Lean in close, my friends, because I’m going to let you in on some major knowledge: You can manifest sex and love. It works. I’ve done it. So can you! And by using astrology and magic in tandem, you’re tipping all of the luck in your direction. But before I dive into tips for each zodiac sign, let’s start with some basics.

What is manifestation, anyway?

Manifestation is the ability to make something happen. I like to think of it as: intention + action + energy = results. Everyone has the ability to manifest something. However, it is always important to remember the two-pronged approach: Use a ritual to tell the universe what you want, and then put in real-world effort towards your goal. For instance, if you're manifesting love, you can't just sit on your couch and expect your dream partner to show up and sit next to you as you're watching House of the Dragon. You need to put active effort into meeting new people, joining dating apps, or reaching out to your crushes and asking them out.

*When* can I manifest?

Technically, you can manifest anytime you want to! However, there are certain times that can tip the scales even further in your favor, astrologically.

Manifesting Sex and Love With A New Moon

New Moons open the door to new beginnings, and you can use actions to show the universe your intent to bring something *specific* into your lives. For example, you could create a sigil for your intention—aka a unique symbol that carries a very specific meaning. For best results, don’t use a symbol that already has symbolic meaning. Instead, make your own!

Manifesting Sex and Love With A Full Moon

Full Moons occur when the Moon is at its brightest. These are times when our emotions get more fervent and our passions are activated. They're associated with endings, turning points, breakthroughs, or breakdowns. A Full Moon is strongest on the exact date it reaches its totality, but you can tap into a Full Moon’s energy for two to three days before or after as well. One of the best ways to manifest during a Full Moon is to use a candle ritual. Think of this as lifting your goals up through the fire so they can become your newfound reality.

Using Astrology to Manifest Sex and Love

In astrology, each planet has its own attributes and we can use planetary movements—also known as transits—to further tip manifestation in our favor.

Specifically, you can use the Moon (representing emotional sensitivity), the Sun (representing radiance and power), Venus (the planet of attraction and beauty), Mars (the planet of sex appeal, passion, and drive), or Jupiter (the planet of luck) to manifest sex and love. If any of these planets are in your Sun sign (or Rising sign), you'll have an easier time tapping into their energy. For example, if you're a Sagittarius, Venus in Sagittarius is a great time for you.

No matter what your birth chart looks like, when it comes to sex and love, there are three particular zodiac signs for everyone to pay attention to. First, there's Leo, the zodiac sign that rules dating, courtship, and romance. Next, there's Libra, the zodiac sign that rules partnerships and marriage. Finally, there's Scorpio, the zodiac sign that rules sensuality and sexuality. When the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, or Jupiter are in one of these three signs, your sex and love manifestation rituals will have an extra boost of power.

While you can check out a handy ephemeris to track the planetary movements, websites like mine also list when these events happen throughout the year.

Manifesting Sex and Love For Each Zodiac Sign

Because of the way the stars are aligned, each zodiac sign has an extra edge in ~seduction~ whenever the Moon, the Sun, Venus, Mars, or Jupiter are in their zodiac sign. Mark these dates on your GCal so you can strike while the iron is hot! However, you also have extra luck on your side when you use *other* times of the year, as well. Here’s a list of the best timings and a ritual for you!

ARIES

Timing: Whenever Aries, Leo, Libra, or Scorpio energy is activated, especially during Aries season (March 21 to April 19), Leo season (July 23 to August 22), Libra season (September 23 to October 22), and Scorpio season (October 23 to November 21).

Ritual: Create a present-tense, single-sentence intention that describes what you want to manifest around sex and love: Something like "I am magnetic" or "My lover comes to me now." Focus your thoughts on your intention and repeat it in your mind as you light some incense. Imagine the smoke embodying your intention and filling the space around you to draw it in.

TAURUS

Timing: Whenever Virgo, Scorpio, or Sagittarius energy is activated, particularly during Virgo season (August 23 to September 22), Scorpio season (October 23 to November 21), and Sagittarius season (November 22 to December 21).

Ritual: If you have a few crystals, create a crystal grid to tap into their energy. Search Google Images/Instagram/Pinterest/wherever for "crystal grid" and choose a design you like. Then, print out or simply mirror that design, using 4-10 crystals to create a grid. Place a quartz crystal in the center to act as an "anchor stone" for your intention—you can even write your intention on a piece of paper and put it under the quartz. Place other crystals around your anchor stone in a pattern to help support it. Choose stones associated with love and sex, like rose quartz, garnet, and moonstone. Finally, sit near your grid and meditate on your intention. Bonus points if you do so regularly, like once a week.

Ritual: Create a mantra around sex and love and repeat it. A mantra should be a present-tense statement, like, “My life is filled with passionate love,” or “Love is everywhere,” or “I am open to my soulmate now and forever.” Do this on a regular schedule—such as once a day—as you focus your thoughts on your mantra. This helps you subconsciously begin to believe it is true.

You can use a piece of jewelry you already own, such as a ring, necklace, or bracelet, or buy a new one from a metaphysical shop. Turn that ring into a manifestation tool by holding an essential oil in your hand as you focus on sex or love. Then, use your fingers to transfer a few drops of the oil into the talisman as you imagine white light flowing from the oil and covering the jewelry. This talisman will now magnetize your desire to you.
