Have been taking just 1 drop in the mornings, and it feels like a nicely stoked set of low burning embers, generating lots of heat with very little visible flame. I struggle to boost martial energy without tipping over into personal conflict (natal Mars on the descendant). So far this is a really good work around. Looking forward to developing a more involved practice over time.

I LOVE tinctures for the way that they help us integrate the particular sphere's gifts into our lives and routines. This tincture is regal and powerful, and certainly helps with getting things accomplished. But more than that, it helps you determine how you can best go about doing that. This series and this star do not drive you into the ground or cause burnout, instead it shows you how to prevent it. I had the experience (and so have my friends) of engaging with this tincture for the first time and almost immediately falling asleep. It felt like a reminder that no work can get done and no odds can be overcome without the proper rest. I have often struggled with this star that I have prominently in my chart, but it is through the engagement with this tincture that I have learned to respect Antares's gifts and how to best use those gifts to provide more successful outcomes rather than finding myself falling into Their trap.

this stuff has surfaced anger issues for me with much more gentleness than Mars in Scorpio offerings and has seriously aided in transitioning towards a much kinder internal monologue. the Inner Adversary is present but not overpowering, allowing the kind of detachment and compassionate observation that results in genuinely changed habits, from the heart. I love it! just a drop goes a long way.

I really enjoy this tincture. I feel empowered, but connected to my emotions. It supported me with having a conversation that needed to be had.

If you have any interest in becoming the best self-made version of yourself, this series is for you. But I have found that I have to *only* use it when I’m not planning on being around people for at least the whole day, because it brings up conflict really easily for me. Maybe that’s also bringing to my attention what I need to work on (facing conflict), since I have Mars in the 12th.
Incredible for meditation and alchemizing your suffering into gold.

I love this series, but I can't sleep with Antares! I have an extra 4 hours of my energy past my bedtime. Someone mentioned "executive function" and was right-on. In a sleepy, Pacific Northwest town, you just want to lay on the couch all day. One drop (with Saturn's Goat series) and I made that phone call I've been putting off for a month–within seconds of taking it–without coffee! I've been trying to come down with Butter Ocean tincture but Antares need to be "burned out" not "subdued." Probably need to include a workout session to come down. I'm still trying to figure out this energy. But I love it.

After using this tincture on occasion (as needed) for a while, I feel confident in saying it's useful to have on hand for those times when I need a push to "get it done" before doing something I perceive as challenging. Taking a few drops can function similarly to instilling a shot of courage and/or drive depending on the situation at hand.

Love this tincture for getting stuff down. Really helps when I'm feeling sluggish. Lights a fire in all the right ways

I actually love the feeling I get from this. I feel energized and 'marshal' in alot of ways. Its been excellent for doing those random chores around the house or working outside and getting that motivation, but its not motivation, more so just the feeling that you need to get something done.

I have taken it for work as well. I have noticed I am incredibly irritable in my job.

I use this tincture on days when I need an extra dose of internal motivation and energy to tackle important work tasks. It is good for getting me to do what I need to do when I've been procrastinating on something important or when I'm under time constraints during my present work training. As well, using this tincture tends to keep me on track toward getting something important done when taken with EM materia. This is a must-have if you work in a high-stakes environment and have found Antares materia to support your executive function, especially your focus.
