Mars in Scorpio Attuning Tincture
Horny goat weed, maca root, yohimbe bark, fo-ti, longjack, tongkat ali, and tribulus fruit were ritually suffumigated and tinctured in top shelf bourbon under the auspices of the Mars in Scorpio series election. Designed to enhance yang potency and drive, whether it be in the bedroom or the battlefield.
Energetically and magically speaking, this attuning tincture is just as efficacious for women and non-binary individuals as it is men. For more on that, and how this election is specifically productive for enhancing desire and sexual performance, see the full series writeup.
Easily guiden by chosen activity and supplementation from other series. Warming.
Offered in a 1/2 oz dropper bottle for $30, or 1 oz for $55
Important: 100% of the ingredients in this formula were named in the first sentence of the description. Many of these occur in “male enhancement” herbal supplements and may cause hormonal changes, especially in favor of increasing masculinizing hormones which impact blood flow, in alignment with Mars as karaka for masculine presentation and bleeding. It could very well impact the efficacy of birth control and promote abnormal spotting or increased menstruation. Mars materia + talismans should always be avoided by anyone who is, could be, or is trying to get pregnant.
Also note: While this contains nothing inedible or poisonous, it was not created in a commercial kitchen to GMP standards, so it is not suitable or intended for consumption. Use externally to anoint yourself (nowhere sensitive) or objects. Keep this (and all our wares) out of reach of children. Do not use while pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Any internal consumption undertaken at the user’s sole risk and liability.

I'm so glad I snagged this tincture 3+ years ago before it sold out. Because of my natal situation, I use a very small amount of this with other very small amounts of Mars materia, and I've found it to be such a helpful boost for knocking out my to do list for the day. Grateful this is in my arsenal
I love this tincture so much, really looking forward to another Mars in Scorpio series. When I was a coffee drinker, I would add a few drops in my coffee and it gave me insane focus and attention to detail. I also used this as my “pre-workout” and it gave me the extra push and motivation I needed to go beyond my personal record with my sets. If I could have a lifetime supply of this, I would omg
I liked this a bit too much, I used it a lot when I was weight training quite heavily. Years later the gains made from this time period have sustained themselves despite not being the most consistent since then
I am Scorpio rising so was wondering how this Mars will affect myself. From transits, I learned that Mars in Scorpio feels powerful but could also bring forward my worth tendencies (like obsession with a task or idea on the cost of everything else). I did not risk to take the tincture internally and started with skin application, however, I did a mistake to apply it on the lower part of my belly closer to the scorpio parts. That was a huge mistake as I learned. I felt quickly it hits me in very particular way - like I would look at any object and see there some sexual context. First I thought it will pass but I got stuck on it. Trying to refocus on work did not help much and it took me a while to get back to normal. I thought this is how sex obsession feel like. I still use this tincture on Mars days for anointing objects and it works great for devotional purposes. Lesson learned.
I use this as a primer for exercising, very useful in my Mars year.
This combined with the Mercury in Cazimi series has been my go to for kick ass, get shit done levels of focus and motivation.
At first I was a little trepidations about venturing into the realm of malefic materia. But having a night chart and reasonable placed Mars in the chart (Virgo). I took the plunge as it were.
That said, I've experienced nearly zero negative side-effects ( I have had a head aches after pro-longed use with Mercury series on rare occasion). I think just anyone looking for a little extra boost in motivation, energy and libido could benefit from this series.
MiS is great and powerful friend indeed!
My partner noted a serious uptick in the amount and quality of ~intimate time~ we shared as I began to use this series regularly. Absent of any Venus effects, this tincture promoted a near-constant lust for my lover and increased my stamina for such activities--and not in a desperate, teenager-y kind of way. I didn't notice the difference until my partner pointed it out because, well, I was simply *too focused* on my desire for them in the now moment to realize that the frequency of acting on such desire had changed.
Aside from the welcome change noted above, this series absolutely promotes obsessive behavior, which in my case has been extremely useful in forcing myself to adhere to certain routines: I literally woke up at 2am after being asleep for several hours last night because I forgot to do something I had promised myself I'd do before bed, and once I'd fulfilled the promise I was able to fall back asleep. Users beware, as you may curse/bless yourself into Not Being Able To Do Anything Else Until That One Thing You Told Yourself You'd Do Gets Done.
Last but not least, the magnetism here is...intense. If you're not looking for Venusian attraction and would simply like to draw people in based on pure intrigue and "who's that mysterious hottie who I simply MUST meet" vibes, this is the best. Put a drop or two in your favorite alcohol-based perfume or cologne and give yourself a spritz before heading out on the town and I promise you'll get lots of looks, if not phone numbers!
Mars Tincture is about embodying empowerment. I think the effects will vary depending on your natal Mars placement, but for me it also shows up in a very strategic action oriented way. I can see how over-reliance on Mars materia could lead to feeling unbalanced, but if you're struggling with inertia, or just need to get some juice to get up and GO DO THAT THING, Mars in Scorpio materia helps you harness that.
This tincture worked fantastically, bestowing a sense of empowerment, capability, and an energetic willingness to do the work. I would take just the smallest drop under the tongue either first thing in the morning or on the first mars hour of my day, depending on how the timing worked out. I felt like I'd found something really spectacular, that allowed me to step into a better version of myself.
Then, I started breaking out. I didn't make the connection at first, thinking I was eating something I oughtn't, or doing one of oh so many things than can cause my hypersensitive skin to react badly. But after awhile of careful elimination and investigation, it eventually occurred to me that the timing of the breakouts coincided with the first few weeks of using this tincture. I didn't want to believe it, but just to be sure, I stopped using it and what do you know: my skin calmed down soon after.
Note that my skin is very reactive to MANY things, especially things that can affect hormones (including chocolate, pineapple, dairy, sugar, caffeine...). So even the TINIEST bit of the hormone-regulating herbs in this tincture was enough to set me off. I believe that speaks to the incredible potency of this offering.
So it is with great regret that I will be relisting this item in the S+S marketplace, when I get around to it. I tried using it externally, but 1) the effects aren't quite as pronounced, and 2) I fear that the herbs will make their way into my bloodstream again, which could cause breakouts later. I don't know if this is scientifically possible, but my fear of breakouts is enough to render this strategy not worth it.
To basically everyone who isn't me: you will enjoy this tincture so much, and I envy you!
Since Mars ingressed into Libra, I have had a lot of irritability. I didn't really expect it, but Kelly Surtees often talks about Mars in air signs natally as well as in the sky bringing irritability and anxiousness—and as an airy Mars native, I've found this to be spot on! As a result, I was called by Ares & Hephaestus (with whom I also commune as a wonderful Martial Gawd) to engage with the MiS tincture (just a drop or two) when I feel this irritability most strongly as remediation. I've done this a number of times now and have found that the tincture really acts as a cooling agent against the airy detriment of Mars in Libra. It has made me feel so safe and able to think clearly. There seems to be an almost calming and negating force against that irritability. I'm so thankful to have been able to engage with it more during this transit <3
I bought the Mars in Scorpio tincture because I was drawn to it's description for tenacity and steadfastness. My natal Mars is in Libra, and I often have issues being as bold with people, especially in authority, as I would like. This magickal item, taken under the tongue (literally a drop will do) or anointed behind my ears and on my crown or throat, is incredibly emboldening, warming, and helps bolster my focus. I feel a Martian edge when using it, *especially* on Mars days and in Mars hours. That actually makes a huge difference, and is interesting to play with. Totally A+ recommend this material for those who know they have the power to use their own sword, but need encouragement in picking up the blade. Thank you Sphere+Sundry. <3
At the suggestion of a friend, I ordered this tincture, and I will definitely be ordering again.
I add a drop under the tongue before my morning coffee (the taste is quite intense, coffee helps it go down easy) and it has done wonders to remediate a difficult Mars in Pisces in the 8th in a day chart.
Since beginning to take it daily, I have become more confident in conflict - specifically with honesty and confrontation in family issues - and able to get difficult emotional work done.
It has driven me to straightforward action in regard to a difficult divorce, and doesn't cease to be a daily ally! Think of it like an instant straighter spine and greater available, insightful energy.
Highly recommend!
I've gone through two bottles of this tincture and take it before work in the mornings (or did before I briefly ran out! I need to order more).
I most frequently take this tincture to have the mental drive, engagement, and clarity to get through my workload as effectively as possible.
But I also use it with the goal of jump-starting myself out of procrastination before various tasks and events.
For all of the above, the tincture has been a good assistive item. I like to use it with the Emperor: Scorpion oil since my job takes a lot of mental energy and has a "high stakes" feel to its demands and decision-making.
Been using Mars in Scorpio tincture drops in my workday coffee. I’m a negotiator in a field that deals with powerful gatekeepers, and I’ve noticed an impact on response time and character of the agreements. They’re more often in my organization’s favor and I get the terms I want.
It’s nice to feel the Mars activity in such a precise way, it’s helping me find the war marshal I’ve known was there and couldn’t always manage.
I absolutely love this attuning tincture, but it's definitely got some bite to it as well. If you're brave enough to give it a taste it isn't pleasing when it goes down the hatch, but Mars is a malefic, so I wouldn't expect any different than that.
Taking this is a wonderful way to give myself the motivation to exercise and to cut the crap. It's an excellent remedy for procrastination and soggy sentimentalities. A little aside though: I think it may mess with hormonal birth control pills and may increase bleeding in general (which is one of Mars' significations anyways..) so don't do that if you've got a medical condition or carefully balanced hormones to manage.
Sometimes you just need to get up off your butt though, you know?
I haven’t felt tired since I started using this lol! I do feel like emotions fade to the background and I can focus on the target at work or when working out. I normally use it in the morning and sometimes after the end of the workday I need to put some effort into logging off and relaxing. I do feel stronger and clearer. I use it together with mercury cazimi oil most of the times!
I've been using this to work with a challenging natal Mars and it's been incredibly helpful, particularly with difficulties around assertiveness, energy and focused intention. Used on a regular basis for remediation it reminds me of my inner mettle and when I need to push myself it's helped me power through challenging work and mental situations. It's amazing for grounding me into deeper attunement with my will, my desires and motivation to put the work in from a place of self-knowledge and self-respect. Truly potent!
I've got a day chart and mars is in my 10th whole sign house. And I'm in a mars ruled profection year. Remediation pls! I use the exalted mars spray before workouts and love it for that. I wanted to try something a little longer lasting, so I was excited when this series came out and included a tincture.
Anyway, it threw me for a loop! On the days I've used it, people compliment me and/or strike up a conversation with me, which I had expected from the Venus materia. But I'll take it for sure! My guess is that it helps tone down my like.. energetic resting bitch face with mars working a bit more functionally and with it being prominent in my chart? I'm not sure but I'm into it!
This tincture has been a total game changer for me. I purchased it for remediation work and have mainly used it for such purposes. The effects of this series (and particularly this tincture) have been deep, profound, and enlightening. The initial onset was one of deep grief and emotional release. It was a realization that stepping out of self-victimization was long over due, and that loss and pain were part of the human experience. Regardless of the immense pain I was experiencing, there was an unrelenting desire to power through, and do the work to lift myself up. I started working on projects and chores that I had been putting off (self-sabotage). I have also been able to overcome many social issues resulting from anxiety and self doubt. The saying "Love favors the bold" comes to mind.
It works just as powerfully on the physical self as it does on the emotional and psychological self. My motivation to sexually please partners is off the charts, and I have consistently been motivated to go to the gym. The increased physical activity has stoked my thyroid and my metabolism. I have a regular appetite (which is rare for me) and my digestion has drastically improved. Of all of the series that I expected to help me this profoundly, this would be close to the bottom, but man was I wrong and I can't be happier about that.
As a side note, I learned very quickly that powerful Mars energy should be treated with the utmost respect and care. When not in use, I wrap all items of this series in either black silk or the tissue paper it was shipped in to prevent energetic leakage and adverse side effects.
The Mars in Scorpio tincture is potent! I had to take it out of the bedroom. I’ve always had trouble with will, motivation, & general existential ‘why-bother’-ness, and I kind of detest the idea of discipline. After 2nd use of MiS I had a strong internal sense (almost like an instructive download) of the planets and spheres, the self & Self, and the absolute necessity of structure and discipline for consciousness/attention, in a way that felt very pivotal, motivating and supportive. Game changer.
I experimented with this tincture and Venus in Pisces incense in the studio for art focus. After a little initial vibe clash (ViP is so stony!) I settled into a state of creative absorption with some excellent dreamy breakthroughs.
Also I worked out with this- it did not soften the pain in the least, rather the sensations just seemed novel, interesting, and not a problem at all. Fierce!
