Back when my life revolved around jelly sandals, gel roller pens, and my collection of jumbo-sized Beanie Babies, no serious decision was ever made without first checking my horoscope. Granted, I obviously didn’t need to consult the stars about my sex life back then, for it was non-existent, but I did need to make darn well sure that Saturn was in the optimal position for utmost success before I passed Jimmy a Post-It that said, “Wanna go see Pirates of the Caribbean with me? Check one: Yes [ ], No [ ].”
Now that I’m significantly older (and all of my gel pens have dried out; heartbreaking, I know) I don’t really check my horoscope much anymore. That being said, part of me still clings to the concept that our futures and personalities are just tad bit out of our hands. In a time that’s all about cold hard facts, it’s fun to think that your astrological sign can tell you which book you’ll really enjoy reading, or whether or not you’ll end up falling in love this year.
So, in the name of both adulthood and horoscopes, find your birthday and grab a partner (or, you know, not), because here’s a list of the best sex tips depending on your astrological sign.

That’s why this fun and whimsical Kama Sutra Honeysuckle Body Dust is a wonderful way to spread a little bit of that Aquarius mystique. It leaves skin feeling smooth, light, and airy, and tastes and smells wonderfully sweet. It also comes with a soft feather brush — to tease a little bit while you apply — and it’s an intriguing way to prompt kisses anywhere on the body.
