Mars and sexual energy in each zodiac sign

In Astrology, Mars is known as the planet of desire and sex. Depending on its position in a Birth Chart, it can indicate how a person tends to behave in relationships and bed, representing desire, drive, and the force of passion.

In this sense, it acts differently from Venus, which is about reception, affective capacity, and attraction. However, they are complementary energies: Yang ~ Yin, Masculine ~ Feminine, Active ~ Reactive.

Mars, in sex, thrives on action, movement, and attitude, delighting in the intensity of intimacy and desire.

♂ Mars in Taurus ♉: always connected to the Earth and the senses, and with a more direct and tactile approach, Mars in Taurus tends to appreciate a certain predictability in their life between the sheets. Music, massage oils, and flavors can help provide familiar security without falling into a routine.

♂ Mars in Capricorn ♑: Mars in Capricorn tends to be patient and persistent, able to perform for long periods without needing a break. Like the other Earth signs, providing a natural setting for passionate interludes is a welcome gesture.

Dominance and submission play can also be welcome.
