Sex Secrets By Sign, Part 1 (Aries-Virgo)

Is there a connection between astrology and your sexuality? Absolutely! The two are closely tied together and it is believed that the sun sign can determine your sexual desires. Not to mention that it can divulge some sexual secrets about your partner or soon-to-be lover. Of course, to get all the facts you need an astrologer to read your entire chart. For instance, the positions of Venus and Mars are very important. But for starters, here are some tasty morsels to whet your appetite.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Rams are numero uno and they like it this way. The ruling planet of Arians is Mars, the planet of power and enormous personal strength. With that said, the basic Aries energy is rapacious, self-oriented, and self-confident. These fire types like to take charge in bed. They’re impetuous and usually on the prowl, says Constance Stellas astrologer and author of The Everything Book of Sex Signs. Let’s just say the hunt is definitely part of the seduction. Aries are sensual and don’t easily give up control.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taureans are arguably the most sensual of the signs. They’re slow and rhythmic in their lovemaking. This means the Taurus lover takes his own time with everything and is also slow to turn on, says Ray Sette astrologer and author of The Planet Align So Rare. Sex is more like a five course meal, so don’t rush them. They look for stability, security and make serious commitment in their love life. Tender and steady caresses of hand and physical stimulation excite the Taurus lover. These types are also gloriously seductive and they enjoy the fine things in life, such as silk sheets, fragrant perfumes and gourmet meals. Speaking of food, they’re thrilled with it’s part of the deal. Offer food and sex and they’re very pleased, adds Stellas. One caveat: the bull is a little bit on the lazy side so don’t expect them to want to romp at three a.m.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Geminis are the most mischievous of the signs; they delight in bedroom games. Meanwhile, this air sign is also aroused by intellectual communion. In other words, they just looove to talk. Sometimes they like to talk about it more than they like doing it. And since they are imaginative, they also have an arsenal of fantasies at their disposal. Gemini’s are witty and very amusing lovers. They have a fierce desire for independence and freedom in their relationships so do not try to cage them.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
The crab is an enormously sensitive sign with a highly developed sense of touch. Outwardly they may pretend to be cool but under that hard shell, they are very sensual and loving. They nurture and aim to please, says Stellas. Their sexual style is caring, concerned, and oriented towards sharing. Becuase they feel a need to take care of their partner you may feel a little bit stifled (especially if you’re a Gemini). Don’t expect to have hot and heavy playboy sex with Cancers; these moody and sensitive creatures want mere physical gratification, says Stellas.

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)
Ah, these are the true Lovers of the zodiac. They radiate sexual confidence and exhibit tremendous energy. Here them roar! They love love and romance. They are theatrical cats who are generous and athletic so be ready to explore and be adventurous. Keep in mind, however, that Leos like to be praised, so do not hurt the ego! No other zodiac sign can be so majestic and theatrical.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Virgos like to have things just so. Everything has to be perfect. These are the types who notice that the bed is creaking or the lights are too bright. So it should come as no surprise that Virgos are very choosy about their lovers. Do yourself and your partner a favor, Virgos, try to lay-off on the nagging; sex doesn’t have to be perfect, says Sette. Keep in mind too that an effort has to be made to unearth and stir the deep buried passions of the Virgo. But if you do crack the code, you’ll become the vortex of their life.
