Aries, Cancers, and Scorpios: You’re About to Get a Lot Hornier

I’m an astrologer, and this fall looks horny as hell, particularly for Aries, Cancers, and Scorpios. The astrology behind this: Mars, the planet of sex, desire, and motivation, which is currently supercharged in Scorpio, one of its home signs. It will be here until November 4.

If you’re familiar with Scorpio energy — think scary, but in a sexy way — then you’ll know that we’ve got a steamy season ahead of us. This month, expect to crave more passion and depth during sex, the sort of fucking that’s so hot and connected, you fixate on it for days. You might clock a higher libido, or feel drawn toward kinkier, more intense sexual experiences. D/s (dom and sub) dynamics? Check. Erotic revenge fantasies à la “My Kink Is Karma” by Chappell Roan? Also check. 

With Scorpio’s strong intuition guiding your actions, trusting your gut on Grindr will pay off (read: getting fucked so hard that you feel it in your guts). Keep reading to learn more about what this means for your sex life. And if you’re one of those gays who loves astrology and knows your full birth chart inside and out: I see you. Read for your Rising sign as well as your Sun sign.

Aries

Go deeper, Aries — with your desires and your sexual partners. That one kink you’ve been too shy to list on your Grindr profile? Add it. The person you’ve been sleeping with regularly but haven’t opened up to yet? Have an honest-to-god conversation with them about something other than whether they want to top or bottom tonight. Mars in Scorpio is here to remind you that casual sex and emotional intimacy aren’t mutually exclusive.

Taurus

You’re feeling intensely horny too, Taurus — that is, for intimacy and connection. If you’re monogamous and romantically partnered, Mars in Scorpio will dial up the heat in your sex life. You might even catch yourself stirring the pot with your S.O. in the hopes of bringing out their inner dom. Alternatively, if you’re non-monogamous or single, this could be the push you need to be more strategic about dating or using the apps. Align your actions with your desires.

Gemini

All work and no play makes for a dull life, Gemini. Mars in Scorpio is your periodic push to be more intentional about scheduling and prioritization. By all means, tend to the everyday obligations you can’t ignore, but not at the expense of your sexual pleasure or fulfillment. Can you carve out time to scroll on the apps after work? What about sneaking out for a quickie on your lunch break?

Cancer

Play is the name of the game for you, Cancer. Your libido just got a major boost, as did your desire to get more creative in the bedroom. Whether you’re curious about refreshing your sex playlist, curating your first Private Album on Grindr, or exploring different kinks, now is the time. Have fun! Hopefully, you’ll get some good orgasms out of it.

Leo

Mars in Scorpio is hitting close to home for you, Leo. You’re probably in the mood to host right now versus venturing out for hookups (and if you do, they’ll be <.1 miles away). Regardless, you’ll get the most out of this horny season if you treat your home like your private sex dungeon erotic sanctuary. Break out the massage oils, butt plugs, restraints — anything that will make for a heightened sensory experience during sex, even if you’re fucking in a familiar way.

Virgo

I’ve got two words for you, Virgo: dirty talk. Mars in Scorpio will embolden you to voice some saucy, possibly even taboo things during sex (after you’ve discussed it with your sexual partner, of course). If you’re not a fan of literal dirty talk, take this opportunity to check in with yourself. Are you a true vers who’s fallen into a rut of only bottoming during sex? Talk about it! Open and honest communication won’t just improve your sex life; it will strengthen your relationships too.

Libra

They say time is money, and you’re feeling that right now, Libra. Mars in Scorpio is pushing you to use your time and energy strategically. That might mean sex and dating have taken a backseat to other priorities in your life — or it could mean that you’re being choosier about whomever you’re meeting up with from Grindr. That’s totally valid, but don’t get too hung up on niche preferences. Fixating on small things could rob you of some steamy connections.

Scorpio

If you’re feeling yourself for the first time in a while, you’re not imagining it, Scorpio. Mars rules Scorpio, and it’s been in a rough spot for virtually all of 2025. Now that it’s in your sign, it’s like you’re finally in the driver’s seat again. That’s your cue to be bolder and fuck harder. Yes, your enigmatic aura is part of your allure, but messaging first is hot too. Promise. And don’t stop there; ask for precisely what you want in bed. The kinkier, the better.

Sagittarius

Your challenge this month, Sag? To get out of your head and into your body. While you’ll definitely be feeling the undercurrent of horniness that is Mars in Scorpio, you might also notice that quieting your mind during hookups is a struggle. Prioritizing solo time, self-reflection, and even masturbation will help, as will pushing yourself to pause the music videos for once and open up to your friends about anything that’s weighing on you.

Capricorn

Fucking your friends can get messy, which isn’t usually your speed, Capricorn. In life and sex, you like your boundaries firm and your expectations clear. That said, if there were ever a time to hook up with someone in your friend circle or pursue group sex, this next month would be it. You’ll have good luck shooting your shot in social settings, too — think cruising hotspots, nights out at the gay club, or even the apps.

Aquarius

You’re feeling powerful right now, Aquarius, and other people can see it. Mars in Scorpio is your periodic reminder that you can always take charge of your erotic fulfillment, but also your overall happiness in life. So if your inner control-freak top hops out, run with it. Initiate the action! And if you’re someone who identifies as a daddy (gender neutral) or is seeking a daddy of their own, lead with that. You might just get lucky.

Pisces

It’s time to mix things up, Pisces. Expect Mars in Scorpio to spark your desire for erotic experimentation — with new-to-you sexual partners, positions, toys, you name it. If you’ve been feeling a little bored with your sex life lately, well, now you have a wellspring of horny energy to draw from. Don’t overthink it. Chase after what feels right, whether you’re perusing the apps or scouring the dancefloor at the club.
