Your ruling planet Mars is in perfectionist Virgo, and the combination will bring out the dominant side of you. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself incredibly focused and in the mood for discipline.

The heat is hard to beat this July, which will change your sexual habits. Luckily, the stars having you feeling extra-creative. Rather than lazy afternoons spent in bed, you and your partner will indulge in secret skinny dips in the neighbor’s pool. Too hot and sweaty for morning sex, you’ll spend hours in the showers. At times, it will even be too hot for sex in the evening, but you’ll switch it up with fun feeding sessions in front of the fridge – Kim Basinger-Micky Rourke style.
Cancer: June 22nd - July 22nd
The "Crabby Lady" is full of surprises and sexual mystery... one minute she's shy, and the next, she's dressed in her favorite black leather and carrying a whip. But whether she's assuming the missionary position or indulging in a little BDsM, the Cancer woman is always thoughtful, especially to her lovers.
Happy birthday Cancer women! July is a month of communication for the Cancer lady. Sweet pillow-talk, flirtatious IMing, and down-and-dirty, fuck-me-now demands will all be on the menu. At times, your sexual ardor and excitement will try and get the better of you, leaving you speechless, but it’s important to take a moment, hold off on that orgasm for one more beat, and express yourself as clearly as possible. Your verbal clarity will ensure some amazing oral action, followed by even more delicious feats.

Because of this, is a star in the bedroom and has a natural talent for getting things extra hot and exciting. The Lioness is never shy, and is always happy to show a little (or a lot of) skin.
Happy birthday to you July Leos! Money is going to be a stressor this month, and the best way to deal with it is to leave it at the bedroom door. As the monetary screws tighten, I recommend tightening your thigh and Kegel muscles. Want to scream about work and bite your boss? I recommend screaming into your lover’s ear and biting into your pillow. If you weather through the financial storm using the best stress-relief out there, the end of the month will have you feeling sunny and warm and back on track. And your sex-life will be all the better for it.
Virgo: August 23rd - September 22nd

Mars enters your sign on July 1st and will reside there until well into August, bringing heat and impulsiveness into your life.

Sex does not equal love, although it may seem that way this month. You’ll feel uber-passionate, and romantic opportunities will present themselves at every turn. Sex will be over-the-top for you, whether you’re taken or not. Just be sure to remember not to make promises you can’t keep while in that “yes-yes-YES!” moment.

Aquarians are incredibly inventive in the bedroom, constantly coming up with carnally creative ideas. Aquarian women are full of erotic enthusiasm, and are independent and very open minded.
Similar the Capricorn ladies, July will be a month of intimacy for you. Sex will lose its luster unless accompanied by a more emotional connection. If you don’t have the intimacy you seek, lay low sexually. If you do find the spiritual and emotional links you crave, sex will heighten what you feel.
Pisces: February 19th - March 20th
Pisces as lovers are incredibly intense. They want to merge body and soul in their sexual relationships, and are very sensual. Pisces women enjoy sexual role-playing and crave great oral affection.
