Working with Venus to Alchemize Pleasure

Let's release shame. Pleasure isn't just sex or happiness. You can transform the present moment with magick in our January 2024 tarot and oracle forecast. 

This month we are working with Venus, and alchemizing pleasure, beauty, passion, sensuality, and eroticism. In this episode, we discuss what alchemy is, and how to use it. We also discuss the oracle messages with this card, and then build on that message with the Honeybee / Heart Awakener (The Lovers in standard tarot decks). 

The main themes for this month are:

• connecting to pleasure, and how to make consensual and autonomous choices
• opening to the mystical and material with alchemy
• creating sacred connections in reciprocity
• finding pleasure in the big and small moments and experience
• re-examining narratives of pleasure, sacred feminine, and power
