I had some apprehension about this oil. Dour old Saturn, cramping my style. Making a scratchy-quilled list and checking it thrice. But respect too, with a growing sense of the double-act he pulls with Jupiter. Mostly though, fear of Saturn being a grouch because though I'm astro-naive am aware there's a lot of that going on in my chart. Apprehension then, of being hauled before the boss. Only - none of that.

Instead, I'm drawn to ye olde time music of Talking Heads. And a track from their final album Naked. The video for Nothing But Flowers brings to life the feel of this remarkable oil: weighty matters assessed with a view to better times a-coming. Greys and blacks worn by dour-looking performers, grim data onscreen, and the jaunty Aquarian music they're playing. S-in-A for me has been a tender guide through a time of renewal, more kind with me than I've often been with myself and at times others. Sure, Asclepius has been part of all this, and more too. But the delightful surprise has been the supportive nature of this unexpectedly delightful oil. And that old-time video? Not sure I can link to it, but you'll find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2twY8YQYDBE

Exalted Luna has been such a deeply sweet materia. My Leo Moon purrs when I put it on. I find it an excellent support with releasing the need to effort and get things done (it’s been a great balancing agent to Mars x Jupiter Water, Golden Gator, and Badger.) It’s an absolute joy to pair it with Asclepius - it has absolutely changed my relationship to my chronic pain. I can rest easy, knowing I am supported and cared for. I’d highly recommend it if you are mending your relationship to self, rest, pleasure, and slowing down in a way that feels safe to the nervous system. Exalted Luna is my forever love.

In a TCM, I’ve been struggling with yin deficiency and so after an acupuncture session, I like to apply Exalted Luna to the points that need support. (Namely KD1, this Salve feels amazing on your feet).

Did I mention it smells incredible? I find it intoxicating.

Really an effective for: doing the damn thing, clearing up harmful thought-patterns (especially overwhelm) and tapping into your own resilience + competency. I found that it brought my Capricorn placements into balance and effort instead of collapsing under the pressure and weight of my own ambitions + expectations! This is a great materia for those who need to get out of their own way.

I found Mars-Jupiter Water to be supportive during the recent Mars Retrograde in Cancer for mobilizing my energy after feeling so completely depleted. It can be agitating if taken too closely to bed time and the energy hasn’t been exerted - I found it was best to use it to help prime physical activity. I love the scent - it’s spicy and gives you a little kick out of your chair.

I have a knee that aches a bit by the end of the day. I used the bath salts on it in the shower (I don’t have a bathtub in my current rental so I use the bath salts by rubbing them all over myself in the shower.) I put the intention of healing, silence and energy cleansing and said a few-words of prayer to Asclepius and forgot about it. I just realized that it’s the end of the day and my ache is gone! I’m very pleased with the results. Thank you Asclepius!

I'd already used the salve of EL to relax, mostly, the candle, and the EL tincture, mostly to mix with other tinctures, but my experience with the oil has been very different. I've also been starfishing lol, and it feels very very powerful. It has allowed me to perceive other's emotions and states, not in an uncomfortable way, I do have quite good energetic boundaries, but it allows me to see them. I've also dreamed about my mother in a very pleasant manner every night I've worn it (I do have a good relationship with her, I just don't often dream about her). Being able to recall my dreams every night is also different.

I'm kind of a loner, and this is helping me build better connections with people.

It smells like honey to me, even though I don't see it in the ingredient list.

Before it arrived I incidentally came into contact with two very interesting books that related to lunar subjects, kinda prepping the way, I think, for the deeper intuition I seem to be developing with the help of this oil. I got a couple of Fomy bpals for this purpose, but I seem to be getting better results with this and really quickly.

Taurus in my 8th house so I initially thought I would be skipping this series (I also had very powerful results with the Venus in Taurus series) but I'm very glad I didn't.

As always, 5/5.

This being a Saturn oil, I waited to ensure that Saturn was in dignity on May 3, 2025, during Saturn’s hour. The cool-headed, mature approach of Saturn is coming through well, something I was indeed hoping to upgrade to (from my natal peregrine Saturn). It ‘played nice’ with the Enochian Saturnian king & Prince I evoked, and I’m happy to report that, after careful injoining the angels against negative effects, I’m doing better and calmer physically and mentally. There’s stuff to do, I can do it, and I will do it to make my life better, happier, and less bad. Which is a lot, seeing as I already have a lot to manage, but I think the ‘inner steel’ of this election is coming through nicely.

I’ve used this oil three distinct times with intention vs passive use and in each instance (twice for my own ailments and once for a family member) I’ve found that it doesn’t immediately alleviate the pain/illness - it seems like it needs to run its course thoroughly - but the healing process is incredibly fast. Like, complete recovery as if nothing ever happened, no lingering side effects type of fast. Surprising to medical professionals type of fast. So, so thankful.

I am working on launching a new business and this has been a huge boost to the confidence I need to do so. However, it tastes quite bitter so if that's a problem you might just want to do honey jars and such with it.

I’ve been dying to write a review just so I can rave about how pungent and dank this smell smells, yet eye opening and clarifying. Masculine, smart sophisticated, but knows how to work hard and reshape the earth with his bare hands. I love the licorice notes. This kolonia means business…puts the stankonya! Perspiration meets inspiration.

The magic is on point as I noticed skin tingling, but the scent almost immediately dissipated when it hit the water. I was hoping for similar aromatherapy as the oils. A wonderful addition if you’re adding to other bath products that are more heavily scented.

Doesn’t come on too strong, but rolls out fast! Difficult to use sparingly but why would you want to be skimpy with something this wonderful? Love to slather and reapply often

Very youthful and comes off like cotton candy. I love the way the smells in the bottle, but it wears down a little too syrupy with my body chemistry. I love the crisp brightness overtone for warm weather, but the dry down is heavy. It actually reminds me a of a Cartier fragrance I used to love, had a hint of fennel and apple… so I’m looking forward to making a custom body oil with this which I find a complementary scent that tones it down the way I want.

Mature, respectable, and enjgmatic. Flirty yet sophisticated and attracts the right kind of attention. Versatile for day and night. It wasn’t my favorite at first, but overtime I come to find it works very well with my body chemistry. I wear this when I need to be likable, but not a pushover.

Big fan of this series, but I purchased this perfume specifically to pair with Saturn and Aquarius oil. They are a fitting pair! The scent profile is soft floral and cooling and paired with the oil grounds the scent. Reinforces boundaries without outright repelling… admire for afar and catch my breeze as I walk away…look but don’t touch 😉

Uplifting and clarifying, energizing and focusing, but soothing. this compliments, my natal chart very well. Excellent for an overactive nervous system that still needs to be focused. Not the best for pain relief in it own right, but grateful for neck and back massage to help ease mental agitation that exasperates pain. It takes hypersensitivity down a notch without being sedative.

Perfect for every ritual and protocol. I used it to temper malefics and the aid healing. Great for energy work and moving qi. I remember my last purchase being a little bit more potent, but I prefer the lightness of this batch a compliment vs standing alone.

Purchased to cool off during Mars in Leo with Saturn moving into AQ. It will help with appetite suppression and will remind you of the back ache, which reminds me to be mindful. Excellent for good posture during meditation.

I bought the Azure Dragon as later of the Antares mini bottle set to mitigate a poor Mars Rx in Libra. I keep going back to this one again and again; putting it on helps me shrug off my long term fatigue and makes me feel great!

I bought a house within the past year, and I've been feeling vaguely unsettled in it. We're in a moderately sized city on a busy road. There's a liquor store a few blocks down that people often walk past our house to and from, and I've had at least one somewhat frightening encounter where a belligerent man banged on my door and insisted that he slipped and fell on our sidewalk and that we would have to pay him. Other encounters with folks walking by have been less bothersome but still gave a vague sense of unease. Our neighbor has been recently just letting their dog run around in our partially fenced backyard without asking. To top things off, I was planning our first party in the house and wanted to ensure that those whose impact on my life was negative would be made obvious and barred from entering.

I used the full 1/2 oz on the property line, feeling compelled to draw a very strong, literal line around the home. Additionally, I paired it with a spritz of the Waters of Thema Mundi on my person to act as a protective barrier against the more potentially corrosive side effects, which I think is why the experience of casting with the salts was so pleasant. But the effects were immediate and impressive. My overall sense of well-being increased instantly upon completion of the spell. I have barely noticed the road noise since then, and despite the weather continually getting nicer, not a soul has knocked on our door, bothered us when we've been out in the yard, and even the amount of litter we've been getting in the yard has basically dropped to zero overnight.

A day or two after the spell, I finally caught the neighbor letting their dog run around in our yard. I had decided from the first day I found out that it's not that I minded, but I wanted to be asked and have it acknowledged that their use of the yard is contingent on some boundaries. Prior to drawing the Wall, I had either missed them doing it and heard about it later from my husband, or have seen them on days where I was tied up (in a Zoom meeting or phone call, watching them from my office). I introduced myself, let them know it's fine to let their dog run around the yard, but politely asked them to be mindful of picking up poop or toys. They were very respectful about it and in the weeks since that encounter, we've had zero issues. I even met the other neighbor a week later, after they had started to let their dog run around back there too, and was able to have the same conversation with them - firm, but warm 🙂

Finally, I have been waiting for the party to pass my final judgment of these ritual salts and post this review. Absolutely delighted, and borderline flabbergasted. My small hometown from which I invited several guests is very, very interconnected and there are a lot of social expectations re: who you invite. This is a gross oversimplification of the nuances of the situation, but it'll do. Additionally, I have a sibling that I have been vaguely estranged from for about a decade that I decided to invite as we have both spent a great deal of time in therapy and self reflection for that period of time. I was incredibly anxious about this, but I knew I wanted them to come to the party - but not overstay their welcome.

The guest list initially included 28 people, knowing full well that a few invites were just to be polite as those individuals would have to travel too far, or were simply not people who attended parties. A few were to family members that I felt obligated to invite. And others were partners of friends that, quite frankly, I can't stand. These "no"s came almost right away. Excellent. The next batch of "no"s trickled in the next week: a friend I'm ambivalent about being revealed to be perceived as someone who would do me harm by the Wall, it seems, and a few friends I can see now I've overextended myself to try and accommodate, only to receive little in return.

The final two "no"s were only revealed to me on the day of the party, yet I knew in my heart before the day ever came that they would never set foot on my property. The cherry on top is that my sibling was only in my house for maybe 30 minutes before they decided they were going to head out. We had socialized earlier that day at an event at a different location, and this moment of, yes, this is my home, very nice, alright then, till next time, was exactly what I had envisioned prior to it happening.

When they left, I could feel the same distinct zing of energy that coursed through me while casting the protection spell with these salts. Intoxicating. The guest list was 100% what I envisioned and we had a truly spectacular night. Austin and Kate did a fantastic job with this component and I'm deeply grateful to have found materia that is so potent and precise. I would highly recommend these salts to anyone wanting to ensure the safety and sanctity of their space.

scarcity mindset, be gone! i notice i am hesitant to apply this/work with this often but that gave me a clue as to what's going on here...and why it's so helpful. most noteworthy is it's softening my relationship with finances and making me less anxious about money. like eliminating 4 of pentacles mindset which i desperately need support with. eager to see how it materially manifests. so far i think it's helping me save more than i normally do and just being more strategic with income. like the first week after it's arrival i woke up suddenly thinking about opening a HYS account haha

old soul, waiting my turn
i know a few things but i still got a lot to learn
so i'm alright with a slow burn

^ this part of slow burn kept popping into my head when i started engaging with torch of first light. it's only been a few applications but i do think it's helping me look at parts of myself or cognitive pathways that usually make me wince or get that sinking feeling and instead of avoiding, i'm getting curious. introspective about the layers that i try to keep in the shadows, consciously or not. makes the shadows appear less menacing so i'm not as scared to follow them and see where they take me. a very patient and almost gentle re-parenting energy (mind you, my chart is very aries and capricorn heavy). this is a torch that lights the path home that i didn't know existed and i'm grateful <3

... I do believe. Soothes on the spot. And, shortly after receiving and starting to use this 1-2 times daily for various aches and pains, I started going to PT for this rotator cuff injury, and I'm feeling some real progress now. Both of these things are now part of my near daily routine.

... in small ways right away, and longer-term ways following soon after! Right after first using it, little things like getting a letter about a check I hadn't cashed and offering to resend it and there was another little thing too which I don't remember right now (but I'd made a mental note!. And not long after I got a nice raise at work and got a bonus even though the company I work for lost money a second year in a row... This little bottle has definitely paid for itself many times over already!

This is not my first Exalted Venus materia, but it's my first Venusian soap. I love the smell. It reminds me of mulled wine--not that I'm over here drinking tons of wine, but that's the vibe I get. I think the smell contributes to the idea that the soap makes me feel fancy and warm during and after use. I also like that it has glitter, which adds to the experience. I find that I usually have a good day after using this soap in the morning or a good night sleep when I use it at night. It also invited in some more *affectionate* encounters than usual, so that's a perk if you're looking for something that brings out other people's love/awe for you. Will definitely be ordering more in the future.
