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
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.

The Goat’s Phalanges
Available, Saturn in Capricorn, Talismanic PerfumesFirst of all the deathless gods who dwell on Olympus made a Golden Race of mortal men who lived in the time of Kronos when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting beyond the reach of all evils. When they died, it was as though they were overcome with sleep, and they had all good things; for the fruitful earth unforced bare them fruit abundantly and without stint. They dwelt in ease and peace upon their lands with many good things, rich in flocks and loved by the blessed gods.
When one thinks of Saturn, joy is usually not the first word that comes to mind, but there is joy there: it is the joy of an untroubled heart and a mind in balance, the joy found in the serenity that existed in the Time Before Time.
The Goat’s Phalanges reaches back into the age of Titans. It is an oil of bringing ideas into form and an oil of grounding and guidance both from the earth itself and from primal forces beyond our comprehension. It is an oil that invokes a very specific nature of inner peace: the peace that came from a time before conflict existed. This oil honors Kronos of Elysium, King of the Golden Age.
