I needed to write a paper that I couldn't get started on so I used this with quicksilver tongue. Lemme tell ya, I might've over done it a little with the length of the final product. This is definitely get stuff done energy. I gave some to my Aries housemate and he told me he felt like he was low key on some good "supplements"

This is super fun, energetic, warm, and delicious invigorating. This is definitely one to limit use of lest it lead to burnout or overexertion - the first time I used it, I wanted to go run out the door and keep going like Forest Gump. Perhaps due to the influence of Jupiter (this is no Mars in Scorpio, that's for sure) it seems healthy, fortifying, and supportive - it's not harsh, but it's also not the gentle rock-a-by baby gentle support of other series.

This tincture immediately feels like embodying strength, courage and tenacity. Daunting tasks feel less challenging, complicated problems feel simpler and desire and motivation in general feel more accessible and closer to the surface. Revs my engine in more ways than one if you know what I mean.

My martial self is a bit underdeveloped, but this has been profound. I have been able to start going to the gym, and working out regularly. I find consistency now, where I never found it before. While also enjoying myself which is not a normal thing. Over the past couple months, Ive noticed a change in how I hold myself, both physically and even on a personality basis. It has definitely invoked a 'warrior' aspect of myself where one was lacking in the past.

This is a potent tincture and use should definitely be kept to 3 drops. Mars is supported and tempered by the presence of Jupiter, however you cannot avoid the Mars. I enjoy working with malefics, I think it’s good for all of us to do that. My relationship with Mars and my natal Mars has blossomed since using this series (also a huge fan of the soap!). Tinctures in my experience have been the greatest source of gnosis through materia. You get to know the energies better and how they can be utilized. Bonus: this is pretty delicious!

the tincture has got some punch, love a drop under my tongue as well as top of head to connect in with the higher realms of self. Enthusiasm I feel with tempered excitment ….I love it

As a Mars in Aries (conjunct my Ascendant and my North Node :’)) girl, I bought this with the intention of using it along with some cooling and tempering remediation (if that’s the word: more like reconciliation) of that powerful and somewhat overheated Mars in order to bring me into better alignment with its energy and help direct my energy better. It just being *in my house* has done some powerful work on me, my energy levels, and my temper. Instead of flaring up and burning out, I feel far more energetic in a way that isn’t fatiguing: I feel like a good, steady hearth fire ready for cooking and warming, rather than a bonfire out of control. I am so glad this called to me and I got it!

This materia has the quickest, most noticeable results of any I’ve worked with. I’m truly amazed at how much energy, tenacity, and willpower it’s given me in just a few short uses. It’s like caffeine but with no crash. Exactly what I needed to get out of the slump I’ve been in.

I don't normally write a review until I've had time to hang out with an item for a while, but how fitting that I would feel the urge to skip ahead with this one bc man oh man is this a turbo pack.

I specifically ordered this item for help with a very time-sensitive application that I was dragging my feet with. I knew it would be a miracle if the shipment arrived in time, but I'm used to miracles with S+ materia so I pulled a Hail Mary.

First of all, it arrived right in the nick of time, bc of course. Secondly, it works exactly as intended. I said my prayers, took a few drops and got straight to it. (For the record, I did do a formal offering of tinctured coffee and well-dressed candles later in the evening.) The work at hand was a long and deeply personal essay, the type of which would normally make me cringe and pout and agonize for hours over every sentence. With this tincture, though... it's like my Big Girl Brain kicked in and I could organize my thoughts with clarity and calm. Everything step by step.

I realized that much of my issue with writing (and probably everything tbh) was that I start working on step two before I've finished step one. So, as I'm coming up with the points I want to make, I start wondering what order they should go in, or as I'm writing one section, I get distracted by the next section and it just tangles up the tracks of the train. With this influence, it became very easy and obvious to simply finish one item before moving on to the next, and it all flowed smoothly. Not without effort, but def without angst.

I did have to "power up," a few times over the course of the 6+ hour writing process, and it got harder as I went on, but not nearly as hard as I would have expected.

The best part was the final editing. This is normally the most fraught phase of writing for me, since the awkwardness of a phrase will feel like a personal attack and then I second-guess how to fix it from a place of insecurity and embarrassment. Instead, everything felt straightforward. This sentence doesn't work because there's not enough of a layup. This phrase can be said another way that flows better. This paragraph runs on here. Everything became simple, specific, and surprisingly dispassionate. I expected the fiery nature of Aries and Mars to be more emotional, but this felt like my grumpy toddler feelings were being put in the backseat so a grown-up could drive the car.

In retrospect, it makes sense because I have Mars and Moon in Aries natally (in the first house, no less) so *of course* everything feels personal and highly charged and *of course* Daddy Jupiter would have a calming, grounding, maturing effect. It might be simply because of my natal placements, having a Mars that needs calming down rather than revving up. I could imagine it potentially having the opposite effect on someone with Mars in more of a deficit natally, idk, but for me the influence bordered on Saturnian (like, Saturn.. but make it happy).

Finally, having submitted my application at last, I was met with a completely unexpected roadblock at the home stretch that put everything in jeopardy. All my efforts seemed to be for nothing because of a scheduling snafu that I seemingly had zero power to change. I did pout a bit then, but there was a sense of not giving up even as I tried to shrug it all off. A little while later, I got the idea to check one other sneaky backroad into a solution and it worked! It ended up being an expensive solution (it is Jupiter we're talking about after all) but it was a solution no less!! Power and victory through persistence, precision, and calm under pressure.

All of this on my FIRST DAY of using the stuff.

Really, truly works as advertised, and then some. I look forward to leaving additional feedback after I've had time to test-drive long-term, but the initial impression was, indeed, like lightning.

I've been taking one drop of Mars Jupiter in Aries tincture a day since it arrived. One drop is plenry of power... for reference since starting the tincture I've basically purged and cleansed every room of my house, including the closets where I was hiding everything from sight.... I have 12 GIANT bags of clothes, shoes, purses to give away (join your local Buy Nothing group if you havent!), and basically gutted my kitchen cabinets and tossed all the old plastic containers, coffee cups old food, sad cookie sheets that were taking up space. It feels so great to declutter and purge... and I've just not been motivated until now. I also feel less hungry, which may also be an SIA effect, but worth noting because of the spice/cinnamon. 10/10 use this is you need to tackle a project you've been avoding for 3 years (not kidding on the 3 years part).
