About This Position

The receiving partner lies on their back with their hips elevated, gazing upward as if reading the stars, while the penetrating partner kneels between their legs. This position allows for deep penetration while the receiving partner can fantasize or focus on internal sensations.

Step-by-Step Guide

The receiving partner lies on their back and places a firm wedge or stacked pillows under their hips, elevating the pelvis significantly. The hips should be higher than the shoulders, creating a steep upward angle for the vaginal canal.

The receiving partner gazes upward — the elevated hip position naturally directs their gaze toward the ceiling. Close your eyes and focus on internal sensations rather than visual cues, treating the position as a meditative, fantasy-driven experience.

The penetrating partner kneels between the elevated legs, aligning their pelvis with the steep angle created by the hip elevation. Enter slowly — the elevated angle targets the deep spot and anterior fornix directly.

The penetrating partner can place their hands on the receiving partner's elevated hips to control depth and angle. The hip grip provides leverage for thrusting and allows real-time angle adjustments.

The receiving partner focuses entirely on internal sensation — the stargazing/astrologer concept means looking upward and letting the mind wander while the body receives deep stimulation. The lack of face-to-face contact enhances the fantasy element.

Adjust the hip elevation angle to target different areas: higher hips = deeper (deep spot/cervix); lower hips = more anterior wall (G-spot). The wedge angle is the main stimulation control.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even with the right technique, small errors can reduce pleasure or increase injury risk. Here are the most common mistakes couples make with the Astrologer position:

Hips not elevated enough

The Astrologer requires significant hip elevation to create the deep-spot-targeting angle. A thin pillow or slight elevation creates a moderate angle — for the deep spot, the hips need to be substantially higher than the shoulders. Use a firm wedge pillow for optimal elevation.

Trying to maintain face-to-face contact

The Astrologer is explicitly designed for the receiving partner to gaze upward, not at the penetrating partner. The lack of visual contact is a feature that redirects attention to internal sensations and fantasy. Forcing eye contact in this position fights the design.

Thrusting too deep initially

The steep angle from hip elevation means the deep spot and cervix are directly accessible. Starting with full depth can be uncomfortable or overwhelming. Begin with shallow entry and let the receiving partner's body adapt to the deep-spot pressure.

Using a soft pillow that compresses

A soft pillow compresses under body weight, losing the elevation angle. A firm wedge or densely folded towels maintain the angle throughout the session. The elevation must be consistent — a collapsing pillow changes the angle mid-session.
