Even if you don't quite believe in it very few of us can resist checking our horoscopes once in a whileand, to be fair, often they can seem rather accurate, especially when it comes to predicting personality traits.

But can 'the stars' really reveal what kind of lover you - or your partner - are?Can astrology help you find the perfect partner?Check out our (slightly tongue-in-cheek) 'Sextrology' guide below and see what you think!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Traditionally Aries is considered to be the first sign of the zodiac and as such are considered natural born leaders, and this tendency extends to their sex lives.

Aries people usually prefer to be the ones doing the pursuing rather than being pursued by a potential love interest and they do so confidently and sometimes even aggressively.

These tendencies also often extend to the bedroom, where, once again, an Aries prefers to be in control. Should they ever decide to give a little BDSM a go they make great Doms/Dommes. However, for most Aries, their brain is actually their biggest erogenous zone so fantasy play is likely to be something they are interested in.

Best sexual matches: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taureans are famed for their sensual natures,  and according to astrology that has a great deal to do with the fact that their star sign is ruled by the planet Venus. They usually prefer that sex be a totally immersive experience. As in ambient music, massages, scented candles, the works.

They are also usually fans of longer lovemaking sessions and as such enjoy exploring and experimenting withsex toys to see just what they can do to help extend and enhance the pleasure of both parties.

Best sexual matches: Best sexual partners: Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Geminis are known for being daring flirts and people who are not at all shy when it comes to their sexuality.

These personality traits offer all kinds of sexy benefits for those who take a Gemini as a lover. It means they'll never be shy in bed, they'll always be up for a little sex toy play and because they are great communicators the dirty talk should be very steamy indeed.

Best sexual matches: Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Moon-based Cancers are generally acknowledged to be the most romantic and nurturing of the star signs but don't think for a second that means boring in bed.

Cancers do prefer their sex to come along with a large dollop of emotion, but when it does they are passionate intense lovers who can often make some surprising - and very exciting - suggestions when it comes tospicing things up the bedroom.

Best sexual matches: Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Dramatic Leos love to be the centre of attention, and that includes between the sheets. They prefer to be seduced but are no slackers when it comes to pleasing their partner once they are. They also have a great love of sizzling foreplay, so will love making use oflubes and oils to add an extra element to the fun.

Best sexual matches: Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgos are not quite the chaste, quiet virgins that people often assume them to be once they hear what their sign is.

They are, however, thanks to their inborn love of the pursuit of perfection, all about ensuring that not only that they get all they want in bed but that their partner does too. This means that they are likely to be willing to try all sorts of things to help ensure that.

Best sexual matches: Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Libras, like Taurus, are also ruled by Venus. This often leads to rather refined tastes and a love of sophistication.

Libras love to be mentally and verbally stimulated, so flirty chat and steamy text sent at intervals throughout the day will get you in a Libra's good books. They are also very likely to appreciate things like sensual scented candles, luxurious massage oils and certainly have an eye for a nice bit of naughty lingerie.

If you're a Libra, anything beautiful or cultured is automatically appealing to you. If sex is on the cards, you love to set the scene by slipping into your most devilish lingerie and lighting loads of candles.

Best sexual matches: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Scorpios are often referred to as the sexiest of all the signs of the zodiac. That may not always be true, but since most are extremely passionate about almost everything, it is often the case.

Scorpios also like to be in control of as much of their destiny as possible, and that often holds true when it comes to sex. They are naturally rather powerful people and this will often lead them to seek out sex scenarios that allow them to be in control. Therefore, it's far from unusual to find that some of the keenest Doms/Dommes are fiery Scorpios.

Best sexual matches: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

A Sagittarius' sense of humour means there is never an awkward sexual moment with these free-spirited souls. An untimely leg cramp won't phase them, they'll just laugh it off and keep right on going.

Known as wanderers and seekers, a Sagittarius is sexually liberated and is always up for trying different things.

Best sexual matches: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Like Taurus and Virgo, Capricorns are an earth sign. This makes them very lusty indeed, and their goal-oriented mindsets mean that you should expect orgasms aplenty!

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of restriction and repression, so sexual play that involves orgasm denial or boundaries is right up a Capricorn's street.

Capricorns love to treat themselves, so expect them to own the latest sex toys, the highest quality lube and the fanciest lingerie on the market.

Best sexual matches: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

Aquarians are famous for their active imaginations, and their love of fantasy. They are also fiercely independent, so often take on a leadership role in the bedroom..

Those born under this sign are likely to incorporate role play into their romps, and will have no problem articulating their wildest fantasy scenarios.

Best sexual matches: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Pisces are extremely intuitive and compassionate souls, making them fantastic to jump into bed with.

They are great at deciphering what their partner craves, and then doing exactly that all night long!

Best sexual matches: Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
