Why do I use Astrology in my work as a holistic sexuality coach?
I love this question so much!
Astrology is a language of activation and aliveness.
A tool to unleash the elixir of sacred energy yearning to move through you.
Yearning to co-create with you.
To inspire and enliven you.
To love you into wholeness.
Let’s talk about Kegels! Are you doing them? Do you love them? Are you getting results?
If you’re like most women I know the answer is nope, nope, and nope.
There’s a reason for that. And it's not your fault.
In this episode, I dive into why the Kegel doesn’t work, and what does. I share 4 reasons why women need vaginal mastery and the best way to achieve it. Did you know that your vagina can be as dexterous as your hand? I kid you not! Tune in for all the details.
In this episode I dive into the juicy, sometimes controversial topic of our multi orgasmic nature and how to cultivate it.
Here’s the thing. All humans are multi orgasmic. Every single human has this innate gift at their disposal and in this episode I’ll be focusing on women and I’ll give you three simple ways to start claiming yours.
In this episode I cover:
Let’s dive in!
When you’re ready for more, I’m ready for you! The Jade Egg Practice is the best practice I know of to cultivate your multi-orgasmic potential.

Full Moon/ Lunar Eclipse in Cancer Jan 10, 2020
Clearing and Crystalizing for 2020
Full Moons are a cumulation, a closure, an illumination on what we need to see and release to move forward. This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse is all of that on steroids. It’s bound to stir things up. Take a deep breath. Ground yourself. Roll up your sleeves. Let’s do this.
What we work with here sets the tone for all of 2020.
What are you releasing, alchemizing, integrating?
What do you want to build?
What systems and structures do you want to create?
Where do you want to build power?
What’s been blocking you?
Where did you outsource your authority and give your power away?
What are you ready to let go of?
This Moon’s mantra is “That was then. This is now.”
It’s asking us to dive deep and take inventory on what needs to go. It’s an invitation to make a shift. Perhaps a quantum leap. To shift away from habits, mindset, and modes of operation that have blocked us from thriving and into new ways of doing things. Ways in service to creating a more loving, inclusive, safe and nourishing world for ourselves and others.
2020 has the potential of being a landmark year. The year of the paradigm shift. The shift from the patriarchal dominator model of operation to a kinder model rooted in love. This just may be the collapse of the top-down authority and the dawn of a new way of being human. It’s going to be a year of endings and beginnings. A year to cultivate personal mastery, whatever that means for you. We all have a part to play.
As a new addition to LSM, I added a section called Making it Personal. There you’ll find an audio for your rising sign on where the major shifts in your life may be happening for you. Access that by scrolling down.
Who’s dancing?
OMG, this Moon is a bit of a mosh pit of transformation.
The Full Moon is always opposed by the Sun and dancing cheek to cheek with the Sun in Capricorn are some powerful players.
Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn: these two coming together exact on Jan. 12th, 2020 mark the end of an old era new relationship to power and authority. The cauldron of transformation is stirred to a froth.
Ceres in Capricorn: Ceres the Earth Mother Goddess connected to women’s mysteries, and themes around food, safety, and nourishment but also the grief and rage of the feminine about what’s been stolen and wanting it back.
Mercury in Capricorn: Exactly conjunct the Sun and opposite the Moon what does Mercury in Capricorn want? It wants us to be grounded and powerful in our communication and mindset. This is about taking ownership of our language in service to our truth.
Eris in Aries: Square to this Moon. I like to call Eris the Mockingjay. She’s the Goddess of the revolution. The rebel sacred feminine warrior from the street. Scrappy and feisty, she takes no prisoners and will fight to the death to set her people free. Eris will be squaring Pluto all through 2020 so this will be a theme. In the Making it Personal section I offer an inquiry on where you may feel Eris energy the most in your life. How we use this energy can make or break us. It’s a powder keg. Using it wisely can fuel you.
Eris in Aries and Uranus in Taurus stationing direct.
When planets station they appear to stand still in the sky. When this happens their energy amplifies significantly and is more strongly felt. With these two rebels, we will definitely be feeling it.

Planting Seeds of Power, Authority and Pleasure
The New Moon is a powerful portal for new beginnings.
It’s a great time to tune in and get intentional about the life you were born to live and the world you want to live in. What are your heart’s true desires?
How does your unique essence and soul’s purpose connect with the grander scheme of what’s unfolding right now?
When we align the creative life-force of our sexual energy and our desires with the potent lunar portals of the Full and New Moons, we get in rhythm with ancient medicine.
We claim our agency to co-create with the universe and each other. And make the world a more beautiful place.
My intention with Lunar Sex Magic is to support you in having an embodied experience of astrology.
I use astrology in my work as a holistic sexuality coach because it’s one of the most potent tools we have for exploring the nuances of our unique gifts, talents, the details of our work and mission, spiritual growth and our unique sexual essence.
In Lunar Sex Magic, I share some tools to live more in alignment with your true essence so you can create your life from the inside out.

2019 has been a wild ride for everyone I know. Lots of deep diving, truth-telling, soul excavating, and for many, challenging choices, big shifts, painful losses, and grief.
We’ve had a lot of evidence surfacing on what’s not working in our lives and in the world. As we move into 2020, we’re given the tool kit to reconstruct better models. Permission to claim full authorship on the blueprint. To build our world anew. A world more aligned with what matters most to us.
For me, that means systems, structures, and containers in my life that support flourishing, equality, beauty, partnership, connection, love, joy, sensuality, and pleasure.
What does that look like for you? This is personal and collective.
Your desires have impact. Powerful impact.
This New Moon in Capricorn, combined with a Solar Eclipse, is setting the stage.
Asking us to take a hard look at power and authority. And take responsibility.
This Moon is a golden opportunity to take a quantum leap into being the boss of you. It’s a power Moon that’s got your back.
And it’s asking us to make pleasure a top priority. What you work with here impacts the year to come.
Who’s dancing?All that and more. Let’s dive in!

This Full Moon in Gemini is here to shine the light on all things communication. It’s about conversations.
What’s being said. What’s not being said.
The essence behind the words. We all have something to say. Our voice is one of a kind.
A medium to express our soul. Our voice matters.
Our conversations matter.
This Moon asks us to take a look at how we use our voice but even more importantly to take a look at what’s going on with the voice in our head.
What daily themes are showing up in the headlines of our inner landscape? Who’s in charge?
Who has the microphone? Is the voice supportive?
Kind? Loving? Approving? Fearful?
Critical? Resentful?
The good news is that we have so much agency here.
When we notice what’s happening with our inner conversations we begin to direct them. This Moon is here to help us see how we use the magical power of language in our inner and outer landscape.
Who’s dancing?
Pallas Athena aka Wonder Woman is in house, keeping things real to the feel.
Neptune is also a big player asking us to let go, to trust love and to open to mystical inspiration.
Venus, now in Capricorn is dancing cheek to cheek with both Saturn and Pluto. Infusing Venusian magic into to the hard work that’s being done.
Eris the Goddess of discord, the rebel from the street is in revolt against the powers that be and demanding to be heard.
And Vesta in her Tauruan glory is in a sexy, high stakes tango with Mars in Scorpio.
Spicy stuff. Let’s dive in.

Beauty is a tricky topic and so triggering for many women.
I get it. But in a podcast devoted to Venus, we gotta go there.
One of the most sinister and disempowering things to come out of the patriarchy has been the hijacking, commercialization and the trivializing of real beauty.
When you take away a culture’s authentic connection to beauty, it’s a violation of the soul. You take away hope, inspiration, aliveness, and even gratitude. You take away their right to embody and express the essence of who they are.
Without beauty (the internal and external experience of it), we go numb. We disconnect from the Goddess within.
“Venus reminds us that the opposite of aesthetic is anesthetic.” -Caroline W Casey, Astrologer When we lose our connection to beauty, we’re operating at a huge deficit.
It’s time to shift that. And shifting it is!
Beauty first and foremost is an inside job.
Your unique essence with full permission to shine.
In the words of the infinitely quotable Coco Chanel: “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”
Celebrating your true beauty is an act of rebellion. And an act of courage.
But hey, Venus favors the bold.
In this episode I explore:
Beauty as a spiritual quality
Beauty as an act of rebellion
The perils of the toxic mimic of beauty and how to avoid them
Some beauty rebels I adore
4 ways to fully reclaim and own your beauty from the inside out

New Moon in Sagittarius, November 26, 2019 Wielding the Lasso of Truth
This New Moon in Sagittarius is an invitation to step more deeply into embodying our truth. When Sagittarius is involved it’s all about the quest. We’re being called on an adventure; mind, body, and spirit. All three at once is is how this fire sign rolls.
This Moon is asking us to explore and plant new seeds around our personal quest for truth with a capital T. To plant seeds that support our journey, to ask ourselves, what do we truly need in our custom trail mix to keep us inspired, growing, expanding.
Wonder Woman aka Pallas Athena is in the house, infusing this moon with the promise of wholeness. Wielding her lasso of truth around our strategies for having it all.
This and so much more. Let’s dive in!

The Full Moon can be a reveal; shining a light on what we need to see to live our true destiny. It can show us what we need to release or shed in order to move forward on our path. It also can also be a cumulation, a completion, a closure of some kind. And/or a celebration; receiving the fruits of your labor; a time to highlight and give thanks to what you’ve manifested. It’s a great time to tune in and get intentional about the life you were born to live.
What are your heart’s true desires? How does your unique essence and soul’s purpose connect with the grander scheme of what’s unfolding right now?

This Full Moon in Taurus is a delight in so many ways. Taurus, an Earth sign and the most sensual sign of the Zodiac, is calling us to step more deeply and boldly into our personal pleasure zone.
In the hustle and bustle of our modern world, our sensuality gets a bad rap. Often pushed aside as frivolous, decadent, and nonessential in the busyness our workaday lives and even in the realm of our spiritual lives. it’s often seen as the enemy of productivity and a distraction from our spiritual growth. Taurus begs to differ.
This Full Moon is an invitation to explore a different narrative on sensuality. One that embraces pleasure as a path to higher self-expression, productivity and as a path to God/Goddess or however you choose to define the divine. The Taurean Mysteries explore pleasure as a practice. A practice of curating the utmost experiences of pleasure so that we can taste the sacred right here and now. So that we can be steeped in gratitude. So that we can appreciate and celebrate our precious lives on Earth.
Ancient cultures lived these mysteries and thrived. We’re starting to remember.
This Full Moon can light the way.
