Sexual Compatibility by Zodiac Sign
Aries
March 21 to April 19
Sexual style: As the ram and the first sign in the zodiac, Aries is assertive and aggressive and savors the act of sexual conquest. You tend to be the pursuer, rather than pursued. You desire immediate gratification, dislike emotional games, and love it when people play with your hair or rub your scalp.
Best sex matches: Leo, Libra, Gemini, Scorpio
Taurus
April 20 to May 20
Your sexual style: More sensual than sexual, the Taurus craves stimulation even more than arousal, and the scents, sounds, and touch of a sexual experience are very important. You hate to waste energy, so any action you pour into sexual activity adds to the experience, and you tend to wait for sex to find you rather than pursue it.
Best sex matches: Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn
Gemini
May 21 to June 21
Your sex personality: Geminis are comfortable and easygoing about their sexuality, daring to have sex in unlikely places and not shy about dirty talk. You’re great at flirting and value a witty, sexy rapport with your partners. You like to have fun with sex and experiment with new things.
Best sex matches: Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius
Cancer
June 22 to July 22

Virgo
Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Don’t think that Virgo the virgin is chaste. In fact, this high-energy sign can be highly sexual and sensual.

You don’t need a lot of bells and whistles, but you do like a careful, well-designed, and honest lovemaking experience you can savor.

Libra
Sept. 23 to Oct. 22
Your sex personality: Libra is often considered the most refined of the zodiac signs, with excellent taste and delicate sensibility. Not surprising, sex for a Libra involves mental stimulation and verbal foreplay. A good partner will draw out your passion with flirting, and you love suggestive elements — like lingerie and music — in the sexual setting.

Your sex personality: Scorpios have a reputation for being passionate, lustful, and highly sexual.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22 to Dec. 21
Your sex personality: Known as wanderers and seekers, Sags are charming, affectionate, and attentive in the bedroom. But you tend to get bored quickly, so you yearn for spontaneity in your sex life. When you’re single, you’re incredibly flirty and perhaps promiscuous, and even when coupled up, you’re likely to be adventurous and open to trying new things.
Best sex matches: Leo, Aries, Gemini, Aquarius
Capricorn
Dec. 22 to Jan. 19
Your sex personality: Like Scorpio, Capricorn has a reputation for being one of the most sexual signs but at the same time very sensual.

You’re not into PDA, but you do love being courted and seduced, and you pride yourself on your sexual stamina.

Aquarius
Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
Your sex personality: Generally regarded as intellectual and idealistic, Aquarians are suggestible and unconventional in the sack. You enjoy being seduced but hate to give up power completely.

Best sex matches: Gemini, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Virgo
Pisces
Feb. 19 to March 20
