Andromeda DavisIs your idea of the perfect kiss slow and gentle or intense and passionate?
Astrology can help you understand how each sign of the Zodiac kisses–and how they like to be kissed, too.
Time to pucker up!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
It should come as no surprise that Aries is a passionate kisser. Their fiery personality and competitive spirit means that kissing an Aries can be an intense experience.
Try slowing down and enjoying the experience–and don’t forget to check in with your partner’s needs and desires instead of simply chasing your own pleasure.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is a patient kisser, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t also passionate. You like to take your time and enjoy a kiss using all your senses.
However, you can get a little carried away, so remember to come up for air every now and then.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Kissing a Gemini is a unique experience every time. Maybe you want to try that upside-down kiss from Spider-Man or test some new techniques you read about online.
That unpredictability can be a good thing when it comes to keeping a relationship feeling fresh. Just don’t get too wrapped up in novelty and forget about making that human connection.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancer is all about intimacy. For you, kissing is another way of saying “I love you.” You like to be completely wrapped up in each other, touching as much as possible. And yes, there will be cuddling.
Your kisses tend to be gentle and warm, without a strong sense of urgency. Just close your eyes and enjoy the moment.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
If you don’t like public displays of affection, then don’t kiss a Leo. You like to make sure everybody knows who your bae is–in part because you’re proud, and in part because you want to stake a claim.
Kissing in public isn’t everyone’s style, but for you, it feels fun and totally natural. If other people don’t like it, that’s their problem.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Virgo, you approach kissing the way you do every other activity in your life. If it’s not perfect, then why bother? Unfortunately for you, there’s no such thing as a perfect kiss.
If you don’t leave room in your love life for spontaneous affection, then you’re going to miss out countless kisses.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libras tend to focus more on other people’s pleasure instead of their own. While it’s great to think about what your partner wants, don’t neglect yourself.
The key to romantic fulfillment isn’t molding yourself into the perfect partner, but in finding someone who already fits with you.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio would rather sing karaoke than kiss in public–and you hate karaoke. You believe that private time should happen behind closed doors.
However, when you’re alone with someone you want to kiss, you show surprising tenderness and vulnerability.
You’re also very touchy-feely, so make sure you keep those communication lines open with your partner and understand their boundaries.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
For Sagittarius, kissing is just a little harmless fun. You’ve made out with strangers in bars and clubs, kissed friends on the lips just to see what happens, and would probably kiss just about anyone if they asked nicely.
You’re open, generous, and playful–and as long as no one takes your kisses too seriously, you can keep enjoying intimacy without all those pesky strings attached.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Capricorn, life is not a series of checklists. Sorry to break it to you, but when you approach kissing as just another item on your list, your partner can tell.
Although you try very hard to make every kiss perfect, no makeout session with a Capricorn will be truly great until you let go and fully experience the moment.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Of all the signs of the Zodiac, Aquarius is the hardest to pin down. Maybe like kissing more than one person at a time; alternately, you might despise kissing and prefer not to lock lips at all.
No matter where you fall on the romantic spectrum, it’s probably a little different from the norm. That’s okay–but remember that not everyone is as flexible as you are.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
For Pisces, there’s no such thing as “just a kiss.” You grew up on romantic comedies and fairy tales, and you believe in the power of true love’s kiss.
Although you desperately want to be swept off your feet, more often than not you end up feeling frustrated and disappointed. Enjoy the moment for what it is.
