Sexual Compatibility by Zodiac Sign: Here's Who'll Light Your Fire

While "Hey, baby, what's your sign?" may not be the sexiest pick-up line ever created, the world of zodiac sexual compatibility can be positively tantalizing. Just like how astrology can predict how two signs may get along personality-wise, the stars above may also hint at how well they connect within the bedroom. Along with character, disposition and communication preferences, there are also aspects of sexuality and sex drives commonly associated with each star sign. Based on this, astrology experts can determine the zodiac sexual compatibility of pairings and what they may need to succeed between the sheets.

It goes without saying (but we'll say it anyway) that sexual compatibility—again, just like relationship compatibility—is based on plenty of factors that include your emotional connection and individual communication styles. But that doesn't mean that it isn't fun to learn more about zodiac sexual compatibility. In fact, it can open up the door on conversations about sex and sexuality, helping you and your partner connect on a deeper level.

Below, learn who your best bedroom match is based on your zodiac sign and the sexual preferences of each one.

Aries Sexual Compatibility

As explained by our star-sign expert, San Francisco, California-based professional astrologer and tarot card reader Charlie Letzelter, Aries are commonly as fiery as their flame sign when it comes to bedroom romps. Passionate and assertive, they go crazy for exciting and intense sexual encounters—but can become frustrated if their sex life becomes too routine.

Who is Aries most sexually compatible with?

Due to their high sex drive and competitive strike, Aries are highly compatible with Scorpios who value intense experiences and deep connection. Moreover, both signs' desire for control can lead to some particularly fervent encounters. The open-minded Sagittarius is also a good match for Aries, as a Sag's eagerness to try new things will keep their sex lives from becoming stagnant.

Taurus Sexual Compatibility

The slow and sensual Taurus are as reliable as their tried-and-true turn-ons. Think: classic seduction, a strong emotional connection and tons of slow and sexy foreplay. A long make-out session after a candlelit dinner? Yes please, says the Taurus.

Both the Taurus and Cancer possess a strong need for communication and words of affirmation, which often translates to a sex life where individual needs are being well met through the power of a healthy sexual dialogue. The cerebral Virgo is another potential match for Taurus—both star signs lead with mental connection, with a strong sexual connection soon to follow.

Gemini Sexual Compatibility

Geminis are amongst the most talkative of all the star signs, according to Letzelter, and their socially adventurous nature extends to in between the sheets. They love the novelty of new experiences, mixing things up and even a little dirty talk now and then. Romps with Geminis are typically full of enthusiasm and fun.

Who is Gemini most sexually compatible with?

The eternally curious Aquarius makes perfect sense as a sexually compatible match for Geminis. Neither sign is afraid of trying something new—with consent, of course—and are naturally open-minded. Playful, lighthearted sexual encounters will be a hallmark of this relationship.

Cancer Sexual Compatibility

Sentimental and fiercely private, Cancers crave authentic, meaningful relationships and connection over flings. This, coupled with how they typically take a while to open up, leads to emotionally intense sensual encounters once trust and intimacy are well established. Fun fact: Nurturing Cancers are known to be one of the best cooks and biggest foodies among the star signs. Aphrodisiacs, anyone?

Who is Cancer most sexually compatible with?

Both Cancer and Taurus see the value in building intimacy over time. While they both will participate in—and truly appreciate—seduction, Taurus will take the bull by the horns (so to speak) when it comes to initiating sex; something that the low-key and reserved Cancer may struggle with. Together, their slow and sensual love-making sessions will be the stuff of legends.

Leo Sexual Compatibility

Haters will say that Leos are overdramatic, but their passion and predilection for all things over-the-top equates to erotic and enthusiastic sexual encounters. Since they love to be the star of the show, they get off by getting off. Ensure that they're sexually satisfied first and they will eagerly return the favor.

Who is Leo most sexually compatible with?

Leo and Sagittarius are both fire signs with wild sides. Steamy, intense bedroom romps are typical in this pairing—and said sex isn't necessarily confined to that bedroom, by the way. These adventurous signs will love exploring new, spicy experiences together.

Virgo Sexual Compatibility

Virgos are known for their Type-A personalities and stellar organizational skills. Need a bach party planned, STAT? Leave it to a Virgo. Those traits extend to the bedroom: They desire sex as part of their regular routine, but that definitely doesn't mean they're boring. They're orderly planners, sure, but are totally down to try new things and positions. (Just put it on the calendar, first.)

Who is Virgo most sexually compatible with?

While it may seem like Virgos wouldn't necessarily jive with the more easy-going Pisces, their zodiac sexual compatibility is off the charts. A Pisces can help put a Virgo at ease in the bedroom. And once their walls are lowered and inhibitions shed, sparks are sure to follow.

Libra Sexual Compatibility

A Libra's turn-ons are often ceberal-based. Think: erotica, smut and intellectual stimulation. Their giving energy also means they're hyper-focused on their partner's sexual satisfaction. Turning you on will turn them on! That being said, make sure they aren't neglecting themselves in their effort to please others. Remind them that their satisfaction and orgasms are just as important!

Who is Libra most sexually compatible with?

Libras and Leos are nearly sure to have a passionate give-and-take situation in the bedroom. A Libra's desire to please their partner matches Leo's star-of-the-show tendencies. Meanwhile, Leos love to reciprocate the attention. A healthy sexual dialogue and communication will only fan those flames.

Scorpio Sexual Compatibility

According to Letzelter, Scorpios have one of the highest sex drives in the zodiac. Their sexual experiences are often intense and passionate, both spurred on and bettered by deep emotional and spiritual connection. They also love to spice things up with fresh methods of foreplay and intimate positions that put them in control. (Think the face-to-face, ultra-sensual lotus position.)

Who is Scorpio most sexually compatible with?

Besides the similarly sensual Aries, Scorpios are also ideally matched with Aquarius. Both signs aren't shy when it comes to getting raunchy. Just give 'em a safe word and establish consent and then whether it's a new, exciting fetish to explore or sizzling experimentation, they're often down to try anything. A long-term, healthy sex life are written in the stars for this pairing—both will work to keep things from getting stale.

Sagittarius Sexual Compatibility

One of the most adventurous signs of the zodiac, a Sagittarius doesn't shy away from experimentation: Whether it's an ever-so-slightly-risky semi-public romp or new and trendy techniques, they are just as committed to adventure in the bedroom as they are in the world at large. But while monogamy is definitely on the table for a Sag, they don't love feeling tied down. Healthy boundaries and communication are key.

Who is Sagittarius most sexually compatible with?

A Sag's openness when it comes to sex vibes well with both Leos and Scorpios. With the latter, their higher-than-most sex drives are particularly well-matched. Moreover, they also thrive on fantasy. Whether they opt to read some spicy erotica together or try dressing up, their romps will be electric.

Capricorn Sexual Compatibility

Above all else, Capricorns are reliable and responsible. They tend to take life a little more seriously than others, and this translates to a proclivity towards committed relationships. A Capricorn isn't one for casual sexual encounters. But once trust and commitment is established, an exciting sex life is sure to follow. Their internal perfectionism will have them ensuring that things never get boring and all parties are satisfied. That being said, a Capricorn may need help getting out of their own head in their bedroom. (Their to-do list is never done, after all.)

Who is Capricorn most sexually compatible with?

Since both Cancers and Capricorns are turned on by authentic and long-term connections, Letzelter says that they're an ideal bedroom match. They both understand each other's need to take the time to establish an emotional connection, after which their inhibitions will lower and passion will come naturally.

Aquarius Sexual Compatibility

An Aquarius is always curious and loves to learn—both out of the bedroom and beneath the sheets. New ways to connect? Yes, please. A spicy TikTok trend? Sign them up. Keep things interesting with sex games that add to the anticipation.

Who is Aquarius most sexually compatible with?

An Aquarius plus a Gemini equals fun and novel bedroom romps. Both possess active imaginations, so they'll always find new ways to spice things up and keep their sex life interesting. Similarly, a Scoripo's lack of inhibitions will match the curious nature of the Aquarius. Happy exploring!

Pisces Sexual Compatibility

Another imaginative sign, Pisces are often turned on by things like role play and erotica that trigger their creative side. That being said, as a water sign, emotional intimacy is important to them—so be sure that they feel emotionally in sync with you before getting down and dirty.

Who is Pisces most sexually compatible with?

Pisces value escapism and are often fans of fantasy and fairytales. This aligns with a Libra's fondness for cerebral-based turn-ons. Together, they can explore things like sexy role-play, sexting and more. Plus, a Libra's attention to detail will keep their encounters fully immersive!
