If you actively engage with sex magic, then you may want to regularly read for that aspect of yourself as a part of that practice.

If it is not something you regularly engage in but you are sexually empathic, you may want to do a sex magic reading to see what invisible energies your sex/self-pleasure life is trying to tell you.

As a little inspiration and guidance, here are some examples of how to use the readings for sex magic specifically:

You can ask about:

  • Masturbation
  • Embodiment
  • Orgasms
  • Sexual Health
  • Sexual Partners
  • Pleasure
  • Occult Wisdom
  • Sex Rituals

Some direct questions include:

  • What can I do in my life to feel more pleasure?
  • What is my current sex life doing to my magic energy?
  • How can I use my sexual energy to benefit my life?
  • Is there something the universe would have me know about my sex magic/self-pleasure practice/sexual partners/etc.

Now let’s talk about the suits!

⭐Pentacles

Element: Earth

The Body

What does it mean to you to be present, embodied, in pleasure, or in love?

When we are looking at sex magic in the tarot, the pentacles are usually speaking to us about our bodies. Depending on the card itself, you may see the card pointing to your own perception of your body or how others see it.

This can extend to things like body dysmorphia, embodiment, dance, physical activity, or other things that affect our sex life.

In Relationships

If you are coming to the cards about a specific sexual relationship, pentacles are referring to a relationship that takes place in the home or feels safe.

🍷Cups

Element: Water

The Emotions

How do you feel about eroticism, sexuality, and love- Both solo and with others?

Sexuality can sometimes feel detached or separate from our emotions, but not when we see the cups in our spread. These cards speak to how you feel about the themes of sex. As you interpret the cards you may see how your emotions play a role in your practice.

This can be anything from how you feel about self-pleasure to what emotions come up in connection with sexual partners.

In Relationships

Cups are romantic! If you see a specific sexual relationship in your reading, the cups are speaking to the emotional qualities, consequences, and connections therein.

🧨Wands

Element: Fire

The Drive

How much sex, love, affection, and magic do you need to feel alive?

Wants are penetrative and passionate. They describe a much more primal and energetic kind of sexuality than the other suits. When wands come up around sex magic they are talking about horniness, desire, attraction, and libido. It ties the sexual energy within us to our creative output.

This may manifest as feeling a desire for more sex or masturbation. Depending on the cards, you could find an invitation to reign it in.

In Relationships

The fire of the wands represents passion but also represents will. If you are tapping into the sexual nature of a particular relationship, wands are representative of the raw passion present in the dynamic.

⚔️Swords

Element: Air

The Mind

What do you think eroticism, sexuality, and love really mean?

We know swords are how we speak, think, and learn. Because of this, sex magic readings bring us swords to remind us of what happens in the mind when we are engaging in sex magic. What thoughts or memories get brought up? Do we attempt to escape or hide from them?

Depending on the cards, the swords can reveal trauma lurking in the mind. They can also invite us to look into what we are running from or what we should run from in magic.

In Relationships:

Think, think, and think again. The swords tell us what we are being reminded of in certain sexual encounters or what we can learn from them.
