I ADORE how this smells. This is my most favorite scent of all my S+ materia. Spica landed with a lesson around expectations & disappointments and with questions around what matters more: things that bring true enjoyment but have little monetary value or things that have high monetary value but don’t bring much enjoyment.
I thought wearing this materia would bring me experiences where people would be more inclined to please, but perhaps thats more of a Venusian quality. Instead I’m usually getting a reminder on what really matters and how everything else is just.. decoration—which can be nice 💅 but to not let the lack of fanfare dampen the true value of the moment.
I don't know what it's doing, it's hard for me to feel the energy. I'm usually very sensitive to all materia.
But the way this has me literally removing the chaff from my life. Incredible.
It's helping me make space for other things, I think.
Also, while cleaning, I found a sharpener with a unicorn that said: Believe in Magic!
I bought it around the DAII release and it seems like a big sync.
Anyway, will keep using till it shows me it's purpose. I feel like it's on a mission.
I've been layering this with the respective kolonia before I work, it's made a noticeable difference with how quickly I am able to get my creative work out, instead of just staring at a blank page all day.
Brings me a feeling of positivity and ease and comfortably energizes. I notice and appreciate the beauty of nature around me and feel uplifted in a gentle comfortable way that makes this feel so versatile.
It’s been 40 days and I believe it’s been a pleasant success! Especially before working on painting projects and focused art creations. You know I almost forgot about how I’d been using it, but looking back on journal entries, there’s indeed been some really positive connections!
And to add, I saw a white capped sparrow for the first time yesterday. He was hanging out near a large pile of sticks I’m creating a backyard easel out of. ✨😃✨
When I heard Austin Coppock mention the Spica offering from Sphere and Sundry on the Astrology Podcast, I was immediately drawn to it, as I have always loved this star and its greater constellation. At the time I was enjoying a lofty Jupiter on Sun transit that was coming to a close, and while it had offered great gifts to me, my luck dropped out abruptly during the astro melee that was April. I found myself at great heights, about to close $11M in contracts I’d been working on for months, only to be flung to great depths a week later when news came that I would be laid off in July.
In the midst of that wave, Spica arrived and I anointed before every Star Ruby ritual for a week. With it came a swelling urge to close my contracts with finesse and exactitude, knowing my work quality would say everything worth saying. And indeed, it did thanks to this offering. I think I might’ve let the whole thing blow up out of spite, without this benevolent friend at my side. Right before layoff notices were going out, I was notified that I would be keeping my job. It was a whirlwind month but I had the edge I needed to finish on top, thanks to this lovely offering.
Spica is so excited to tackle your to-do list with you. She's so excited about it that maybe you're not actually going to sleep tonight. You're in the zone! Let's declutter the whole house! Let's reorganize the pantry!
I've learned my lesson. Spica is a morning friend. Under no circumstances am I getting her involved after 2 PM.
I have worked with this oil in a diffuser and also anointed the body with it a few times and it's helped me focus on my astrology studies, and even led me to find a class that aligns my various interests perfectly. Spica has a clear vision for the ways I can combine my skills and talents and put them to use, and a plan for helping me get there. I am inspired to trust in this materia in a way that I have not been before with others. It's exciting to feel like there is someone helping me in things I haven't even articulated yet.
I added this oil to some paint and redecorated my narrowboat with it. I have just moved on and need to learn many new practical skills, plus learn all about navigating rivers and canals. It's given my boat the an aura of quiet confidence and I find I'm able to just get on with new things without stalling through self-doubt, and that I want to do everything properly, with attention to details that make the finish more beautiful or high quality.
Although I love her lemony scent, Spica does not seem to be very helpful if I wear her. A couple of times, I've noticed that she really amps my ability to be unkindly critical of how others do things. (Downsides of a Virgo Mars!)
But she DOES seem to love doing art projects with me. Since Spica came into my life, I've been doing a lot more magical art. My sigil practice is totally revitalized—and my sigils get anointed with Spica oil. I find myself hunting down local art stores, making sure I have poster-board and piles of markers. And will I be making Spica-anointed protest posters? Yeah, probably! What's interesting is that visual arts aren't really my specialty. I'm more of a poetry and knitting person. But Spica loves projects and has opinions. Ask for her help if you want to be surprised!
This stuff comes on strong for me! My experience has been that it is excellent for creative work and collaboration. I’ve also found that I need to make sure not to apply too close to bedtime as it gets me jazzy!
I've been using this annointing oil before I teach, give talks, or in other ways interact with others. It brightens and empowers my interactions.
Suddenly things are aligning and great opportunities keep falling in my lap. A road has opened by Spica and it feels delightful. The oil is subtle, but from consistent use in conjunction with other forms from this series, I am blown away by the changes in my life. I am getting incredible opportunities at work. Things in my personal life are better. Unfortunately I did fall physically ill for a bit of time, but generally this has been a period of taking care of myself better than I ever have before. And this isn’t placebo effect because I have no idea why this influence would specifically encourage me to take better care of my physical health. This isn’t Asclepius, this isn’t slightly keyed to Hygeia like CapII - it’s like Spica has come to help me see how I have a bit more agency than I thought I did and even if my efforts don’t go perfectly, even if what I do doesn’t make my chronic health issues disappear, it’s significant and accretive to still make changes.
I wrote in the incense review that Jupiter and Venus materials tend to leave me feeling intoxicated and leads my ideas to be sort of bigger than reality, but Spica feels more grounded. I can see the rainbow-array of possibilities and weigh each one, try them out, etc. Plus, I feel generally more at ease since using the oil and incense. Feels like it could be worked with often like Jupiter in Cancer for a stronger baseline.
The oil looks very beautiful, it has a venusian feel, definitely feels like holding something precious in your hand! I have been attracted to wearing more rings with real gems lately as well. I am using this oil to gain mastery of new skills at work. It gives you a sense of confidence, authority, and respect, and hopefully it will help me attract wealth, prosperity, and good fortune too!
