*Eleditor’s note: Astrology isn’t a religion. We’re not sure it’s a science, either. It’s magic, maybe. But, as with feng shui, say, things affect things. So as long as we don’t go blaming our problems on the stars, as long as we assume responsibility for our own actions…well, hell, a little auspicious coincidence and applicable wisdom can’t hurt. And so, with that grain of salt…enjoy!

There is nothing more interesting than learning more about our sexuality (and that of others, we’re interested in).

Your horoscope Sun sign describes many of the traits of your sexual personality.

Are you the type who likes to put on sexy lingerie, turn on some music and light candles before making love? Or, are you a bit more conservative, making sure the drapes are drawn, the room dark, before getting under the covers and unleashing your passion? Or, are you a bit more free and unconventional, putting on sexy nylons and garters (and no underwear), making sure your sex toys are within reach of your lover?

Take a look at your Sun sign and learn more about yourself and anyone you’re interested in, to see if you’re likely to be compatible.

Aries (March 20 to April 19).

Aries people are definitely adventurous and impulsive and many of them enthusiastically savor the act of a sexual conquest. Aries love the hunt and tend to be the pursuer instead of the pursued. They’re motivated by immediate sexual gratification and dislike too much drama or emotional game playing. Once into it, they have great energy for passionate, steamy sex. Aries rules the head, so they love having their hair or scalp massaged to get them in the mood.

Best sexual partners: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20).

Taurus are among the most sensual of all the Zodiac signs. Sex is most gratifying when they are sensuously stimulated by food, music, art, beauty or touch. However, spending money on them can be a big turn-on, too, because they can be a bit lazy—they tend to wait for sex to come to them, rather than pursuing it. But when they’re engaged, they require a partner who can keep up with their endless passion. And, yes, they are practical, so don’t worry, they will have a condom ready. You may find them possessive, if they like you a lot.

Best sexual partners:  Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Gemini (May 21 to June 21).

Gemini are easy going, energetic and have fun with their sexuality. They enjoy flirting and developing a sexy rapport with the object of their lust. They are extremely imaginative and will daringly have sex in the most unlikely places. Since they tend to be highly verbal, they aren’t shy about talking dirty. You can drive them wild by whispering things in their ear your mother would wash your mouth out for saying. They hate being bored in their lovemaking, so expect them to experiment and switch things up in the bedroom.

Best sexual partners:  Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22).

Since Cancers are ruled by the Moon, their sexual passions are aroused after they’ve been wooed and made to feel emotionally comfortable. They are highly intuitive and able to sense how to please all your sexual needs as long as they feel safe and secure. If they feel loved, their approach to lovemaking is creative and sensual, as well as passionate and lustful. You can get them in the right mood with a thoughtful gesture of flowers, a sentimental gift or cooking a delicious meal. The latter may make them suggestible to other satisfying oral stimulations.

Best sexual partners:  Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Leo (July 23 to August 22).

Leos are passionate lovers who rely on their charm and charisma to attract a lover. If they feel a romantic chemistry, they can tap into their powerful sex drive. They are fun, creative and generous in the bedroom but expect some drama if they don’t feel like they’re the center of attention. Because of their fragile ego, they require frequent validation of their magnificence. But it’s worth it, because you’ll enjoy their loving, affectionate nature as well as their attempts to seduce you with foreplay that will go on for the entire evening.

Best sexual partners: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Virgo (August 23 to September 22).

Virgos tend to appear sweet, chaste and uninterested in sex at first blush. But don’t let that fool you because they can be highly sexual and sensual, especially when they feel secure. They have to find a balance between being a pleaser and needing things to be perfect. The good news is they take pride at being good at whatever craft they practice—and lovemaking is no exception. Don’t look for a lot of “fancy-f*cking,” but they can provide you with a well-designed and earthy lovemaking experience you’ll enjoy. The secret is to get them to relax before sex by touching or massaging them.

Best sexual partners:  Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Libra (September 23 to October 22).

Libras are among the most sensuous signs of the Zodiac. They appreciate beautiful things and are usually quite refined with excellent tastes and delicate sensibilities. Never be crude with them because it will turn them off. Because they are extremely verbal and sociable, they get sexually turned on through mental stimulation and verbal foreplay. Their sexual passion comes out with flirting and playful banter. Libras are sensually aroused by anything that aesthetically pleases them: music, art, fashion, beauty, and romantic restaurants. They love the ambiance of luxurious surroundings and respond well to foreplay that includes candles, verbal encouragement and slow touching.

Best sexual partners:  Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Scorpio (October 23 to November 21).

Scorpios have a well-deserved reputation for being seductive, lustful and highly sexual when they are truly engaged in a relationship. They tend to be intense and highly erotic, often a little kinky because nothing is off limits in their passionate desire. Because they’re not normally into casual sex, they need to feel a deep emotional connection before becoming intimate. Often there is a great deal of drama and conflict in their sexual relationships because of their possessive nature and need for power and control. Expect them to possess you like a soul mate—not just a bedmate.

Best sexual partners:  Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21).

Sagittarius are the Peter Pans of the Zodiac. They are wanderers and seekers who are flirty, charming, affectionate and intellectually interesting. Sex is totally their idea of a good time. Expect them to be playful, adventurous and unafraid of trying something new. They tend to get bored rather easily, so they need spontaneity and often variety in their sex life. They are fun, loving and a joy to be around. The secret to engaging them is to avoid being possessive and restricting their freedom.

Best sexual partners: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.

Capricorn (December 22 to January 19).

Capricorns, despite their buttoned up conservative nature, have a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most highly sexed and sensual signs of the Zodiac. Don’t look for them to be into “public displays of affection.” But behind closed doors, (“whoa tiger”) they can be passionate with great sexual appetite. They are goal-oriented and may try to impress you to win your heart and libido. Capricorns are patient and enjoy courting and seducing their love interest. As a lover, they have great sexual stamina and love to please and be pleased.

Best sexual partners:  Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18).

Aquarians are unconventional lovers who come across as being casual rather than overtly sexual. But underneath that “let’s be friends” demeanor, is someone who is enthusiastic and imaginative when it comes to sex. Despite being loyal partners, they can be a bit emotionally detached when in a sexual relationship. They are original and innovative, and like to try new things as a way of keeping sex interesting. So, if you’re the conservative type who doesn’t like experimenting you may want to take a pass on an Aquarian.

Best sexual partners:  Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20).

With their sensuous and bewitching nature, Pisces have no trouble attracting sexual partners. They are romantic and playful, yearning for a soul mate who appreciates the importance of love more than sex. They are extremely sensual appreciating music, poetry or a romantic offering such as flowers or a fragrant perfume (or cologne). Once their intuition tells them they’ve found the right romance, they become sexually imaginative lovers who live to please their partner. Yet, they have a fragile nature, so avoid making hurtful or insensitive comments that will dissolve the intimacy you’ve created. A Pisces lover will sexually enchant and beguile you, keeping you coming back for more.

Best sexual partners:  Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
