On Sex, Religion, And Agency

sex and the planets of the 5th and 8th houses

the 5th house

sexual attraction is often indicated in the 5th house, but depending on the signs and aspects involved, this can manifest in many different ways. since the facets of one’s personality are most immediately expressed through the personal planets (sun, moon, mercury, venus and mars), links are provided for further insight. however, the outer planets (jupiter through pluto) and major points/asteroids can provide other meaningful nuances of sexual expression. here’s a quick list of how all the planets manifest their sexual energies/performance in the house of fun:

sun - sexual love is expressed wholeheartedly and unabashedly; truly knows the joys of sex

moon - your playful and free sexuality brings you a lot of attention which is often an emotional balm to your soul; may fall in and out of love regularly

mercury - sexual thinking is more straightforward and may be a bit restless in your love life

venus - you often confuse sex with love and will need that connection to another to feel fulfilled

mars - aggressive, passionate and emotional when it comes to sexual performance and expression of love;

jupiter - immense appetite for pleasure, the riskier the better and sexual fulfillment is often never too much, if in a hard aspect, you might very well be licentious; if well aspected, you’re more free with your sexual expression

saturn - sex is often work, either literally or figuratively. if in a hard aspect, you could very well be sexually inhibited; if well aspected, you channel your sexuality carefully. at any rate, you take your pleasures seriously

uranus - sex life may be highly original and unusual; you may use sex as a form of self-expression which is often unorthodox and shocking to others

neptune - the search for pleasure through sex or other indulgences may be ephemeral and elusive

pluto - you’re drawn to extremely strong and dramatic sexual situations which, unchecked, may rule your life

north node - you need to connect to others with the heart involved rather than a more cerebral ideal of sex; need to love more intimately rather than universally

part of fortune - your destiny lies in your ability to have fun with others and sex is one of the ways in which to do this

the 8th house

the eighth house shows how an individual handles sexuality. because this house is rather secretive, it often has an obscuring effect on sexuality. the hidden nature of the eighth house makes the energies of any of the planets that are in it a bit more difficult to understand. at any rate, here’s a quick list of how the planets’ sexual energies/performance are magnified and enhanced in the house of sex:

sun - the physicality of sexuality is emphasized; sexual intensity is paramount and will prove very significant to you in your life

moon - very secretive about powerful emotional and sexual needs, your sexuality is deep and mysterious and plays a big role in your emotional wellbeing

mercury - you have a passionate nature with deep-rooted emotions in general; talking and thinking about sex gets you off

venus - sexual experience is important and sexual performance will be very rooted in a desire for love and companionship

mars - for you, sex is a contest and defines your identity as a winner; more than likely will be sexually aggressive and will exert control using your sexuality

jupiter - when it comes to sex, you can be a little self-centered and self-indulgent, unless you consciously develop more self-discipline and responsibility towards your partner

saturn - sex may be physically satisfying but emotionally unsatisfying; this is a tricky placement since you fear losing emotional control which is otherwise essential to an authentic sexual experience

uranus - your sexuality may put you in dangerous and extraordinary situations; unorthodox sex positions such as orgies may appeal to you

neptune - sexual relationships may be coloured by fantasies and unreal expectations; more likely to use sex to escape from reality

pluto - sex will be intense and dramatically alter the lives of those you’re intimately involved with

north node - actively undertakes responsibility for a fated sexual connection with another; your life task may involve work related to sexuality, growth through deeply intimate relationships highlighted by sexual intensity

part of fortune - your destiny lies in the need to reconcile your deeply hidden emotions and sexuality

you see me on the front lawn in a short skirt and pom poms whooping and hollering and performing a complex cheer routine—the whole time staring straight up at the night sky. several quadrillion miles away, a black hole starts sucking in stars just a little bit faster

Wonderful Weekend

something the ddlg community seems to fail to acknowledge is that sexual arousal and orgasms are powerful conditioning tools. if you and your daddy sexualize childlike behavior, children’s innocence and helplessness, childlike speech/baby talk, children’s objects and toys, children’s clothing, etc etc these things will become sexual to you, anyone who’s taken the most basic psychology course can tell you this. your brains will literally begin to associate them on their own with sexual arousal and your “daddy’s” brain and dick will respond accordingly. he might absolutely get turned on seeing a child behaving and dressing and talking the very same way his “little” does simply because he’s used to all of these things being involved when he gets off.

he might not have started out as a pedophile and the two of you may be “consenting adults”, but use your critical thinking for a moment and realize that normalizing this pedophilic dynamic will make you both desensitized to it. the same way continuous exposure to violent porn creates a link between violence and sexual arousal for those consuming it, being turned on and getting orgasms while roleplaying pedophilia will cause a link to form between sexual arousal and childlike. your kink harms children, bye

Shadow Work Prompt #1

🪐 Topic - Childhood Trauma & emotional/physical isolation

🌕 Q1 What triggers you to seek isolation?

1a Can you think of any memories where you were taught to self isolate or shamed for an emotional response?

2a Was it safe for you to express your emotions openly as a child?

🌖 Q2 What adult did you feel comfortable around if any at all? What actions did this adult take to establish an environment where you could express yourself? If none, when was a moment you felt safe being seen & heard?

🌗 Q3 Why do you Isolate? Do you find yourself isolating even when it’s the last thing you want?

1a were you made to feel like a burden, or as if you were ridiculous or dramatic for your emotions growing up?

2a Are you comfortable with emotional comfort/support & validation when you are feeling this way?

3a How can people best approach you in moments of distress like this? Do you struggle with feelings of disgust towards support from your loved ones when you are isolating?

🌘 Q4 To take Q3 -3a a little deeper, have you dealt with intense shame & embarrassment when trusting others with your emotions? Perhaps someone you trusted most took advantage of your vulnerability and used it to hurt you? Do you think this could be linked to any of the disgust you feel?

🌑 Q5 touching on Q2, how can you recreate these environments for yourself? Even if you aren’t ready for support from others. How can you lovingly support yourself?

✨The way the adults treat us growing up affects everything about our lives. Sometimes we don’t realize the depths of our childhood wounds.✨

Isolation can be tempting, and it’s not easy to walk away from. If you’re not ready yet that’s okay, let’s think about how we can turn isolation into self care. Feeling emotionally defeated, overwhelmed, or having a straight up mental breakdown? Run a bath if you have one, put some shampoo in there for bubbles. Next time you’re at dollar tree and have a few extra bucks grab some face masks and fuzzy socks & a bath bomb. Put it all in a drawer grab them when you need them. Take the time to de-escalate your emotions and instead of isolation and self hatred let’s take physical and mental care of ourselves.

Let’s think about some coping mechanisms we can use:

(Note: sometimes coping mechanisms aren’t easy to use, be patient with yourself. Breaking cycles like this is HARD and very personal; have empathy for yourself.)

Some coping methods ive used in place of tw self harming

🌒 Take a thick notebook and a pen, use the pen in a scribbling motion to rip right through the papers. It has a similar feeling to cutting & can relieve some of the physical stress.

🌓 It’s not perfect, but scratching pillows / your bed can also help relieve some of the physical build up.

Need to talk to someone but aren’t comfortable ?

🌔 I personally am not a huge fan of journaling, while I do enjoy it at times in moments of extreme distress journaling isn’t always the best option for me. I have a hard time organizing my thoughts; and get overwhelmed easily. So I record myself venting, I cry, scream, yell, get it all out.

🌕 Perhaps write a letter to your inner child, or even yourself now. Detail how you feel, and support yourself. Lift yourself up, remind yourself of all you have accomplished no matter how minuscule it feels to you. Remember who you were last year and look at now, what improvements have you made? Where have you slacked? List out how you can improve these habits & begin breaking out of the cycles that no longer serve you.

I offer shadow work readings, anywhere from 10-45$ depending on the topic & length.
