Astrokink 201: Mapping Your Erotic Ecosystem

with Lila Hades of the Unconventional Plutonian

a live and recorded online class from Wicked Grounds

10/18 11am Pacific

Your desires do not exist in isolation—and neither do the planets in your birth chart.

You might crave surrender and resist vulnerability. You might long to be adored while feeling uncomfortable receiving attention. You might need emotional safety and still be drawn toward risk, intensity, taboo, or transformation.

These tensions do not mean your desires are contradictory or broken. They may be part of what makes your erotic language uniquely yours.

AstroKink 201 moves beyond interpreting one planet at a time and invites you to explore your birth chart as an interconnected erotic ecosystem. We will examine how your planetary placements, houses, and aspects interact to create layers of desire, conflict, curiosity, power, and possibility.

Rather than asking, “What is my kink according to my chart?” we will ask:

• Which parts of my erotic self work together—and which parts want different things?
• Where might I experience tension between desire, safety, vulnerability, and control?
• What kinds of roles, dynamics, fantasies, or forms of intimacy allow multiple parts of me to be expressed?
• How can I translate my chart into experiments without treating astrology as destiny?
• What does my chart reveal about the deeper emotional meaning beneath what turns me on?

In this live virtual workshop, we will:

• Learn how aspects between planets can reveal erotic chemistry, tension, inhibition, amplification, and internal contradiction.
• Explore how house placements show where pleasure, power, fantasy, intimacy, visibility, service, and transformation may become especially meaningful.
• Practice synthesizing multiple placements rather than interpreting each planet separately.
• Examine the relationship between desire and safety through combinations involving Venus, Mars, the Moon, Saturn, and Pluto.
• Explore the 5th, 7th, 8th, and 12th houses as distinct landscapes of play, partnership, intimacy, taboo, fantasy, and surrender.
• Identify recurring erotic themes and develop your own constellation of kink archetypes.
• Translate your chart into prompts for negotiation, boundaries, pacing, aftercare, and relational communication.
• Use astrology to inspire characters, scenes, rituals, power dynamics, and roleplaying scenarios.
• Explore how two charts might interact without reducing compatibility to a simple “good” or “bad” match.
• Create a personal AstroKink experiment: a scene concept, fantasy inquiry, embodiment practice, communication prompt, or ritual inspired by your chart.

AstroKink 201 is not about allowing astrology to dictate what you should want or what you must enact through kink. A birth chart cannot replace consent, communication, compatibility, or self-knowledge. Instead, it can offer a symbolic language for approaching your desires and kink exploration with greater curiosity, imagination, and compassion.

You do not need to be sexually active, partnered, or highly experienced with kink to participate. Familiarity with the planets and basic birth-chart language will be helpful.

Attending AstroKink 101—or having comparable foundational knowledge of the AstroKink planetary archetypes—is recommended.

We will offer AstroKink 101 on 10/17 at 2pm Pacific and you may get ticketing here to attend live or through the recording.

Come prepared to meet the complexity of your desire without forcing it into a single label! Your chart is not a prescription. It is a playground—and in Part 2, we learn how its many moving parts play together.

Each participant will receive access to the workshop recording within 48 hours after class. I look forward to exploring together!
