeply about others and are very intuitive. But if they start to feel down, they can get into a deep funk rather quickly.
They are sometimes reticent about getting too close to people or giving away too much but they'll always give someone a second chance. They have terrifically high standards when it comes to their own work, and can go from hugely upbeat about a project to considering it garbage the next.
9. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians are true people-persons and extroverts. They live to meet new people, have new experiences, and their enthusiasm makes them very attractive. They're self-centered, which can look like self-confidence, but they definitely have their insecurities.
Sagittarius individuals tend to be somewhat philosophical and intellectual, which can be off-putting for some. They are generous and humorous which makes them likable.
10. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are very compassionate and sympathetic which draws people to them. Cancers can get exhausted by their constant giving to others. They want to be independent and upbeat, but they can get highly suspicious of other people and their motives if they think they're being taken advantage of.
When they're in love, they can be extremely needed and dependent. There are times when they just want to fade into the background.
11. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Sometimes Aquarians don't connect with people; it's not that they don't enjoy other people, it's just that they get lost in their head. They're always creating and thinking and coming up with solutions and new innovations, that they don't have time to socialize or listen to other people.
Aquarians also tend to disconnect when there are too many emotions for them to deal with.
12. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis are captivating in the way that they talk with others and make them feel at ease and interesting, but Geminis can get easily distracted. You might not know who you're going to get with a Gemini, but there's no urgency in finding out.
They don't mean to disappoint people, but they can be flaky and forget important meetings and social engagements. However, they're very clever and know how to make a conversation stimulating and exciting.
