Best Sex Positions for Your Zodiac Sign

Sure astrology is great for explaining your deepest emotional needs, but it can also tell you the best sex positions for your Zodiac Sign. And that’s way more fun! So whether you’re a complete newbie to astrology or a seasoned veteran looking to spice up your sex life, I guarantee that your Zodiac Sign is gonna provide some very interesting pointers.

Why use astrology to find the best sex positions for your Zodiac Sign?

We’re all conditioned (by porn and romance movies) to think sex needs to look a certain way and ‘should’ get aroused by certain things. I call bullshit.

Forget all the ‘sex tips’ out there. The number one thing that is going to improve your sexual satisfaction is understanding your unique sexual signature.

And that’s where astrology comes in. It gives you permission to do sex your way. It validates that no, you’re not crazy, and there’s a reason why the things that turn you on turn you on (and the same for your turn offs). And, it takes away the comparison and ‘should’s, because your sexual signature in one-of-a-kind.

So as you read, take the tips and insight that feels like one giant permission slip. And leave whatever doesn’t.

Do you look at your Sun sign to find the best sex positions for your Zodiac Sign?

Actually, no. Your Sun sign (Star sign) is not the best indicator of your bedroom flavour. That is more your personality in general, and is too broad for how deep and juicy we’re getting here.

Instead, you want to look at your Mars sign for your bedroom flavour.

The planet Mars in astrology represents our sex drive, what we desire and how (or if) we initiate sex. That’s why it’s the best indicator for the best sex positions for your Zodiac Sign.

You can look up your astrology chart for free here. Locate your Mars sign.

There are of course other aspects of the chart that also influence your sexual personality (such as Venus, the fifth house of pleasure, seventh house of partnerships and eighth house of intimacy), but Mars is the best place to start.

This is a pretty basic interpretation. If you want to get a deeper understanding of how you thrive in intimacy and relationships, book your personalised Astrology Reading!

Mars in Aries

Passionate, bold, assertive.

If your Mars is in Aries, you’ll thrive with sex positions that let you take the lead, show your assertiveness and allow for deep penetration.

Cowgirl: this allows you to take control of the rhythm and set a fast pace for more intensity.
Doggy: best for deep penetration and adding an element of dominance
Standing: brings in some excitement, novelty and physicality (it’s pretty much a workout)

Mars in Taurus

Sensual, patient, pleasure-seeking.

Taurus values gratification of the senses and loves sex that is slow, sensual and comfortable.

Spooning: to create a sense of intimacy, security and relaxation
Lotus Pose: this prioritises intimacy through closeness and eye contact, and forces you to go slow
Sensual Massage: used as foreplay or to add to the experience (bonus points if your massage oil has a few drops of sexy essential oils like sandalwood or rose)

Mars in Gemini

Curious, playful, mentally stimulating.

The catch-phrase for Mars in Gemini is “will try anything once.” So the best sex positions for this Zodiac Sign provide mental stimulation, versatility and an opportunity for communication (by that, I mean dirty talk).

Talking Missionary: the classic position that lets you exchange playful banter or dirty talk while facing each other
Erotic Roleplay: to bring out your playful side that loves to try on different personas
Standing or Quickies: for that element of excitement, spontaneity and variety

Mars in Cancer

Nurturing, emotional, sensitive.

With Mars in Cancer, you need security and closeness to feel aroused. The best sex positions for you allow for slow, gentle and emotionally connected sex.

Spooning: to make you feel physically held, nurtured and cherished
Sensual Massage: this helps you relax into your body and in your space, allowing your desire to increase
Breathing and Eye Gazing: even without penetration, this creates the feeling of emotional closeness and trust

Mars in Leo

Performative, dramatic, passionate.

The sign of Leo loves to express itself, so if your Mars is here then your sex needs to feel visually stimulating and allow you to be the centre of attention.

Royal Throne: straddle your partner on a chair (facing them) to play into this regal and commanding role
Roleplay: use costumes or props to take on dramatic personas and be a little theatrical
Throne of Pleasure: enjoy the centre of attention as you’re seated in a chair while your partner gives you oral pleasure (or vice versa)

Mars in Virgo

Detail-oriented, deliberate, thorough.

For a Mars in Virgo, attention to detail is what makes a sexual experience go from average to mind-blowing. The best sex positions are ones that allow you to pay attention to what your partner likes and lavish each other with attention.

Mutual Masturbation: this allows you to carefully watch your partner’s reactions and pay attention to which erogenous zones or techniques they most like
Roleplay: especially themes of caregiving, service or medical examination that allow you to pay attention to your partner’s needs
Oral Sex: this emphasises that feeling of ‘service’ even more than penetrative sex does

Mars in Libra

Romantic, compromising, submissive.

The sign of Libra loves to feel beautiful and romanced (and maybe bossed around a little). If you have your Mars here, the best sex positions for you are ones that emphasise a little bit of power play and admiration.

Lap Dance: to enjoy feeling watched, admired and desired (especially with some words of validation thrown in)
Mirror Sex: incorporating this visual element will make you feel like you’re in a movie scene
Power Play: experiment with submission through restraints or being told what to do

Mars in Scorpio

Intense, passionate, deep.

Mars in Scorpios are usually thought to have the ‘highest sex drive’ of the Zodiac Signs, but the best sex positions for you actually incorporate a mixture of intensity, power play and emotional intimacy.

Power Play: incorporate power dynamics through restraints and role play
Teasing and Edging: restriction and feelings of control (or losing control) add intensity to sex
Standing Missionary: mixes deep penetration with intense eye contact

Mars in Sagittarius

Adventurous, spontaneous, fun-loving.

For this Mars placement, the best sex positions for your Zodiac Sign are ones that bring in an element of exploration, variety and adventure.

Outdoor Sex: doing it while you’re hiking or camping brings in that feeling of adventure and risk
Standing Quickies: because they’re unplanned and spur-of-the-moment, with minimal foreplay involved
Mile High Club: again, the element of risk and spontaneity is a huge turn on for you

Mars in Capricorn

Dominant, controlling, steady.

With a Capricorn Mars, the best sex positions for you allow you to play with authority, control and dominance to bring that feeling of discipline to your sex life.

Power Play: handcuffs, restraints and discipline are your sexual zones of genius
Teasing and Edging: restriction and delay adds that feeling of dominance and control
Missionary Tied Up: using the element of restriction and a slow and steady build up of pleasure

Mars in Aquarius

Intellectual, detached, experimental.

Mars in Aquarius are usually turned on by anything outside the norm, so the best sex positions for them allow for lots of experimentation. Verbal exchange and an intellectual connection is also a must.

Phone Sex: lots of sexting and video sex is a major turn on because of that element of detachment and verbal banter
Voyeurism: using mirrors or mutual masturbation to watch each other
Talking Missionary: the classic position that lets you exchange playful banter or dirty talk while facing each other

Mars in Pisces

Dreamy, emotional, romantic.

With a Mars in Pisces, focus on sex positions that bring emotional connection, sensory experiences and surrender into the bedroom.

Sensory Experimentation: anything to heighten your senses, like blindfolds, massage, feather touches and ice play
Bath Sex: to make it feel romantic and soothing, especially with scented oils and candles
Side by Side: facing each other on your sides will heighten the emotional connection of your sex
