Here’s how to spice up your sex life in the eclipse corridor this week
We’re in the corridor, folks, that heightened celestial hallway between eclipses.
Between the September 17 lunar eclipse in Pisces and the October 2nd solar eclipse in Libra, we’re in the thick of the thicket that is eclipse season. This span of days can be something of a cosmic catalyst as we’re hurled toward destiny, cursed with clarity and unsettled by all manner of revelations, challenges and change.
But never despair. The amplified energy of the corridor can be a real boon for boning.
Leah Levi, a dating expert at Flure, a safe, sexploration-forward dating app, maintains that chaos can indeed be the spark for creativity in the coming weeks. She is on hand and hand job to help your zodiac sign reach peak pleasure during this period.
Be sure to read for your sun, rising and Mars sign.
For take the lead, hold the reigns, call the shots Aries, Levi recommends inverting established power dynamics, “You’re all about control, but this eclipse asks you to try something different — like letting your partner take the reins. Roleplay or power dynamics could spice things up, giving you the thrill you crave.
Ruled by Venus and tied to earthly delights, Levi says Taurus can lean even further into the tangible, “Time to dive deeper into your sensual side. Blindfolds, silk sheets, or playful restraint might take your pleasure to a new level. Single? Consider exploring a more adventurous side of yourself.”
For Geminis who nurse a near-constant hard-on for novelty, Levi recommends a tête-à-tête and/or a ménage à trois, “Curious about trying a threesome or friends-with-benefits? This eclipse corridor taps into your love of variety. Dive into intellectual foreplay with sexy conversations, and see where it leads.”
What’s under your covers, Cancer? Levi imparts, “This eclipse season is your moment to explore desires you’ve kept hidden — whether that’s casual flings or same-sex experiences. Let go of fear and step into the unknown.”
For Leo, who prefers sexual attention to be absolute and utterly unwavering, this eclipse corridor offers new possibilities for personal expansion and unexpected pleasures, “You love being the star, but this eclipse pushes you to explore dynamics where you’re not always center stage. Open relationships or exploring power play could offer exciting new possibilities.”
Mutable as they are, Virgo folk were hit particularly hard by September’s lunar eclipse. Levi says the integration of the unexpected can be applied to sexual exploration, “Perfectionist in the bedroom? This eclipse season challenges you to let go of control. Whether it’s experimenting with BDSM or letting your partner lead, embrace the messy, real side of intimacy.
The upcoming solar eclipse in Libra will find the people of the scales weighing who and what they want in pleasure and partnership. Levi notes, “This eclipse season urges you to try something new, whether it’s exploring your bisexuality or considering an open relationship. Your need for balance might find harmony in a fresh approach to love.”
You love to hear someone else’s secret, Scorpio, but can also harbor shame when it comes to sharing your own. Levi imparts, “Intensity is your thing, and this eclipse is turning it up. It’s time to bring your hidden desires to the surface — whether that’s kink, power play, or something darker. Be open and communicate clearly.”
Your hunger for new experiences finds ample opportunity for feasting during this time, Sagittarius. Levi shares, “You’re all about exploration, and this eclipse is your signal to push the boundaries in your love life. From ethical non-monogamy to a spontaneous fling, now’s the time to satisfy your adventurous spirit.”
It’s high time to make pleasure your business, Capricorn. Levi’s message for seagoats? “You’re used to focusing on goals, but this eclipse corridor asks you to make room for pleasure. Try something new, like tantric sex or sensory play, and prioritize satisfaction over productivity.”
Ruled by wild-the-f–k-out Uranus, no one has ever accused an Aquarius of adhering to the status quo, and that refusal to conform could be your ticket to ride in the coming weeks. Levi shares, “You thrive on breaking the rules, and this eclipse season lets you embrace your unconventional side. Whether it’s polyamory or open relationships, explore love and sex in a way that feels authentically you.”
Post-lunar eclipse, Pisces people have really been going through it and are more in dire need of the curative qualities of a proper lay. Levi shares, “You live in your fantasies, and this eclipse season is your chance to make them real. Whether it’s roleplay, sensory experiences, or a dreamy, passionate moment, let your emotions guide you.”
