Calling all you sexual athletes! Ever wondered why you’re so good in bed? It could very well be a gift from the cosmos: your star sign. Our planetary rulers provide all kinds of personality and physical traits and strengths. Read on to explore yours, how your sign makes others feel, what you bring to the bedroom, and who your ideal astrological sex matches are.
Aries
Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of passion, so Aries people like it hot and wild. The more intense, the better! Sex brings their animalistic appetites out to play. They are also seriously competitive, so they’ll work hard to impress and bowl you over.
Hot matches for Aries – Libra, Scorpio, Leo, and Sagittarius
Taurus
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and romance, and is an earth sign, so they’re all about physical pleasure too. Taureans can spend ALL DAY (and all night thereafter) in bed (as long as there are snacks and drinks)—they love getting snuggly, sexy, and cozy with the one they love. They also have impressive stamina, so get ready for a marathon.
Hot matches for Taurus – Libra, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn
Gemini
Geminis are tricksters and love to play! Sex, to them, is another game, so role-playing, toys, new positions, new accessories, alfresco sessions, illicit evenings pretending to be strangers, etc. Are you sure you can keep up?
Hot matches for Gemini – Libra, Aquarius, Virgo, and Sagittarius
Cancer
Cancerians are sexual magicians, they know just what buttons to press to take you to the next level of orgasmic thrills. They read people, mind, body, and soul, and take all three elements into account in their love-making. A dream lover!
Hot matches for Cancer – Pisces, Scorpio, Capricorn, and other Cancerians
Leo
Leos are a proud, loving, attention-seeking, highly strung, passionate, and wild sign. All of which combine to make them combustible and unpredictable in the bedroom. Leos have big libidos and judge their relationships on the quality and amount of sex they have. It’s a vital ingredient, and they like to keep things spicy and lively.
Hot matches for Leo – Aries, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and other Leos
Virgo
It’s always the quiet ones isn’t it? Beneath that glacial perfectionist exterior beats the heart of a lover who wants to please you, and has paid you so much quiet attention that they’ve worked out just how to do that. Virgos always surprise their partners with their sensuality and imagination in bed. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Hot matches for Virgo – Taurus, Gemini, Capricorn, and Pisces
Libra
Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and indulgence. They are natural flirts, enjoy the thrill of the chase, and will have partners begging for more after their tantalizing game-playing and teasing. Venus gifts all Libras with a natural understanding of how to give and receive pleasure.
Hot matches for Libra – Aries, Gemini, Aquarius, and Taurus
Scorpio
Scorpios are literally red-hot in the bedroom because they’re ruled by both the planet of passion, Mars, AND the anything-goes planet, Pluto. Scorpios like to push the boundaries, get kinky, and push things to a ‘10’ on the out-there scale.
Hot matches for Scorpio – Taurus, Cancer, Aries, and other Scorpios
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, hands down, has the biggest sex drive of all of the star signs. A fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance (*ahem*), therefore up for anything, anytime, anywhere. Alfresco encounters are their go-to.
Hot matches for Sagittarius – Gemini, Leo, Aries, and Pisces
Capricorn
Capricorns are another dark horse in the zodiac, known as serious and brooding. They don’t look like they can easily let go, which is not true. If they trust you, want you, and feel secure with you, then Capricorn will show you a degree of attention, passion, and understanding that you’d be hard pressed to find in another sign.
Hot matches for Capricorn – Virgo, Taurus, Cancer, and other Capricorns
Aquarius
Aquarians are the dark horse of the zodiac when it comes to the bedroom. Outwardly, they come across as a bit aloof, maybe even eccentric, or stuck in their own head. IF ONLY you could see what was going on in there, though! They love to experiment. They have an inner confidence that is super attractive.
Hot matches for Aquarius – Leo, Gemini, Libra, and other Aquarians
Pisces
Pisces are super slinky, sexy, and sensual people who have an almost hypnotic effect on their partners. Although their libidos may not match the sky-high levels of, say, Sagittarius or Leo, they make up for it with the quality and finesse of their touch and skill. Pisces know how to make you melt.
Hot matches for Pisces – Scorpio, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Virgo
