I had some apprehension about this oil. Dour old Saturn, cramping my style. Making a scratchy-quilled list and checking it thrice. But respect too, with a growing sense of the double-act he pulls with Jupiter. Mostly though, fear of Saturn being a grouch because though I'm astro-naive am aware there's a lot of that going on in my chart. Apprehension then, of being hauled before the boss. Only - none of that.

Instead, I'm drawn to ye olde time music of Talking Heads. And a track from their final album Naked. The video for Nothing But Flowers brings to life the feel of this remarkable oil: weighty matters assessed with a view to better times a-coming. Greys and blacks worn by dour-looking performers, grim data onscreen, and the jaunty Aquarian music they're playing. S-in-A for me has been a tender guide through a time of renewal, more kind with me than I've often been with myself and at times others. Sure, Asclepius has been part of all this, and more too. But the delightful surprise has been the supportive nature of this unexpectedly delightful oil. And that old-time video? Not sure I can link to it, but you'll find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2twY8YQYDBE

This being a Saturn oil, I waited to ensure that Saturn was in dignity on May 3, 2025, during Saturn’s hour. The cool-headed, mature approach of Saturn is coming through well, something I was indeed hoping to upgrade to (from my natal peregrine Saturn). It ‘played nice’ with the Enochian Saturnian king & Prince I evoked, and I’m happy to report that, after careful injoining the angels against negative effects, I’m doing better and calmer physically and mentally. There’s stuff to do, I can do it, and I will do it to make my life better, happier, and less bad. Which is a lot, seeing as I already have a lot to manage, but I think the ‘inner steel’ of this election is coming through nicely.

Purchased to cool off during Mars in Leo with Saturn moving into AQ. It will help with appetite suppression and will remind you of the back ache, which reminds me to be mindful. Excellent for good posture during meditation.

I use this oil on Saturn's day and on days when I need focused energy for completing projects.

Having used Saturn materia for boundary setting and enforcement, I was delighted to find that the Aquarius flavor of Saturn is much lighter and easy to wear on occasion. Much like Mercury in Virgo, this is the more hardcore option for discipline, focus, and getting things done. Saturn in Aquarius with Mercury in Virgo is actually the ultimate strength study drug cocktail. I love SiA by itself when I need to sit down and crank something out that I don't enjoy, but needs to be done.

As a Cancer sun, this oil is like taking a vacation from my occasionally overflowing emotions. Yet, it is not overly cold or depressing - it is just right. Cool and calm - realizing that it is not personal. If you have hesitated regarding Saturn materia - hesitate no more. This materia is friendly, refreshing, cool, calm and peaceful.

I feel so much capacity using this oil. I have the distance and perspective to do what needs to be done and what I *want* to do. It feels like I’m lifted out of the muck and am giving so much space and clarity.

When this oil first arrived, it quite literally demanded I work with it by inducing back pains until I unpacked it and gave it a job, immediately after the aches stopped and I was met with soft quiet. A good addition if you have a lot of racing thoughts and need mental quiet.

Saturn is unhappy in my chart so I was really surprised by how much I LOVE this oil! The scent is powerful and power-full - strong, assertive, clear and direct. Icy truth in a bottle.

Saturn in Aquarius oil was a pleasant surprise for me, especially after working with Saturn in Capricorn. While Saturn in Capricorn helped me with focus and discipline, this oil feels lighter and more expansive. It brings a sense of clarity and grounded energy without the weightiness I’d experienced before. Instead of being purely structured, it feels more fluid and adaptable—perfect for navigating change and uncertainty with ease. It offers a calm, logical perspective, helping me manage responsibilities while staying connected to the bigger picture. A wonderful balance of Saturn’s discipline with a touch of airy lightness.
