I use most of my other tinctures as needed during the day, but this is definitely best for bedtime use (or maybe before a daytime nap!). I put a drop in my water or melatonin drink before bed and have found it brings restful & healing sleep.

I've said before that my favorite S+S tincture is Exalted Venus II, and it may still be . . . but as this Lunar series has become tied with Venus in Taurus for my number one, I am REALLY into all of its forms including the tincture! I find it hard to describe, though, compared to my reviews for the rest of the Exalted Moon forms. Oddly enough, I've experienced tinctures as alternating between more subtle & more overt than other materia. Sometimes holding them provides a dense feeling of magic or energy, while actually taking a drop in the mouth can have nearly imperceptible effects. At the same time, it's quite clear that the purpose of the tinctures {attunement} is being achieved. That's why I use them, and feel called to them; there's a sense of coming into complete harmony with the desired qualities of the Power they're consecrated under. They just make it that much easier to manifest or create what you're aiming for. I feel like they clear blockages within so that you can become filled with, and embody the essence of, your chosen aspects of Divinity.

Normally I like to sit with a series for quite a while and get a thorough sense of what it does before leaving a review, but I have no hesitation in running to the presses early on this one! In feeling, it's the pleasant, floaty, easeful, drowsy relaxation of having all problems solved and to-do lists taken care of and everything is just good and fine in the world (most of us probably haven't felt this sans materia in years!). In concrete circumstances, it got me caught up on sleep after having accumulated a big sleep debt that was tearing holes in my physical and mental health. (It also smells and tastes amazing - I put a few drops in chai tea or vanilla oat milk - or a combo of the two - and it's delicious). After about a week of daily use, I'm starting to experience the "cup is full, energy is now available for other things" that the write-up describes. Using more discipline-oriented materia during the day and Luna in Taurus tincture at night is getting my work/life balance sorted out and enabling my mental buzz (and work-related guilt trips) to turn off when it's time for rest. It's already a treasured presence in my toolkit, and one I'll definitely be coming back for more of.

Soothes the nerves. Builds inner confidence gently by removing the fear of intimacy and quieting the nagging inner critic.
