How the universe wants

you to cope with stress

ARIES

Take it out in a

sweaty kickbox-

ing class. Or on

an angry jog.

TAURUS

Invest in five

bath bombs

and call dibs on

the bathroom.

GEMINI

FaceTime your

BFF ASAP and

tell them what

happened.

CANCER

Hide your phone

so you don’t

send a text you’ll

regret.

LEO

Get a blowout

and snap some

feelin’-yourself

By ALIZA KELLY selfies.

Their short attention span = no

time for excessive foreplay or any-

thing slow ’n’ steady.

Tauruses despise sloppiness.

Ke e p t h a t b e d ro o m t i d y o r b o o k a

hotel room—you’re welcome.

The only thing Geminis can’t

stand is monotony. Don’t be afraid

to get a little freaky.

Stuff that’s *not* mutually

satisfying is a no-no. Unreciprocated

oral? Just don’t.

Leos need to feel wanted.

Underappreciate one, and kiss

this hookup good-bye.

They’re grossed out by

anything unsanitary. Keep those

sex toys ~extra~ clean.

Ignorance. Didn’t bring your

(sexy) intellectual A game? Don’t

expect many fireworks.

Any type of “faking it.” They

thrive on real, intense chemistry

and sexual tension.

They get annoyed by overly

sentimental moves. Best press pause

o n t h a t “G e t t i n g I t O n” p l a y l is t.

C a p s c a n’t d e a l w i t h s o m e o n e w h o’s

all talk but no delivery in bed.

Vanilla sex.

Pis c e s w i l l r u n f a s t f ro m

rigid vibes and partners who

aren’t open-minded.

Notoriously impulsive, they get extra

e x c i t e d b y n e e d - y o u - n o w b u r s t s o f

desire (hi, bathroom-stall hookups).

They’re alllll about exploring

their senses, so get one going with

chocolate, wine, and candles.

This air sign is governed by

M e rc u r y, t h e p l a n e t o f c o m m u ni c a -

tion. So: sexting. A lot of it.

Cancers need to feel safe before

emerging from their shells, so kick

things off with a cuddle sesh.

W h e n i t c o m e s t o s e x , a l l t h e

bedroom’s a stage. (We’re talking

about role-playing, BTW.)

Virgos are obsessed with sex and

need to savor every moment. Make it

laaast with lots of foreplay.

Libras love sophistication, i.e.,

they fancy. Cocktails and some Frank

Ocean go a long way.

If it’s taboo, it’s a turn-on.

Scorpios love getting extra kinky.

Sex that carries a hint of danger.

Don’t be surprised if your Sag date

is into public boning.

New things. And more new things.

They’re as ambitious about sex as

they are with other pursuits.

Um...everything? As long as it’s

not conventional. Also, tech.

Aquarians love a good vibrator.

They’re highly empathic, so it’s

no surprise that deeply spiritual

PISCES connections get them going.
