I love spraying this on luggage, or at work as needed.

Immediately relieving fears and panic attacks. great companion in breath work for stress management. Perfect to set the stage for focus time or strategic planning.

I have long been cautious / fearful of DAII but finally decided to go slow and **test the waters** after hearing Chani’s rave reviews on the astrology podcast. I used this first only on physical boundaries (averted a potential tenant DISASTER!) before becoming brave enough for the auric spray. After great results have stepped it up to the oil!

This spray worked really well for me, both as a boundary reinforcement/protection tool for myself, and as an atmospheric spray for my DA altar during rituals. I really love how versatile the waters are in general… They’re perfect for a quick energetic shift with minimal effort/cleanup, since they absorb so easily on most surfaces. Also, I want to take this opportunity to gush about Sphere and Sundry’s excellent customer service! My first spray bottle arrived half-empty, I believe due to a defective cap, and they immediately sent me a whole new bottle to replace it. I really appreciate their commitment to their customers, and the process of submitting a help request was very easy and friendly throughout. Thank you, S+S team, for your amazing work! It makes me feel really good to support a company that looks out for their customers like this. And of course, I would definitely recommend this water, as well as DA materia in general. It’s certainly become indispensable to me in my practice.

This is possibly the Sphere and Sundry item I use the most. It pairs well with pretty much anything and serves as a shield to help you go about your day as well as generally making things go the way they would in a perfectly fair world. It also helps promote responsibility in yourself and others. I’m moving into a new home, and one day both my reserved parking spots were taken. I wrote a note for each car (sprayed with this water) to explain that I was moving in, asking the owners to please move their cars and to knock on my door if they did need the spaces before I fully moved in, and within 15 minutes, the situation was resolved in a friendly way that allowed me to meet a new neighbor. Fairness and boundaries in a bottle…

I spritz myself with this whenever I have to deal with any bureaucratic process and have had 0 issues since starting to use it. Even dealt with people who were inordinately helpful, which is wonderful. This is also an anti-anxiety inducing mist that's great for using with other materia that may be more intense. Also great for bathing an item used for warding a home.

This has been inordinately useful in entering workplaces where one needs to appeal to management to be on side, create energetic boundaries with colleagues, and protect one in workplace power dynamics. It allows one to be resolute, to show up, and to be able to inculcate in those who use the hydrosol an attitude to reject enmeshment and let one be. Spray this in the morning before work or - after a shower or salt bath post-work - to create a container for oneself for greater self-possession. It acts quickly, so very convenient.

This review kinda got out of control lol.
Tl;dr - I LOVE IT
I work in Harm Reduction, for those unfamiliar with the term, essentially I help people who use drugs.
Recovery looks different for everybody and a major principal of harm reduction is "any positive change". Whether that's using clean paraphernalia or checking the substance for dangerous additives. As one can imagine our mission often bumps against that of the police.
I've been working with DAII since it's initial launch and I was quite nervous inviting any kind of police energy into my sphere. But let me tell you, EVERY experience I've had with the police has been incredibly fair and productive. I'm a single black female driving around with naloxone, needless and fentanyl test strips and maybe sometimes a little maryj but when I've primed myself with DAII water or have my little jar of bluing liquid, that uncontrollable wave of fear and dread that usually accompanies the sight of police cruisers is muted. The panic and trauma of seeing people who look like me harassed and worse by police is calmed, freeing up brain space to think. And if I must interact with them, I find myself more confident and them much more receptive.
I could go on and on, I didn't even mention how wonderful it layers with Venus materia keeps the creeps at bay lol.
But all this to say, if your spirit has led you to this series, try it! Layer it! And know that you are favored and protected

I only got DA II about a month ago and I'm already half way through the bottle/spray. You can never go wrong with DA and it seems to compliment so many of the other materias. I do psychotherapy work and it helps me maintain energetic boundaries with clients - something a pisces moon like moi can use a lot of. Pretty sure I will be ordering refills for the rest of my life.

Remember the Sta-Puff marshmallow man from the Ghostbusters movie. Deneb Algedi is your Sta-Puff marshmallow coat, warm and insulating and protective. Like a cocoon in a bottle -- so much has happened this year and it feels like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop all the time. And the centipede does continue to kick off his sneakers, DA didn't stop that, but it certainly insulates the blows. Let me explain one recent example:

On Sunday, the first after Black Friday, with packages in my arms, I dropped my iPhone in a puddle, managed to retrieve it and get to the jeep with my packages, only to find I had lost my keys. I left my packages on the hood and retraced my steps, retrieved my keys and returned to the car where my packages were untouched.

But the iPhone? Still on and functional with license and credit cards in its case / wallet intact. When I plugged in the charger, it disabled the charge bay and said it was wet. Several people suggested dropping it in rice, but one friend googled and found out that it was a myth and indeed, more phones are ruined by rice dust than water. So on top of the silica gel packets with a fan and two days later, it takes a charge quite happily.

This is so typical of my experience with DA. It's a karma monitor. It doesn't change life on earth as we know it, but it cushions the sharp edges, and one has a distinct feeling of being blessed and cared for with DA running in the background. Not as other-worldly as Venus, or productive as Aldebaran or Mercury, but a stable foundation.

DA I was my first S+S materia and I thought it would be a difficult act to follow. DA II, with its Jupiterian halo, is even better. Cannot recommend more highly.
