Of the three Venus series we offer, as the earth of Venus, Taurus is the most manifest and self-serving. It’s particularly good for promoting the embodiment of Venusian qualities, drawing gifts, upgrades, money, free drinks and food, luxurious experiences, and the company of the affluent. Enhances self-worth and self-acceptance, connects you to your honest desires, and releases feelings of shame and judgment.
Use in magical works devoted to strengthening and reinforcing relationships, promoting commitment, beauty, glamour, self-love and self-empowerment, or other things related to the Venusian and Taurean sphere. Apply before intimate encounters (in non-delicate areas) to enhance the experience.

This was the one that hooked me. I’ve used this personally and amongst many friends all of which had amazing results. The workings in the weird realm and the personal for finding the passion for one’s self is astounding. When people can hold the bottle and pick up the vibes, it’s a winner.
I use this oil specifically to cultivate my Venus to develop larger self-reverence. My Venus natally is in the anorexic degree of Libra. Having a night chart, I desired my Venus to deepen her sense of Taurean pleasure and comfort. And this oil gives me that. There’s a grounding and a confidence to her love. A love that allows me to stay within my boundaries, and be driven by sensory pleasure, and revel in enjoyment, social and aesthetic. I look and feel especially beautiful when praying with it and wearing it – each time. I’m receive adoration.
I love this oil to relax. Doesn’t work as well for me in social situations, especially around certain relatives with giant Aqua stelliums! LOL they didn’t seem to vibe with the sassy/QUEEN vibes I emit while wearing this at all. Because I am currently living with this person, I don’t really like to wear it until alone (which I did for about six months when living in a cabin out in the woods! Which was wonderful!) so this is definitely night-time/evening wind-down oil as of now. Works beautifully for that. Turning an average night into a chill, sensual, indulgent affair.
To my surprise, sometimes this oil will spur me to clean and organize my room/bathroom, so it’s not entirely chill all the time. There’s also a level-headed practical vibe that Taurus is known for. Like, you should clean your body and surroundings so you can FULLY relax without any responsibilities nagging at you. Wonderful for yoga as well, to help get in the body fully.
What else? GREAT masturbation aid. Really turns into a sensual, gorgeous and slow experience. Sad my vial has almost run out for this main reason lol. I just ordered the large size of Empress Body Butter and am hoping to get similar results!
A potent oil. Instantly helps me feel sexy, sensual, and deserving of pleasure. Also smells delicious. Highly recommend!
I love the rosy smell of this oil, better known in my household as “hot bitch juice”. It is deeply bodily, and helps connect to the earthly. At this point I have scored too much free bar food while wearing it to pretend that both the location and the benefits gained aren’t related occurrences under its influence. Thank you Lady for reminding me that luxury is the tactile and practical, not found in Instagram portraits but in kitchen smells, nice bedsheets, and the melting of chocolate on the tongue.
Venus in Taurus was one of the first things I got from S&S and it’s amazing: sensual, sexy, cuddly, and intoxicating, with the power to draw better tips and gifts. A bartender’s dream!
I really love this Venus in Taurus oil (i am myself ruled by Venus ans she is in Taurus). It smells wonderful, and applied on the day and hour of Venus, its impact is tangible and brings one back to her “energies”. In a world where, in my opinion, these qualities are sometimes forgotten, when absorbed in our daily routines, we tend to slowly distance ourselves from her sphere of influence – her “energies” -, this oil is a gentle reminder and a remarquable way of putting one directly in contact with Venus under her Taurus aspect, one of her more dignified aspect… To summarize : wonderful, i love it, and i am more than happy with my purchase, and hope my review make justice to the excellent products of Sphere+Sundry.
I absolutely LOVE the Venus in Taurus oil, and I’m so glad I got some before it sold out! Every S+S product I’ve gotten has been wonderful, but this is my favorite. It’s been great for dressing candles or anointing myself in ritual, and is just as nice to wear when I feel like adding a little Venus to my day. I use it so often it’s nearly gone, so I’m excited for the Empress series to launch just in time to save me from that void. 🙂
Working with this oil has been a treasured ally in my embodiment journey. As a Libra Venus native I def feel cozy to the fairer benefic but have spent much of my adult life out of my body and putting others desires/pleasure/values before mine. I’ve worked with this oil for the past 6 months and have been amazed at how quickly subtle but powerful shifts have occurred in how I relate to my body — not only in terms of self-acceptance but finding myself desirable and truly beautiful, from the inside out. What a gift!
This stuff is powerful, generous, and reminds me that my beauty and sensuality are strengths that deserve to be honored and enjoyed 🙂 Thank you S & S !!!
All 3 Venus oils are instantly relaxing, each in their own unique way, like the touch of a beautiful friend that calms you and opens your senses. Venus in Taurus pretty consistently brings on the sexy times in my house- I put it on and I don’t even have to try (manicure emoji)
The feeling is grounding, embodied and softly confident. I long for the day I can wear it to a party!
This oil is so luxurious. It’s amazing how lovely it feels and smells. This always helps me slow down a bit and truly enjoy the experience of being alive.
Just make sure to use it often, and maybe sing a few hymns now and then. Venus is the goddess of devotion, after all, and the oil tends to go rancid quickly if it’s not “fed” properly.
This oil is so amazing. I bought my first vial and started using it right after the release. It helps me slow down, take time with my loved ones, has helped me with my relationship with my teen daughters. It allowed me to make time for myself which is very hard for me to do. But most importantly it helps me feel beautiful in my own skin even on my worse of days.
This oil taught me how to start slowing down and taking care of myself. A lot on a phsyical level – massages, baths and breaks which were urgently needed. But also how to find friends, stop being scared of connection and trusting myself to be loved.
I got into a cozy relationship quite fast and eased out of it as soon as it didn’t match my path without any trouble, and full realisation how much I’m loved and how much I appreciate my BEINGNESS. Wonderful vibe to simmer down and get the rest I needed! <3
I invited Venus in Taurus into my life on Venus’s day and hour, once she’d returned to direct motion from her retrograde sojourn. At the conclusion of the working, a massive storm blew in, doing no damage apart from taking down one tree, a cherry, considered sacred to Venus! On first blush, I’d say Venus in Taurus is a solid, materially clear communicator. Soft yet strong, loving and substantive. Sublimely gorgeous, of course!
I love to mix this oil with my skincare products. I also use it to anoint my plant containers. I’ve definitely received a lot more gifts since using this oil. It’s really lovely
Smells literally divine! It feels very smooth and gentle energetically, very grounding. My ascendant is Taurus, so it feels centering to anoint with it. This is a daily oil for me.
Bought the three Venus oils together after eyeing them for quite some time. This one demanded to be bought. It is a beautiful oil, to look at and the scent is gorgeous. It helps letting go and just center you in an unapologetic “youness”. I will have to work more with this, but so far, it is great!
I have a very difficult time connecting to my inner beauty and perceiving my self-worth. I’ve always had a hard time claiming my space in this world: an average duckling of sorts coupled with a very predominant Saturnian energy in my chart- I’m very hard on myself.
I started working with the Goddess of Love as I had grown fed up with all of this burden, so I decided to start with the earthliest of essences: Venus in Taurus. She was the one who called on me and arrived when I needed her most.
From the moment I started working with her, she has been a slow and steady balm of badassery and self-esteem. She has attracted so much emotional support and understanding from the people in my life. I use this oil when I need others to perceive me with kindness, and see my true qualities; when I want reassurance that it’s ok for me to occupy the path I walk on. This is the oil that brings emotional support, reassurance, beauty with a steady quality: all things are beautiful, starting with yourself.
This was the series that created life-changing momentum for me; you have to be willing to strip away that which no longer serves. Venus in Taurus oil does not joke around. She wants you to be the Queen you were meant to be and will sever things in your life that do not align with that goal. If this sounds intense, it is! In all the right ways. I was experiencing an awful situation where I wasn’t being taken seriously – I thought using ViT would bring sweetness from those that could provide me with material successes, instead it showed me that I was far too good for them and there was no future there if my highness wasn’t being recognized. The scent is one of luxury, it’s hard to not feel and act like a Queen when you wear it.
So I originally purchased the Venus in Taurus oil and beeswax rose around June of last year, I used the oil whenever I felt like a pick me up or whenever the time was right. Nothing really out of the ordinary happened until I started helping a woman whom I’ve worked with for a few years. Everything was going very well from November (right before her birthday) till around February (right after my birthday) Come to find out during this time we developed a connection like nothing I’ve ever felt before and turns out we are twin flames. So not really sure if it was all the Venus in Taurus or if everything was just at the right place right time. But I’ve now purchased more oil and a few other things. So Taurus might be slow but I can’t wait to see what is in store ahead if this was any indication of the future, thank you Kaitlin, Austin and everyone involved.
Simply possessing this beautifully magical oil makes me feel special. I am mesmerized while slowly turning the bottle to allow the ingredients float from bottom to top and delight in seeing the rose quartz drop further separating the delightful ingredients. Opening the bottle, is another magical experience. The scent is Devine Feminine. When applying Venus in Taurus oil to my heart, I feel my heart center own and visualize green. This oils truly delivers the benefits of luxury and upgrades. Wherever I wear it, I get what I am there for and more. Always satisfying.
As a Libra rising with Venus in Libra, I was curious to experience a more embodied essence of Venus, so I bought the oil. I think it is safe to say I am addicted. If I could afford a tub full of this oil that I could spend all of my days in, I would probably purchase it in excess. The smell is delightful, and the effects are very real. Pre-Coronavirus, I was working part-time in service. I usually receive pretty good tips, but there was a marked increase. I also got more people to spoil me in other material ways (offering to pay for my coffee, free spa day, etc.) But even now, being a bit more stuck in the house, I still feel the beautiful effects on my self-worth, and just love how cozy it makes me feel. So grateful to the S+S team for bringing this oil into my life!
I love this oil. Not only do I use it when I go out to the mall or eat out, but also at work. I would always get fabulous extras be it an additional side or a great discount, among other things. Also, people are friendlier to me. If I wear it to work, I always am offered help and assistance even if I don’t seek it. And they’re happy to do it! I’m on my second bottle and she continues to spoil me, maybe it also helps that I’m a Libra, LOL! Thanks, Kaitlin!
The instructions state, “Apply to the heart center and perfume points to embody the rightful Queen you are, be seen at the height of your glamour and attractiveness, draw admirers, feel at home in your body and environment, and establish a commanding Venusian aura.”
My experience mirrors the instructions 100%. Simple as that.
Venus in Taurus oil not only smells amazing, but feels and acts in a delightfully decadent and potent manner. I have taken to combining Venus in Taurus oil with Regulus products for business and find the two are extremely complimentary. A few days ago I had a business meeting and applied my now go-to combo of ViT oil and Regulus products. My business associate seemed to very much enjoy my company, so much so that a meeting which is normally 20 minutes took 1.5 hours (a great thing!). Afterwards, I went to two stores. At each one, the woman directly next to me in line struck up friendly conversation. This may happen on occasion but both wanting to chat so rapidly is uncommon for me. As the Orphic hymn describes Venus, she is an “all connecting dame” indeed. Hehe, a caveat- both myself and my best friend who purchased ViT oil too noticed extreme boosts in our chocolate cravings. I gave in and have had 2 1 lb See’s boxes in the last 4 weeks. Super worth it! So, side effect may be chocolate over indulgence, but I rather consider that a positive. Praise Venus for She is lovely, loving and *amazing*!!! Thanks again so much, Kaitlin and Co. for making such magical materia!
A tiny bit had leaked into the pink paper this oil was wrapped with. It smelled amazing. As soon as I wore it I had an amazing evening feeling so beautiful and sexy and worth everything! I kept putting on more and more! Soon after self doubt crepted up. I felt really vulnerable and emotional but was able to sit with the feelings of unworthiness and honour them. It felt really real and liberating. An amazing evening!!
Also, I received so much free food I almost didn’t cook or shop for groceries for a week. It was my birthday but I received the most thoughtful gifts from so many people plus free cosmetics for no apparent reason!
I found that when I first started with VinT, one of my first S & S products, it made me feel “sassy and languorous” (wanting to rest, eat, shop for beautiful things and feel entitled to do so – without judgement). Over time, it’s increased my feelings of deserving and allows me to “feed” myself with things that truly help fill my cup to soothe, heal and motivate myself and pursue activities that allow me to feel better, get healthy and look better in clothes and “get my sexy back” literally and figuratively. I’m actually dating again and actually enjoying it after a few years in hibernation. As Beauty is one of my main life affirming, life giving needs, it helps me to embody the feelings of worthiness w/out making it a mental thing, mantra or effort to do so. I’ve decided or SHE decided that she is my main squeeze with others supporting her pedestal and for me she works well with Regulus and Jupiter, and St. E.
I’d had my eye on S+S’s offerings for some time before finally deciding to place my first order. Venus in Taurus seemed like a pretty solid first buy; it’s got some incredible aspects to my birth chart, plus I had some fifth house transits just beginning at the time. Ironically, I placed a second order days later that arrived before ViT, the symbolism of which I found amusing, but even if her transit was slow, her influence was strong, and it became apparent right away.
Within twenty minutes of my package arriving, I received a completely unexpected, unprompted deposit into my bank account as a gift. I also had someone I knew a decade prior reach out to me out of the blue, asking to, ahem, “spoil me”.
Since working with this oil, I have found a more deeply accepting love for myself. I’ve grown a backbone. I’ve discovered where my boundaries lay, and what my expectations in relationship to others are. More than that, I’ve learned that I don’t have to acquiesce my selfhood and self-worth to the fickle whims of others’ desires in order to get a crumb of love or affection in return. I fill my coffers internally and give from my overflow, rather than from desperation. Where I used to chase, I now replace. This is Big Domme Energy indeed.
Venus in Taurus has endeared itself to me in so many ways. Like armor for the too-open heart, she creates firm but loving boundaries that demand excellence in addition to her fair due. She smells of roses and opulence, and expects the same from any would-be suitors. This oil has proven indispensable to my self-love practice and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a boost of the same.
A word of warning, give yourself extra time to get where you’re going when wearing this. I’ve found myself spending exorbitantly long periods of time pampering myself and getting ready extra slowly when I wear Venus in Taurus before social functions or dates. “Fashionably late”, but make it luxury.
Thank you, Kaitlin, for the work you do.
Simply exquisite, the vibration is palpable at first inhalation and a tingle is felt throughout as soon as I put it on. It fully embodies all that Venus in Taurus is. wholly herself. Excellent for remediating where self-love may be a concern.
Delightful is the first word that comes to mind. I feel less worry, less stress, and feel just fun, anxiety free, healthy self confidence that comes from deep within, rather than outwardly pompous. The rosey scent is divine and pleasantly intoxicating, without being overpowering. Use for any social situation or let Venus just lift you up, or just for fun. You’ll be delighted that you did!
Venus in Taurus oil has a marked effect on me each and every time I apply it to my skin. No matter how perfunctory a slathering I’m about to give myself the contact of oil and skin slows down into something deeply sensual and connected, outside of time. There’s a profound sense of some parched corner of my soul drinking in the self loving self indulgent self important ViT energies. I have also used it prior to visits to the stylist to ensure good haircuts, and have used it as an enchantment for improved hair mojo after less than stellar haircuts. In the case of the latter I was spontaneously inspired after petitioning the goddess to create a texturizing Salt and rosemary spray that does magic for my ‘do. I have also used this oil around a scar I have from an ovarian cyst surgery and found that it helped reduce numbness and discomfort in that area, it seems to really promote connection and integration in the body.
The Queen knows she is the Queen! I love this oil. I forgot that I had left a review of this previously but hey, Venus deserves repeat attention. I have been wearing this out to parties and notice I’m more able to take up space and have a confidence of certainty when mingling with people. Worry and doubt take a back seat and boundaries are naturally/easefully asserted. Combining with ViP and Regulus have found me having rockstar feeling moments in parties! It’s now one of my mainstays.
I am deeply grateful for the magic of Venus in Taurus Oil as I am remediating a Venus in Aries in the 12th House. Physically, it makes me less rigid and often it looks like I’m at my ovulating phase when I use ViT. Mentally, it imprints an “I deserve” mantra in the background chatter that is usually full of self-negation. So, this oil has been truly priceless in moving the needle towards more self-love and self-worth. It does slow me down too in a good way. Naps between chores and just slowing down in general. Also, I sort of have a fiery/swordy chart and I do feel ViT helps round out the edges from me to me, and from me to others. It sort of mitigates the effects of burnout with cooling and softening rose and butter. Compared to Venus in Libra, it’s more embodied and languorous and ViL more chatty and social. I’m using it as an all over body oil and hand oil after adding it to a large bottle of organic apricot seed oil. Looking at it is truly divine.
What a beautiful and powerful oil! I love the Venus in Libra hydrosol for social situations, and have been using the Venus in Pisces hair and body oil to chill out at night or relax before I watch a movie/listen to music. I feel like this oil is a whole other experience. I used it last night for the first time after taking a shower and I fell asleep SO FAST. I normally am an information fiend after work as a a way to “relax” (hello venus in virgo), but I was conked out by 8pm AND had fun flirty dreams about a couple of my celebrity crushes. I’m really excited to continue working with it!
I highly recommend VinT oil for shopping. After receiving it in July, I used it occasionally and noticed the following. Every time I wear it while shopping, I unexpectedly find beautiful and unique items for absolutely affordable prices. One time, I found a jersey knit comforter set that I had been looking for everywhere for months (finally!), in the size and color I needed, in style I adored and for the price I couldn’t resist 🙂 I even bought 2 sets, for myself and for my daughter who absolutely loved it. The other times, it was a canvas wall art painting (my family cannot get enough of it!), or clothing for special occasion that I couldn’t have found for weeks, or an out-of-stock item from my wish list back in stock at a discounted price. Will definitely wear VinT oil while holiday shopping this month!
I love this oil so much. I also have the Venus in Libra and Pisces oils, and while Libra lifted me up to new heights, the Earth Goddess oil is by far my favorite. It makes me feel so pretty, and as someone with Venus combust the Sun, I have struggled to recognize my own beauty. I don’t go in for superficial glamour, but Venus in Taurus helps me feel and see myself in new empowering ways. Behold the beloved in the mirror. Simply adore.
Update from my first review, about learning to be more dom-y with this oil: I’m finding that as much as this side of Venus wants me drenched in beauty, and wants me to have everything that pleases me – it’s not in as much of a performative way, as I imagine Venus in Libra may be. I feel this is more of a force of intimacy than performativity.
I went to a kink party with my partner this weekend, anointing both of us, and we had such an intense experience together that we didn’t socialize and integrate into the bigger party very much! And this is pretty consistent with the other experiences I’ve had so far. Looking forward to using it more for expanding the deep inner well of beauty 😉
Every time I apply the oil I have an immediate sense of self affection and a knowingness of what I need to do for self care. However, I have used it at work and found that that self care couldn’t be acted upon while I was there so now I tend to be more aware that my circumstances will allow for self indulgence. I love the little synchronicities that happen when I’m using it too. One such was a Friday after I applied during Venus hour and then went straight out driving. The car in front of me must have been parked under a tree that dropped flowers onto its bonnet/roof. As they drove petals were lifting off their car and and scattering before me!
An early purchase for me from S&S, applied during dates. Wonderful energy permeated those encounters, it seems to bring us the most delicious food and quiet lounge-around-in-a-robe experiences. Delightful.
I purchased this back in July, and wanted to really immerse myself with this product before giving a review.
In my own planetary chart Venus rules my 6th and 11th house. Without bogging this down with too much detail about my chart, I have a weak Venus (3rd house Aquarius), T-squared by both Pluto (12th Scorp) and Mars (6th Tau) and so I thought this would be a good purchase to remediate that.Over the course of using this product I have noticed in increase in the following:
I have never grown my hair out as I have always been self-conscious about it (but actively working on). More people, especially strangers have gone out of their way to compliment my hair or telling me that I look great, even when I feel like i might look a little busted.
My coworkers have been much more amicable and willing to help me with projects or to just flat out do them on my behalf so as ‘not to trouble me’
There has been an uptick of free gifts and sweets from my friends and coworkers ‘just because’.
On the other end, it’s encouraged me to share or surprise people more with gifts and sweets of my own. I’d often think of being generous but never actually follow through, but this has helped to do just that.
Upon further reflection I’ve realized that its increased opportunities to share/receive pleasurable material things or experiences with other people. It’s kept some of my own selfish tendencies in check and made me really reflect and appreciate the people in my life.
More Rose products have been coming to me like drinks, lotions, hair product, I remember thinking this was absurd, but I love it!
OH and the craziest bit, to me anyway, is that I teach a kickboxing class at night as my other job. After receiving this product, the following Friday I had a new student join the class who looked like a blonde goddess. She introduced herself as Freyja, and I could not stop smiling about the synchronicities of all this coming together.
I could go on but I’ll finish with this. This product is absurdly wonderful, Kaitlin, thank you providing and sharing all that you do!!!
This Venus in Taurus oil is the real deal. Within days of applying the oil daily I received an unexpected $300 from a family member to spend on my upcoming vacation that I had been worried about having enough spending money for. A month later I was gifted a car – yes, a car, and not a run-down one, a newer model which was a blessing because my old car had been falling a part and I had no idea how I was going to pay for all of the repairs. Since using this oil almost daily I have noticed that I feel more at peace and more generous myself. People are more pleasant to and I am not sure if that is because I feel like I am nicer/gentler with people due to the oil and in turn people return the vibe. Whatever it is, the bottom line is that the oil makes me feel like a living goddess and at the minimum it serves as a mood booster!
I love this Venus in Taurus oil. When I wear this oil, I notice that people are nicer to me, and they go out of their way for me. I am used to going 100 miles an hour, always have a lot to do, and I am always in a hurry, but when I wear this oil, I notice that I am a bit more calm, and take a moment to pause and enjoy life a bit more, instead of always thinking of what’s next on my to do list. In addition, I feel more confident and beautiful, not in an arrogant way, I just stand a bit taller and smile more, and make more eye contact with people.
All of the Venus in Taurus products are so lovely! There is definitely a contrast for me when wearing the Venus in Taurus vs. Venus in Pisces products. I personally don’t get as much outward adoring attention with this one, but I get more of an internal and sexy confidence and an assured feeling of “getting what I want” . I also notice that I remember to eat regularly with Venus in Taurus whereas normally I’ll go too long between eating meals, so that is a great feeling for someone who flits around all day forgetting to eat!.
I have one word for this oil, and that word would be ‘irresistible’. I possess both the Venus in Libra oil which I adore, and the Exalted Venus oil whose power evokes my awe, but the ViT oil is a different beast altogether in terms of exuding sheer, raw sex appeal and an innate, sensual confidence that just shines through.
I don’t have a super strong Venus placement, plus I have zero planets in Taurus, so I had no idea what to expect with this, and I’ve been gobsmacked with the results in the best possible way. Here are a few different things that happened to me since I regularly started using this oil.
– Being frequently called beautiful or even sexy (!), while simply being out and about at a coffee shop, or a grocery store, or even while randomly running errands.
– Droves of people asking me out at work parties and other social events. During one party, which was decidedly a work shindig, I walked away with almost six phone numbers from people who just couldn’t get enough of me, and were very vocal in saying so. One person literally said “for you, I will do anything, anything at all”, and meant every word. I remember sitting there in incredulity at all the attention, highly amused. Which in hindsight, is as Venusian as it gets, ha!
– Being invited to more parties and social gatherings than I knew what to do with.
– Being on the receiving end of people going out of their way to help me. While visiting a museum earlier this summer, the entry fees for my friends and I were 100% waived by the museum employee at the ticket counter because he simply took a liking to us. I just can’t make this up.
– Another fun detail that I’m noticing in hindsight: 100% of the people I seem to attract with this oil are folks with earth sun signs, or with several planets in earth signs!
All in all, Kaitlin never fails to surprise me in the best possible way with the sheer potency of her offerings, and the Venus in Taurus oil is probably going up there as one of my absolute favorite wares from her.
Using the Venus in Taurus oil has allowed me to step into a more sensual and sexual version of myself. My personal craft has become much more full-bodied as a result, and I have gradually become less afraid of being seen as a sexual being.
Sometimes I apply it before work if I am feeling self-conscious and need to promote some self-confidence and general feelings of sexiness. I also like to use it before meditating as it helps me feel more grounded and present in my body. I can’t recommend it enough.
So far, the main thing this oil seems to be helping me with is clearing out my virgo, scorpio & saturn issues that block me from embodying the “Barbarella” that lives inside me, that my partner has always seen and wants to encourage. Beyond freedom of desire and sensuality though, it is helping me see my fears around being a truly salacious SEXUAL DOM sometimes! Not just doing it to please my partner, but to please myself! I have major blockages just thinking up what I want and taking it. Venus has helped me realize I will need to enlist Mars at some point to work this out. But it’s something I and my partner both want.
I purchased this oil with the intention of attracting money and artistic opportunities. But I guess Venus is showing me what I need first and foremost! (I have Venus in Scorpio, so maybe this is why the oil is starting by helping me unblock deeper psychological issues)
As with everything in the Venus in Taurus series, this oil provides a MAJOR boost to self-love & self-esteem! I feel so good about myself when I anoint my body with it. To me, it’s actually a more ‘delicate,’ less loud vibration than either of the other oils (Venus in Libra and Exalted Venus). In other words, it’s a much subtler energy in my opinion — which is kind of odd, considering Venus in Taurus is the most grounded & manifest — but that is actually what makes it so powerful. The ability to transform, the ability to thrust its way into all of the empty spaces within you energetically, can only occur on the most unseen/’unmanifest’ levels. This really drives home the truth of Scorpio having a presence within Taurus and vice versa. There is a saying that Samhain contains a bit of Beltane within in, and Beltane contains a bit of Samhain; death within life, life within death. That is really something I experience with this Venus in Taurus series! It feels like a very potent pathway connecting the energies of Taurus and Scorpio, and it teaches you how to utilize and work with some of these rather difficult energies. This is not just some toy that spurs superficial, fleeting changes such as receiving a few extra bucks one time; it’s really about learning how to harness and master the unimaginable power of life energy (which is truly our only real resource) in order to create desired, lasting transformations.
Do you HAVE to be receptive to these sorts of teachings and transformations when you utilize Kaitlin’s creations? I’m not sure. I think one could probably use them sparingly for some very basic, short-term changes. But I certainly want my magical items to contain within them the ability to ‘initiate’ me into some sort of greater cosmic power. Therein lies the reason why Sphere + Sundry’s creations are found to be incomparable and priceless.
The first night I wore the Venus in Taurus oil, I was given a free “birthday” shot of excellent tequila by the restaurant manager (it wasn’t my birthday). Later that night, I was the center of attention at a show, which as a large woman is definitely *not* the norm.
I’ve been wearing the hydrosol and oil for client sessions, and it’s much easier not only for me to be in the present moment, but to bring clients with me…and they’re noticing the difference! They’ve been booking sessions more regularly, and even with the current astrological “meat grinder” I’ve had no cancellations!
Ave, Venus!
I have used this oil numerous times this week since I have gotten it. As a Virgo with no Taurus in my chart, a Virgo Sun, and with my Mercury AND Venus in Libra, I generally do not come across as a “Dom-y” individual. I am more like the slight, elfish guy who can grease the wheel socially with my sharp eye for detail, humor, strong communicative abilities, and pleasant demeanor. For the sake of accuracy and clearer understanding for the dear reader, I will also note I am not a “cis male.” I was born female and transitioned as a transgender person many years ago. In general, I have come to accept I can embody masculine and feminine aspects in different times and in different areas of life (i.e., sex, relationships, manner of dress, etc) with confidence, and am comfortable with the feminine aspects or power of the oil. I was drawn to buying it immediately when I saw it was not only a Venus oil in nature but the “earthiest” of those available on this website.
Anyway, since using this oil I have found a few surprising things have already happened in the areas of social situations and what was brought out in me, including unexpected assertiveness and “self-assuredness,” in particular situations.
First, on most days I used this oil I did have a tendency to become prone to languidness and enjoying extra rest or other Venus-ish activities. This led to some needed self care in the form of food and rest-related indulgence, and thus was not necessarily a bad thing. I also noticed I very much looked forward to beauty rituals in general this week when I used this “V in T” oil and the “Bright Goddess of the Skies” oil (I usually use them together) and was sometimes almost excited to do beauty ritual stuff more than usual.
Secondly, I had the tendency to get into random very pleasant social interactions I didn’t expect this week. I sometimes do this anyway since my Mercury is in Libra and I am strongish on the Merc in my birth chart. But this went beyond that and there was an air about these “extra conversations” that involved the sense of either, “well, that went well and I felt self-assured,” or “this is so fun and interesting I will keep spending time talking for fun.” For example, after I finished at work Tuesday, I began talking to a lawyer and his client in the waiting room. We ended up talking for over an hour. It was very random and enjoyable, and I didn’t even care that I was at work an extra hour at the time. I just liked the pure goodness of the talk.
Thirdly, I had a very unexpected, STRONG shot of courage and self-assurance that caused me to bring up key personal needs to my romantic partner. It was a forceful feeling, like, “he needs to know this NOW and my needs are worth it.” This happened on a couple days this week and I was surprised at myself because what I told him on these occasions came about as a result of “a deep sense of emotional revelation on my needs in a romantic relationship and a need to assert myself and worth to him.” I found this very interesting and powerful, albeit a little unnerving because of the strength of so much revelation and reflective thought happening in under a week.
I was concerned about my partner’s reactions because all of that was happening over maybe 3-4 days, but he has thus far reacted with grace and even gave me apologies where it counted. I will tentatively say his initial reaction to me sharing my needs on multiple occasions this week has appeared to be one of acceptance and “he knows who his queen is.” Yet, I would characterize him as much more dominant than I in his usual presentation at the same time.
Lastly, I’ve got to mention mirrors and body acceptance. I have noticed I’ve had a tendency to accidentally fall into staring at myself in the mirror more after and before beauty rituals (like facial scrubs, showers, and the like) while using this oil. As someone who once hated what I looked like as a teen, I have come a long way toward self acceptance and even peace and healthy care for my body. I have felt a pretty regular sense of “I look good, I am not self-conscious about what I look like, and am happy with my presentation” this week, and used the oil on all days I felt like that. I will have to use it more to be sure of consistent results, but the above is very cool in my book just the same.
Overall, I am still in my beginning uses of this oil, but am glad I bought it. I will certainly buy other products from this company and am positively impressed with this oil.
This oil sent a tingle across my entire body the moment it touched my skin. And I know this isn’t a placebo effect, as I have been buying metaphysical oils from dozens of vendors across the world over the past five years. It gave my whole being a wonderful glow and helped me relax without losing focus. I know Austin helps Kaitlin with her work by doing his sophisticated astrological calculations, but I believe there is another aspect of Kaitlin’s creations that makes them stand out. When doing what she does, you have to be able to raise energy and channel it into your creation in a way that stays true to the energy’s origin, which is an ability that is either innate or takes decades of very rigid lifestyle to learn. Moreover, no matter how talented you are, the energy that you raise and put into your creations will always bear a stamp of your own being. And this is — in my belief — the downfall of the majority of practitioners who make and sell metaphysical oils, salts, and incense. Kaitlin, on the other hand, synergizes perfectly the celestial and elemental energies she is raising with her own essence. The result are beautiful creations full of positive vibrations that do exactly what they were originally conceived to do. To give you an example of an opposite experience, I once wore “protection” oil I purchased from a well-known, well-established NYC practitioner and got attacked four times at random on a Manhattan street that day — something that never happened to me either before or after, in any area of any city in the world. I then visited the shop where these wares are made and immediately wanted to get out of there — the vibe was thick with an overhang of decades of rituals that I could tell did not have anything positive at the heart of their intent, to put it mildly. To sum up, I feel lucky and very grateful to be able to buy from Kaitlin. I wish her and Austin continued success in their work, in their learning, and their life in a new home. Their art is making a big, positive difference to my life.
