   I adore sex but I am very choosy about who I do it with. That doesn’t mean, however, that I have to be in love with the person, or even that the possibility of love be present. It just means they have to be good-looking.

   I love looking at men. It’s true. But it is rare that I go buzzing around like a hornet like you’re describing. I just don’t see enough men that I want to do it with.

   Scorpio Mars conjunct MC, and my Pisces Moon trines the Mars too … I don’t know if that means anything.

   Mars in Capricorn, 12th house, conjunct ascendant, square Sun, Jupiter and Mercury, trine Pluto. I voted for “other priorities.” I didn’t really notice that in fact I did have a sex drive until I was about 26, and I can’t say I’ve made up for lost time since then.

   Cancer Mars conjunct Saturn. It’s there, it’s sky high, it’s troublesome to the point of putting pressure on relationships. And then it’s off, non-existent. When I’m in a relationship I can’t get enough. When I’m single most guys don’t even begin to catch my eye, much less my mind and they certainly don’t turn me on.

   Stop, start. It makes me amazingly desperate for a relationship and highly monagamous.

   My sex drive is pretty high - I find myself making sexual comments without noticing and glancing at good-looking men when they’re unaware (i’m shy).
   Usually it’s all in my head because I like fantasising. My Mars is in Libra, 6th house, squaring Mercury, opposing Moon and the Ascn. and sextile Uranus. sorry for the boring details. Oh and I just noticed it also squares my MC (my poor Mars, snif)

   mars in cap, sun sextile mars, mars in the 1st house.
   My husband says I am more like a guy. Poor guy, he’d like to be able to keep up.

   Well, I picked sky-high & ever present. My Mars is in the tail-end of the 3rd House & could be read as in the 4th House. It’s in Gemini, conjunct Venus & Saturn, opposite Neptune, trine Moon & Pluto. It’s curious you mentioned Saturn, b/c while I’ve always had a very high sex drive, I’ve had relatively few partners. So, that might explain how Saturn might “squelch” ones natural desires. And with Venus & Mars conjunct…well, I’ve been told I’m insatiable *evil grin*

   Of course, I also go thru ebbs & flows…the past few wks have been rough b/c the normal level of desire is 1000x’s worse than usual, but the horizon looks fairly empty from here. hehe

   Which brings me to something I’ve been meaning to ask - astrological signs, aspects, etc. often run in families…I’ve often wondered if some people get hornier at certain times of the year b/c (if they or their partner conceived then) it would produce a child of a particular sign (or with a certain aspect)? What do you think?

    Mars in the 9th in sag conjunct mercury, neptune, mc, moon, square saturn and ascendant, sextile pluto. I have a sex drive, but since Saturn has been transiting the fifth (just finished recently) I really haven’t had much of one. In my mind, yes, but no real action regarding it, even though I have the opportunity.

    I was a late bloomer but then I exploded, but when in a relationship I don’t look elsewhere for that. But for me, as hot as a man is, I don’t so much want to have sex with him, I can appreciate the beauty but I need a connection. When I was younger it was about ‘getting him’ but now, not so much. I have Venus in Scorp in the 8th and that’s where that comes from, I’m guessing. And then comes the control problem, but that’s another story All I know is I want my real sex drive back!!!!

    My b/f has mars conjunct venus in scorpio and I have never met a more insatiable person. Goddamn, I was always the aggressor until meeting him, it was all new territory.

    mars in aquarius, house 1. conjunct sun, trine pluto… I used to have and excessive sex drive when I was a teenager, then I become almost frigid at around 18 to 27. Now it’s getting normal, but far from high. 1-2 times a week or less. depends alot on the time of the month. This was due to a hormonal unbalance, I don’t know of any astrological transit that would back it up.
    I’ve done a litle research on my own about this, I love talking about sex with friends. I’ve noticed both saturn and jupiter contacts to mars can make for a huge libido. I was surprised about saturn.. it also gives loads of self control as would be expected, but no effect on low libido that i’ve noticed.

    Sky high but I think I might have been foiled by the laptop mousepad and clicked the wrong button on the poll. I have Mars conjunct Pluto and Uranus in the 10th part of a t-square involving Mercury in the 7th and Saturn in the 4th. I spend a lot of time being frustrated beyond belief when I’m not in a relationship. Scorpio moon and Ascendant and an 8th house Venus. When things are good, it’s really really good.

    I’m on the fairly low end; I like sex, I just generally have other priorities. And a whole complex where I’m pretty sure I’m not very attractive, so what’s the point anyway? Other games in life work out better for me.

    Mars in Gemini in 10th house. It appears to be part of a strong and a weak grand trine - formed with moon in Aquarius in 6th and then sun and uranus in the 2nd.

    I’ve been accused of being oversexed…but I’m a responsible Cap, so I try to repress it
    Mars-sag, 1st house; square jupiter, conjuct. neptune, sextile pluto.

    I have a highly aspected Mars in Leo in the fifth conjunct the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, and trine Jupiter and Uranus.

    Sexuality is just part of life for me, and it pervades the way I look at the world. It doesn’t really stand out to me because it’s so intermeshed with everything else. It can also be sort of frustrating when it comes to actual sex. If sex isn’t fun (Jupiter), unusual (Uranus), loving (Venus), and an opportunity for me to express (Mercury) myself (Sun/Leo) and my creativity (5th), then it’s unfulfilling. That’s a lot to cover!

    I am so over sexed and as for mars and it’s aspect….I am not sure…still astrotarded. Oct 31, 1970 Co. Springs. Co

    Mars conjunct merc in 5H leo with ‘easy’ aspects to venus, moon, chiron, asc, mc and jupiter but squaring neptune…..I LOVE sex. I am also a very monogamous person and if not in a relationship feel starved for my ‘other’…though can be content w/o.

    I see sex is such a part of enjoying the body you were born with in this lifetime that I don’t analyze it. I have always noticed that I think about sex a lot and everyday throughout the day (wondering what someone looks like naked, what they are like in bed, what they are like with their spouse/so in bed, etc…gosh!). I guess it just feels normal??

    Definately when I am single, I need to ‘click’ with someone or it’s a no go. In due part I feel like most of my relationships have been quite karmic. It’s like we energize each other with good dialogue, interests laughter and more laughter. I feel pretty freakin’ normal, happy and sexualized.

    Mars in Aries, forms a Grand Fire Trine with Saturn and Neptune. Conjunct Venus. My sex drive is high, and I consciously chose a life partner who has a higher sex drive than me. Previous relationships have seen me grow depressed and left me totally unfulfilled.

19. L says on 6/27/07 at 7:33 am:
    

    Mars is in Leo in the 5th house, conjunct the Sun and sextile the Moon.

    I’ve always had a strong sex drive, but kept it under wraps for a lot longer than most young women. That’s due to a Venus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo. I wasn’t going to do it with anyone just for the sake of doing it. It had to be with someone I loved with everything I had in me.

    Even now, after marrying and having three kids, I feel the same. Casual sex and experimenting with many different partners are just not for me.

20. L says on 6/27/07 at 7:39 am:
    

    Oh, one more thing–and this has got to be Mercury in Virgo in the 5th, as well as Venus/Pluto…there has to be some kind of strong mental connection, or I lose interest in a snap.

    Looks and other physical attributes never attracted me. I’ve never been attracted to stereotypical “handsome” men.

    Mars in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus! When it’s on it’s on, and when it’s not, it’s not. Drove a lot of men bats over the years. Very selective about lovers because it’s the emotional connection that Scorpio is interested in as much as the sex. Interestingly enough, since the hormones aren’t racing through my system anymore, I feel free . . . goes back the control thing(Mars in Scorp sq Pluto). Resented feeling like I was being led around by my damn blood chemistry!! Still notice a really nice butt though . . .

    My guess is that Mars in Water signs need the emotional component to feel fulfilled in their sexuality.

22. Jennifer says on 6/27/07 at 1:55 pm:
    

    It varies…high when I am with someone, nonexistent when I am not. I think my body figured out that there’s no point in having a sex drive when there’s nobody to do it with.

23. Dina says on 6/29/07 at 8:33 pm:
    

    I have Mars in Capricorn in the 12th house sextile Jupiter. I would have checked no sex drive sometime ago because I was less aware of it. Sometimes I don’t know how aggressive I am or how in sexual situations I tend to tenderly take charge. I also haven’t associated myself with anger. I’ve finally had a sort of sexual awakening now and notice my root chakra on a lot too. As a Gemini I resent my shoulder surfing when I talk to someone and have tried to curb it, but I talked to this one spiritual guy who compared me to my Chinese astro, the tiger, and see that I can’t help but notice every sexy man I see.

24. Dina says on 6/29/07 at 9:02 pm:
    

    I have lots of illusions about sex and what is sexy/attractive. Like, somehow women having sex shouldn’t be real, but the tan, hairless, large-breasted pornographic plastic women. And when I find out what men want (through speech and things I read/watch), that their standards are more stringent maybe, I get confused. I feel like there are many different kinds of sex, some that are portrayed in movies I find depressing and boring. This is very confusing. Do you know what I mean?

    I really don’t know how to answer. (The pesky Mars Venus Pluto conjunction in Libra rears it’s head! RAR!)

    I went from having a fairly normal sex drive to a sky-high period from the late 90’s into early 2001 where I felt more like the idea of a “male” sex-drive. Then I gained a bunch of weight and my sex drive plummeted - although I still need between one and three sessions a week to stave off crankiness, depending on where I am in my menstrual cycle. (Sorry if that’s TMI, guys.)

    So I suppose I vote “Two times a week” and call it a day.
