Remember the days of flicking to the back of Seventeen magazine and scanning the horoscopes page to find out whether you’ll kiss your crush this weekend? For astrology believers, horoscope predictions are more than just a fun section in a glossy mag – they provide a deep understanding of what the cosmos holds for us. How will our desires and sexual preferences play out? Will we find compatibility with others? As the stars and planets migrate across the sky, different celestial events and alignments spell particular experiences for people born in the 12 zodiac signs. Here’s what your zodiac sign predicts about your sex and love life, apparently…

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Known for their passion, energy and boldness, fire signs are all about intensity and excitement in the bedroom. 

Arians are eager to take the lead and love power dynamics. Experimenting with different positions and techniques to achieve pleasure, these individuals will keep things interesting and be on the pulse with the latest sexual gadgets.

Leos are notoriously confident and charismatic and enjoy being the centre of attention – in the bedroom and perhaps at naughty parties. They thrive on drama and theatrics though don’t be fooled into thinking Leos are selfish lovers – quite the opposite: their desire for praise and admiration makes them generous and attentive lovers. 

Free-spirited in their approach to sex, Sagittarians crave adventure, exploration and spontaneity. Wanting their partner(s!) to join the fun, they encourage others to let go of inhibitions and embrace pleasure.

When two fire signs come together, expect sparks to fly and a fiery connection that is exhilarating and volatile.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Grounded, practical and sensual, earth signs prioritise physical pleasure and emotional intimacy in their sexual relationships. 

Taureans seek luxury and comfort to develop intimacy and trust with their partner. Experiences are heightened for Taurus individuals when all the senses are teased within a luxurious atmosphere – think: expensive luxury candles, rich melted chocolate, silky lube, sultry music and sumptuous textures.

Virgos value attention to detail and perfection and this extends to their sex lives. Every touch and sensation is considered, and communication and honesty are highly valued in the sexual relationship of a Virgo.

Capricorns are disciplined and practical individuals who desire stability and commitment. They are patient and attentive lovers, always willing to work to create a deep and lasting connection.

When two earth signs come together, loyalty, trust and mutual respect combine to build a deep and enduring connection.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Intellectual, communicative and open-minded, air signs approach sex with curiosity, experimentation and intellectual stimulation. 

Geminis are playful and curious and crave variety and mental connections. Role-playing is a fun way for these individuals to keep things interesting in the bedroom and their intellectual stimulation adds an extra layer of connection to their sexual relations.

Libras seek harmony and partnership and value mutual pleasure and satisfaction. This makes them attentive lovers, desired by many on the dating scene.

Aquarians value innovation and independence and are open-minded and experimental in the bedroom. Eager to explore new ideas and experiences, these individuals might enjoy sex toy subscriptions, reading erotica or dipping their toes into sex parties.

When two air signs come together, the lovers will find a cerebral and eclectic sexual dynamic that can be exciting, if a little unpredictable.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Emotional, intuitive and empathetic, water signs place emotional connection and spiritual bonding above all else in their sexual relationships. 

Cancers value nurture and comfort and are deeply emotional when it comes to sex. They need intimacy before sexual connection so they can fully express their desires and vulnerabilities. For Cancers, sex is a vehicle that deepens a bond.

Scorpios crave intensity and transformation. They’re passionate, mysterious and seductive beings who draw their partners into realms of intense sexual pleasure and surrender.

Pisceans are sensitive and intuitive individuals who seek romantic idealism and fantasy. They value harmony and togetherness and endeavour to connect spiritually with their partner. Compassionate and empathetic lovers, Pisceans are always attuned to their partner’s needs and desires.

When two water signs come together, a deep and soulful connection can transcend lovers, though this can sometimes feel overwhelming.

If you believe in astrology, horoscope predictions can offer valuable insights into how your star sign influences your love and sex life. Understanding what different zodiac signs desire can guide you on your sexual compatibility with others and fulfilment in relationships.
