Knowing the zodiac sign location of Venus and Mars in your partner or potential lover's birth chart is valuable to understanding how he or she operates in the important arena of sexuality. Tuning in to where these personal love planets fall in a lover's zodiac chart will help you anticipate their needs, and even better, understand your own!

Venus or Mars in Aries
Sometimes aggressive and generally fast, these lovers are sincere and enthusiastic in their sexual expression, but not always constant. They can be rather selfish in bed. Too much foreplay makes them impatient … they prefer to get right to the point. They melt when their partner innocently and purely yields to them. Their partner's sexual organs arouse them. Their heads are erogenous zones; they love it when you mess up their hair and grab their face when making love. Some are addicted to the conquest, and fall in and out of lust easily, only feeling alive when they have someone to desire.

Venus or Mars in Taurus
Touch and smell are supremely important to these lovers. These are the most physical of sexual partners. No frills sex is fine, as long as the mood is right and there is plenty of physical contact. These lovers don't have a reputation for spontaneity or variety, but they are good at what they do. They are truly right there with you. Abstaining from sex is especially difficult for those with this Taurus position, so finding a regular sex partner is particularly important. Their sexual stamina during love-making is long-lasting and steady. Although generally patient, their style is natural and physical, so intellectualizing the sex act would only serve to baffle these partners.

Venus or Mars in Gemini
Talk turns them on, and they love to kiss! Oral pleasures are extra special for these lovers. They love role-playing, as long as it is varied. They are generally fun in bed, if you can forgive their sudden bursts of speech during the act. To you, an intellectual conversation may interrupt lovemaking, but to them, it's just extended foreplay. Sometimes given to trying too much in one session, these lovers are enthusiastic and curious about all kinds of sexual expression. Still, many people with this position are not wanton lovers. The Gemini tendency to over-think brings up all of the "buts" and "what ifs" surrounding sex. They are less driven by their desires than they are by their intellect.

Venus or Mars in Cancer
When they're not pouting, they are romantic and gooey. Aroused by slave scenarios, they may like it when you're a little mean and aggressive in bed, as long as they know you love them. Some of them are turned on by the idea of making a baby, and others just love the idea of being all yours. Partners with this planetary position are known to be the most attracted to breasts. They generally like, at least in fantasy, their men rather masculine and their women quite feminine. They don't always let you know what turns them on, and instead expect you to intuit their sexual needs. In bed, the style of these lovers is protective and soothing.
