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

I'm going to preface this by saying that even though it's still the "softest" version of Sol, it can still be very uncomfortable for any Libras. I was tricked into a false sense of security from reading the description, thinking it would be a walk in the park. It was energetically burning and gave me angry mood swings the first time I used it. After utilizing the cleansing/bath mentioned on the site, everything was fine, however, and it felt relaxing.

Upon unboxing, I anointed my third eye area with the oil and I burst out laughing! So joyous! This oil makes me think of a concept articulated by Andrew Solomon,“The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality." However - this little vial has both - Joy & Vitality. It's an instant and lasting boost for my mood.

Wearing this oil helps me to relax into myself and connect with some much-needed optimism. Whenever I wear it, people seem to offer me greater warmth, generosity, and appreciation.

It’s taken me several weeks to process my experience with Golden Sol II. The smell is ginger-forward and not my favorite, but I’ve found myself drawn to apply it nearly every day since receiving it. The effect has been subtle for me but possibly life changing. I feel more whole, as if parts of me that I’ve always had trouble fitting together have slid snugly into place. My tendency towards melancholy has lessened—negative emotions still come up but I have so much more perspective and a greater sense of inner peace. I’m better able to handle things that normally would have sent me into a spiral of anxiety and avoidance. This has been a gradual process but the results noticeable. Safe to say Golden Sol II has earned a place on my “must-haves” list!

Adds a real kick to ritual, and smells wonderful to boot. The scent alone starts lifting my mood. Adding a little bit to a ritual candle seems to speed manifestation of results.
