“There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.”
-Sophia Loren
You are a fount of nurturing love, affection and robust sensuality. With the lover as your dominant archetype, you appreciate spontaneity, living in the moment, and rich, tactile experiences. Your secondary archetype, the mother, makes you warm, affectionate, and down-to-earth. You satisfy two powerful, primal male instincts; to procreate, and to receive physical and emotional nourishment.
In your presence, a man feels aroused, relaxed, and slightly coddled. You relish in the pleasure of taking care of others. You are a giving lover, and sexuality for you is very much a give-and-take. If you enjoy cooking, creating a meal for your man can be a tantalizing, erotic experience that he’ll pine for. It’s not just the food he enjoys, but the spirit in which it is prepared, presented, and enjoyed. Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has been nicknamed the “Goddess of Pleasure”–her approach to cooking often described as border-line erotic.
There is nothing self-conscious or uptight about you. Your robust vitality penetrates those around you. Your warm, open energy encourages others to relax and be themselves. You can let your hair down, break into laughter, or fall into your lovers arms at a moments notice. When you live up to your seductive potential, admirers will find you positively intoxicating.

I had a dream a few weeks ago in which these two words “Sensualist” and “Botanist” were given to me on a piece of paper. Knowing what the latter meant but having only a basic idea about the first, I’ve been scouring the internet for some explanation of what these words mean as they relate to my higher, deeper purpose in life. Reading your explanation of the Sensualist literally made me cry – it resonates so deeply with me and I don’t feel as isolated in my experience with life. Every single word you wrote is so me, it’s such a huge relief. Also, I have been in love with and attracted to Sophia Loren since forever, – the synchronicity of it all is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Lately I’ve been running up against some huge self doubt and melancholy in life and in business. It’s like I beat myself up for having lots of fun and enjoying life because I feel like I’m overindulging in pleasure, not disciplined enough, not taking things seriously..
I’m just so incredibly grateful to have run across you and this awesome website. I can’t wait for your workbook to come out – I know intuitively that whatever you have to say will be helpful to me on my journey. Thank you!
