Sexual Compatibility by Zodiac Sign

Follow the (Zodiac) Signs to Great Sex

Even if you read your daily or weekly horoscope for fun, you might still roll your eyes at the concept of astrological compatibility. The notion that stars and planets determine how well we get along with someone may seem silly, but what if great sex is written in the stars — and "Hey, baby, what's your sign?" doesn't actually deserve its corny reputation?

Zodiac signs can reflect character, communication styles, preferences, and emotions — all of which play a significant role in understanding yourself and your relationships. I'm not saying you should make all of your major love and sex decisions based solely on astrology, but I do know that chemistry is difficult to explain — and I definitely have better chemistry with some signs than others.

If you're looking to achieve some out-of-this-world chemistry (aren't we all?) with a lover, it certainly can't hurt to consult the astrological charts. (Plus, it's kind of fun to learn a little more about different signs, just for future reference.) Discover your best bedroom-chemistry chances with our handy sexual-astrology primer.

Aries Sex Compatibility

21 March to 19 April

Your sexual style: As the ram and the first sign in the zodiac, Aries is assertive and aggressive, and savours the act of sexual conquest. You tend to be the pursuer, rather than pursued. You desire immediate gratification, dislike emotional games, and love it when people play with your hair or rub your scalp.

Taurus Sex Compatibility

20 April to 20 May

Your sexual style: More sensual than sexual, the Taurus craves stimulation even more than arousal, and the scents, sounds, and touch of a sexual experience are very important. You hate to waste energy, so any action you pour into sexual activity adds to the experience, and you tend to wait for sex to find you rather than pursue it.

Cancer Sex Compatibility

22 June to 22 July

Your sex personality: Your approach to lovemaking is creative and sensual, but you need to be wooed until you can settle into sex. Cancers are intuitive and can easily sense what their partner wants. For you, sex is loving and lustful, and your love of food often leads to a penchant for oral stimulation of any kind.

Virgo Sex Compatibility

23 Aug. to 22 Sept.

Your sex personality:
Don't think that Virgo the virgin is chaste. In fact, this high-energy sign can be highly sexual and sensual. You savour touching of any kind as a means to foreplay; making out or massages can enhance your arousal. You don't need a lot of bells and whistles, but you do like a careful, well-designed, and honest lovemaking experience you can savour.

Libra Sex Compatibility

23 Sept. to 22 Oct.

Your sex personality: Libra is often considered the most refined of the zodiac signs, with excellent taste and delicate sensibility. Not surprisingly, sex for a Libra involves mental stimulation and verbal foreplay. A good partner will draw out your passion with flirting, and you love suggestive elements — like lingerie and music — in the sexual setting.

Scorpio Sex Compatibility

23 Oct. to 21 Nov.

Your sex personality: Scorpios have a reputation for being passionate, lustful, and highly sexual. You require a great deal of drama and excitement in your sex life and often indulge in scenarios involving power and control. With the combined forces of a strong sex drive and strong emotions, you often struggle with your own desires.

Your sexiest matches: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Pisces

Sagittarius Sex Compatibility

22 Nov. to 21 Dec.

Your sex personality: Known as wanderers and seekers, Sags are charming, affectionate, and attentive in the bedroom. But you tend to get bored quickly, so you yearn for spontaneity in your sex life. When you're single, you're incredibly flirty and perhaps promiscuous, and even when coupled up, you're likely to be adventurous and open to trying new things.

Capricorn Sex Compatibility

22 Dec. to 19 Jan.

Your sex personality: Like Scorpio, Capricorn has a reputation for being one of the most sexual signs but at the same time very sensual. It doesn't take anything too complicated to arouse a Capricorn's strong libido, though your legs and knees are often more sensitive than most. You're not into PDA, but you do love being courted and seduced, and you pride yourself on your sexual stamina.

Aquarius Sex Compatibility

20 Jan. to 18 Feb.

Your sex personality: Generally regarded as intellectual and idealistic, Aquarians are suggestible and unconventional in the sack. You enjoy being seduced but hate to give up power completely. Though you don't come off as overtly sexual, beneath the surface you are enthusiastic and imaginative when it comes to sex, as long as your lover meets you on a mental level.

Pisces Sex Compatibility

Your sex personality: Pisces is known for getting along well with all types of people, and you have no trouble attracting admirers without having to be aggressive. In bed, you are romantic, sensual, and playful, and your soulful side appreciates imaginative techniques. You focus more on pleasing your partner than on being pleasured, as long as your imagination is ignited.
