Sex and astrology have played a role in the shaping of human lives for millennia, but did you know that you can learn a lot of about someone's relationship to sex from their natal chart?
This is way more than sun signs. For sexual astrology, you'll want to get familiar with a few planets and placements in your chart.
Three of the most notable being Mars, Venus and the 5th house.
Mars, the red planet, is aptly named astrology-wise as the traits of this planet are passion, energy and high sex drive.
And Venus is the planet of beauty, love, and what we find to be valuable in others. The 5th house is all about pleasure, sex, recreation and what makes us feel alive.
So when we want to understand sexual astrology, we look to Mars, Venus, and the 5th house.
But first, you need to know your own natal chart to see where your Mars, Venus, and 5th house are.
Café Astrology has a pretty good birth chart that tells you everything you want to know.
Sex and Astrology, everything you need to know about your sex horoscope
There are a lot of places to look in a natal chart for information about love, partnership, sexuality and romance, but today we're going to focus on sex and lovemaking specifically.
Most everyone these days knows their sun, moon and rising signs, but astrology charts are a lot more complex than that.
What we'll be focusing on today is Mars sign personalities and how that dictates what type of lover you are. The planet of sexual needs and desires can be very telling about the energy you bring to the bedroom...
…and aren't you curious about which Mars sign is most compatible with yours?
We'll cover that too! Your most exciting partners will have a Mars that's in the same mode as you.
There are 3 modes in astrology: cardinal, fixed, and mutable. The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. They all like to be in positions of power. The fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. They like things done their way. The mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. These people are playful and hard to hold onto.
Signs in the same mode often butt heads but, after all, you have to hit two stones together to start a spark and light a fire!
Mars in Aries
Mars is the ruling planet of Aries, meaning that the energy of Mars comes second nature to this zodiac sign. Aries Mars people are passionate, excitable, and 10/10 will ride off into the sunset on the back of a motorcycle with a hot stranger no matter the inherent danger (actually, the danger is why it's hot). If you or someone you know has an Aries Mars it's pretty much guaranteed that they have an interesting sex life!
When it comes to love making Aries Mars is right there in the moment. This sign of the zodiac prefers not to plan things like sex out in advance, and instead wants to be led by their animal instinct and desires, so if your zodiac sign likes it that way, then Aries Mars is a good match for you.

Mars in Taurus
Mars and Taurus don't really get along, because Mars wants to move fast and strike now, but Taurus wants to take it slow and smell the flowers. Taurus is a Venus ruled sign, so when it comes to love making it's all about feeling good and having a beautiful experience with your partner.
Taurus is an incredibly sensual sign, so it's not just about the act of sex, it's about cultivating an entire experience. They love the build up of flirting, lighting candles, and a pre sex massage-all necessary details for a Taurus Mars sexual partner. And Taurus rules over the neck, so it's very likely that it's an erogenous zone for this zodiac sign, meaning the more kisses on the neck the better.
Highest compatibility with Leo
Mars in Gemini
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, so mental stimulation is really important for these people. intimacy is created in the mind-you have to tickle their brain and invite their curiosity in order to ignite their more sexual desires.
Gemini Mars people can get bored more easily than most, so introducing sex toys into the bedroom is one way to hold their focus while also catering to their innate curiosity. Having a lot of sexual experience when it comes to toys isn't necessary because having fun and laughing together is all a part of the foreplay when you're a Gemini Mars.
Highest compatibility with Virgo
Mars in Cancer
Mars in Cancer is the relationship type sex. Being ruled by the moon, this water sign is interested in emotional depth and finding a feeling of home in another person. Sexual chemistry is built with this astrological sign when they feel like they've established a genuine emotional connection.
Unless they have more extroverted placements in their chart, this sign is going to need the other person to make the first move since Cancer can be pretty coy and shy about their more passionate feelings.
Highest compatibility with Libra
Mars in Leo
Leo rules over the heart, so sex is all about fiery feelings with a Leo Mars person. Leo also happens to be ruled by the sun—where Leo is in your chart is where the sun shines—this means that sex is incredibly important to a Leo Mars.
Leo is known for being the performer of the zodiac, that's not to say that you should anticipate anything false, but more so that a sexual act should be exciting and entertaining for both parties. They will be most attracted to lovers who treat them like the star of the show.
Highest compatibility with Taurus
Mars in Virgo
Mars feels very contained in perfectionist Virgo. In fact, Virgo is touted to be the most critical and high strung sign of the zodiac, so few lovers make the cut in their sex book. That's not to say that this zodiac sign doesn't know how to get down, they do-especially if their sun sign is Aries.
Think about it, a perfectionist in the bedroom is going to work hard and stop at nothing to make sure that their mate is getting everything they need. Focusing on the details in bed is the highest form of intimacy from this partner. Plus, this earth sign definitely has a freaky side, just ask if they wanna go fool around in nature and see what they say.
Highest compatibility with Gemini
Mars in Libra
Libra is the sign of the scales which is representative of Libra's need for everything to be balanced and fair, so a turn off for this Mars sign is going to be tension and arguments. Being a Venus ruled sign, Libra wants sex to be beautiful and full of happiness, it's an expression of love after all!
This sign of the zodiac rules over the hips and the lower back so, after getting consent, be sure to give some extra love and some sweet small kisses to this area. They are sure to love this sweet, sexual expression of love.
Highest compatibility with Cancer
Mars in Scorpio
Mars is actually the traditional ruler of Scorpio, so this is a very natural placement to have. Unlike easily excitable Aries, this placement is all about deep soul connection. That's not to say that Scorpio Mars only wants relationship sex-this astrology sign does rule over the genitals and sex organs after all-this star sign just tends to have a darker approach to sexual desire.
When taking a Scorpio Mars to bed one thing to keep in mind is that Pluto is the modern ruler of this sign. Pluto is the lord of the Underworld, so when it comes to sex, this person needs the freedom to explore taboos (safely and consensually, of course). Their sex drive might be insatiable but at least you'll never get bored if you're their lover!
Highest compatibility with Aquarius
Mars in Sagittarius
Mars in Sagittarius is the type to say something bold and out of pocket, yet honest and hilarious, so you can expect cheesy pick up lines from this placement. Sagittarius is connected to world travel, so they're not here for a long time, they're here for a good time and to share some stories (and sex) along the way.
A big turn on for Sagittarian folks is heated debates. If you use an uninhibited amount of curse words and have an accent you can prepare for seduction from this fire sign. Sagittarius rules over the thighs, so whether you have this placement, or you're trying to woo someone with this placement, showing a little leg can't hurt.
Highest compatibility with Pisces
Mars in Capricorn
Mars is ruled by Saturn who's generally thought to be a big bore in the astrology world, but when it comes to sex he's the life of the party. The tarot card associated with Capricorn is The Devil, symbolizing indulgence and physical pleasure. So yeah, this Zodiac sign makes for an exciting lover.
The thing about Capricorn Mars and sex is that it's all about power play, whether it's a sub dom relationship or there is a lengthy age gap between them and their partner. Capricorn people are used to being the boss in their day to day lives, so sometimes the best stress reliever is having someone else take care of business. Taking charge is a major turn on here!
Highest compatibility with Aries
Mars in Aquarius
The approach to Aquarius Mars intimacy is a mental one. As an air sign, Aquarius Mars is going to be most turned on by intellect and stimulating conversations. It's not just all nerd stuff and boring facts though, if you make a witty joke, utilize sarcasm at the right time, or talk about one of their favorite books they will be imagining taking you to bed.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, so this Zodiac sign prefers weird and interesting lovers. But Aquarius is also a humanitarian sign, always looking towards revolution and evolution, so if one of your desires is to add someone else into the bedroom, Aquarius Mars will be down for that kind of exploration.
Highest compatibility with Scorpio
Mars in Pisces
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of fantasy, creativity, spirituality and dreams. This astrology sign is also noted for feeling a very deep connection to all living beings on earth, so spiritual compatibility with their lovers is a must.
Something that might be really rewarding for this sign is role playing with a partner. It's very Piscean to day dream, so bringing a little bit of fantasy to lovemaking will ignite playful passion in them.
Highest compatibility with Sagittarius
Sexual Astrology Matchmaking
Sexual encounters require communication no matter what your zodiac sign is. Sexual compatibility is nothing without asking questions, talking about your needs and favorite positions, prioritizing your lovers sexual pleasure, respecting their sexuality, and not shaming others for their desires. Astrology and zodiac signs are fun ways to learn about how others love, but every mate has a unique relationship to sex, and nothing is sexier than a safe, respectful sexual encounter.
