The Aerial Queen Subset
Venusian herbs and sakura blossom featured in Sphere + Sundry’s maiden Venus in Libra series: damiana, fenugreek, red clover, plantain, and more, combined with Agrippan correspondences for the fixed star Spica: periwinkle, mugwort, and emerald — ritually fumigated, consecrated, and made Celestial Sacrament in the garden of our Aerial Delight election window.
The Oils were immersed in 100% organic jojoba at the time of creation, before being tucked into 5-months of quiet, restorative beauty sleep alongside Her series sistren.
Consecrated herbs were roused and powdered in the hour of Venus, given additional shimmering adornments of excess emerald and 22k rose gold.
Essential oils of whimsical galbanum, high-femme clary sage, and sundry others.
The Aerial Queen’s offerings call forth a refreshing breeze — worries dispel, instantly composting into refreshing blooms of the mind-heart.
“All is well“ she whispers…
and we believe Her!
Induce emotional micro-vacations with but a drop from a vial, or a soft sprinkling of powder, or a waft of Her intoxicating incense.
Lighten the load…
Live and let live…
Drift upon Her perfumed breeze… away from all but simple pleasures and lovely, subtle delights.
Aerate your state. Take good care. Don’t be so hard on yourself,
and temper everything /anything life throws your way — including other series (via layering).
Take the edge off of external conditions and internal states.
Learn to let go, and to be, and how (be)autiful that **really**, truly is.
and You are.
because — if nothing else —
She tells you so.
and you believe Her.
Draw admirers — allowing yourself the flowers and candy and care they bring.
for you are Worthy.
(of this and far more)
Carry yourself with Her enchanting Grace… Her easy way… Her unburdened cadence.
Enhance your ability to create and appreciate Art, Music, Poetry, and your own Reflection.
Float gently through your own gaze, until discovering the Light of your own Eyes as a jewel more precious than any other — the Hope Diamond that never leaves you.
The Pearl that needs safekeeping from all that is undeserving about this world…
The eyelids a clamshell which hosts the Soul’s divine Flame.
Learn to hold space yourself and others… be kinder… softer… more Libran.
as the Aerial Queen Herself
This Oil arrives in your selection of a 1/2 oz glass vial with keepsake emerald, pressed cherry blossom, and genuine 24k gold, a 10 ml rose gold plated roller, 10 ml **rose quartz** or a 10 ml “flawless glide” steel roller, or 5ml mini vial.
**Note that initially, green agate rollers were available for this series. We restocked using opaline on 2/23/22, which is a better fit for the roller casing. Natural materials have some size variation. If you’re unhappy with how your roller rolls, please reach out so we can send a replacement! Earlier pours of this oil also had 22k rose gold, but they have 24k gold.
Her Incense / Powder is available in your choice of 2 oz bulk pot or standard 1/2 oz vial.
Soaps offered in a 3″ x 1″ disc.
Please note that the loaded herbal components in the spell soaps can make them slightly “scratchy” on the skin, which can serve to exfoliate, or, use your hands to work up a lather and transfer it to whatever areas you wish to wash!
Bath Bombs offered in a 2.5″ heart.
Chapsticks are scented with 100% natural, ultra precious jasmine absolute. Divine if you like that, unpleasant if you don’t!
The Eirene Lip Balm may be a better fit if you’re desirous of a Venus in Libra charge, but with a different scent profile. Please note that refunds and exchanges are unavailable based on scent.
For offerings that provide more scaffolding and support in the midst of navigating difficult scenarios, boundary reinforcement, and active (rather than passive) self-advocacy, please consider the Eirene subset as a better fit for your needs.
For an idea of what the lived experience of Venus in Libra is like, peruse 39+ testimonials here.
Note that Sphere + Sundry’s Incense Powders are designed to be burned *without* charcoal, on beds of premium ash in a firesafe dish or plate. Pour ash, then pat or use a tool to create a relatively smooth surface. Pour the desired amount of Incense Powder into the palm of your non-dominant hand, and use the other to assemble a thin peaked mound, line, or sigil, pinch by pinch. These can be quite thin if desired. The neater and more ridged your shape is, the better it will burn! Light the top of the ridge to ignite.
Taking time to prepare Incense in this way can be a meditative and centering experience, and allows the practitioner to create custom burn times with zero waste. If your line ends up too long, simply use a knife to ‘cut’ the fresh powder away from the ignited portion to use later.

VAD is such a reliable series and has been so helpful. The lip balm is a great addition and works well. The jasmine absolute scent is quite unique as it says in the writeup.
Oil smells lovely. I feel chill with a greater ability to respond to daily annoyances, as opposed to reacting. It creates more spaciousness, so I can take a beat before engaging. Woosah in a bottle for me.
my 3H libra venus LOVES this lip balm. i recently had the opportunity to lead a ritual in my lodge, specifically one for the phoenician goddess astarte. i was brand new to the lodge at the time and a little nervous about messing up, but this lip balm helped me feel breezy, light, and radiant. our ritual script is very shakespearean, so this helped me get into playful and eloquent mindset that helped the ritual flow with ease. this is definitely my most used venus lip balm... chef's kiss!!
It's a lovely and beautiful oil. I also have the incense and powder offerings. I feel like an empress using them. Great to connect with friends, with lovers, being more affectionate, open, honest, and it is very helpful in rebuilding/strengthening any type of relationship.
this is one of my favourite S+ offerings. It gets along with just about any other materia and I just really love the smell. Sustained application has done wonders for perceiving and aligning with my innate self-worth.
This was the Venus materia I tried to help my poor natal Venus and to sooth angst. It feels nice and quite calming, but I think it wasn't the right Venus materia for me. I realise I have to work very consciously with the materia and also see how it pairs with my natal chart. I realise I do have Libra problems, and this was to much Libra for me. I will say that it felt very friendly. Like connecting to others was easy and stress free, but not really warm nor deep, which I suppose is in the airy nature of Libra.
This oil is enjoyable to use and outgoing. I apply it on Fridays and Monday evenings, and also before social occasions, as it helps interactions run smoothly and prevent conflicts. I also have used it to annoint aesthetic creations, and the results drew positive comments from people on its beauty. The oil has also taught me more about the aesthetics of Venus, and I have followed its feeling to decorate a Venus alter with pink roses , white, shells, jewellery, and a green mirror. As I natally already have an exalted Venus, the effects are somewhat subtle in that I am already used to Venus related things going quite positively. The oil has a herbal scent.
This is a divine subset! I began applying it while Venus was in Libra and felt so immersed and sensuous and consumed by all the many Venusian things that I typically enjoy - I was just enjoying them much more. It makes for a very pleasurable time and also increases connection in an airy and gentle way.
Aerial Queen is helpful in a motivating way for me who has mars and saturn in libra in the 5th. It invigorates the positive qualities of the malefics, especially mars, as it is the planet that needs most help from indecision. Best to use if working on art, or other creative endeavors without hesitation!

One of my earliest S+S purchases and longest-running talismanic materia relationships, VAD is near and dear to my heart, because it enabled me to slowly reconnect and own my natal Venus placement. I have the oil (absolutely GORGEOUS bottling and flower placement), incense (beautiful scent and addition to Friday thanks and reflections, and the powder (great for sprinkling in places where folks might need a bit of nudging to get along and connect with one another).
Of all S+S's Venus offerings have offered a different take on her personality and role. In addition to unique intersections with my own natal chart, VAD has felt like the most impactful Venus materia for my introduction to S+S on my spiritual journey, because I only really knew how to motivate myself BY being hard on myself (spoiler alert: it doesn't work in the long-term or short-term without taking its toll). I think this is something that many folks struggle with (ex. overachieving baggage or some unkind upbringing!) but might not connect to an area where Venus could help.
I wouldn't say this series enables me to physically relax or calm down (I use EVII for that). Instead, it aids in figuratively relaxing into my own skin and has been doing the long game in helping me appreciate and care for the body (and person) I am.
Smells like you are living inside the petal of a gorgeous flower! I don’t know what it is specifically but I love it. Everything in this subset smells like a heavenly garden. Magically I get noticed more and have more doors held open and such which is always a nice feeling. I’ve been a hermit lately, mostly just work and home, so I’d love to see what happens when I wear it out and about! I will report back!
The chapstick has a wonderful light cinnamony scent. It’s very moisturizing. I find myself reaching for it often as a balm for my lips and anxious body. I notice a more internal magic rather than external. I feel more balanced and relaxed, ready to take on the next challenge of the day.
This lip balm is so nice to use, it is just as solid as any other lip balm, but also feels softer or even fluffy. I tend to want to use this at night, or when I want to feel relaxed. It smells very much like the body butter and has similar effects. Lifts, lightens the load. The differences in the lip balms is very noticeable. Very happy with this form!
first time using the base series (tried eirene before and suited my sister better). Kolonia, oil and bb. LOVE! the elven vibes were so serious, I took a selfie and laughed out loud like 'who is this!!'. very light and fun to wear, nice way to harness the traditional venus vibes 🙂
The oil smells amazing. I found myself taken by it and feeling it more than Venus in Pisces as I have natal Libra placements. The flower in it just adds to its beauty. It also works as an Aphrodisiac which wasn’t on my radar when I got it.
This soap is the most vibrant brilliant kelly green and absolutely smells like twigs and pine and really potent green parts of a flower stem. I can't quite place the scent, but it isn't floral like the bb and lip balm. It's more of a bitter scent. BUT the soap is glorious and lively and makes me FEEEEEEEL fresh and pretty and bold. I can't put my finger on an actual word that describes it other than QUEENLY. 5 stars 🙂
Smells just like VAD body butter and it's the most wonderful scent ever. It's so jasminey and light. And I had the most magnificent dreams last night after applying for bedtime moisturizer to my lips.
I'm also now using this lip balm in the office until I can get my paws on some Exalted Mercury LP.
Surprisingly, this smells quite similar to the Venus-Fol lip balm, which wasn't the vibe I was expecting. Otherwise, it's very fitting - an olive green balm that's a bit slicker/softer than some others, perfect as a base layer for lipstick that keeps my mouth hydrated, does seem to cast a subtle glamour over my whole face upon applying.
The similarity in smell you're noting might just be florals : )
The Venus-Fomalhaut Lip Balm has genuine blue lotus with sandalwood and red champaca, while the Venus' Aerial Delight is pure 100% jasmine absolute.
My company likes to bring everyone who works remotely to the main office once a year, and then our boss schedules every single second of our day that we're awake. It's exhausting for someone who likes a lot of alone time like I do, but this eases the experience and makes me feel more present and interested in my coworkers. Libra is my 6H, so your mileage may vary, but I love this for work relationships.
I'm thankful for this subset and the ways in which love has flowed into my life since beginning using it.
I do a lot of work with fae, and this makes for an excellent materia for their lighter aspects. That includes influence, glamor and sensual fulfillment. I find it can also help to give healing space in the midst of otherwise emotional turmoil.
So uplifting and connecting! My first use I could feel the trees whispering, and became aware of the birds, all these things I had zoned out of - space and grace and sparkle I had forgotten how to feel
The energy in this series is so good.. extremely good.. Cheerful, happy, social, elegant, classy, glamorous.. If you are new to S+S I think this is the series that you should be starting with.
For Venus Remediation, I use the Aerial Queen incense rather than applying the anointing oil itself directly to my body as I have natal Venus in the 8th house. Excellent for remediation and setting the energy of internal spaces to a more cosy and cheerful atmosphere. As this energy is a very yin one, it feels like a gentle breeze rather than a heavy punch.
As a person born with Venus in Libra, I was very curious to see how this energy is embodied in a magical working. I wondered what sort of effect engagement with this series will have on my mind and body. I distinctly remember the very first impression while opening the parcel - it was as if a magical, gentle air came out of the box and enveloped me. As I held the item, still in its wrapper, even before applying it onto my skin, I felt my whole body relax, as if my nervous system was suddenly put on snooze. It felt incredibly pleasant. The oil, once applied onto the skin, not only helped to relax, but also to maintain calm during a conversation, with an enhancement to clearly see both sides of the argument, acknowledge and respect them. The end result of the conversation, of course, turning out to be more satisfactory to everyone who participated.
I'll be honest- at first I didn't really like this blend. Not because it felt bad, but because when I used it, I didn't really feel any different. I had used it multiple times, both in passive daily wear and in active spellwork, and I didn't notice any huge changes. I was used to things like Antares or SiC that have very strong energies.
However, all of that changed when I started using it before bed. I would put a dab of oil on myself for an afternoon nap. I noticed that I started having strange and vivid dreams, and at night I would fall asleep much more easily than usual. Originally, I was trying to use it in order to have meditation visions or prophetic dreams at the instruction of some spirit guides. Still haven't managed that yet, but the experience itself is enjoyable enough that I'm not gonna complain.
This oil eases unnecessary tensions, social especially. If you are socially drained, it feels nice to pull back and let go. If you are seeking social engagement, it's really easy to connect. I've been using this during a difficult period in my life - it helps bring a little lightness in.. also applying to a scar and have received the comment "healing beautifully" by pretty much anyone who sees it :).
I don't always feel something internal when I wear this, but I can never forget that I have it on due to the amount of male attention I get 😂 Men chat me up like none other and are so sweet, completely regardless of what I'm wearing. I've been traveling solo and honestly it's a nice assurance to know that if I wear this out in public, I'll typically get kind treatment and some nice conversations.
As a Libra rising with Venus in Virgo I was a little unsure of when to apply this materia at first. I was dealing with some exhausting Long Covid symptoms and thought, “Hey, why don’t I pray to Venus to help balance and harmonize the energies, forces and systems within my body?” Knowing that Venus has responsibility over my physical body, vitality and health I thought it might be worth a shot and yes, it was worth it! Working with the anointing oil (along with the salve) really helps to smooth out and soothe the symptoms and flare-ups I experience and is especially effective on menstrual cramps and pain. Definitely an unorthodox use of this materia but hey, Venus in Virgo right?
