Ready for a hot summer hookup? Whether you’re currently playing the field or looking for a way to spice up your LTR, there’s a sex position that’s speaking to your zodiac sign this month. Should you try cowgirl, doggy style, or a speed bump? To find out, simply look to the stars.

According to Lisa Stardust, a professional astrologer with the dating app Hily, there are quite a few planetary changes and retrogrades occurring through July. These movements will not only impact how you feel when it comes to love and romance, but also help inspire what to do between the sheets.

For starters, on July 4th, Stardust says the romantic planet Venus will enter Gemini, which should make it easier for anyone with this star sign to express their innermost desires — read: fantasies — with a lot more openness and honesty. Geminis are already great communicators, but add in the influence of saucy Venus, and suddenly those chats will be extra lusty.

That same day, the elusive planet Neptune will go retrograde in fearless Aries, which could urge anyone with this star sign to redefine their dreams. If you’re an Aries, take that as your cue to switch up the status quo and try something new in bed.

Of course, July ends with the sun transitioning into the fiery sign of Leo, which is all about confidence and feeling yourself. Could that be the best time to try an X-rated pose? It could be the perfect way to kick off your birthday. Keep reading to find out the best sex position to try in July, according to your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 20 - April 18)

With Neptune slipping into Aries on July 4, and authoritative Saturn starting its planetary moonwalk on July 13, Stardust believes the Aries of the world will appreciate a pose that lets them get a bit bossy this month.

To take full control during your next hookup, why not hop on top for cowgirl? This confident position allows you to decide the pace — something that’ll feel right with Saturn in your chart — and it’ll also let you be the star of the show.

Taurus (April 19 - May 19)

According to Stardust, the month of July is prime time for earthy Tauruses to get even more romantic than usual. When it comes to sex positions, nothing lets you get closer than this spooning position.

It feels so right when you’re lying in bed next to your love, and even better on a lazy Sunday when you want to hook up in a slow, sensual way. All you have to do is cuddle up behind them — or pull them closer to you — and get busy.

Gemini (May 20 - June 19)

With rebellious Uranus entering Gemini on July 7, you should feel inspired to try something risqué, not only that day but in the weeks following. Think positions that are difficult to get into but fully worth the pay-off, like advanced crab.

This tangly move involves sitting down and facing each other, then lifting a leg (or two) onto your partner’s shoulders, and doing your thing. It takes some extra effort, but that’s what makes it so fun.

Cancer (June 20 - July 21)

Venus swims into Cancer on July 30, says Stardust, meaning you could feel laden with love around that time. Add in the fact that it’s your birth month, Cancer, and it makes sense to choose a position that’s all about you.

To match that vibe, classic missionary is always a good go-to. You don’t have to twist yourself into knots or show off your flexibility, ballerina-style. Instead, it’s all about lying back and letting go while your partner does all the work.

Leo (July 22 - Aug. 21)

On July 18, Mercury will begin its backward spin in Leo, and it will truly stir up the drama in your love life. If you find yourself in the middle of a little tiff with your partner, lean into the makeup-sex vibes with a passionate romp on the couch.

Don’t even bother getting fully undressed — it’ll add to the “I need you now” energy if you still have your shirt on — and just let the moment sweep you away. This couch pose will also be a sexy way to ring in your birthday, especially if it follows a romantic evening of cuddling and kissing.

Virgo (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21)

According to Stardust, Virgos should spend July practicing the art of saying what they want in bed. To make it easier, choose a face-to-face pose like the plow, which is essentially missionary but taken up a notch.

As you give it a try, look into your partner's eyes and tell them exactly what to do: grab this leg, go faster, go slower. To up the ante, whisper something spicy in their ear and see how they react.

Libra (Sept. 22 - Oct. 21)

For Libras, July is all about paying it forward, Stardust says. That means choosing sex positions that highlight your partner, while also making sure you get in on the action.

For that, 69 is always the best place to start. It’s an ideal way to work your magic on a long-term partner, and also a great move to try when you want to wow someone new. As a bonus, it feels extra intimate, which is something Libras love.

Scorpio (Oct. 22 - Nov. 20)

This month, Stardust reminds Scorpios to speak up about what they want instead of just focusing on their partner. That might mean starting with foreplay outside the bedroom — send a sexy text or drop hints about being in the mood — and then calling the shots once you’re finally together.

While any position will be fun for this sensual water sign, warming up with oral from different angles is super hot. Try starting on all fours as you face your partner. It’ll feel new in all the right ways.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21 - Dec. 20)

Fiery Sagittarians are always down for an exciting experience, and this July is no different. To spice things up, tell your partner to sit in a chair and then surprise them with a saucy strip-tease-style dance.

As you slip out of your clothes, find your way into their lap — or vice versa — get in position, and go to town. Bonus points if you turn on a sultry playlist.

Capricorn (Dec. 31 - Jan. 18)

Capricorn should try the lotus.

Thanks to the full moon in Capricorn that’s set to light up the sky on July 10, Stardust says this month will be the perfect time to manifest your dreams — and that includes getting what you want in bed.

With your earth sign energy in the air, you might be in the mood for a powerful pose, like the seated lotus. It allows you to get extra close to your partner so you can feel connected and let communication flow.

Aquarius (Jan. 19 - Feb. 17)

Aquarius will be into advanced missionary.

While airy Aquarians are known for being off in their own little world, Stardust says you’ll feel more tuned into your partner this month than ever before. And the same is true if you’re single but find yourself hooking up with someone new for the first time.

If you typically opt for positions that feel detached, like reverse cowgirl or doggy style, July’s astrological energy means you could be in the mood for one with a little more eye contact, like advanced missionary. This one gets you very up close and personal.

Pisces (Feb. 18 - March 19)

According to Stardust, the Pisces of the world will take a break from decision-making this month, and that’s true in the bedroom, too. It’s why you should pick a pose that allows you to relax, like the cross.

Your partner can get into position and do the heavy lifting while you relax. As a Neptune-ruled water sign, it’ll feel like a dream come true.
