This form is like a quiet, more sedate form of positivity and healthy thinking. I find my negative or spiraling thoughts and emotions either fall off or get re-directed to a healthier or more positive way of looking at them. A very nice pick-me-up that doesn't scream for the sun's spotlight. More like quietly basking in the sunrise.
This materia is like metaphysical liquid gold for the body/mind/soul. Somehow it simultaneously calms and energizes…Brings confidence…Bestows a sense of hopeful optimism…Uplifts my spirit and boost my energy levels…also feels very protective and fortifying. Highly recommend if you have any identify or self esteem issues, or just struggle with general anxiety and depression like many of us do these days. Golden sol is simply exquisitely divine.
I find it powerful for healing work, particularly around issues of self-forgiveness. It's helping me to break patterns of self-punishment,
On my Must use Daily list for winter relief.
My Sun rules the Eighth House, and the effects of this oil can be subtle and sometimes unnoticable for me, and when I wear it I often end up spending time working for others (others' resources - Eighth House), especially students (the Sun can be to do with children). After a year of applying it on Sundays, I noticed that over time it has made me more aware of my wounds surround being perceived. I am often called to apply it in conjunction with Asclepius and tend to health matters. The smell is one of my favourite things about the oil. It's lemon-y, pepper-y and invigorating.
Another reviewer mentioned applying before therapy bringing good results. I wanted to echo this as being a 100% top shelf top tier idea. I have used this before multiple therapy sessions now and the difference is night and day. Yes, therapy without it is still worthwhile. But the amount of ground covered, or rather, the ability for this materia to bring the session to where it really needs to go for my own healing, is outstanding. Like Apollo with his bow it brings perfect aim towards what *truly* needs to be Seen and Understood in order for me to best move forwards. True medicine. Pro tip: If you do this, say a little prayer. Mine is along the lines of "Oh Sun, please illuminate that which needs to be seen most for my Flourishing." May the Sun guide you.
This seemed to exaggerate my natal sun's virtues, make them really noticeable. Became really organized and clean, like a good Virgo, more helpful but also slightly more curt. I finished the oil but the lessons remained. Will repurchase.
I call my rollerball my Felix Felicis. For me it has that vibe. On days when I want to go out and don't have anything in particular planned, I reach for this because it helps me just follow the vibes and and the vibes always end up somewhere awesome. Also, ime this series will put eyes on you. Even when I'm dressed down and not really interacting with people, they notice me more than usual and will comment on something I'm doing.
I loved this oil so much I immediately on opening it bought another for my sister, a Leo rising/Leo Moon. It feels so warm and bright, and wearing it I feel like I am embodying the Sun in the sense that my light is shining in a way that nourishes those it touches. It helps me understand why it’s important to come out of hiding and let others see who I really am. And because I feel I can be myself, others respond in kind.
Have been on a Solar journey these past 6 months, mostly using Son of Apollo materia for healing. Many shifts have occurred, but it wasn’t until using the Golden Sol that I began to feel an embodied sense of my agency. This oil took my inner work and helped me shine from a place of authenticity and heart. Very grateful.
Effects are a brightening and invigorating and stabilizing influence. Solar in a quiet and dignified way. Worked well and re-affirmed the words “I am.”
The oil smells so lovely. I use it for anti-social anxiety effects. It's calm, gentle and healing. It's perfect for sun remediation. It helps me to just be me and be comfortable in my skin.
It took a few days of regular wear to start to feel the effects of this, but within a week... wow. I had a very major epiphany about myself and my past that was both very clarifying and very freeing, and lead to a sense of peace around something that had been taking up space inside me and causing me to "hide" certain parts of myself for a long time. It makes me feel both softer and stronger within myself, and more receptive towards others. The actual, literal Sun card.
I think I have such a profound reaction to this Materia because it interacts with my natal chart like *crazy* - major activations of both my Gemini 5H and my Leo 7H, as well as favorable aspects to my natal Venus, Ascendant/Mars conjunct, and Mercury/MC conjunct. It's actually kind of bonkers how many areas of my chart this hits simultaneously.
This Materia makes me feel so good, in such a quiet but impactful way, that I feel like I want to wear it every day of my life forever! Like I'm having a hard time not buying 5 vials of it at once to stockpile. And it feels like a really good base on which to build. I'm looking forward to trying it in combination with other things, especially to boost some of the creative career building I'm planning to undertake with the Cap II + III Materia. Also curious to pair it with Venus Materia given how much it activates the relational areas of my chart.
This oil feels like a fresh springtime morning when you just grab your coffee on the balcony and hear the birds chirping. Full of optimism and bright light which is inwards rather than an ostentatious way.
As a 12th House Sun, I've always been challenged in the solar department, so GSII felt like a great source of support to seek out during a solar year. The materia is chipper and easygoing, not unlike Regulus III but softer, and has provided me with buoyancy and self-trust when I've really needed it. There was one day where I went out to run errands after putting this on and got into a conversation at a store with a guy at a store who, apropos of nothing, started giving me some of the sweetest compliments about the energy he picked up from me, not at all creepy, and they all felt like true things I'd needed to hear! I got a *little* bummed when I remembered, 'oh, yeah, I'm wearing GSII' and thought maybe it was a fluke, but this was just one way it was coaxing me out of that 12th House perspective. My light is always there, but this makes it easier to see and feel <3
This series has been my introduction to solar materia and I am absolutely in love. I was worried that a solar series would be too much for me but I have found this to be one of the most gentle and uplifting series that I have used yet! It's like being outside in the early morning before the sun gets too hot on a beautiful spring day. It truly has a very childlike feel to it-in a good way. It brings a level of joy and curiosity that comes so easy when you are a kid and which we often lose once we are adults. This oil has been a big help in lifting me out of a bad mood or a pessimistic spiral. I reach for this oil far more often than I thought I would. I've used more of this oil than I tend to do for most other series. I use it most Sundays but also any time I want to have a good time or want to enjoy a good mood. I don't find that it increases confidence for me per se but it has a way of putting me at ease when I am around others or in large groups. I have used this oil before going out and socializing and it has not disappointed me.
Daily application of this oil has brought to light (confirmed by divination) the source of some troubles I’d been struggling with for many years; like parting the curtains in dark rooms I’d been stumbling around for my entire life.
While this is definitely a gentler Sol, i feel like this oil still has the potential to be intense for folks with a weakened or afflicted Sun. I have a moderately afflicted Sun, with Leo being my 12th house, and this oil brought up a lot of shadow work, blind spots and personal revelations even with just a few applications. Valuable information indeed, and I actively prepared myself and invited in these insights. But I can see how it could catch someone off guard. This oil also has the potential to excavate your true heart’s desires. In terms of materia as medicine, this is a series I continue to take my time with and let each layer unfold with care. For when you want to be seen and appreciated as your TRUE self, and pursue that which makes your heart sing.
I also LOVE that it comes with a Jyotish grade gem.
...with the most recent Saturn materia! This is fabulous for someone like me who has had self esteem problems in the past. Did I say past? Yes, PAST! Along with the It gives me a stately feeling, a feeling that my "set point" for my general worth as a human/embodied spirit can no longer fluctuate. THIS IS HUGE, folks. Deep, deep thanks! Innocence, here I come...
The scent is lovely, it's one of my favourite S+S smells. Out of all the materia I've tried I think I feel its energy the most... like it's just oozing out of the bottle. This might be because I have natal angular Jupiter in Leo so I feel this energy strongly. But I really like it, it's very warm and fuzzy and just pure good vibes. I'd say it's very uplifting during cold seasons and I can't wait to use it during summertime to boost the sunny energy even more.
This has been a great companion as I embark on a new business and take on a new leadership role with a lot of responsibility. Steady and reassuring, nurturing growth and maintaining optimism.
I don't love this as much as the first Golden Sol oil, because I think I can probably handle a good degree of Sun energy without getting burnt - so this one feels like quite a subtle, pure energy, which is lovely but doesn't quite meet my needs as much as the obvious warmth and reassurance of the first series.
My relationship with the solar sphere has traditionally been challenging, and this series provides a bridge to navigate the (for me) terrifying prospect of Being Seen for Who I Actually Am. As an AuDHDer with plenty of C-PTSD triggers, I'm beyond grateful to this series for making the whole idea of visibility less threatening...even when others are clearly not a fan of what I'm bringing to the table, I don't take it personally. Highly recommend for anyone looking for gentle ways to establish healthier relationship with solar qualities
Well, I’m still working with and getting to know this lovely spirit. The scent is gorgeous, gently warming and gingery-turmeric-y-milky, to me. Apart from using it to dress candles and petition for help for loved ones, or wearing when I’ve needed confidence, I thought I’d talk about my experience today.
For context, my natal Sun is in Aries, in the 8th Whole Sign house. A bit of a mixed testimony. I struggle somewhere between long periods of being hidden from the world in ignominy, and other moments of getting attention that curries envy. Also bear in mind, Mars is the ruler of that house. Since embarking on planetary devotions, I’ve noticed that sometimes connecting with a planet seems to activate the planetary ruler from my own chart. So when Mars entered the scene today, I wasn’t terribly surprised.
It’s Sunday, and I thought this was a good day to wear GSII. I spread a fingertip’s worth across my chest where my heart is, then got on with my usual dog walk. As I walked, I began to feel an agitated fire build within me regarding something my son’s father had said to him recently. I felt compelled to call him and get to the point on the issue (I usually avoid confrontation). I called and listened to his defensive (Martial) reaction. Things got heated. I was bold enough to swear at him. As he teetered on his usual go-to of threats and flouncing, I managed to turn it around without fawning or pandering. Staying firm and direct and passionate, I got this man’s attention in the direction I wanted it to go - towards the wellbeing of our child.
I got off the phone, wondering what was going on with the transits that minute that made Mars seem to show up so pointedly. I also rolled my ankle on the edge of the footpath, but luckily I was fine. My dog also went ballistic lunging and barking first at a child’s bike then at a rather innocent looking dog. Good heavens, this was not a peaceful Sunday walk and the Mars presence was very notable.
HOWEVER the other thing that was notable was that several people seemed to turn their heads and smile at me at various points during the walk. We passed a woman trying to admonish kids for hitting each other as she put them in the car (again, Martial for a Sunday morning). Instead of looking frazzled, she looked across the street and smiled at me. I smiled back. Random person putting their bin out also smiled across the street to me. I smiled back and said “hey”. Feeling surprisingly outgoing, like I was welcome, and like me being welcome was expected. A conversation with a lady with her dog had her being the one who didn’t want to leave and I was the one who broke it off (usually it’s the other way around).
Now it’s not that people aren’t normally nice to me on walks. But it really felt like they looked up and SAW me, and they all liked what they saw. Like I was the magnet. It was an extraordinary feeling, especially in combination with the intense feeling of “fight” energy on the same walk. Come to think of it, it wasn’t actually intense with an edge. It was just firm fight energy, like a steady fire.
Now perhaps the fight energy was nothing to do with my wearing of GSII. Perhaps it was just something to do with the transits (Mars is retrograde). But it felt so specific to putting it on and heading out this Sol’s day. Perhaps it’s the fact that Sun burns as well as warms? But I am mostly working with the theory that wearing this oil interacted with my exalted Sun in the 8th house (arguing with ex about kid and money, and really holding my own), perhaps triggering Mars because Mars is its ruler. I was shown, like it was opened up and laid out on a map, some facets of what my exalted Sun can be about. Finding my fight - and drawing the love.. And standing tall in it, and smiling without fawning. Yes - I have a right to glow. It’s my birthright!
Thank you Golden Sol II, I hope we can do something like this again soon.
I hadn't had a chance to try any of the previous Solar series. Apparently Exalted Sun could feel a bit heavy, and well, this is definitely a soft thing, very suitable for devotional practices or daily use. It transmits a lot of joy, at least in my case, that's how it has been.
I never knew how good it could feel to support my cadet-house Sun. I feel like a content kitty lying in a patch of sunshine when wearing this. It simply lends to feeling good - feeling good in your body and your person. Highly recommend this materia.
I've been working with this for a couple weeks, mostly by applying it to myself. Generally, it invites positive interactions with people around me, be they random strangers, friends, or family. It also invites a more neutral/positive embracing of changes in direction in favor of new pathways (excellent for clearing through stagnant patterns!).
Interestingly, I've observed some nuanced, subtle activations with my natal chart. I have Leo in the 11th and my sun in the 9th ruled by a dignified Mercury. Wore this on a Sunday, and had a very social day with a friend and befriended the barista when we went out for coffee. Wore this on a Wednesday and ran into the most positive apocalyptic prophet at the doctor's office (yes, it was very random). Then I went to a coffee shop where the baristas were discussing their theological study/practices. I'll see if this pattern holds. If it does, it could point to this oil giving a boost to solar dynamics within your natal chart.
My experience with this seems to be more akin to the expected effects of the Torch subset. It's been a wonderful (at times painful) illuminator and supportive in solar issues.
This oil is heart-lifting and smells lovely. It’s the most wearable Sol series so far for me; I find the effects subtle but pervasive with no blowback or extra heat.
I felt so giggly and joyful the few days I applied after using this oil, but that has settled. At times the solar energy feels a bit intense, and I use kolonia. It feels like I’m learning to build up a sustainable capacity for solar energy
