Sex in The Stars

Someone catches your eye from across the room. They come over and the hint of interest fizzles. Or you start dating… can’t keep your hands off of each other, then it just doesn’t gel. Why does sexual chemistry flare up only to flame out? The answer may be in the stars, or more specifically, in astrological chemistry.

While there are many factors in a horoscope that predict love, use the guide below to determine who’s hot and who’s not for your sign:

Aries
Once roused, you’re red hot and ready! Best bets for you are other equally passionate fire signs like Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Other suitors freewheeling enough to pique your interest are Gemini and Aquarius.

Taurus
The secret sensualist in you loves someone who unleashes the passion hidden behind your calm exterior. Those with this ability are Capricorn, Libra and Virgo. Other candidates with a soothing, sweet nature include Cancer and Pisces.

Gemini
You’re a freedom junkie, at least while you’re young. That’s why you will fret under the spell of possessive signs like Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn. For the lightheartedness you crave, choose other air signs like Aquarius and Libra, or give it a whirl with fiery Aries or independent Leo.

Cancer
As one of the most deeply romantic signs of the zodiac, your heat and passion will rise up under the steady hands of Taurus and Capricorn. Your emotional nature may also find divine harmony within the embrace of Pisces and Scorpio.

Leo
You can’t bear being out of the spotlight! For love to shine, you need someone who radiates their own intensity, which often means a fellow fire sign like Aries or Sagittarius. Other partnerships that work surprisingly well are dramatic Scorpio and balanced, beautiful Libra.

Virgo
With your analytical abilities and your healing energy, you find many willing and likely partners. Especially good matches are other Virgos, Taurus and Capricorn, while sparks fly with intensity and intrigue of Scorpio and mysterious Pisces.

Libra
Born under the watchful eyes of Venus, you are a quite the catch! The trick is for you to choose from a pack of suitors. Look for air signs like other Libras, Aquarians and Geminis for long-lasting love. For tempestuous titillation, try Aries and fun-loving Sagittarius.

Scorpio
Depth, intrigue, secrets and sexy inscrutability make you quite the contender for love and sex. For true love, try Taurus and Virgo. For blazing hot fun in bed, try another Scorpio. If you’re up for a one-off romp, put Sagittarius under your spell (but take cover before the house tumbles down on your head!).

Sagittarius
Everyone loves to have you around! You’re generous and fun-loving but impossible to pin down. Finding a love that lasts doesn’t usually interest you until later in life. If it’s time to settle down, look for a fellow Sag, Aries or Aquarian. If you’re still looking to scorch the sheets and run, Taurus, Scorpio and Virgo will provide flint for your fire.

Capricorn
The sea-goat is noted throughout mythology for his legendary sexuality. This ancient magnetism defines you, dear Capricorn. To rise to the occasion give it a go with Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer. To find an easy, lasting partnership try steady Taurus and Virgo.

Aquarius
You are the ultimate air sign, brimming with ideas and ideals, fixed on a vision of how life could be with social change. Your higher pursuits make you an uneasy companion for watery or earthy homebodies. Intellectually and sensually, Sagittarius and Aries are more apt to set you ablaze, while Gemini and Libra will keep you languorous and satisfied.

Pisces
With the depths of the oceans and flowing of tides in your heart, you’re changeable and responsive. Scorpio and Libra will make you well with desire, while Cancer and another Pisces will soothe your troubled waters. Avoid Leo, Aries and Sagittarius who will only leave you feeling burned.

If you’re already captivated and enthralled with a certain someone, it’s always useful to be forearmed with the knowledge of your astrological compatibility. As a matter of fact, in the wisdom of India, if the birth charts don’t jibe, the marriage doesn’t happen.
