Astrokink 101: Discovering Your Erotic Archetypes

with Lila Hades of The Unconventional Plutonian

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

10/17 2pm Pacific

Your birth chart doesn’t just say who you are—it shows you how you want to be erotically met.

We will offer two related classes over two days. Feel free to attend one or both! Join us for Part 2 on Oct 18th at 11am. (Tickets also on Plura.)

What if your birth chart could tell you more than whom you are compatible with or what kind of career you should pursue?

What if it could help you find language for desires you have struggled to name?

What if astrology could offer a map—not of what you are destined to want, but of the many ways you might explore your experience of pleasure, power, fantasy, surrender, intimacy, and erotic expression?

Welcome to AstroKink—where the planets help you discover your kink archetypes and your birth chart become a playground and framework for exploring desire, power, and possibility.

We’re talking:

• Your Venus as your pleasure style (romantic, indulgent, aesthetic, or chaotic)
• Your Mars as how you pursue, initiate, and play with intensity
• Your Moon as your emotional needs in kink and power exchange
• Your Saturn as your edges, limits, discipline, and restraint kinks
• Your Pluto as your intensity and shadow taboos that could lead to obsession or transformation
• And our exploring the other planetary archetypes

In this live virtual workshop, we will:

• Discuss and play with planetary archetypes as gateways into different kink dynamics (Brat, Caregiver, Ruler, Trickster, Devotee, etc.)
• Learn new tools for communicating desires and boundaries with clarity
• Discover shadow, taboo, and desire through Pluto and the 8th house
• Experience space to explore your personal astrology and kinky edges without shame or pressure

AstroKink can be used as a tool for self-discovery, communication, creative experimentation with kink and your eroticism, and relational reflection.

You might love the AstroKink approach to:

• Find language for desires or fantasies that have felt difficult to articulate.
• Explore your relationship with dominance, submission, service, control, surrender, or erotic authority.
• Understand what helps you feel emotionally and physically safe enough to experiment.
• Identify possible needs around boundaries, negotiation, pacing, and aftercare.
• Develop characters, personas, scenes, rituals, or roleplaying scenarios.
• Explore the emotional meaning beneath a fantasy without assuming you must enact it.
• Examine shame and inherited beliefs about pleasure.
• Notice where your desires contain tensions that deserve curiosity rather than forced resolution.
• Generate new questions to discuss with a partner, play partner, or community.
• Discover forms of pleasure and intimacy that do not revolve around conventional sex.
• Create a more personal, embodied, and expansive relationship with your birth chart.

You do not need to be an experienced astrologer or kinkster to engage with this work. You also do not need to be sexually active or partnered. I look forward to exploring together!
