Sexual astrology is a real thing and we are here to explore which astrological signs you are most sexually compatible with.
Just as each person is unique, so are the zodiac signs, especially when it comes to sex. Some signs enjoy role-playing, while others like to keep it vanilla. Some need a long warm-up session, while others are ready to have sex immediately after something as small as a kiss on the cheek.
Some zodiac signs of a sexual nature are known to be excellent in bed, such as Scorpio, Aries, Leo, Libra and Taurus. And many of those same signs tend to be a bit weird in bed. That shouldn't be too surprising, should it?
There is no denying that some signs are more sexually attracted to each other than others, and there is an undeniable chemistry between certain couples: Aries and Aquarius, Taurus and Cancer, Cancer and Scorpio, Gemini and Virgo, Leo and Libra, Capricorn and Taurus, and Gemini and Libra.
Zodiac love and sexual compatibility is powerful, so with the help of Phyllis Vega, author of "Erotic Astrology: Your Horoscope's Sexual Secrets Revealed", we've put together a breakdown of which zodiac signs you are most sexually compatible with, as the sun signs indicate a lot of useful information about your overall sexual style, what turns you on and what doesn't.
You can also use this breakdown to assess the potential of your love interest, because aren't you even a little bit interested in knowing what your horoscope compatibility is when it comes to learning how to have amazing sex with that special someone?
And don't worry, if it turns out that your partner isn't necessarily the perfect match for you, don't pick up the phone to dump them just yet. Learning how you and your partner function sexually as individuals can help you in the long run.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Sexual Style: Passionate and impatient, and one of the three Fire signs, Aries are lovers who want to cut to the chase. They don't like to woo you with flowers and romance. They are actors, not dreamers, and prefer a spicy, energetic romp to a long sex session.
"They want what they want, and they want it now," says Vega. If it's you they want, you'll have a partner dedicated to pleasing you between the sheets, but you'd better not be into foreplay, because you're not going to get much.
Sexually compatible zodiac signs: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius
Turns him on: Anything that's different; aggressive couples. "Attack!" says Vega. "Subtlety is totally lost on Aries." Like the joy of routine: The Ram gets horny when excited and surprised.
Dislikes: Same old, same old. Scheduling sex every Tuesday and Thursday with your Aries is a sure way to bore him to death.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Sexual style: Tauruses want to be slowly seduced and seduced. These sensual lovers ponder their decisions, but once they have decided you are the one, they will want you and only you. Reliable and easy-going, the Bull likes deliberate, uncomplicated sex, and possesses a libido that, once unleashed, allows him to go all night long.
Sexually compatible zodiac signs: Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
It turns him on: "Taurinos fall for all the traditional tools of seduction," says Vega. Just put high thread count sheets on the bed, some flowers in the room, open a bottle of good wine and turn on the Barry White.
The downside is that you'll feel like you're setting up a 70's love den, but the upside is that your Taurus love interest will probably take his or her shirt off by the second song.
Cons: If you push her against a wall or show up at her house in a perverted costume, your Taurus will probably run screaming. These traditionalist Earth signs don't like harsh innuendo and twisted fun.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Sexual style: As a cerebral and verbal Air sign, Gemini is stimulated first mentally and then physically. Once you have aroused him, get him into the bedroom before he gets distracted, as Gemini's mind wanders easily. Sex is sure to be hot and heavy, and probably quite chatty.
"They like to talk during sex; they like to talk about sex," says Vega. Those born under the sign of the Twins get nervous, so don't take it personally when your Gemini wants to get out of bed after climaxing.
Sexually Compatible Zodiac Signs: Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Turns him on: Passionate conversation and novelty. Tell him what you're going to do to him and, better yet, make it something he's never had done to him before. Mix it up: A Gemini changes his mind often, so he might like rooftop action on Tuesday and a personal lap dance on Wednesday.
Challenges: The dreaded clinginess. Don't act needy with a Gemini; although they may be happily monogamous, they want to at least feel free.
Cancer (21 June - 22 July)
Sexual style: "Cancers don't just drop into bed," says Vega. For the most part, the extremely emotional Crab wants a relationship, and once they have you in their clutches, they don't want to let go.
These intense, serious and possessive lovers focus on a partner with whom to engage in all their favourite sensual activities. Although they may be shy at first, they are tender and deeply affectionate once they feel comfortable.
Sexually compatible signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces
It excites him: A good meal and a lot of confidence. Prepare your Cancer an elaborate meal and let him know he can be vulnerable with you, and you might just get him to please you forever.
Cons: Whatever you do, don't hurt their feelings or even think of going out of your way. This super-sensitive Water sign is easily offended and, as it has the best memory of all the zodiac signs, will never forget precisely how you screwed up.
Leo (23 July - 22 August)
Sexual style: The mythological Leo wants to be a star and is as dramatic in bed as he is in life. The Lion craves recognition and the public, and if you keep applauding them, they'll keep satisfying you. "They want to be caressed, literally and physically," says Vega.
These born lovers are exceptionally sexual, inventive and dedicated. They won't take no for an answer, so why bother? Give in and let them put on a Leo show just for you.
Sexually compatible signs: Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
It excites him: Endless compliments. Tell magnetic Leo that he's handsome, witty and fabulous in bed. His libido will soar, and you'll reap major benefits.
Disadvantages: Overbearing. Leo's should be in charge, or at least think they are in charge. So if you value your peace of mind, you won't try to tell your Leo what to do.
Virgo (23 August - 22 September)
Sexual style: "Everyone thinks Virgos are chaste, but they're just annoying," says Vega. They like to get it on in a clean and charming environment. They are sweet, romantic and orderly lovers who thrive in quiet relationships and often prefer to be the less aggressive partner.
Although they may be shocked when you propose something naughty, they're actually delighted. So coax your Virgo into doing that acrobatic contortion you read about in the Kama Sutra, and as long as she doesn't pull her hamstring, she'll be just as happy as you are.
Sexually compatible signs: Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Turns her on: Fresh sheets, traditional courtship, routines. Treat her with care, buy her nice gifts, read her poetry, and generally work with her precious, old-fashioned sexual sensibilities.
Disadvantages: "Don't throw them on the ground and try to jump on their bones," warns Vega. They're not interested in literally getting dirty.
Libra (23 September - 22 October)
Sexual style: The sophisticated Libra is an intellectual and a perfectionist, an excellent bed partner if a little aloof. This high-minded sign approaches sex with a mental bent and is often intrigued by erotica and new conceptual approaches to pleasure.
She's open-minded but refined, so she'll probably go along with anything, as long as it's not too kinky. (Read: Although she can wear a sleeveless butler costume, hardcore fetish play is probably not a safe bet).
Sexually compatible signs: Gemini, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
It excites him: A nicely decorated bedroom, best of all, a night on the town. The urbane Libra is turned on by a pleasant situation where he can get his submissive but considerable groove on. And he may be too polite to say it, but he loves expensive gifts.
She doesn't like it: "No nasty sex in the hotel," Vega commands. It's also best to avoid taking your Libra camping or suggesting they do it at all. Librans aren't interested in making love under the stars, unless it's in a luxury cabin with skylights.
Scorpio (23 October - 21 November)
Sexual style: Everyone knows that Scorpios are freaks, but not everyone understands that they are demanding freaks. The mysterious and intense Scorpio may be a horn dog, but she prefers celibacy to millimetric sex. They are interested in transformative lovemaking, not just 20 minutes of missionary.
"It has to be more than sex and love," says Vega. "It has to be a bigger connection.
The sexy Scorpio, who doesn't understand the phrase "shades of grey", is either totally disinterested in you, or is completely focused on you. Once she has decided you are the one, she will show you undying love and dark, erotic action. If you want to be with a Scorpio, start working on your stamina and get ready.
Sexually compatible signs: Cancer, Pisces, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
It excites him: Understanding. Once you know what your Scorpio girlfriend likes, do it for her. And if she's curious about bondage, this would be the sign you could offer, hopefully, a rope and a whip. Scorpios aren't afraid of a little kinkiness.
Challenges: The naysayers, the nincompoops and the pushy. If you think or try to assert that you are in control, Scorpios will kick you to the curb. get it?
Sagittarius (22 November - 21 December)
Sexual Style: This fiery and enthusiastic world traveller will make you feel like the only person in the world when he's in bed with you, but if he hears the call of the open road, you'd better enjoy the view as he leaves.
Still, as long as you have him, you'll have a great time, as Sagittarius is open, adventurous and up for fun. Expect him to get lusty when he's somewhere new and exciting. "They please you and want you to please them; they'll try anything and make love anywhere," says Vega.
Sexually compatible signs: Aries, Leo, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
It excites him: Adventure. Make the Archer chase you. Try a strange sexual position or an exotic sexual technique, preferably in faraway places. Mile Club, meet your new members!
Challenges: Predictability. If you always want to stay home and watch movies on Saturdays, your Sagittarius hottie will shrivel up with boredom. Step away from the agenda and put down the remote control if you want to get lucky later on.
Capricorn (22 December - 19 January)
Sexual style: These guys may seem like workaholics, but once you lure one into the bedroom, he'll show you he plays just as hard. "Capricorn is one of the most passionate signs, and no one knows it," says Vega.
As the Capricorn lover is reliable, ambitious and responsible, he often sublimates his sexual desire. But under this professional exterior, he is ready for action. When he is horny, he is affectionate, direct and devoted to pleasure. Bonus: he has great stamina.
Sexually compatible signs: Taurus, Virgo, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Turns him on: Capricorns are attracted to intelligent, experienced people who are willing to make the first move and have the patience to lure them away from work with sexy clothes, a romantic meal and sensual distractions. They love to make dates and plan "sex nights" in advance.
Challenges: Spontaneity and weirdos. The Goat dislikes capricious dalliances that interrupt his busy schedule, just as he dislikes dealing with a person he considers inadequate in the grand scheme of his life.
Aquarius (20 January - 18 February)
Sexual style: No one can identify these free-spirited eccentrics. And while none of these Air signs look alike, one thing they have in common is their intellectuality. Aquarius' libido increases in relation to their mental stimulation; they are willing to try anything if it seems interesting.
Your Aquarius lover, reserved and cold, starts slowly, but can be driven to a state of wild passion, and once he or she is in it, you will be blown away. But you can never fully possess an elusive Aquarian, as they are always holding something back.
Sexually compatible signs: Gemini, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
It excites him: Conversation, unusual personalities, intellectual pursuits. Because they have few qualms, they enjoy all kinds of activities in the bedroom, from the boring to the kinky.
Challenges: If you're the conventional type, without a quirky bent or a dark side, an Aquarian won't give you the time of day. Also, don't try to fence her in: "If the Aquarian thinks you're going to take away her freedom, she'll run away," says Vega.
Pisces (19 February - 20 March)
Sexual style: This lover is a chameleon, able to change his style according to your needs and desires. "They are physically magical," says Vega. "They are emotional, not intellectual.
A Piscean in love lacks practicality; that, combined with their affectionate nature, their enthusiasm for all things carnal and their natural empathy, makes them talented at pleasing others and accepting pleasure.
What is naughty for another sign only seems fun to the Fish, and he approaches bedroom romps with an open mind and an open heart, always hoping that the time you spend together will be fantastic.
Sexually compatible signs: Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
It turns him on: When you're happy, he's happy, so be sure to show your appreciation. Being dreamers, Pisces are often turned on by fantasy play, so get out that cheerleader costume and start stretching.
Challenges: Don't play it cool with your Pisces, or he or she will lose their libido. A Piscean partner needs to get an answer in bed.
