Have you ever met someone who ticks all your boxes, appearance-wise, yet they just lack that extra something? Or the opposite: you meet a person who doesn’t seem like your type, yet they’ve got some special, intangible quality that makes them impossible to ignore?
What is it that gives certain people that extra shine, romance-wise? Call it rizz, call it glamour, call it sex appeal—whatever it is, it works like magic. Are some people just lucky in love? Or is there more rhyme and reason to it? (And most importantly, is it possible that you’re sitting on an untapped source of love magic in your birth chart?)
Our astrologers are on the case, and we’ve put together a list of five of the most charismatic, magnetic, or just plain sexy astrological placements. Read on—then check your birth chart to see if you have any of these!
Venus in Taurus or Libra
Sure, these placements are a little obvious—but they’re classics for a reason. Venus is the planet of love, and she has not one, but two home signs: sensual Taurus and elegant Libra. If your natal Venus is in one of these signs, consider yourself blessed: you possess an innate charm, and love and beauty flow naturally into your life. Flirting may come so naturally to them that you hardly even realize you’re doing it—don’t take your power for granted!
Moon in Scorpio
Why would we say something so controversial, yet so brave? This is one of the most intense placements there is: people with their moon in Scorpio can be dark, brooding, and sometimes even jealous or secretive. They might not be for everyone—but if you get it, you get it. There’s just something about these people! They possess an undeniable magnetism that leaves everyone wanting more, and while relationships with them could be stormy, they’ll also be the most passionate you ever have.
Jupiter in the Fifth House
You know those people who are constantly getting asked out by the most interesting people, who can slide into a celeb’s DMs and actually end up with a date, or who somehow manage to have adorable meet-cutes at, like, the DMV? They might have lucky Jupiter in their fifth house of pleasure and romance. (If this is you—consider us officially jealous.) The more you put yourself out there, the more love seems to find you. Some people have all the luck!
Moon in the Seventh House
This one’s for the boyfriend (girlfriend, partnered) girlies! If your moon is in the seventh house, you could be the type of person who always seems to be in a relationship. When one ends, there are plenty of others lining up to take your ex’s place. You’re an amazing partner, which means that everyone wants to be in your orbit. (Word to the wise, though: if you’ve got a seventh house moon in your chart, put some extra effort into your relationship with yourself, not only with others!)
Venus in the Eighth House
Hot take: Venus in the eighth house might be the sexiest placement in the zodiac. These people may fly under the radar at first, and if you want them, you’re going to have to put in real work—but scratch the surface, and you’ll find a simmering passion that has the potential to ruin lives (complimentary). If your Venus is in the eighth house, you may be too hot for some people to handle, but the people who have experienced your love will never (trust us, never) be able to forget you.
