Sexy Lingerie and Astrology

Astrology can help us to best reveal our true natures and secrets, including our choice in slinky lingerie. This guide will help you accentuate those curves and contours of character as reflected in the magical and powerful constellations of the heavens. Of course, as a soul of free will, you’re not just bound to wear what’s recommended; but take a peep at the attire for your sign. You might be surprised by how closely it pins you down.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries wants to keep the game of seduction relatively direct and simple. As she has little patience, she needs something that she can slip off easily, if things get too hot. So, of course, her best course of lingerie action is the perennial slip. It also helps to wear something red, like her planet, Mars.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The Bull gal would most like to highlight the beautiful curves and shape of her body. She also wants to be revealing, without revealing too much, stimulating her lover toward using imagination and touch to explore and delight. Naturally, she’ll be drawn to babydoll nighties.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The Twins lady taps right into the game and play of seduction. She likes to keep it light, but hot at the same time. Her linen “body armor” should play up both her cute and sexy sides at the same time. A babydoll and revealing panties set would match her perfectly.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The Crab might not want to wear Mom’s nightgown to bed, but her idea of seduction should be highly feminine, somewhat traditional and totally hot. That’s a tall order, so we should look for a revamped version of an established standard.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
As fire signs, Leos always want to make dramatic statements. However, it’s not all pretense for Leo ladies. Leos also wants to get into the Lion’s den as quickly as possible, so something with too many bells and whistles won’t work. For something that’s sure to get the show on the road, get a smoking hot chemise.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
The Virgin loves the appearance of feminine modesty; but in closer and closer quarters, one learns that she is full of many virtues (many of which cannot be discussed here). For this, she should try a floral babydoll that’s demure, traditional and enticing.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
As daughters of Venus, Libras are well supported in the arts of seduction. Libras like to keep things classy and haute couture, but reveal a racier side as well. In other words, they like to balance themselves out. Choose a set that’s sure to keep both sides of the scale engaged.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
These women of mystery want to maintain their secrets for as long as possible. It helps maintain interest, and Scorpios tend to enjoy the sweet ecstasy of their lovers as they experience her full allure and power. A garter belt is sure to delight and deliver a thrill.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
As a sign that likes to be on-the-go, a Sagittarius may not be as excited to use traditional lingerie to work out with her partner as much as something she could sport in both the bedroom and the gym. For her, sportiness is sexiness, so a sports bra and yoga pants will fit her fitness.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
In her heart of hearts, Capricorn believes that the best things in life are worth waiting for, and her evening apparel reflects this belief. As somewhat of a traditionalist, she may gravitate toward lingerie with laces and hooks that require an attentive and patient lover. She also likes things that are tried and true, like corsets and bustiers.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
The always original Aquarius likes to shock and excite people. If everyone’s doing it, then she’ll find something different to do. So a lot of the traditional lingerie pieces will make her yawn before she even gets to the bedroom. She’d love avant-garde pieces that are certain to perk up everyone’s attention.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
As a child of the spirit of imagination, Pisces likes to set up an almost cinematic scene and let her lover bask in an illusion until they both get hot enough to burn right through it. Anything with red lace is bound to ignite the fires of desire.


Quick Ideas to Reconnect

Take a Class
How about signing up for a class together? One weekend a month, you pick the other’s interest and spend that time reconnecting while also learning something new about your partner. You can do anything from taking a dancing, pottery, cooking or a home improvement class. You’ll go home happy while gaining a skill to boot.

Get Natural
The weather is cool, so hiking may be out of the question, but you can always rent a cabin in the woods. There’s something about being outdoors, in fresh air, that can never be wrong. You just can’t get more romantic than being in natural beauty, watching the starts in a clear night sky or lolling around a crackling fire.

There’s No Place Like Home
The possibilities are endless on what you, your partner and an empty house can accomplish. First thing first, unhook the phone, shut down the computer and turn off the cell phones. Then use that time to focus on each other. You can have a DVD marathon of your favorite shows. Get in the kitchen and share a glass of wine as you try to make the perfect pot roast. Or head to the shower and recreate your version of a spa. Candles and body scrubs are a must.

Bed and Breakfast
The next best thing to home. They are cozy, and with the personal touch, it’s almost like staying at a good friends house. Actually best friends, since you get pampered while you are there. Most B&B’s are located near recreational facilities or local attractions so you can treat it like a mini vacation. Or just stay indoors and enjoy the rest and solitude.
