Our hookup language is complicated. We all have different fantasies, desires, and turn-ons, and due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, navigating relationships is more complex than ever. Instead of making out between classes or in the bar whenever and with whomever we want, many of us have had to stave off the random hookups for safer, one-on-one quarantine loving. But even then, the extreme of the situation has left the strongest of partnerships shaken, as breakup and divorce rates increase around the world, with many in need of adding a little extra spice to the mix — especially with Valentine’s Day here again.
Luckily, the stars are here to help us understand our innermost passions and sexual desires. Every birth chart dictates unique carnal impulses that must be met in order to feel satisfied, and that extends to the music that gets you in the mood for locking lips. Whether you’re a devilishly decadent Scorpio who luxuriates in deep kisses or a tender Cancer craving softer smooches, there’s a song for you. And as long as those urges are met in a consensual and safe way, they can bring you closer with their boo. So prepare to get freaky, sign by sign.

GEMINI
Harry Styles: “Watermelon Sugar”
Geminis are smooth talkers, which means they know how to put their lips to use — but chatting their way to success isn’t the only good their mouths are capable of.

LEO
Kacey Musgraves: “Golden Hour”

VIRGO
Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello: “Señorita”
Virgos are quite generous with their attention when in a relationship, or even just for a one-night fling, and it feels great to be the object of that affection.

The addictive “Señorita” by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes brings the earthy energy of a Virgo into overdrive for some bumping and grinding.

Known to love the good life, Libras long to hold their boo whenever they’re not around. To be honest, they’ll savor every moment during, after, and in between a make-out sesh.

SCORPIO
The Weeknd: “Blinding Lights”
Real talk: When a Scorpio is in love (or lust), it’s hard to tell where they end and their partner begins, if you catch my drift. While making out, they morph into one being wrapped up in the passionate rapture. Yes, it’s that steamy! That’s why they require a seductive and intoxicating soundtrack for their profound kisses — The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” will definitely do the trick.
-
SAGITTARIUS
Taylor Swift: “Lover”
Independent Sagittarians like to live in the moment. Contrary to the popular belief that the archer is unromantic, Sag’s can be extra when it comes to showing their physical affections if given the chance. “Lover” will inspire Sagittarius to remain focused on their one and only when puckering up. Taylor Swift was born under the centaur’s sign herself, and any Sagittarius will relate to its desirous vibe.

CAPRICORN
Vera Blue: “Hold”
Capricorns are known to be tough and sometimes even cold toward the outside world, but their romantic side is quite the opposite. Although they are hesitant to give their hearts away without proper reflection, time, and care, they are sensitive lovers and gentle kissers. Vera Blue’s “Hold” will ignite Capricorn’s lesser-seen, hedonistic earthy side, as well as their emotional nature, when their lips touch another’s.

AQUARIUS
Sam Smith, Normani: “Dancing With a Stranger”
Aquarians aren’t typically very emotionally expressive, but the one thing that really gets these voyeurs going is jealousy (you know, seeing their partner with someone else). Although they rarely show their rapturous nature, they can get wrapped up in the throes of passion, especially when role-playing. All the more reason why the fantasy conjured in Normani and Sam Smith’s scorching “Dancing With a Stranger” will turn them the eff on.

PISCES
Ariana Grande: “Positions”
These fishies are known to embrace their experimental side and pull stunts in the bedroom. Although this water sign is notably instinctive, they respond well to literal and direct communication — it’s the key to any relationship, after all. They’ll need to play a song like Ari’s bangin’ “Positions” that encourages them to freestyle and take bold leaps when it comes to going after what their heart wants.
