ASTRODISIA: ASTROLOGY + APHRODISIACS

Join us at Moxy Williamsburg on Sunday, January 17th, 2027, from 12–5pm for an immersive afternoon exploring astrology + botanical aphrodisiacs through the lens of love, sexuality, desire, attraction, intimacy, relationships and self-discovery.

Explore how to:

• Understand your astrological birth chart as a tool for self-discovery, exploring patterns in love, attraction, intimacy and relationships
• Explore Venus, Mars and other planetary influences traditionally associated with love, desire, pleasure and connection
• Discover your personal relationship patterns, including how you express affection, experience attraction and navigate emotional intimacy
• Understand the history and traditions of botanical aphrodisiacs across different cultures
• Explore herbs, flowers and plants traditionally associated with love, sensuality, vitality and pleasure
• Learn how botanical preparations, scent and sensory rituals can help create moments of presence, relaxation and connection
• Explore the relationship between the senses, desire and emotional connection
• Create personal rituals around self-love, pleasure, intimacy, relationships and new beginnings
• Bring ancient wisdom into modern life in a way that feels practical, accessible and uniquely your own

For thousands of years, humans have looked to the stars and the natural world to better understand themselves, their relationships and the mysteries of attraction and desire.

Astrology offers a symbolic language for exploring personality, emotional needs, romantic patterns and the ways we connect with others. Herbal traditions have long explored the relationship between plants, the senses, pleasure and well-being.

ASTRODISIA brings these two worlds together, inviting us to question what we believe about love, attraction and intimacy—and discover new ways of understanding ourselves and our relationships.

The experience opens with Phillia and a shamanic limpia, an energetic cleansing ritual working with the elements of fire, air, water and sound to ground, clear and prepare for the afternoon.

From there, Lumi Pelinku guides us into astrology, exploring the birth chart as a tool for self-knowledge, with a special focus on love, desire, attraction, emotional needs and relationship patterns.

After a social lunch hour, Jess of Exalted Alchemy introduces us to the world of botanical aphrodisiacs and herbalism. We'll explore plants traditionally associated with love, sensuality and vitality, and how botanical wisdom can become part of everyday rituals for pleasure, self-care and connection.

We close with a guided shamanic journey, an opportunity to reflect on the day, reconnect with our desires and consider what we want to cultivate within ourselves and our relationships.

Ancient wisdom made practical for modern love + life.
