Sexual Alchemy

Seven cards shaped as an alchemical vessel: two desires at the base, the exchange in the middle, the result crowning it. About bodily compatibility and what keeps you both closed.

Choose it for questions specifically about the body and intimacy, not about the relationship as a whole.

How to read it

Read from the bottom up, the way the reaction runs. Compare cards one and two first: two raw desires, rarely at the same temperature. Cards three and four show what each of you actually brings to bed: tenderness, power, gratitude or demand. Cards five and six are the clamps: shame, exhaustion, old experience, a grievance the body remembers longer than the mind. Only then read card seven, which names what your joining creates. If seven is stronger than the four below it, intimacy heals you; if it is weaker, you are spending each other.

Positions

  1. Your desire

    What your body actually wants, regardless of what you ask for in words.

  2. Their desire

    What your partner needs in intimacy and has never once said outright.

  3. What you give

    What you bring to bed: tenderness, power, gratitude, demand, or simple absence.

  4. What they give

    How your partner answers your desire, and whether that answer actually fills you.

  5. Your clamp

    The shame, exhaustion or old story that keeps you from opening all the way.

  6. Their clamp

    What holds your partner tense and turns intimacy into a duty being performed.

  7. What is born

    The third thing your joining creates: strength, attachment, dependency or emptiness.
