I am so happy for you Taureans: this month you get to shine! You’ve worked very hard to get this far. You feel secure in your sexuality: you know what you like, and you are not afraid to get it. Express your passions creatively. Make an aphrodisiac-infused dinner, and invite a special someone (or two) to share it. Fill a tub with rose petals and honey. Blindfold your partner and feed them different types of chocolate. You feel alive for the first time in a long time, so live it up and don’t feel guilty. Your challenge is to let go of the old. The relationship that ended recently was not meant to be, and you should give yourself permission to live a little again. If the thought of making the same mistakes scares you, just remember that the person you are with right now wants to be with you. Even though it may be awkward, you can always call the shots.

You are such a hopeless romantic sometimes. This month emphasizes that side of you. You love sharing your fantasies with your partners, and you are craving a little role-playing this month. The problem is that your partner(s) (what partner, you ask?) are not as interested in being romanced. Instead of sulking about no one understanding your needs, convert those romantic fantasies into meditation tools. If the thought of meditation sends new age shivers down your spine, then use those romantic impulses as masturbation tools. Spend this month looking inside for what you really want and desire. Next month someone will listen to you.

Man, oh man, this is your month!  This isn’t a combo of cards that comes up too often.  Pretty much the odds of getting this fabulous of a combination is as likely as winning the Lotto or having Bella Donna show up at your door as your personal sex slave. Now that I have you on the edge of your seat, let me tell you what is in store for you. First of all, everyone notices you. You are the shining star who is everyone’s light this month. Work it, kids.  Rock that hot outfit, or maybe go skinny-dipping in a hot spring. Your challenge is to remember that you are only as hot as you make others feel. Remember to include you partner(s). Everything is better when you share it with someone you want to be with. For you single Virgos out there, this is your chance to really find someone you click with. Share what you desire, and open your heart. The more you open yourself to new experiences, the finer life will be. Don’t forget that what you work on this month will blossom throughout the year, so don’t sit at home alone and watch porn, dammit!

Sometimes it’s vital to step back and actually take a look at the fruits of our labor instead of being knee-deep in the dirt.  How will you know how far you have come if you don't ever stop?  Take this month off, dear Scorpio.  Once in a while, it’s OK to take a back seat and wait for others to come to you. Trust your intuition about your partners; learn to sense what they want and when they want it. Since your brain and naughty bits seem to function as one unit all too often, it’s good for you to really see what they are aiming at instead of just going for it all the time. Your homework is to find your personal power.  But don't give it away just to anyone: make your partners work for it. The more you set your boundaries, the hotter you become to whichever sex you want to attract.  ‘No’ is a very sexy word.

The sun has finally come out long enough for you to feel like you can shed some clothes and go for a naked romp through the woods. OK, so maybe you are not the sky-clad type, but, my dear Capricorn brothers and sisters, this month is about dreaming big. For a change, you break from your fairly stable and consistent nature and find yourself obsessed with obsession. One week, it can be hot new lingerie everyday, the following, your new hemp rope and how to tie your partner up. Whatever the temptations of the month are, find the one thing that you’re really drawn to and learn the art of it to perfection. No one will ever know that you had no clue a month ago on how to shimmy out of that tight-laced corset while singing along to Lily Allen.

How do you train a fish to stay still? Ask a piranha. Piranhas are amazing to watch.  In their aquarium tanks, they barely move; they just seem to hover around, observing what is in the tank with them. When the time is right, they strike their prey in the flash of a second. What the hell does this have to do with sex magic, you ask?  It’s important in this day and age to learn to hover and observe. You don’t necessarily need to react to every impulse. For example, we sometimes find ourselves being victims of the conservative right.  We feel guilty for enjoying kinky sex because someone out there thinks it’s vile and sinful.  My solution to feeling guilty is to allow yourself to sit down with both sides and then decide for yourself what you need from each. There is nothing wrong with being monogamous and married, but that doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself to sex on Sundays missionary style.  The more you sit still and observe, the more tools you will have when you are ready to strike.
