What's your sign?
Horoscopes for homos.
There's not a lot of science behind it, but throughout human history the stars have been a source of guidance - providing us with a framework that helps us to navigate through the cycles of time.
Capricorn Season
We're about to enter Capricorn season - beginning on 22 December and running through until 19 January.
Speaking on our podcast, How To Date Men, James Gaynor shares his insights regarding astrology.
We take a look at Capricorn season, how the zodiac can influence our sex lives, and how we can use the stars to shape our sexual encounters.
Attributes:
Those born under the sign of Capricorn tend to be organised and hard-working - they like to have a plan or some kind of framework so they know how they're going to navigate a situation.
A Capricorn man is likely to be reliable and dependent - not particularly spontaneous or adventurous but excellent at getting the job done.
Symbols
The symbol for Capricorn is the sea-goat - a mythical creature that is half goat and half fish. The origin story of the sea-goat is linked to the Greek god, Pan. The story goes that Pan was trying to escape the wrath of Typhon - he jumped into a river and attempted to change himself into a fish but Typhon caught him mid-transition which left him with the head of a goat and the tail of a fish.
This symbol speaks to the adaptability of the Capricorn man - he can be successful whatever his surroundings but it is uncertainty or a lack of structure that makes him uncomfortable.
Colour
The power colour associated with Capricorn is earthy red - anything from ochre through to a darker caramel.
Birthstone
The birthstone associated with Capricorn is garnet.
Who should have sex with Capricorns?
It's never a bad idea to have sex with a Capricorn guy - they're unlikely to ghost you, if they say that they'll turn up then they will. The downside with a Capricorn is that the sex may not feel particularly edgy or dangerous. Capricorns can you give that kind of experience but you have to let them know what's going to happen so that they've got a clear framework to work within.
The general consensus is that a Pisces man is a good match for Capricorn - Pisces are strong on emotions and feelings and will respond well to the structure and dependability of a Capricorn.
The other strong match seems to be with Leo, but it needs to be a Leo who is in fairly self-aware so that they value the balance that a Capricorn will bring to that relationship.
Who should Capricorns avoid?
It's the air signs that Capricorn struggles most with - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Men born under an air sign are unlikely to respond positively to the structure and dependability of a Capricorn man. Air signs like to shake things up just for the fun of it.
Looking for a third?
If you're looking to bring a guy into your relationship for some threesome fun, a Capricorn probably wouldn't be your first choice - they're going to feel most comfortable if they're the ones organising the hook-up.
Put the Capricorn in charge of the threesome. When is it happening? Who are we inviting? Who is going to do what to whom? Have an understanding of how the threesome is going to plan out will help the Capricorn relax and enjoy the experience.
The same principle applies if you're travelling with a Capricorn. Put them in charge of the itinerary - they're at their best when they're organising.
Gifts for Capricorns?
Before everything moved online, the Capricorn in your life was the guy that you bought the Filofax or planning diary for.
They're going to respond to practical gifts - a really nice pen, a smart watch, a fitness tracker. This is a man who finds a spreadsheet reassuring - lean into that.

Scorpio Season
Speaking on our podcast, How To Date Men, James Gaynor takes a look at Scorpio season, how the zodiac can influence our sex lives, and how we can use the stars to shape our sexual encounters.
Attributes:
Those born under the sign of Scorpio are generally fairly intense. They tend to make good leaders - they're loyal and committed, but can be quite fiery and passionate. They tend to play their cards close to their chest. You do not want to cross a Scorpio - they do not forgive and they do not forget.
Symbols
The symbol for Scorpio is the scorpion - which gives you a lot of information about the men that fall under this sign. While it's probably a bit literal to automatically associate Scorpio men with descriptions such as "deadly" or "sting in the tail", there is an intense spontaneity to Scorpios that feels aligned to their symbol - you know that you need to exercise caution but you're never quite sure what the red flags are or where the danger might come from.
Colour
The power colour associated with Scorpio is a deep red.
Birthstone
The birthstone associated with Scorpio is Topaz.
Who should have sex with Scorpios?
Everyone. Everyone should have sex with Scorpios because it's generally pretty good - it's a star sign that's strongly associated with sexual energy.
When it comes to relationships, however, that's a different story. Not everyone is equipped to sustain an emotional connection with a Scorpio.
Scorpio is a water sign, so they tend to find the easiest match with fellow water signs such as Pisces and Cancer. But you should never say never with a Scorpio - they will often surprise you and find love and commitment in the most unlikely combinations.
Who should Scorpios avoid?
Scorpios tend to struggle with Leos, and often also struggle with the centaurs of Sagittarius. But there's not much point getting caught up in the technicalities of it all - start with a sexual encounter, if the sexual energy feels right then it might be worth seeing where that can take you.
Looking for a third?
Scorpios are the ideal third to add a bit of spice to your relationship.
If you're a couple looking to have some threesome fun, then the sexual energy embodied by a Scorpio is exactly what you're looking for. You probably won't want them to stay the night and you definitely don't want to cook them breakfast in the morning, but they're here for a good time not a long time so make the most of that.
Gifts for Scorpios
If you're looking to buy something for the Scorpio man in your life, it's safest to lean into something that you know that they're already passionate about.
For example, if they're into swimming - get them something that's swimming related. Whatever their hobby or passion, give them more of that.
Scorpio men generally like to look and smell good, but go with brands that you know that they already like and will respond positively to. It's a high-risk strategy to buy them a perfume that they're not familiar with - you're on safer ground if you go with a perfume that you know that they already use.
Sagittarius Season
Speaking on our podcast, How To Date Men, James Gaynor takes a look at Sagittarius season, how the zodiac can influence our sex lives, and how we can use the stars to shape our sexual encounters.
Attributes:
Those born under the sign of Sagittarius tend to be optimistic and adventurous - open to the possibilities of anything that they encounter.
You would often describe the Sagittarian man as curious, independent, and needing to feel the freedom to be themselves and pursue their passions.
Symbols
The symbol for Sagittarius is the archer - but it is the archer in the form of a centuar. A favourite of Greek Mythology, centaurs have a reputation as being lusty and wild. But the duality of archer and centaur deliberately aligns Sagittarians with Chiron - a centaur known for his wisdom and gift of teaching and mentoring.
You might find a Sagittarian man to be a bit complex or hard to get to know, but that's probably because of the duality of his nature - passionate and adventurous but also thoughtful and independent.
Colour
The power colour associated with Sagittarius is purple.
Birthstone
The birthstone associated with Sagittarius is torquoise.
Who should have sex with Sagittarians?
It's never a bad idea to have sex with a Sagittarian guy - they're adventurous and open to trying new things. The downside of that is that you're going to need to keep challenging them or they could easily get bored.
Even if it's just a one-off kind of thing, you're going to need to make the proposition interesting - a basic hook-up is fine but it's not really going to capture the attention of a Sagittarian man.
The general consensus is that Aquarius is a good match for Sagittarius - in an opposites-attract kind of vibe.
The other strong match seems to be with Leo - a fellow Fire sign, a Leo and a Sagittarian are likely to generate a lot of heat. Sure, it probably won't last long, but it will be an intense and memorable encounter.
Who should Sagittarians avoid?
Sagittarians tend to struggle with guys born under the sign of Virgo. Virgo men generally like rules, order, discipline, whereas Sagittarians want the freedom to do it their own way - they're Centaurs who need to feel wild and free.
Looking for a third?
Sagittarians are a great option if you're looking for a third to add a bit of spice to your relationship. They're going to be up for trying anything, so if you are looking for someone to get a bit filthy with, these are your guys - they don't want it vanilla, they've done that.
The other plus-side of inviting a Sagittarian guy over for some fun is that they're not going to want to stick around. They want their freedom and independence - you won't have to cook them breakfast, they're already on the lookout for their next adventure.
Gifts for Sagittarians
If you're looking to buy something for the Sagittarian man in your life, you've got a bit of a challenge ahead of you.
Don't ask him what he wants - he'll find that boring. He wants to be surprised, he wants to stimulated, he wants something creative. But he's also not that bothered by material things - he doesn't want stuff just for the sake of having stuff.
The solution is probably to look for an experience - something that you can do together is ideal although he'll also be happy with solo time. What will impress him is that you've put some thought into it and gone beyond the obvious or the basic.
