I bought this quite some time ago and never really knew when to work with it but I recently acquired an Aldeberan bpal and it's FIRE. Esp pairs with the Cap Decan materia.

I haven't used this powder as much recently, but when I have used it, the biggest effect I noticed was a drive and determination to Do The Thing, as well as a centering affect. The focus was on me, not in a selfish way, but in a "your energy is spread out to far, remember that you are the physical center of your existence" type of way.

I know this isn't listed as an anticipated side effect of application of this materia, but the times I have experimented with carrying Aldebaran in my purse I almost always manage to find something on sale. something something filling the coffers? also highly recommend pairing with Fomalhaut for thrifting endeavors -- find the stuff you like with the Fish's Eye and make sure it comes in a luxury version with Al.

I love this powder. I use it to dress candles offered to Aldebaran, I've found it to be super helpful in facilitating connection.

I actually entered the S+ universe after this series was almost completely sold out. I never reach for powders but knowing I have a prominent aldebaran placement—I chose to give it ago. And then I waited for almost an entire year to finally engage. I just wasn’t ready.

This series is seriously motivating. I can move forward on things I’ve been procrastinating on for ages!

This powder helps to bring more practical and grounded approach when it is missing. I like to sprinkle it in my socks to feel more grounded and sure-footed. Does not have as strong effect as water on me and can be use in background of daily maintenance.

I love using this to dress candles and empower spells. It feels like reinforcement for my solar plexus.

If the Aldebaran water was basically turns you into the Terminator in getting shit done, Aldebaran powder is softer and gentler expression of that. It has some serious "do not mess with me" vibes. I find it more supportive than the water, but still as empowering and energetic as the water. For me, it has a strong Jupiter connection, and because my Jupiter and Mars are conjoined, it definitely manifests in the "get it done". I feel my will to do things to be expanded. Aldebaran doesn't mind putting the work into it, and puts you in that mindframe.

I LOVE Aldebaran incense. It's a vital part of my grounding system I use when Vertigo hits and i start spinning out of control. It helps balance, ground, and support me, and I wouldn't dare be without it! I haven;t tried the oil yet but its next on my list!!

From the moment I ordered this powder it had a significant impact. I was experiencing a flare-up in my solar plexus connected to challenges with empowerment (exacerbated by the lunar eclipse in Cancer). Immediately upon placing my order I felt a strong energetic shift in that part of my body and a sense of the underlying trauma/weakness transforming. That night I had a dream in which I was shown various ways that I haven’t been using the agency available to me, thus keeping myself stuck and disempowered.

In the time leading up to delivery, I was already experiencing a significant shift in the alignment of my energies in the direction of what I want to create in the world - this all happened very naturally. In a few weeks I have made significant steps forward in both making clear plans and taking action.

The scent of the powder is subtle but gorgeous. The first time I sat with it and started to get acquainted, I felt more grounded and clearer in both body and mind. Afterwards I felt extremely sleepy, crashed out and my body went through a process of clearing some blocks in my neck and throat to do with ‘false ego’/inauthenticity. So far I have used it more internally - as a force for transformation and teaching - and the impact has exceeded my expectations. It has truly helped me. My sense is that this spirit is very beneficial for helping establish healthy ego, especially if you are equally willing to break down unhealthy ego, and to balance out tendencies to hold back out of insecurity or conditioning.

I will also be using it ritually to help with manifestation and I am certain it is going to be of great benefit there also.

Thank you, magnificent Aldebaran, and thank you Kaitlin for your incredible work!
