I purchased the MiV body butter alongside the MiG body butter to contrast both. I have Merc in Sag with reception to Jup in Aqua. Not the most dignified Mercury so I hoped materia would mitigate for me.
I ended up liking the MiV body butter much more! It wasn’t energizing for me, but I did feel pulled into whatever task I set my intention for. I’d keep telling myself “just this last thing” and then find another thing to do! The tunneling effect is real. Super constructive with a set intention, but a bit like going on a side quest without a set direction. I did not have any hangover effects from MiV body butter - this was exciting as my experience with Gemini was rough. The smell is lovely and woah is it potent! A little goes a long way.
Other things I noticed: uptick in contacting the people I’ve been meaning to and never got around to. Way clearing with driving! Literally zero traffic or red lights during a generally busy time. (I have Virgo for one of my natal travel houses). There was a big push for efficiency, not so much invention. Overall a great experience! I’m lovingly calling my jar “The Task Master”

I've been putting this body butter on before brainstorming meetings at work: ideas gently surface, solutions are provided, and we move forward. It just becomes that simple! A wonderful support. Thank you Sphere&Sundry!

This might be my favorite body butters in terms of scent - slightly sweet and citrusy it's just lovely - and I almost want to eat it. Exalted Mercury body butter is best when I need to armor-up to deal with bureaucracy or other not very fun, but detailed tasks. The funny thing about Exalted Mercury is that on the first few applications, it seems to pull forward lots of little chores, but gives you superpowers to get through them all quickly and efficiently.

I thought this might be a better fit because I’m a Virgo rising, but I was not expecting it to be so intense. It’s actually not as compatible with my birth chart as some of the other series, but I found that layering it with other series (Deneb Algedi II, Saturn in Capricorn, Exalted Sol) helps provide guard rails that help it mesh with my energy and keep me on track. Since it is basically a whipped oil, I have also used it to anoint candles (this body butter plus Golden Goat incense-as-powder is phenomenal).

Wowwowwow this stuff is potent! Within a day of its arrival I was writing a plan for the business of my dreams, something that had never occurred to me that I could *actually do.*
Why Not?? Became a prevalent theme and I found myself thinking that Adderall just WISHES it could be Exalted Mercury, but it lacks the creativity, vision, and SPARK. I actually envisioned a little pill praying bedside to one day grow up and transform from boring pill shape to beautiful vial of oil. So yeah... the creativity is REAL with this series!
I find the butter to be especially strong and apply it first thing in the morning- plan on being AWAKE for quite some time after application. As with all S&S products, a little goes a long way (which is one of the many things I love about them!) but go ahead and get the large size because you're going to want more!!

At first, this bb made me irritable, which was unexpected. I then noticed that it's not a perfect alignment with my personal chart. What I have come to realize is that this materia (for me) needs a project. My job doesn't have a lot of oversight and requires plenty of self-motivation. When I have a long to-do list for work and have taken the time to make a plan for the day, it's very helpful.

Better than coffee for waking myself up! Loved it so much I had to get a second (larger) jar!

The smell of this body butter is citrusy and uplifting, as are the effects. I love to apply it to myself in the morning, especially when I have a busy work day or a long to do list. I feel focused and highly effective while using the body butter. I recommend applying this early in the day as it can be quite stimulating. I have a lot of mercury planets in my chart and I feel like EM enhances and focuses my skills. Thank you for this lovely product.

This has been of the the most life-altering substances I have worked with. This has sharpened the mind, brush and voice beyond needs. Within a week of receiving this product I landed a job as a CX with the structure needed to continue working on my esoteric/astro work. THIS SHIT MADE MY ONBOARDING FEEL LIKE NOTHING! If you struggle with focus and have a relationship with business, customer work, and everything mercurial! I HIGHLY SUGGEST. Pairing it with Mercury in sag in his own bound and then term was especially funny and mischevious. *WARNING YOU WILL NOT SLEEP IF APPLIED BEFORE BED THEY WERE TOO RIGHT ON THAT. I TOSSED AND TURNED FOR HOURS JUST LIT UP LIKE A FIRECRACKER! And if you have anyone around you that is pre disposed to stealing- this materia did trigger some situations were ---- mercury was mercury

I've been using the Mercury Body Butter on the mornings I have to go into the office. It's like an added bonus cup of coffee I dont have to drink. The scent is refreshing and lite and the pep and focus I feel tips the day into joy and productivity. I'm going to order the salve to go with the butter for an added boost.
