Venus in Taurus Rose Water
A hydrosol of 2 dozen fresh and fragrant roses, rosehips, marshmallow root, raspberry leaf, and other herbs sacred to Venus, rose quartz and emerald, distilled during one of the best elections the Fairer Benefic’s time in Taurus 2019 had to offer.
As detailed in the description, the Venus in Taurus series was the first Sphere + Sundry created while traveling, which necessitated the use of a very small still. For this reason, the Rose Water of Venus in Taurus is the most limited run of waters available.
Use as a body and aura spray to promote self-love and self-assuredness. Promotes desirability, groundedness, and reduces feelings of neurosis and judgment. Chill AF, indulgent, and lush.
Can be used weekly as a form of Venus remediation. Apply before dates or social events where you desire to be seen at your most glamorous, turning your inner Queen out into the world. Draws admirers, gifts, free upgrades, food, libation, enjoyment, compliments, and money into your sphere.
While absolutely not a requirement to utilize, the entire Venus in Taurus series is especially productive for those whose income is derived from their attractiveness, glamour, and Venusian social station, such as tipped workers, dancers, hostesses, sex workers, those looking to “marry up”, and the like. Apply before going to work.
Available in a 1/2 oz glass spray bottle with rose quartz for $28 or a 2 oz for $63.
$28 – $63

Water of Mars in Scorpio

Forgemaster’s Iron Palm Dit Da Jow I
Sold Out, Sundry, Waters[sf_iconbox image="fas fa-magic" character="" color="accent" type="boxed-four" animation="" animation_delay="200"]
Sold out — a new batch is now available ⚒️[/sf_iconbox] This is the result of a standalone project one and a half years in the making. It was created during a supremely fine Mars in Capricorn election, the red planet rising in its hour, fortified by Jupiter in Scorpio on the midheaven, and anchored by a stalwart, exalted Taurus Moon. As always, the chart can be found in the image gallery. The Forgemaster's Iron Palm liniment is a specialized form of jow, intended to warm, strengthen, and fortify, in addition to providing the expedited healing properties of other more generalized dit da jows. It can be used in the formal context of iron palm (or shin, or foot, etc.) training, but it also provides energetic and magical properties encapsulated by the Mars election itself. It serves as a form of exterior armor and attunes one's vessel to the Martial sphere in a way that is both productive and invigorating. Apply and rub well into the skin before and/ or after workouts or combat, whether of a metaphoric or physical nature. For a deeper dive into the workings of this supremely fine, well aged formula, Austin writes —The furnace blazes, the iron glows. Blood burns in the hammer-arm of the blacksmith. Stubborn metal becomes malleable, open to convincing arguments from the hammer and the strong hand that wields it.
Fire, iron, and blood. This is the holy trinity of Mars, as crucial for creation as it is for destruction. While many know Mars as the Warrior, the red planet is equally the Smith. In the Smith we see the constructive side of Mars, the blood, sweat, and tears necessary to shape and re-shape our lives, our bodies, ourselves.
The Smith’s alchemical action is an especially apt metaphor for the transformation of the body. The layers of effort required to re-forge the body are quintessentialy martial, and there is no exercise regimen as close to the forge as Iron Palm.
Iron Palm refers to a family of limb-training methods which strengthen the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones for both defensive and offensive purposes. Many styles also emphasize the internal side, cultivating increased qi emission capacity for both striking and healing purposes.
Though there are many variations, the training almost always consists of a daily routine of hitting progressively more resilient materials. A canvas bag of bean, then stones, then metal. Though the results are dramatic, the training process is incremental, with as much attention paid to healing and perfect recovery as to anything else.
Over the years, a great number of liniments have been created for this purpose. Generally referred to as dit da jow, they are widely available and widely used for general athletic purposes well outside of the specific practice of an Iron Palm regimen.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is one of these Iron Palm formulae, but with a Sphere + Sundry twist. This Jow was created in a fully ritual manner and at a precisely elected astrological time.
Prayers to Mars the Forgemaster were intoned to bless and empower this tincture at the outset of the operation. The operators were consecrated to the red work, and the medicine vessels adorned with magic square, seal, and sigil.
The elected time seemed a spectacularly appropriate and rare moment for this work. It was the Day and Hour of Mars, with the red planet exalted in Capricorn and on the Ascendant. This powerful, earthy Mars was further supported by a trine from an exalted Moon in Taurus, and meanwhile, Jupiter in Mars-ruled Scorpio crowned the zenith (MC). Not only was Mars strong, but Mars, the Rising, Moon, and Sun were all in Earth signs in order to ensure that the planet’s iron blessings were sufficiently rooted in the very bodily goal of this creation.
After the evocations were said, the herbal and animal ingredients were sealed in their alchemical bath for 18 months.
The result, the Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow, is not only rich with the spirit and energy of this powerful Mars election, it also possesses the excellent properties bestowed by the materia of the formulation itself.
The basis for this recipe is the Iron Palm formula of Yu Cheung (1894- 1952), one of the famed Five Tigers of Canton. His iron palm feats were famously documented in the early 1900's by photographers, and though his stone-shattering exploits are too numerous to cover here, there are entire books dedicated to his training methods. Crucially, he was known not just his power of his hands, but also their sensitivity.
This formula was designed by him to cultivate both strength and softness. Protection for the hand, energy gates, and organ systems while also maximizing sensitivity and the capacity to express qi for both healing and striking purposes. Yu Cheung’s formula is the basis for this liniment, though it has been modified in small ways for reasons of both ethics and efficacy.
This liniment is designed to unblock the qi flow, activate blood movement, relax tendons and ligaments and increase bone strength. The two types of qi this formula stimulates are wei qi or “defensive/guardian energy” and regular organ qi. This formula activates both in harmony, and is one of the many reasons it is superior to a store-bought dit da jow.
Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is formulated to facilitate the healing of bruises , tendons, sinews, and bones, and to reduce pain, strengthen blood vessels, reduce swelling, and mitigate blood stagnation. It also protects the meridians and mobilizes both protective and organ qi for health and vitality.
The Forgemaster’s Dit Da Jow is, of course, perfect for an Iron Limb regimen, but has a number of other uses. Both physically and energetically, it is an ideal pre- and post- workout liniment for any martial striking practice, such as boxing and kickboxing. More broadly, it can be used to ready and fortify the muscles, tendons, and joints in preparation for any athletic activity, and to facilitate the swift healing of bruises. Magically, it is appropriate for works of fortification and the cultivation of personal power.
Bottled and a portion made available to the public on the first Tuesday after Mars returned to Capricorn in 2020, a year and a half after creation. Note: Should not be used in areas with mucous membranes, skin rashes, open cuts, or sores. Apply a small amount, wait an hour, if no allergic reaction occurs, continue with use. External application only.

This hydrosol is so lovely. I feel grounded, less “in my head” and more able to enjoy simple pleasures after using it. I prefer this Venus series over the Venus in Libra series (and find that interesting as my ascendant and moon are in Libra). It feels extra-special in some way.
This hydrosol is the like rose water on steroids. To me, its absolutely chill and grounding. My natal Venus is in Capricorn in a difficult house, and can get very lost if I’m not paying attention. This helps quell some of the inner judgement, and be more open to receiving and indulging in pleasure. This definitely facilitates acceptance.
I love this hydrosol! I wore it layered with Golden Sovereign for an art gala event. (Getting a free ticket for the event was lovely in itself). Definitely enjoyed the food, drink, and different art experiences on offer.
I’ve also noticed since working with it that I’ve been able to be more patient and receive pleasure, which had been a challenge in the past. Also I think I can accept compliments more easily.
Also, it smells amazing! I like to use it when it’s self care time.
I think I only recognized in hindsight how profound this stuff has been for my standards and self-esteem. Since I started dating again this year (and best believe, I’ve been applying this before dates), I’ve:
– Felt comfortable enough to get up and leave in the middle of a date after dude said something bigoted and gross. My Libra Rising tendency is usually to wait for a more “polite” exit opportunity, but I was able to confidently (and still, somehow, not rudely) tell him that what he said was a dealbreaker for me and leave, because…I realized…I valued my time and comfort more than his feelings. LMAO
– Decided it was worth it to invest in laser hair removal, which kinda feels like a trivial expenditure to my usual sensibilities, but it’s been a very nice treat to give myself
– Actually started to feel comfortable with the idea that these men were blessed to be in my company, and noticed them treating me accordingly. I’ve honestly always been a little more “Mars” than “Venus” in my approach to dating, especially with people I’m really attracted to. But I’m taking notes from Venus in Taurus, and she’s helping me sit back and receive, which often means receiving a little more effort on the part of my suitors and being less willing to accept behavior that doesn’t meet my standards. I mean this mostly in an immaterial way, but one guy actually suggested getting a room at a nice hotel in Manhattan just for kicks. The best way I can explain it is that I’m learning what it means to feel “expensive,” and not necessarily in a shallow, capitalistic way. It kind of reminds me of how the word for “love” in Tagalog also means “expensive.”
This was such a gorgeous hydrosol, even on a mundane level. It had a much fresher, brighter quality in scent than I usually experience with rosewater. In terms of effect, the time over which I used this is a window I’d say I was probably the best-looking I’ve been since college. Objectively (for lack of a better word for something like looks), was that the case, given I didn’t change anything about my routine? Who knows. But that tendency to take a critical eye to your reflection in the mirror was gone, which only helped compound self-confidence.
Maybe related, maybe not, but while I had this, my Libra and Taurus sun friends all got way more chatty with me too, haha.
I’m bummed I wasn’t as sparing with this as I should have been, given the limited run. Hoping it’ll be back at some point!
The Venus in Taurus Rose was was by far my favorite offering yet! Not even kidding- 20 mins after I sprayed it on my skin, I wanted to eat chocolate cake and lounge on the couch. Within minutes I received an invitation for an all expense paid vacation to the Beach <3
This is probably my favorite S+S hydrosol. The smell is absolutely gorgeous, there’s no way I can spray it just once when applying it. When spritzed on the face and neck, it’s both refreshing and indulgent at the same time. My favorite use is for Venus day’s when I feel the need to relax and pamper myself. It’s a very “treat yoself” vibe.
This is the fastest I’ve used up an S+S product by far. I’m sitting on my hands trying to resist ordering more yet, since I think there will be other collections coming out soon.
For starters, this product didn’t make me indulge in food. As a Taurus with lots of Venus aspects, I’m already prone to overindulgence in all things, so I was a little worried. Instead I actually had LESS appetite, as though the product itself satiated me.
The sexual effect of this product is also gorgeous. Each time I used this led to slow, luxuriant, deeply sensual lovemaking.
It also just smells beautiful and is lovely on the skin. One of my favorite S+S items for sure.
This is gorgeous and I hope I can order more before it runs out. I am a huge fan of roses (a madwoman for roses, in fact) and this oil brought me into my hips and femininity. My best friend and I drained the bottle together and she cooked and did fresh juice with tons of different kinds of fruits. It’s amazing, I feel like this has facilitated a depth and exchange of resources in that friendship. Something started to flow. We were also both deeply cleaning our houses and found things for one another that were perfect. There was just so much physical exchange during our use of this. Gorgeously crafted….
This is definitely one of my favorite products yet! The water has a very nice long lasting scent. It’s a lot of rose but, it’s heavenly. I wore this for my recent birthday and boy did I attract some lavish gifts! I am still playing with it but, I was blown away by the potency of this water! Highly recommend!
This water is AMAZING.
First, do you want amazing coitus? Get yourself some Venus in Taurus!
Would you like romantic bliss? Try Venus in Taurus!
The day I ordered it, i had a doctors appointment. I felt a strong urge to dress up in purples and pinks, with a bit of steampunk flair. My fiance always wears steampunk clothes, but I don’t. We had people asking to take our pictures left and right. It was pretty fabulous.
The water has a lovely green scent with a hint of rose. And the results in the bedroom were uh… explosive and well received. I hate that this is a limited run!
