Aries: Typically this sign is considered the infants of the zodiac because of their placement at the start of the line, which imparts their “me first” temperament. Like the child who wakes hungry in the middle of the night, screaming for her sleeping parents; Aries want what they want when they want it. This impatience means they typically do not waste time waiting for sex or love to come to them; they go out and get it. They fall hard but also fall out of interest VERY fast. They need to have their needs met immediately and ample passion is a must. They enjoy very physical sexual intimacy, so staying in shape and taking things outside the box is a necessity. Aries are turned off by those who only offer up generic or vanilla sex. Stimulation on all levels is required for this sign, so be sure to brush up intellectually as well. Understand that Aries are likely to begin a connection in the physical realm and then potentially evolve it to the emotional. Very few of their connections actually make it to the emotional, but once it goes there, an Aries is fiercely protective of their relationship. In love, they can be very loyal at loving but may need some gentle reminding that YOU have needs too. To keep things spicy, as the relationship evolves, try out a little role-playing which will definitely spark an Aries interest. Just be careful to treat others with respect. Those who are sexy and a turn on initially, but are snobby or nasty to people around them, especially those they do not ‘have’ to be nice to, will be an instant turn off and you will not work your way into their bed or heart. So, be sure to speak to the waitress or clerk at the grocery store kindly and refer to them by their names whenever possible. Great matches for an Aries: Gemini and Aquarius Taurus: Known for their love of the finer things, and all things luxurious, it’s only logical that Taurians would make an art out of love-making. Keep this in mind, however: if a Taurian thinks that you have debt or money problems, they will run away and treat you like a hotel fire they cannot get far enough away from. This doesn’t mean that you should become a miser; on the contrary, the way to their heart is by opening up your pocket book to spend on them. Just be sure that you are not doing it to the detriment of your foundation. Even if you have to take a Taurian on a more budget friendly date, they will be exceptionally pleased to see you managing your finances wisely. They are a very practical sign. They are also one of the quickest of the signs to retreat if hurt or offended. They tend to slip into depression and dwell on perceived wrongs when hurt. Be sure not to use sexual intimacy as a means of reparation: they will need to do their own thing and process it on their own time. Rather than attempt to repair it with actions, use your words. In bed, it’s time to get earthy and primal! They like a playful nibble, especially on the neck, which is a Taurian erogenous zone. Taurian men will want to take the lead, but is quite turned on when given direct orders, so knowing what you like and not being afraid to direct will serve you well. Taurian women want to feel protected and tend to shy away from those who are too lanky. They will require that you take a more active and direct role in bed, so being confident and assertive is a must. Matches for a Taurian include Scorpios, Virgo and Capricorn Gemini: This sign can be a bit difficult to navigate. They are a sign which can separate easily sex, emotions and relationships. If they have it in their head that you are merely a sexual partner there is very little that will change their minds. While very sexual, they are not very sensual, so hour-long romps in the bed are not likely on the menu. There is nothing that is considered taboo or out of the question for Gemini. Don’t be afraid to get a bit wild. Talk dirty and make lots of eye contact. The twins can be a bit selfish in bed, but with some gentle cues from you, they will quickly get the hint and be sure to tend to your needs. They like kissing so be sure that you are skilled in the art. Keep in mind that the way to seduce the twins is through their mind. They need intellectual stimulation so references to obscure movies or books will catch their interest. Take them on a tour of a local museum or a political rally. They are suckers for good conversation, so staying up to date on current events and popular culture is a must. Those who agree too often or fail to show themselves as individuals will quickly lose a Gemini’s interest. A word of caution regarding Gemini women: they are not afraid to make a scene. They have no qualms about hurdling a drink in your face or raising their voice. In fact, the more you squirm the better. They are not afraid to let a little chaos into the mix, so it’s best to not provoke them. Libra, Aquarius and Leo all make for compelling matches with a Gemini.
