Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required.
It is only once in a while that Venus makes so many stellar contacts in a 48-hour time-period. Yesterday we watched Venus singing the praises of the Moon, Vesta, Mercury and Pallas. Today the lunar orb unites with Venus in Leo (8:17AM PDT) followed by Venus making an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Chiron (10:54AM PDT) and Pluto (4:48PM PDT), and then Venus connecting with revolutionary Uranus in a flowing trine in fire signs (9:46PM PDT). It was only last Thursday that Chiron in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn forged a supportive, 60-degree alliance. Now Venus in Leo turns that 60-degree link into a Yod or Finger of God triangle sky pattern. Any Yod personifies mysteries and this one has something to do with holistic healing, psychology, metamorphosis, and becoming an agent of world goodwill. Adding emphasis to the healing nature of today’s Venusian powerhouse is the presence of the Sun making a contra-parallel to Chiron (8:24PM PDT). This latter aspect can be tweaked into helping you tune into advances in alternative medicine, wise use of herbs, and meditational techniques that help you coordinate body, mind and spirit. The Venus liaison with Uranus (9:46PM PDT) activates your intuition — giving you a new boost in any of the fine or graphic arts.

You must find ways to express what’s in your imagination today with the surreal Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Fantasy. However, your current desire to escape reality also makes it difficult to follow through with your chores because you would rather be daydreaming than anything else. It can be quite a challenge to channel this slippery energy as material from your subconscious comes to the surface. Thankfully, fulfilling your obligations first frees you up to explore more interesting activities later on.
Your life may appear quite differently to your friends than it does to you. Oddly enough, the more you try to unveil the truth of your feelings today, the more you confuse everyone else. Fortunately, if you can rise above your need to set the record straight, you could be an inspiration to others. It’s more important to cooperate with your cohorts now than it is to be right.
A lack of clarity may cloud your thinking, but you should be able to make the most of your day anyhow if you pay attention to the potential pitfalls. You are ultra-sensitive now and irrational feelings are flooding into your thoughts. Even your sensory impressions can be overwhelming and confusing. Forget about balancing your checkbook or planning the rest of your life; write poetry, listen to music, and dream about your future, instead.
You have fantasies about cutting loose and doing something special. If you haven’t had a real vacation in a while, maybe it’s time to start planning your next getaway. However, you must balance your dreams with a bit of realism if you want them to come true. But don’t be too hard on yourself if you cannot figure out all the logistics today. Let your vision grow unencumbered by facts for a while; there will be time later on to fill in the details.
Be careful because you may be easily misled today by someone you trust. Keep in mind that no one is out to purposefully trick you, but others can inadvertently confuse you if they don’t check all their facts. Furthermore, your logic is blurred by a sudden attraction to fame or fortune. But don’t be distracted by the possibility of your name in lights. Forget about ego concerns and concentrate on taking care of business.
Your ruling planet Mercury is stressed by its opposition to nebulous Neptune today. Your analytical thinking may not be as sharp as it normally is. In fact, reality could be just slightly out of your grasp now, with your mind working overtime in the realms of fantasy. This isn’t necessarily detrimental as long as you remember the difference between fact and fiction.
It’s quite a dreamy day with the Moon traveling through psychic Pisces, which should lighten up nearly any situation, especially if you can find a way to work off some of your excess energy. Your fantasies are so convincing now that it’s difficult to discern the truth. It’s not a great time to trust your own logical thoughts because they are more subjective than you might realize. Your antidote is to do something that allows you to physically engage in fun and return to the real work tomorrow.
Your romantic landscape can become foggy and fraught with traps of misunderstanding today. Do your best to be clear in all your communications with others, without necessarily being overly aggressive about it. You could even fall in love with something or someone if you let your guard down. It’s probably safer to seek pleasure from the creative arts now than from relationships, for nothing is quite as it seems.
You are already on your way to doing something exciting and daring today. You carry an air of spontaneity about you now — even more so than usual. Although your idealism might attract interesting people, it’s hard to find someone who shares your perspective. Don’t worry if you need to say no to a current offer. Limiting your options helps you to accomplish more in the long run than you thought possible.
It might be disconcerting if you cannot finish everything you want to do now. You have your sights aimed high, but you may be so unrealistic that you end up missing your mark completely. You could grow frustrated if you think you should be more practical. Just move forward slowly, because patience really is a virtue to strive for today.
You might have some explaining to do today, but the more you ramble on, the less convincing you sound. Even if you prefer not to say anything at all, you may be enticed into spilling all the beans. Your words don’t quite paint the picture that you see now, so keep reminding yourself to craft your message carefully, make your point succinctly, and then stop talking while you’re ahead.
You’re carrying your feelings close to the surface now, but keeping up appearances just enough so that others aren’t aware of your emotional turbulence. Your guarded behavior is actually an effective tactic, but be careful not to send out too many mixed messages today. Postpone your most important decisions until your clarity returns later this week.
Keep in mind that yesterday’s Full Moon vibrations are still potent. The 48 hours after a solar-lunar monthly apotheosis represent a time-period to distribute the enlightening energy-field just received into the heart and soul of humanity. Assisting you in grounding these forces into practical undertakings is a Sun-Saturn contra-parallel (7:07AM PDT). However, don’t let self-doubts and pessimism get a hold of your consciousness. Logic and hard work can lead to hefty rewards down the road. Dive into creative artistic projects of your choosing — thanks to a flowing trine of 120-degrees from the Moon in Pisces to Venus in Cancer (1:03PM PDT). However, as this lunar sky pattern clocks in, the Moon becomes void-of-course until 10:38PM PDT. During this 9-hour twilight zone, it is best to finish old business on a high note, but not begin new, bold enterprises. Watch out for confusion and chaotic conditions on the partnership front as Mercury makes its annual polarity with hazy Neptune (2:17PM PDT). Try to tweak this alignment by experimenting with a video camera, musical improvisation, off-beat dance routines or eclectic literary style. Utilize the lunar shift into Aries (10:38PM PDT) to plant seeds for new projects that can bear fruit in the next few weeks.
*Saturday(Saturn): Longevity, exorcism, endings, homes and houses.

Feelings flow freely with a Full Moon in dreamy Pisces setting the tone on Friday morning. This lunar opposition to the Sun in realistic Virgo represents a potential conflict between emotions and obligations. Make the time to take care of business so that it doesn’t get in the way when you’re ready to play. Imaginative Pisces can spur romantic feelings that flourish in a fantasy world. Getting away from ordinary activities to tap into the magic of music, art, and nature help us let go of stress, drop resentment or anger, and connect in uncomplicated ways. The Moon’s dynamic square with enthusiastic Jupiter adds optimism to Friday evening, encouraging adventurous behavior.
We can float through Saturday on the wings of imagination before a late night lunar entry into fiery Aries kicks into gear. We’re out of the clouds and into a world of immediate and strong reactions. This may be exciting, but it’s unlikely to be calm or peaceful. Breaking ground by connecting with someone new or pushing the social envelop has its risks.
Sunday’s especially complex with the Moon’s stressful midday aspects to provocative Pluto and rebellious Uranus pushing us to extremes. Freedom needs rise along with restlessness that’s best met by exploring different kinds of people and experiences
Get ready for a very special Full Moon! Not only is the Full Moon in Pisces on August 31 about compassion and spirituality, but it’s also a Blue Moon — which only happens every, well, once in a Blue Moon.
This Full Blue Moon in Pisces is special because of its ability to melt boundaries between people. It’s all about compassion and feeling empathy for others, and it’s a time when we are connected with many unseen spiritual forces.
Now is a time to forgive people, let go of worry and grudges, step back from the pressures of your daily routine and tap into something larger than you. Imagination will be heightened now, so use it to find your own sense of peace.
It’s important to note this Full Moon in Pisces is also forming an opposition aspect to the Virgo Sun, which could add a critical element to the Full Moon’s energy.
Virgo is very precise and detail oriented, where Pisces is more dreamy and abstract. Therefore, this opposition could pit compassion against criticism, free-flowing thoughts against particular details, and going with the flow vs. over-analyzing everything.
That could create some friction, but if you can remember to just go with the flow around this Full Moon, there will be no limits when it comes to putting your feelings and faith into action.
Friday, August 31, 6:58 am PDT, 9:58 am EDT
The Pisces Moon seeks to wash away the boundaries between us and within us. It’s about dissolving the differences that keep us apart from others and from ourselves. The goal is communion and the way to reach it is with compassion. Yet this is a lunar opposition to the Sun in precise and particular Virgo where every little detail counts. Knowing when to focus on specifics and when to let them fade into the background is the story of this Full Moon. While feelings are more sensitive and spirituality enhanced by the Moon’s conjunction with Pisces’ ruling planet Neptune, an energetic trine from passionate Mars in Scorpio provides an instinctual sense of direction and focus when it’s time to put dreams and faith into action
August 2012 began with a Full Moon activating Leo Sun and Aquarius Moon on the first day of the month, and it ends with a Full Moon activating Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon on the last day of the month. It is very odd and rare to have this cosmic bookend-type experience affecting all of our lives. This Full Moon cornucopia of potential enlightenment — energizing 9 degrees of Virgo and Pisces at 6:59AM PDT — arrives on the scene with the suggestion that individual and group meditations will help to send out healing thoughts and prayers to uplift humanity and the kingdoms of nature. However, before the Full Moon even takes place, the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Pallas (4:35AM PDT) while also forming a somewhat frictional, 45-degree link with Venus (5:53AM PDT). It is clearly unsettling for this Full Moon to be happening with an air of mental discord and emotional fatigue on the horizon. Making a healing rescue attempt of sorts are the monthly Moon union with Chiron in Pisces (4:39AM PDT) followed, after the Full Moon, by a Moon-Chiron parallel (8:41AM PDT) as well as a nurturing, productivity-enhancing 30-degree alliance from Venus to Ceres (12:40PM PDT). If you combine your efficiency and organizational skills with a caring-sensitive heart and altruistic soul, then much can be accomplished today. It also helps from the practical side of human affairs that Mercury enters one of its two ruling signs — Virgo — at 7:33PM PDT. Be a whirlwind of talent with your favorite arts, crafts and hobbies this evening. Let your business acumen flourish as Mercury forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with investment-savvy Vesta (7:48PM PDT). Get set for a tricky start to September tomorrow as the Sun moves toward a contra-parallel to Saturn while Mercury gears up for its annual opposition with dreamy and potentially confusing Neptune.
*Friday (Venus): Love, friendship, reconciliation and beauty.

You might not be able to express your feelings easily today, yet you’re very clear about your position. You have a responsibility to a group of people, family or work associates, and you believe that you should withhold your personal perspective for the good of everyone involved. This discretion is a smart move and others will appreciate your self-restraint. Just be sure to stay in touch with your emotions even if you keep them to yourself now.
You’re normally capable of staying calm in a tough situation, but this detachment could lead to an emotional storm later if intense feelings finally overflow their banks. This could be one of those times when inconsequential matters provoke strong responses that are out of proportion with the current events. Look within to find the true source of your angst before making an unnecessary scene.
Your senses are extra sharp today, giving you the ability to apply logic to a complex set of circumstances. You’re able to see beneath the surface and understand why things are the way they are as long as you don’t jump to a conclusion without considering the facts. Ineffective arguments cannot stand up to your mental acuity now, so strip away the fluff and go for the core issues. The right words hold the power to make real changes.
A sharp word can be piercing today, quickly stimulating an old emotional wound. Thankfully, this criticism could be a healing experience if the source is someone you trust. Acknowledging the pain frees you from its grip, providing that you are really ready to let go. It’s natural to hold on to the past, but sometimes the price is too high. You have much to gain if you can listen with a flexible mind and an open heart.
Your power of persuasion is quite strong today. Fortunately, you can convince anyone of almost anything if you have your story in order, along with all the facts. It’s the combination of precision and passion that puts you over the top. Rehearse your presentation if you must, but get it right the very first time because you may not get a second chance.
There is a delicate balance between clearly stating your position and coming across as being overly critical. Pick the right situations to express yourself so you can avoid the need to correct any social errors. However, even if you believe you’re being helpful today, others may feel attacked. A little diplomacy and tact goes a long way to soothe fragile nerves.
You’re in a rather playful mood today, ready to toss out an occasional flippant remark. But be careful with the teasing because others may not get your jokes. You’re exceptionally creative now, so you might want to go back to a project you recently set aside and make a few more adjustments. You have a good sense of what to keep and what to purge, enabling you to turn a rough idea into a polished product.
The key to your current success now is in understanding your priorities. Luckily, you should have a keen sense of which projects need your attention at this time, so cut through the clutter and get to the essentials as quickly as possible. However, communicating your message to others requires clarity and patience. Don’t expect anyone to work effectively without precise instructions. Take your time and say exactly what you mean to get the job done right.
Your imagination is often so filled with big ideas that it’s difficult to know which ones are most relevant. You may feel pressured to make a choice today and, fortunately, the sense of urgency works in your favor by forcing you to get off the fence. Nevertheless, it’s still hard to pick one path over all the other possibilities. Instead of getting lost in endless analysis now, trust your intuition.
Being cynical can be a curse because you tend to take a negative view that rules out a great number of possibilities. However, healthy skepticism brings you the ability to see the differences between empty promises and real prospects. An idea that you recently rejected may seem useful today, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Push past your personal preferences to find the deeper truth.
The Moon in your sign increases your mental fortitude. You can use intellectual force combined with your power of intent to get what you want. However, you might become so passionate in your beliefs now that you ignore others, refusing to listen to what’s being said. Don’t fall prey to thinking that you know more about the truth than anyone else does. Use your imagination today along with your intelligence.
Usually, you feel honored when people trust you enough to tell you their secrets. However, your knowledge of sensitive information can become problematic today. It’s difficult to know how much to keep to yourself and what can be shared now on a need-to-know basis. Telling secrets has tremendous power to help or to hinder. Nurture those you love by considering their needs before saying something you might later regret.
If you were thinking this might be a cream-puff kind of day where it would be easy to be successful around the horn, think again. Four potentially difficult sky patterns are scattered throughout the day while a 4+ hour void lunar cycle can behave as an added prankster. Giving you fits are the annual Sun-Chiron opposition (12:25AM PDT), Venus making an abrasive, 135-degree link to Chiron (2:38AM PDT), the Sun mixing it up with radical-change agent Uranus via an off-kilter, 150-degree tie (8:58AM PDT) while the Moon in Aquarius is void from 10:49AM PDT to 3:32PM PDT, and Mercury forms a potentially volatile contra-parallel with the red planet Mars (9:06PM PDT). Three of the four aspects sound fairly discordant — although you may be able to tweak the Sun-Chiron polarity into providing you with waves of healing sustenance just when it is needed. The shift of the Moon from being void in Aquarius to entering the psychic waters of Pisces (3:32PM PDT) reminds you to be more compassionate and empathic to the downtrodden and truly needy. Heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul communions can occur this evening as the Moon unites with the universal love-wisdom agent we know as Neptune (6:21PM PDT). However, addictive behavior can lead you on a cosmic detour. Thus, be a clear thinker and lift up your consciousness in preparation for tomorrow’s powerful Full Moon experience.

You may spend much of the weekend feeling like an outsider with the mysterious Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Obscurity until late Saturday night. Time spent alone or with one inspirational person provides the quiet and contemplative space you need. Then the Moon blasts into your incendiary sign to pump you up with excitement. However, tough lunar aspects with outer planets Pluto and Uranus can expose secrets and spring surprises on Sunday.
Misreading the intentions of others is possible on Friday with a hypersensitive Pisces Full Moon and an edgy aspect involving your romantic ruling planet Venus. Her semisquare with the willful Sun represents wounded pride if you take critical comments to heart. But this is more about proving your worth to yourself than seeking external approval. Treating yourself with tenderness is the best way to get everyone else to do the same.
A major breakthrough in relationships is possible with Friday’s Pisces Full Moon illuminating your 7th House of Partners. What you may realize is that feelings count more than facts and that you shouldn’t let petty issues get in the way of your instincts. Forgive and forget if that’s what it takes to let go of an old wound. Imagination will inspire you to get closer with the one you’re with or allow you to connect with a kind and creative new person.
There’s no holding back your feelings with Friday’s evocative Full Moon in sister water sign Pisces. Truth has a way of leaking out, even when you are keeping it from yourself. Ultimately, this emotional exposure can be a relief and allows you to regain trust in a relationship. Getting away from it all is a great way to celebrate this new found freedom, whether you’re currently single or have a supportive partner to keep you company. Imagination and compassion are the magic ingredients that help to restore your faith in love.
The spiritual Pisces Full Moon on Friday shines a bright light on vulnerability in relationships. It occurs in your 8th House of Intimacy to bring more honesty to a partnership, which may not be fun but can bring you closer to the one you love. This creative transit inspires your imagination. You’re able to readily change roles and shift your attitude according to the circumstances. Letting go and trusting the flow makes it a pleasure to connect.
You need a little love and tenderness this weekend with Friday’s delicate Pisces Full Moon occurring in your 7th House of Partners. Don’t sweat the small stuff since there may be more important issues at stake. Overlooking petty differences creates a magical connection but it can be easily broken by unnecessary criticism. Put the real world on hold to let imagination open the way to romance. Don’t worry about the future so you can truly enjoy the magic of the moment.
Relationship action gets hot and heavy on Saturday night when the Moon fires into irrepressible Aries and your 7th House of Partnerships. You could be more impulsive than usual or connect with individuals who lack patience. The line between flirting and fighting grows very thin now, turning attraction into aggression if you take things too far. Still, it’s better to make waves by standing up for yourself than accepting unkind treatment. Loving yourself enables others to love you too.
Your sex appeal is off the charts with Friday’s hypnotic Pisces Full Moon lighting up your 5th House of Romance. You can create your own fantasy world and attract companions to play with you in it. Coming across in an easygoing way makes you especially desirable. Demonstrating your generosity and being undemanding is a great way to gain trust. Don’t focus so hard on your own desires that you fail to recognize what others want.
Laying low until late Saturday night gives you a chance to grab plenty of rest to prepare for the action to come. Once the Moon fires into spontaneous Aries and your 5th House of Romance let the fun and games begin, especially when they involve new people or activities. You can grab attention in an instant but if you aren’t careful, you might kick up some opposition with tense lunar aspects to rebellious Pluto and Uranus on Sunday. Stop and think before you overreact.
Conversations rooted in compassion where you listen with your heart are the keys to making romance happen this week. The spiritual Pisces Full Moon brightens your communicative 3rd House on Friday, warming you with tenderness. Read between the lines to get the real meaning of what’s being said instead of skimming the surface. Being fully present with your eyes and ears creates deeper connections that go beyond words.
The Moon traveling through your sign from Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon brings your feelings to the surface. But simply putting them out there might not get the desired response. Tense planetary patterns encourage unvarnished honesty, which isn’t easy for others to take in. If you consider the impact of what you’re about to say, you can find gracious ways to express yourself that are more likely to be understood and appreciated.
There’s no keeping your emotions out of sight on Friday with an expressive Full Moon in your super-sensitive sign. If you’re in a good place now, this vulnerability can make you especially enchanting to others. However, self-pity is not going to help your cause, so work out the hard stuff privately instead of displaying it to the world. Besides, the highest potential of this Full Moon is found in recognizing that you need to take responsibility for your feelings. Your happiness is found in your own heart.
This is a day of compromise for you sometimes-uncompromising Rams. The good news is that you are willing to soften your hard edges now. Your uncharacteristic gentleness enables you to meet others halfway. In turn, this sensitivity allows you to avoid unnecessary conflict. But don’t give in too quickly or you’ll end up settling for too little and resenting your current situation.
You may wish that you could take the day off, but you have responsibilities that need your undivided attention. The sooner you accept that work comes before play today, the easier it will be to improve your attitude. Although just meeting your obligations will get you by, don’t take the lazy way out now. Be practical and make use of the Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Habits by making positive changes to your daily routine that move you in a healthier direction.
Your most important responsibilities may be temporarily put on the back burner for a while today. But your need to relax doesn’t automatically mean you can avoid your obligations. Then again, you don’t need permission from anyone to honor your needs as long as you also deliver on what you promised. Go ahead and be spontaneous. Have yourself some good old-fashioned fun, but cover your bases.
You might be required to make a decision that affects your home and family today; however, you would prefer waiting to see how things develop. Unfortunately, things can come to a head so you really should take your current situation seriously. Ambivalence won’t get you through this one, but hiding your feelings won’t work either. Come out of your protective shell and show your true colors, even if revealing your opinions feels like risky business.
Your even-handed approach to life now can be your greatest strength. Being fair and objective takes some mental effort, but is well worth it. The alternative is to rely on your charm, but this strategy will likely leave you short of your goal. Use your common sense to sift through a variety of possibilities and then do your best to find common ground that’s acceptable to all.
It’s time to think about new ways to accomplish your goals now because the old methods may be growing stale. It’s helpful to take a few deep breaths before you act so you can think about what’s most important to you. Even if you already made up your mind yesterday, review your decision today. But don’t wallow in self-doubt; pick a path and be confident as you proceed.
Although you’re moodier than usual with the evocative Moon in your sign, you can trust your feelings now. Even if you’re dreaming of a perfect day today, you’re also thinking about some deeper psychological issues that you have wrestled with before. Thankfully, you have newfound hope for resolution or change. Use your natural instincts to look at both sides of the situation before choosing which one to support.
There’s a lot you’re not saying today, but then again, you may not be aware that something is still missing from the picture. Unfortunately, what you don’t notice now can come back and bite you later on. Your best defense is to think about the unthinkable. Push your own buttons by exploring your fear of change. If you can face the dark, you might just realize that the unknown is not as scary as it seems from a distance.
You’re no stranger to living in the future since you often aim your arrows of thought toward the next possible adventure. However, you must bring your big ideas down to earth today or you might face disappointment later on. Instead of fantasizing about an unrealistic journey around the world, start planning a less ambitious activity that you could actually manifest. It’s better now to set a goal that you can reach than one that will remain beyond your grasp.
Other people are depending on you and the pressure is palpable today. Escape might sound like a good idea, but you know that you cannot quit before the job is done. Although you may feel as if you are in over your head, don’t entertain the possibility of failure now. Fortunately, you know exactly what you must do, so bite the bullet and get to work. There will be time enough for rest once you’re done.
It feels as if you’re riding on a roller coaster lately. Although you might have been lost in fantasyland yesterday, there’s very little room for any kind of escape today. There will be no idle dreaming of your alternate life on a tropical beach because you have serious work to finish now. Instead of being angry about the unchangeable circumstances, use your emotions to fuel your superhero efforts. It seems like you’re facing a final exam, but with dedication and perseverance you’ll surely pass with flying colors.
You have something important to say now, but it’s hard to put your complex emotions into words. Ironically, you’re just as impatient with others for not understanding you as you are with yourself for not speaking clearly. The harder you try to get your point across, the more confusion sets in. Be smart and watch the signals; if your message isn’t connecting with anyone, stop pushing. You’ll be more successful if you start up the conversation again tomorrow after everyone has had time to chill out.

I’ve always had great luck with Capricorns. Tauruses? Yawn. Geminis? Maybe, if you like all that talking. Leos? Self-absorbed drama queens. My romantic history is a constellation of personalities and capabilities and experiences, but there’s obviously something about my Virgo sensibilities that jibes with the patience that the average Capricorn bestows upon the act of tossing a girl’s salad. Or did you think I was talking about something else? We’re not interested in love matches here, people. This is all about that other kind of chemistry and which signs of the Zodiac are guaranteed to be a good time and which might be a great time.
Aries: The Minute Man
This fire sign is known for being a pretty straight shooter. Aries will have no compunction at all about sharing his or her raunchiest ideas about what to do in the sack. The problem with straight shooters, though, is that they always like to get right to the point. So count on an Aries to take charge and get you where you want to go—in a hurry.
Taurus: The Romancer
Where Aries is all lusty impulse, Taurus takes his or her time. Plan on being wined and dined, perhaps to the point of frustration. And once the Taurus has decided you’re the one for the job, prepare yourself for plenty of foreplay. If romance is your thing, Taurus is your sign.
Gemini: The Talker
The Gemini will bring all his or her intellect to bear upon getting bare. If you have simpler, quieter tastes, you might be a little shocked by Gemini’s saucy, seductive monologues. But if phone sex and dirty talking gets your motor humming, a Gemini is what you’re looking for. But be prepared to not get a word in edgewise.
Cancer: The Love Maker
Cancers are highly emotional signs, which means that sex is not merely a mechanical physical undertaking; rather it is expected to be a poetic act of beauty and love and all that good stuff. If you’re going to get naked with a Cancer, prepare yourself for an intense ride. And perhaps some post-coital crying.
Leo: The Narcissist
The passionate and adventurous nature of the Leo cannot be surpassed. There is no end to the imaginative ways a Leo will come up with for you to pleasure him or her. Those cats are born sexual dominants who ooze lusty confidence, and they’re unapologetic about it. While your romp with the lion will be memorable, for sure, best remember your satisfaction will be a secondary matter.
Virgo: The Closet Nympho
You might be surprised to learn that shy, demurring Virgo would ever be ready to rock without than fistfuls of condoms and spanking clean bed sheets. The reserved demeanor of the earthy virgins doesn’t hint at their inner lustiness. Once your Virgo knows and trusts you, watch out. You won’t get a moment’s peace.
Libra: The Connoisseur
The Libra is an artiste when it comes to knocking boots. They seek out a perfect harmony with their partner, luxuriating in every detail, and they go big on romantic accoutrements such as lingerie, massage oil, and soft music. You know, so it’s just like a bad porno—perhaps it even includes a fortuitously timed visit from the pizza guy.
Scorpio: The Leg-Humper
Fiery, licentious Scorpio is the horn dog of the zodiac. While their sexual prowess and magnetism can hardly be ignored, getting in bed with a scorpion can have its sting. While you will probably get the ride of your life, Scorpio’s love ’em and leave ’em approach to sex could leave less lusty signs cold.
Sagittarius: The Don Juan (or Juanita)
A master of the art of seduction, a Sagittarius is all about the hunt. They hone their powers of seduction, pouncing upon their objects of desire only after rendering them utterly helpless in the face of their sexual deftness.
Capricorn: The Slow Boat
Capricorn can come across as a lumbering kind of lover. Slow to make the first move, patient to the point of impertinence once the ball does get rolling, Caps may not wow with skill and energy in the sack, but they will steadily, diligently apply themselves to the all-you-can-eat buffet of their lover. Be patient with a Capricorn, and you will be well rewarded.
