As Valentine’s Day nears, love (and just about everything in between) is on many people’s minds, and the astrology of the month is confirming that romance is in the air! With Aquarius season now in full swing, every sign has been feeling the urge to express themselves in their own, unique way – especially in the bedroom. Look out for February 22, when Venus prepares to meet up with Mars in Aquarius, compelling you to send a risky text to a sneaky link or a new flame. While things continue to heat up in the cosmos, your February 2024 sex horoscope only adds fuel to the fire.
Here’s a look at what this month’s astrology has in store for your sex life:
Aries
As the most energetic sign of the zodiac, there’s rarely a dull moment in your bed. However, as Venus and Mars link up in Aquarius on February 22, you’ll be inspired to switch up your usual moves. Now is the perfect time to explore intimacy in a different way, perhaps by adopting a more submissive role behind closed doors. Though calling the shots will always be your strong suit, consider how you can challenge yourself between the sheets this month by playing with a different kind of power dynamic. Sometimes, the biggest risk you can take in the bedroom is letting someone else call the shots.
Taurus
Intimacy has always been a priority for you, but this month, you’ll be called to play around with connection in a way that’s innovative and unconventional. Though you’re typically a creature of habit, Venus, your ruling planet, shifting into Aquarius on February 13 is switching up your sexual appetite. Is there a position you’ve been too shy to suggest to your partner or a role-play idea you’ve been eager to experiment with? Now is the time to hard-launch some of your kinkiest fantasies. Though it may take you out of your comfort zone, you’ll be glad you tried something different!
Gemini
As the Mercury-ruled sign of the zodiac, you’re always full of ideas that keep your sex life from getting dull, and this month is no different. As Venus and Mars link up in Aquarius on February 22, you’ll be setting your sights on sexual affairs that take you on an exhilarating journey! You may find yourself engaging in a steamy affair while on vacation, or entering an adventurous rendezvous with someone starkly different from your usual type. Regardless, you’ll be challenging the traditional ways of expressing your sexuality this month — and it’s bound to make for a very juicy story.
Cancer
You’ll be experiencing deep intimacy this month, as Venus enters innovative Aquarius on February 16, but in a much different way than what you’re used to. Though your emotional needs often guide your sexual affairs, you’ll be much less prompted to bare your soul and more inclined to explore your desires in a way that’s calm, cool, and collected. While the encounters you experience now may not tug on your heartstrings in the way that you’re used to, they promise to transform how you engage in lustful encounters — no strings attached.
Leo
Expect some passionate encounters this month, as Venus and Mars link up in innovative Aquarius on February 22. During this time, you’ll find yourself most attracted to those who are a breath of fresh air, as they inspire you to continue to be unapologetically yourself. With a newfound sense of liberation on your side, you’ll be compelled to explore any sexual endeavors with a newfound sense of curiosity and excitement! Though you may not be eager to settle down, you’ll appreciate the intensity of these new affairs.
Virgo
As the month of romance unfolds, you’ll be setting your sights on intimate experiences that liberate your usual routines and habits, especially once Venus enters Aquarius on February 16. Though you’re often comfortable in your ways when it comes to sexual expression, you’ll be looking for different ways to spice up the mundane during this time. Try squeezing in a quickie before work, or even sexting between errands! Who says your to-do list can’t include a little foreplay? It’ll make being productive a lot more enjoyable.
Libra
Your sex appeal kicks into overdrive this month as Venus, your ruling planet, teams up with Mars in Aquarius on February 22. You’ve never been afraid to embrace your sensual side, but as this transit takes place, you’ll be called to distance yourself from any outdated traditional approaches to sex and intimacy. Who says that hooking up on the first date isn’t allowed? Let your passion guide you now — even if it prompts you to break a few rules along the way.
Scorpio
You may be keeping your sexual affairs under wraps this month, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t be getting any action! While Mars, your ruling planet, links up with transformative Pluto in Aquarius on February 14, you will experience a major boost in sexual energy, and be drawn toward a passionate, but private, romance. Though you may want to keep who you’re hooking up with under wraps for now, you’ll be feeling open to experimenting in new and exciting ways.
Sagittarius
As Venus and Mars link up in Aquarius on February 22, you’ll set your sights on people who stimulate your mind. You’re most intrigued by those who can keep you guessing, and this month, you’ll be eager to connect with someone who can teach you a thing or two behind closed doors. As the knowledge-oriented sign of the zodiac, you rarely come across someone who can show you new tricks. But as this transit unfolds, prepare to be learning new things from a new flame.
Capricorn
This month, as Venus and Mars meet up in innovative Aquarius on February 22, you’ll invest more time and energy into your personal pleasure. If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your sex toys, now’s the time to splurge — it’ll definitely be worth it! As the most hard-working sign of the zodiac, enjoying your downtime is essential, so be sure to make it count. Whether you’re with or without a lover, you’ll be in the mood for something a little different in the bedroom.
Aquarius
You’ll have plenty of excess energy this month, especially while Mars links up with Pluto in Aquarius on February 14. Now, you may find yourself experiencing a powerful sexual revolution that innovates your current identity. You may even be coming to terms with a sudden shift in your sexuality, or engaging in some unconventional power dynamics in the bedroom. This transit is all about trying new things though, so don’t hold back! Your sexual appetite is shifting, and there’s nothing wrong with embracing it fully!
Pisces
As Venus aligns with Mars in Aquarius on February 22, you may be re-considering how you outwardly express your sexual needs and desires. As the ever-changing sign of the zodiac, your sexual expression tends to fluctuate. During this transit, you’ll be discovering new, innovative ways to channel your passion. If you’re currently in a long-distance relationship, you may be prompted to get a little more creative with how you connect with your partner. Let your imagination guide you!
