Anointing Oil of Antares
Pure Antares Anointing Oil, raw and uncensored (aside from the support the election provides).
This is probably the most unbridled, intense, and potentially volatile offering of the entire series, and is best approached carefully and with cautious consideration — especially for skin-based applications. Or by the astro-magical equivalent of Evel Knievels.
Great for magic befitting Antares’ arcana, before physical activities, competitions, and other appropriate times/ places.
Enables you to create your own personal subset with the addition of chosen ingredients!
Offered in the Client’s selection of 1/2 oz standard, 10 ml steel roller, or 5 ml mini.

Probably because I have Antares exactly on my ascendant, I did not slowly attune myself to this. I just immediately rubbed it on over my heart, right onto my skin. Maybe that was a bad idea? Worked for me.
It makes me feel fizzy and full of bubbles. It makes me want to DO THINGS. It feels powerful, and wonderful, and SO energetic.
Also, it smells like fancy gourmet red hots, which I count as a plus.
Be not afraid of this series, especially with a debilitated Mars. It could be what you need to get yourselves up and going. It has been wonderful for me in banishing my fears and fatigue and stimulating the desire to just get up and run. Praise onto crimson Antares, now and forever!
Be excited! I first tried the Badger series and loved how it boosted my energy. Now I have both. Will I be unstoppable? Probably.
Side effects are funny, so just brace yourself. It kind of reminds me of (what I think?) pre-workout is. My nose clears up, I have the urge to eliminate, and my legs feel hot and heavy like I need to run. I am NOT a physical person, I just really need help with my executive functioning, and this is an internal push that gets me going. So grateful for Antares series! It's crazy it's on sale.
I recommend trying the Antares subsets before this oil, as it's true that this has the potential to be more intense and possibly more uncontrolled. Personally I turned to this oil after having worn and enjoyed the other subsets and knew I was ready to make my relationship with Antares more personal. I had done a lot of work and I wanted to focus on my own internal blockages, fears, false narratives etc and overcoming them, and at the same time externally becoming the BEST at what I do. Be ready and prepared to turn the energy inward more than anything, and start slow/layer with DA or Asclepius. But let me tell you, you will be unstoppable - against your own shadow, against others, you will rise above the BS. Be intentional and this power will do wonders for you. I love Antares and am so grateful for this series, what a blessing.
Woke up in a Mars day with a big mental fog and huge lack of motivation- impulsively slathered some Antares oil on myself and felt it almost instantly burn away the fog. It's physically warming, not just on the spots you've anointed but I can feel my overall body temperature rising. I tempered it with some Froggy and a touch of Sol perfume, and I feel ready to take on the day without the jitteriness it usually gives me when worn alone, maybe I'll even work up a sweat with some exercise. Exactly what I need some days- energy, motivation!
I followed the recommendation of someone in the review section and applied it to parts of my body prior to working out in the gym. It works amazing for this! And I don’t find it has any negative side effects like agitation etc / just a lot of determination and fire.
I'm still feeling this one's impact out because it feels like it's doing *something* but I can't put my finger on it. I am starting to see its benefits in terms of shadow work, making progress, finding purpose, and moving things along. Lots of courage/encouragement while working with it as well.
Un buen artículo, muy discreto, util, me ayuda a relajarme al momento me meditar y hacer solicitudes.
Adrenaline boost! Rather use it only when you are alone 🙂
This oil is so powerful and invigorating! It provides you with the ability to power through work, tasks around the house, and errands with ease. There is this wind at your back that the oil provides in times of need, and certainly a helpful ally for those with executive dysfunction.
My chart is heavily geared towards empathy and energetic enmeshment with others and this series has been so refreshingly useful at just drawing that energy back into my being so I can Get. Things. Done. Interesting side not, it dramatically increased my tolerance for hot foods and changed my palette for the duration of use! Normally I’m into creamy, sweet things but this series prompted my first foray into collecting hot sauces! That palette preference I think effectively illustrates the constitutional shift that occurs with use of this materia which leans more hot and active and, in my case, as a contrast with my typical baseline constitution, it has felt balancing and tremendously helpful. Not an every day series by any stretch but when I do need it, it’s just the ticket.
I started working with this oil last spring. I've got a debilitated Mars but Antares in parans with my Sun and Moon, and I wanted to get to know the energy and how to work with it. This oil is *extremely* powerful. Shortly after beginning to use it, I became aware of the need to sever ties with a collaborator who has been profiting off my work without adding any value. While that was a difficult situation, working with this oil helped me figure out how to be assertive and, to the best of my ability, cleanly cut ties and protect my work. It's provided the fire I need to act rather than just stew. It's also really helpful for staying productive and focused throughout the day. I typically work with it weekly on Mars' day, though I have had periods of taking breaks to integrate the lessons and cool off. Overall, it's been a big reclamation of my power, assertiveness and voice.
Go lightly and give it a job….and wow.
I got back into sports after a very very long time away. I joined a volleyball and badminton league. Once i got over the reluctance of using such a powerful force, i annointed my runners and gave Antares a focused job: let me be steady, focused, strong, precise, quick and instinctive….holy smokes did it ever pull through. My partner then welcomed trying some, and he was on FIRE that night….his skills went to the next level. My ability to perceive, respond and fire back were magnified in a palpable way.
I've totally fallen in love with this offering even after some tricky experiences. Please know a little goes a longggg way. I practice a martial art and typically train almost exclusively with men. I've found when I use this oil before training I not only perform better, I also can check my feelings at the door--incredibly helpful when you are typically a very feelings first type of person. I put this on and just want to double leg bros. Highly recommend.
I've found the Antares series a lot more approachable than I expected, though obviously don't disregard the warnings that go with this series. I have Jupiter conjunct Antares, so my experience may have been more benefic than some. That being said, I love this series, and find it empowering and invigorating without any negative side effects to speak of (though I wouldn't use it when feeling fragile or worn down in any other sense than just being a bit tired - I have a sense that it would be too much at a comparatively vulnerable moment). I apply it directly to my skin (in a very small amount) before vigorous physical activity when I'm feeling too tired to really do it, and it always gives me the boost I need. I've also found it very therapeutic for Mars affliction. Kaitlin said that those who are most afraid of this series are probably those who most need it, and surprise, surprise, she was right! Its empowering effects seem to come from a productive channeling of Martial energies - giving Martial energy focus, precision, and efficacy. I've always struggled with integrating Mars and Venus energies in a productive way (how can you be Venusian and Martial at the same time?!), and this series has lent tremendous support in resolving those dissonances and kneading them into a more coherent sense of self. Do be careful, as he is spicy, but if you feel called, I would say to go for it (cautiously). I got a mini initially, but I'll definitely be getting a full-size when it runs low. (Also, it smells amazing - spicy and rich. If the glory of battle had a smell, this would be it!)
My sun is at 9 degrees Sag conjunct Mars and Antares. I own the set of oils. Like others I use the Dragon to charm when need be in situations where I might need to be a bit larger than how I really feel. (My Chinese astrological sign is the fire dragon.) The Badger for when I need to be a bit of a social maverick, which does not come naturally to me. Like the other person who reviewed this, I know it is strong but I have used it as the ultimate protection when my power is not so strong due to debilitating circumstances.
I do not annoint with other series when I use these to balance out the edges. Instead, and excuse my spelling, I gravitate toward Venus series items (across three series) and Deneb at other times when I have other intentions.
This series has allowed me to embrace who I am, and this particular oil is what I gravitate to when the situation seems nebulous but leaning toward challenging or when I can feel that I need to
power up, to be strong. I suppose if I had a slogan for it it would be “Mountain Pose” but the title came to me first, so it is Mountain, in the Eye of the Needle to me. Gratitude to S&S for life changing products.
This PACKS a PUNCH! Admittedly, I've only been using it for a little bit, but the energies felt strong enough to make a review already. I do a lot of working with spiritual entities, and have burned a smidge as an offering for them- they went nuts over it, very potent. One of them remarked it is just as intense of an energy as the description suggests (and then warned me not to overdo it since it's so strong lol).
I've also put a tiny dab directly on my skin (not necessarily something I'd recommend for most people, but it meshes well with my energy so it feels just fine to me), feels very "spicy". Even forgetting that it had fire energies, it just feels like it has fire energies. I ended up doing a decent chunk of work (both physical and metaphysical) that I've been putting off with its help.
I appreciate that only a tiny dab is needed to get excellent results, that's going to make this last a long time. Thank you for everything once again, Sphere + Sundry!
