These Capricorn Season Sex Positions Will Have You Seeing Stars

On Dec. 21, the sun moves into the hard-working, grounded sign of Capricorn, signaling another season in the astrological year. While Capricorns are often categorized as traditional and pragmatic there is a romantic and sensual side to this Earth sign. Capricorns, consider this your sign to loosen up for your season, and celebrate with some good ‘ol Capricorn season sex positions.

Ruled by the 10th house, Capricorns are natural-born leaders — and that can totally translate in the bedroom. This Earth sign loves to be in control and get things done, which is super desirable in a partner. With this energy in the air (thank you, cosmos!), the Capricorn season is the perfect time to try a new position no matter your zodiac sign. The dominant energy is simply too good to ignore, y’all.

With that in mind, I’ve rounded up five sex positions that are perfect for harnessing the energy of the Capricorn season. Whether you’re trying them out with a partner, or simply with a hookup, these positions put you in control of your pleasure — which gives major Capricorn vibes. So, as the stars start to align for this new astrological season, get ready for the sparks to fly: It’s Capricorn season, after all!

Cowgirl

One of the main characteristics of a Capricorn is their ability to take control — which we love about them. And this position puts you in control of both your, and your partner’s, pleasure; it’s the Capricorn way! To do this, have the partner that’s doing the penetrating lay down as you get on top, straddling them. From there, rock, bounce, or grind depending on how you want to feel. It’s all about you!

Take a seat

Any couch sex enthusiasts? For this position, have your partner sit on the couch (or a chair) with their feet on the ground. Then, facing away from them, have them penetrate you from underneath while you sit on their lap. Not only is this comfortable for both parties, but it also keeps you in control of the speed, and intensity, of intercourse. We love to see it.

Lotus

This position has more of those intimate, sensual vibes that Capricorn have below the surface. To do this, position yourself so you’re face-to-face on the bed. Then, with their legs crossed, sit down in their lap and wrap your legs around their torso. Again, this is another dominant position, but due to how close your bodies get, it’s definitely steamy and intimate.

Face against the wall

Standing sex is a great way to spice things up during this transit. With your body facing the wall, bend your knees slightly so your back can arch. Then, have your partner penetrate you from behind as you use your hands to stabilize yourself. While your partner is doing more of the work, here, you can also push your body into them for a more intense, and dominant, romp.

Spooning

Finally, this position is great for a chiller, more intimate hookup. Laying on your sides, have your partner get behind you in a spooning position, penetrating you. The cadence of this position is entirely up to you — you can keep it sweet and sensual, or spice things up with some toys or a restraint. Regardless, remember to embody the energy of Capricorn season: what you say, goes! (Consensually, of course.)
