I have sun in aquarius in the 12th. I came to Sphere & Sundry as a recommendation to remediate my weak sun. I have been using this tincture religiously every day for the past week since receiving it and the difference is so palpable. I feel more confident, I have found myself being nicer but firm at work, I feel less moody, and overall I feel more secured in my own skin. This product has been an amazing help and I cannot wait to try out the oil next! Thank you Kaitlin!

The last two years have been emotionally tough while dealing with our current political climate on top of death in the family the drama that happened afterwards. This is liquid Sunshine that can brighten any day even holidays with the family.
A side effect is you tend to have random strangers approach you just to connect and talk about some wildly interesting topics. If you are a fellow introvert do know you will have this happen if you wear this so be prepared.

I am going to call this spray my "amplifier". When I use this in conjunction with any other S+S materials, it adds such a bright, quick boost. In fact, couple with ViT oil, I ended up meeting someone new within the hour and ended up on a date that night which happened to be one of the funnest dates I've been on in months! When my mood and life were feeling some heavy transits last week due to Mars hitting my 1st house Scorpio stellium, adding a little Sol to ViT and 'Thy Vigorous Force Inspires created a lovely lifting from all the heaviness. Once again, S+S has created magic in a bottle.

I cannot speak positively enough about this perfume. The smell is beautiful and for me, it melds into other pleasant smells. I felt Jupiter's Bounty on first application, but more so as I continued using it. I have Jupiter in Virgo and I have felt my spirit lifting. I feel more optimistic, more enthusiastic, more hopeful about humanity. I also feel like my horizons have broadened, I'm more intuitive and it has even helped me think more abstractly. I even have more insight on some difficulties I've faced that I didn't have before and what they mean in the broad scope of things.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this materia but it's amazing. I feel like I've changed. I feel so appreciative for everything I have and I have felt the overwhelming desire to share it with others. I gave my sister a small vial of this perfume and I have lent my partner some as well. Both of them have reported positive results to me - similar to what I've already said here. If I could share these feelings with everyone, I would.

I would note to users that Jupiter's Bounty did cause me to feel very emotionally overwhelmed for a few weeks. It wasn't bad most of the time but I was exceptionally sensitive and I figure that it should be noted.

I am deeply grateful for the magic of Venus in Taurus Oil as I am remediating a Venus in Aries in the 12th House. Physically, it makes me less rigid and often it looks like I'm at my ovulating phase when I use ViT. Mentally, it imprints an "I deserve" mantra in the background chatter that is usually full of self-negation. So, this oil has been truly priceless in moving the needle towards more self-love and self-worth. It does slow me down too in a good way. Naps between chores and just slowing down in general. Also, I sort of have a fiery/swordy chart and I do feel ViT helps round out the edges from me to me, and from me to others. It sort of mitigates the effects of burnout with cooling and softening rose and butter. Compared to Venus in Libra, it's more embodied and languorous and ViL more chatty and social. I'm using it as an all over body oil and hand oil after adding it to a large bottle of organic apricot seed oil. Looking at it is truly divine.

RP is a very steadying blend. When you feel unsure about yourself or your own judgment, RP is like a deep calming centering exercise. It's the transition moment between yourself as an individual, and yourself as an authority figure. Your spine straightens, you hold your head higher, your voice is steady and calm. For days with high stress, RP helps you keep your cool.

PS from my recent review:
It should be noted that Saturn has been squaring my Moon basically all of 2019. So, engaging with Sol in Leo feels more "remedial" (not sure if that's the proper way to use that word) than purely "bathing in sunshine" like some of the other reviews.

For example, at my performance that I mentioned, I didn't feel like the Star Of The Show as much as I have in the past. But the fact that I was back on stage taking real risks, instead of being stuck in a Saturnian rut, is enough for me at this point. It just feels nice to have support keeping hold of that warm glow inside. I saw Austin Coppock mention on Facebook that Sol can help with a "troublesome Saturn" - I agree based on this one experience!

I love this oil and may need to re-stock... I feel that it has really been a balm for social anxiety, which I’ve wrestled with more much of my life. I anoint myself with it on my perfume points as recommended, as well as my heart, usually while reciting the Orphic hymn to Venus (lengthy but worth it! I say it 7 times when I really need a boost) I feel more comfortable and self-confident when I wear it... it makes me feel like I’m worth it. The Venus in Libra energy is like a lovely, chatty friend who when you’re around her makes sure you feel included in what’s going on around you.

I have used this in several situations where I needed to both keep a cool head for all involved and reach mutually agreeable outcomes I felt satisfied with. The scent is strong if over-applied, but use of the oil is reassuring, strengthening, and calming.

I apply it on Saturdays and occasionally for work. The oil aids in facilitating a sense of "I've got this and am working to cultivate peace within my life and relationships."

I've been incorporating the Exalted Venus oil during Friday rituals for about the past 2 months. Since then I've established a regular Friday lunch with friends leading to deeper friendships with these women. It's also inspired me to stick with a simple beauty regimen that has boosted my self esteem and self acceptance. With a natal Venus in Virgo placement, I have a tendency to require perfection in just about everything. Exalted Venus smooths that out. So, when I do work after anointing myself with the oil, I can easily get through the paralysis of that desire for perfection. This offering has had a huge and undeniable positive effect on my life. I am so grateful for this.

I had a very urgent issue when I sought magical materia to help secure my house. I live in a resort area in Mexico where there is a great deal of construction, construction workers who basically live in the empty shell of buildings until construction is completed. It is known that when these out of town workers are around, there is greater than normal break ins and thefts. Someone indeed came in and took something very precious from me and unable to be replaced. A gift I valued for 20 years.

I purchased the oil and incense of this series to help create a strong boundary of security around the house and me. With the arrival of the materia, an iron construction of my own was completed to create a mundane worldly deterrent for further break ins.

I also created talismans of protection that I activated with the oil and placed in the burning smoke of the incense and placed the talisman, hanging, at the point of entry where the thief entered. In fact I placed two on both second and third level terraces.
Immediately, a shift occurred. Not only in the feeling of the house and my ability to sleep with both eyes closed to gain refreshing sleep, but also in the manner of behavior from both neighbors and working crews only feet from my front door.
The engineer in charge of the project has since cleaned up the concrete mess they flung onto the ceramic tiles on both floors. The construction workers, who make the international and unsolicited gawk of any woman, heretofore, no longer gawk, in fact they avoid looking in my direction at all, or my house. They have been put squarely in their place, thanks to the materia magica and talismans that have been infused and activated with these powerful essences.

Probably helps that the talisman is a dehydrated, painted, sung to, dressed and painted nails, wrapped and hung with silk, feathers, bells, uñas de gatos, and conch shells with a bit of moss. Yes, they know now, they have made one angry witch scratch back. Now, I have peace again. And my girlfriend who owns a couple of stores here is interested in having the talismans for sale in her shops.

Algeb Denebi has guided me out of my rage and into a cottage business product. Offering astro consults here in Mexico with the option to take home a beautiful talisman for security and protection.

Algeb Denebi, a star found in Capricorn, brought me both the security I needed physically and an idea for business. Perfect.

Cheers.

What a beautiful and powerful oil! I love the Venus in Libra hydrosol for social situations, and have been using the Venus in Pisces hair and body oil to chill out at night or relax before I watch a movie/listen to music. I feel like this oil is a whole other experience. I used it last night for the first time after taking a shower and I fell asleep SO FAST. I normally am an information fiend after work as a a way to "relax" (hello venus in virgo), but I was conked out by 8pm AND had fun flirty dreams about a couple of my celebrity crushes. I'm really excited to continue working with it!

This one is by far one of my favorites energetically because it amplifies my connection with Jupiter in my ongoing dedications to Jupiter as well as my connection with the his transit through Sagittarius. All my endeavors seemed to glow whenever I worked with Jupiter and even more so with this incense. It also made my living space feel a lot more uplifting, so I usually let the smoke float throughout the house when I did my propitiations. It created the space for me to grow into, with joy and warmth, instead of my default with natal Jupiter in Capricorn. It's nice being able to tap into that contrast in order to do workings for myself and for my loved ones.

Venus in Taurus felt more like self love for me. It was a lot subtler than a lot of other S+S materia, probably because it's in Taurus, an Earth based sign, but that is the point. It really had me sit down in order to "listen" and see its energy flow toward my heart center. Once I settled and let her do her thing, she provided a feeling of stability, opposite my natal Venus in Scorpio (ViS). Not what I'm used to, but an ideal I could strive for. ViS can be a little paranoid projecting monsters where there might not be, sitting with the calm was a nice change of pace. Thanks, Kaitlin!

I highly recommend VinT oil for shopping. After receiving it in July, I used it occasionally and noticed the following. Every time I wear it while shopping, I unexpectedly find beautiful and unique items for absolutely affordable prices. One time, I found a jersey knit comforter set that I had been looking for everywhere for months (finally!), in the size and color I needed, in style I adored and for the price I couldn't resist 🙂 I even bought 2 sets, for myself and for my daughter who absolutely loved it. The other times, it was a canvas wall art painting (my family cannot get enough of it!), or clothing for special occasion that I couldn't have found for weeks, or an out-of-stock item from my wish list back in stock at a discounted price. Will definitely wear VinT oil while holiday shopping this month!

So I have been using this every day for just over a week I think. Have been spritzing it on pillows and self early in the day.

Yesterday I brought it to a performance I had (performing in drag as the Prime Minster of Canada, someone who has an eyeroll-inducing Royal vibe a lot of the time). I didn't spray it on anyone else, just myself in secret, but I felt like I wasn't the only one shining. In the dressing room there were a few people staying in character, and one woman was HILARIOUS, I had a hard time concentrating on being serious. My performance also went well, and hanging out with everyone after was a blast.

As someone with an individualistic Aries moon, sometimes being in a live-in partnership can be intense. I have loved my experiences with Venus oil, but it was refreshing to have something self-centering as well.

I find this product very calming to use in the shower. If I am in a stressed mood or tired, using this scrub takes the tension out of my shoulders and neck. Much preferred to regular soap, which I have used in the same shower for comparison.

The product is great for exfoliating any body part that needs it. I'm not that well-versed in using sugar scrubs for the body, but now wish I had used more earlier in life because they are pleasurable to use.

Other observations:

The loose sugar mixture of this scrub comes in a tin and I found the sugar could get caked in the grooves of the lid after a few uses. That caused the lid to get stuck when not in use until I ran it under hot water. After that, I kept the lid unscrewed and resting lightly on the open jar when not using the product. This seemed easiest since I don't have a lot of strength in my grip.

Otherwise, this is a lovely tool for pampering yourself. I reccomend it.

Magically speaking, I always notice a relaxing effect and the effects I associate with Exalted Venus in general. This can add to a feeling of being open to playfulness, sleep, and light leisure activities.

There have been quite a number of serious and sometimes life-threatening health/injury issues in my family over the last couple of years. Last year I had to get a skin cancer cut out of my face that turned out to be 3 times larger than the doctor was expecting. Subsequent skin checks turned up a number of other spots of concern that needed to be monitored—I'm very pale, live in the skin cancer capital of the world and have a family history, so this was a major worry for me.

The Forged Rod of Asclepius was my second S+S purchase, and I got the beautiful standard talisman 3 months ago—along with the oil and water. This year, I haven't gotten sick once—I've had a couple of days where I felt very tired but I've been able to fight off what I know would have otherwise been a terrible cold in a matter of hours.

I went for my checkup today and every single one of the spots of concern for potential skin cancer had disappeared. Completely. My doctor had to check that he had the right paperwork, he was so puzzled. My cholesterol and blood pressure are also significantly better. I feel more generally healthy than I have in years and I've been inspired to make some very positive healthy changes to my lifestyle—my sugar addiction is broken. I've also had some pretty fantastic recovery effects for other people when using the talismans to petition Asclepius on their behalf. The power of this talisman and the other Asclepius II products is incredible.

Some interesting side effects I've noticed are an increased need to sleep when I'm dealing with an illness or injury—the magic sometimes has a "shut up, lie down and let me deal with it" feel that is impossible to resist or postpone. I also tend to wash my hands a lot more than is strictly necessary now, though it has a kind of devotional feel to it, rather than a germophobe one so I'm ok with that.

Great Asclepius and Beauteous Hygeia now have regular devotions from me and my eternal thanks go to Kaitlin, Tony and Cody for making these amazing creations available.

I don't go in for superficial glamour, but Venus in Taurus helps me feel and see myself in new empowering ways. Behold the beloved in the mirror. Simply adore.

When opening this perfume, I was blown away and a little intimidated - it is *powerful*. I daubed it on before work the next day, while focusing on the tasks I needed to accomplish at work, and did it ever pull through for me. I felt driven, filled with an intense need to finish the tasks I had been dreading doing and more beyond that. Couldn't sit down, couldn't do anything until I'd done those tasks. And it worked: I got those tasks done (after dragging my feet on them for ages), and did a whole bunch more. If you need determination and drive, I definitely recommend this.

(Going to buy another, and some for friends who need an occasional boost to their drives. Also worth noting: I bought this in the trio package.)

I've been using BPAL and TAL oils for almost a decade now, so I'm very familiar with the high caliber of Beth Barrial's art. I have to say, her collaborations with S+S have been especially exquisite and TBH Golden Sovereign is a masterpiece.

I'm a mother of two teen boys, and I also work at a high school. This oil is one that I find myself reaching for almost daily. It smells amazing, but beyond that I find myself interacting with the kids - my own two included - in a much more patient and kind manner. Applying it to my heart center makes me feel instantly calmer, more grounded, and yet somehow elevated. It comforts me. It expands me.

Golden Sovereign is a blessing. I love it so, so much. Thank you, Beth, and thank you Kaitlin!

I am going through a difficult time. My mentor had died last month, and while still in deep mourning, I cannot fully process my grief because I have to spend a lot of mental effort each day to follow a computer programming / statistics course which I find very demanding. To top it all off, my mentor's colleagues and students have now began bickering, each trying to prove how important they were to him. Archangel Michael Oil has done three wonderful things for me in this situation: It helped me stay on course with my studies, it helped me remain mentally strong, and also somehow miraculously stopped the bickering of my mentor's co-workers. When they all were on Facebook the other day trying to passively aggressively overshadow and outdo each other, I dabbed a little Archangel Michael Oil on my computer screen, making sure it covered the messages they wrote. Online arguing stopped immediately. It was as if the entire thread froze: people stopped adding new comments or reacting to new ones, stopped giving each other likes or dislikes. It remains so ever since. Amazing stuff.

This is such an interesting series. The first time I held the oil in my hand, I got a distinct vision of a 19th century German merchant family -- their house with heavy burgundy draperies, wood-paneled walls, silverware. Very respectable, very traditional, very well-off, very stable. If you read Thomas Mann's "The Buddenbrocks" you'd know the vibe I'm talking about. The next thing I know an e-mail drops in my inbox from a childhood friend who is a priest and who I haven't had any contact with in ages, and he writes to me this boastful e-mail telling me he'd recently been invited to speak at a dinner held by the head of state of the country where he lives. (A very powerful country with global influence, I just don't want to mention it here). I don't reply because I don't really like this world leader, nor do I trust the priest any more. Next thing I know I get a phone call from an agency which tells me my social security number had been stolen and someone is using it for work. I panic, run to my local police precinct, file a report, alert my bank, alert all the credit agencies, alert my accountant, my tax office, spend the entire day running around, then finally visit my local social security office to ask them to start their own investigation (as my local police had recommended), and they double-check the details and it turns out there's been a mistake -- no one else is using my SSN but me. So the long story short: Do not use during Mercury retrograde. If anything else interesting happens, I'll write again.
