Aries: The Ram (March 21 to April 19)(01 of12)
Open Image ModalAries are considered strong-willed perfectionists who have high expectations for themselves and others. If sex is beginning to feel too planned and perfect for you or your Aries partner, try this exercise suggested by Marin: have each partner write down everything they’d be willing to try in the bedroom, including things they’ve done before and ones they haven’t. Put each activity on a separate slip of paper, throw all the slips into a jar, then pluck one out and do what it says. "This fun exercise will help you break out of your preconceived and preplanned notions of sex,” Marin says.
Taurus: The Bull (April 20 to May 20) (02 of12)
Open Image ModalJust like a real bull, Taurus lovers can be stubborn. "Let go of your stubbornness by allowing your partner be in complete charge during a sexual interaction,” Marin says for people who struggle with their stubborn nature. "Let them decide what you do and when you do it."
Gemini: The Twins (May 21 to June 20)(03 of12)
Open Image ModalCancer: The Crab (June 21 to July 22)(04 of12)
Open Image ModalMore like Cancer the crabby, sometimes this sign craves stability and is ruled by gut feelings. They can often be moody. The next time you or your Cancer partner is feeling blue, try some sexual healing. "The rush of hormones that accompanies sex and orgasm has been proven to improve people's moods,” Marin says. "The next time you're feeling in a funk, try some sexy therapy."
Leo: The Lion (July 23 to Aug. 22) (05 of12)
Open Image ModalThis bold sign loves the spotlight, but is also loving and generous. Leos can take advantage of their flare for the dramatic in the bedroom by trying out some role playing, Marin says. "You can elevate a simple doctor-patient fantasy to an entirely new level by really digging into your character.”
Virgo: The Virgin (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)(06 of12)
Open Image ModalVirgos are focused and analytical, and tend to keep their emotions inward — sometimes tough qualities to have in a lover. But you can bring that mental focus into lovemaking, Marin says. "A fun way to incorporate your brain into your sex life is to play 'Hot and Cold' with your partner. Have them kiss all over your body, and tell them when they're getting 'warmer' and 'colder.'"
Libra: The Scales (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)(07 of12)
Open Image ModalJustice holding the scales symbolizes Libra, a sign obsessed with balance and fairness. They focus more on the mental than the physical, and love to surround themselves with beautiful things. "If you're a visual person, try keeping the lights on during sex, or having daytime sex,” Marin notes. "So many people have sex in pitch darkness, which takes away the fun visual element."
Scorpio: The Scorpion (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)(08 of12)
Open Image ModalScorpios feel things deeply, even if they can sometimes sting with their words. If you want to take advantage of that passionate and emotional mindset, Marin suggests missionary sex, which involves a lot of eye contact with your partner.
Sagittarius: The Centaur (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)(09 of12)
Open Image ModalThese sharp, energetic people are always looking for reinvention and like to wander. Keep things exciting and interesting by bringing in new activities regularly. Enjoy some well-written erotica together, or visit a sex shop and each pick something to surprise the other with.
Capricorn: The Goat (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) (10 of12)
Open Image ModalGoats love to have a plan, and are great at putting an evening together. But Marin says they also keep their feelings close to the vest. Be patient when it comes to sharing fantasies, and give Caps the lead on researching something fun for you to try together.
Aquarius: The Water Bearer (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)(11 of12)
Open Image ModalAquarians are known for being unorthodox and unconventional, which can translate to a lot of fun in the bedroom. "Play up your adventurous side and try exploring some kink,” Marin says. If it’s new to you, a blindfold is a fun way to start, and if you want to explore further, visit an adult store and look into your many options for spicing things up.
Pisces: The Fish (Feb. 19 by March 20)(12 of12)
Open Image ModalThis insightful, emotional sign is selfless to a fault, which can unfortunately translate into unmet needs in the bedroom. If your partner is a Pisces, take the time to find out what he or she really wants and put the focus on those needs. If you’re a Pisces, work to make your desires heard and met in the bedroom, even if it goes against your nature. You’ll be glad you did!
