Desire and Creation in the Sacral Chakra

Every once in a while, I love to pull one fractal, of the larger curriculum in SkyDancer, to give you all a taste of what we are dancing with as Venus Moves through her Evolutionary Cycle. It is so rich. What we do, is pull from Venus’ current Astrology, and synthesize the specific lessons she is beaming down to us.

In honor of The Venus Mars conjunction in Aquarius, I’d love to offer this practice.

In this teaching we are working with the Archetypes of the Sacred Prostitute, (Venus) Masculine Energy. (Mars, Will to Act) and Aquarius (The Cosmos), and providing a Map for Creating with the Evolutionary Energies in the Sacral Chakra.

In our SkyDancer Deepening call this month, I spoke a bit about the Call and Response function with the World/Cosmos. And “Desire’s” important place there. How following the thread of Desire grows us into the biggest version of ourselves. Below find a link to the video I mentioned.

(As always, many of my transmissions come through on a wave of inspiration. I’ve found it is more powerful for me to find my way to a recording device to capture them, rather than worry about “hair, makeup, lighting, or background being perfect). Plus, I’m playing with my own capacity to be seen everywhere, letting go of masks and attachments to perfection.)

After Listening, What I’d love for you to imagine, or play with, is this idea of “Creating WITH Life”, creating with the universe, creating with the stars, creating with Eros. In that everything that comes up in our experience and awareness is “courting us”. It is inviting us even more deeply into our lives, or down our path… (however you’d like to imagine that)

Imagine that each unexpected bill, each unexpected car problem, each unexpected thing, is an opportunity to respond. In In the Sacral Chakra “Response-ability” is one of our frequencies.

But here in the Sacral Chakra it’s not responsibility like sober maturity. It’s the ability to respond - creatively.

So as you are watching the video linked at the button above, tune into the courtly love between Venus and Mars and the dynamic of the Sacred Prostitute, see if you can map that onto the Universe. (Aquarius) In that all of our experiences become Venus inviting us to meet them artfully. And we are little “Mars” who act on these invitations.

In a sense, this metaphorical invitation is a way to work deeply with inner Heiros Gamos. Which is definitely a Venus Mars Signature.

How why does this matter? We are world in fall, on the brink, in the dark. It feels like we are so close to breakthrough, but we just we have so few adequate, real-life, leaders and mentors, who are truly dreaming into what a new world can look like. We know peace and change start within us. So in the absence of real leadership, Archetypes can be a stand in guide for us.

Listen to this breathtaking quote by Nancy Qualls-Corbett from her book Sacred Prostitute as she describes the current paradigm...

 “An archetype is a pre-existent form that is part of the inherited structure of the psyche common to all people. These psychic structures are endowed with strong feeling tones. The archetype, as a psychic entity, is surrounded by energy which has the ability to activate and transform conscious contents. When the archetype is constellated, that is, activated, the release of that specific energy is recognized by consciousness and felt in the body through emotions. Thus, for example, when the archetype of the goddess of love is constellated, we are imbued with the vitality of love, beauty, sexual passion, and spiritual renewal. The loss of an archetype gives rise to frightful discontent in our culture.” 

In essence with this practice, we are making life, and the cosmos, the archetype of the Fisher King, and responding as the “Sacred Prostitute” who can serpent charm, or make love to any situation that comes our way.

There have been many theories about the Holy Grail. In my spiritual ethos, the Holy Grail IS the sacred feminine, the temple priestess, who initiates the King, into the greening of the heart, the realm of beauty, and the vitality of the dance of fertility.  

Instead of writing a manifesto, I thought I’d show you the dynamic in real time. Watch as Celinde uses her energy, her very presence, to act as the serpent charmer, summoning Eros to erupt in his body. He can hardly contain himself. He is forever changed.  

Damascena Tanis

Damascena is an Archetypal Astrologer, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, and The Facilitator of the Transformative Journey through the Mandala of Venus’ Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer”.

She is a passionate devotee of the ever unfolding mystery. As an expert observer, a trait she developed as an only child, she regards herself as both a student of life, and decoder of the cosmos.

Skilled at recognizing invisible patterns, and picking up on subtle shifts in the collective, she gets a thrill from uncovering and revealing the hidden threads that are woven together to create our paradigm.

Her passion for this existential detective work aligns well with her unique approach to one on one client work, as she helps others to discover the building blocks of their archetypal blueprint, and mythic overtones. She does not believe that astrology is static, and therefore works with clients to develop strategies and practices that allow them to transcend challenging aspects of their natal chart.

She lives on the Shores of Lake Erie with her husband, four kids, and Cat, Oscar (the grouch).

These days, when she isn’t interpreting a natal chart, or translating the stars for her astrology blog, you can find her engaging in one of her favorite pandemic pastimes, unraveling her inner “good girl”, cultivating the ability to thrive in the deep, dark, unknown, or playing her favorite game of identifying fun paradoxes called “two things are true at once”.
