Sometimes you meet someone, and the second you lock eyes, something clicks. I’m not talking about love at first sight or the kind of fireworks that only happen in romance novels, but there’s a cosmic energy between the two of you—an immediate attraction you can’t quite explain. Well, turns out the explanation might be just that: it’s cosmic. And while that can account for the instant connection or the following sexual compatibility when it turns into something hot and heavy, it can also explain why, despite your endless efforts, that Hinge date you know is a great person and you should be really attracted to just isn’t… clicking.
If you’ve ever wondered what zodiac signs are the least sexually compatible, we asked an astrologer to find out. But don’t worry—if you and your soulmate are on the list, we’ve also got practical advice for exactly how to overcome (pun intended) that incompatibility. Here are the three least sexually compatible zodiac sign pairings.

Cancer and Aquarius
If you’ve ever been close to a Cancer and Aquarius couple, you probably thought something along the lines of, “Them?? Together??” when you first found out they were dating. They’re extremely different, but not in a “opposites attract” kind of way. Cancers are known for being soft, emotional, and intuitive, while Aquariuses, though also intuitive, have a cooler temperament, can’t stand drama, and are usually more focused on their own ideas and interests than on others. Their attraction can be strong, with Aquariuses falling for the Cancer’s emotional depth and Cancers finding themselves curious about the rebellious nature of Aquariuses. But that attraction might fall apart when they head into the bedroom.
“Cancer craves emotional intimacy, slow passion, and sensual connection, but Aquarius might come off as distant or simply unsure what to do with all that feeling,” Polina Arutiunian, a Spiritual Advisor at Nebula, a spiritual guidance platform, said. This can lead to lots of misunderstandings.
However, with effort and open communication, Cancer and Aquarius can work through their differences. “Cancer needs to give Aquarius space for experimentation and new ideas, while Aquarius could stand to tap into that buried sensual side and offer more emotional presence,” Arutiunian recommended. “With a bit of cosmic compromise, these two can turn their star-crossed mismatch into something truly electric.”
Capricorn and Gemini
As clever, rational signs, Capricorns and Geminis could talk for days about a myriad of deep, intellectual subjects, but that conversational chemistry doesn’t quite extend to their sex lives. Geminis seek a partner who’s as playful and imaginative as they are, open to bringing their fantasies to life in the bedroom, while Capricorns want a sexual relationship grounded in emotional connection and security before they’re ready to let their hair down. “Gemini might see Capricorn as too serious or reserved, while Capricorn may see Gemini as a little too unpredictable,” Arutiunian said.
To have a successful sexual relationship, both partners need to be willing to meet halfway. “If Gemini can explore their softer, more nurturing side from time to time, and Capricorn is willing to loosen up and tap into their more spontaneous side, sparks can start flying,” said Arutiunian. So, if you’re in a Capricorn and Gemini relationship, try to put yourself in your partner’s shoes from time to time, get out of your comfort zone, and see how it impacts your sexual compatibility.
Taurus and Libra
Unlike the other pairings that have some red flags from the beginning, on the surface, Taurus and Libra look like a match made in heaven. “Both are ruled by Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and indulgence,” said Arutiunian. “They vibe over art, fashion, romantic dinners, and that perfect candle scent.” They have the same interests, love the same aesthetics, and are often on the same wavelength. But there is such a thing as being too similar.
Both are passive signs, not wanting to make the first move or be the one to suggest something new, so they often reach a standstill. “Each of them waits for the other to bring the fire, and while the vibe is certainly sweet, it can sometimes lack that raw, passionate spark,” Arutiunian explained. When no one wants to make the first move, it’s pretty hard to advance the relationship at all past those initial similarities. But by taking turns leading, Taurus and Libra’s sexual compatibility issues can easily be fixed. You don’t each have to be in charge every time, but switching up the dynamic can allow both signs to thrive. By pushing yourself out of your typical role in the bedroom, your relationship and sex lives will improve immensely.
