I'm a 12th House Sun in a solar year, and while I didn't instinctively jump on GSII when it came out, once the thought struck my mind that I not only could but maybe SHOULD work with it, I really wanted specifically this. I ended up getting the oil first when this was sold out, and I ultimately prefer it, but this is as nice as everyone says. Really light and pretty orange blossom smell that I wish wore like a perfume, and its influence is so nice and easygoing. "There's something different about you" kind of materia. What makes me prefer the oil is how gentle that influence is (and how impatient I am [clown emoji]), but that makes this, I think, a GREAT first series to work with for anyone new to S+S and curious about what to try. I can't imagine having an averse reaction to this form in particular because of how light it is. Darkness is a very old friend of mine, and I think GSII has helped, and it's fun to use this after reading the hymn for it so its invocation for sunlight to "rain down upon our crowns" can become a bit literal. Not springing to buy this again after running out of my small bottle, mostly because I think it warmed me up for the deeper work I think the oil is more suited for. Glad I started with a cleansing form of it first, and I'd probably spring for the kolonia if I got another one simply because the form's versatility gives some more bang for the buck, but this is such a glamorous start to solar work! An instant mood boost.

For someone who loves heat (Exalted Sol is an all time fave!), this is definitely a very GENTLE dose of Sol energy, but SO hydrating and nourishing. What a strange way to describe Sol! I do prefer to use like 4-5 spritzes to feel an effect, but to me it seems very hard to overdo it with this water making it very accessible and user friendly. I’ve been using this to clear darker energies after working with Hermanubis and it’s awesome because I feel like I can use it before bed and not have trouble sleeping. And as noted, it’s more perfumey than the other waters so I do notice a light scent on myself afterwards. Love it!

Beautiful, orange blossom-forward solar scent. A soft, bright, uplifting hydrosol perfect for greeting the new day with joy. A reset on Sundays, sunshine on dark days, bright and softly sacred. The heart soars as when the sun reappears once the cloud that obscured it scuds away and, as the skin warms, optimism returns. May hope inspire action.

If you are going to try one form from this series I would highly recommend this form. I ended up getting a larger bottle because the smaller size was sold out at the time and I am so glad that I took the chance. This has been incredible for me! The smell is really great, a light scent of honey and flowers. It's like misting yourself with sunshine. I have been using this on Sundays and at times when I'm looking to feel uplifted and/or lighthearted. It can easily lift me from a bad mood and tends to make life in general more enjoyable. It's like summer vacation when you were a kid. You feel carefree and full of joy! I really love the immediate shift I can feel when I use this hydrosol.

This hydrosol is so uplifting and has been extremely supportive. It’s great for when you’re struggling with feeling low, depressed, anxious, insecure, stressed, overwhelmed, etc. I find I’m more inclined to engage in healthier self care practices and just feel generally overall more motivated to care for myself in the ways I need to, but often struggle to. Super supportive for overcoming feelings of hopelessness, depression, melancholy, and fatigue. Solar energy helps me embody my own self worth which naturally inclines me to take better care of myself. I was born on a Pluto cazimi and Solar issues have always been a big struggle for me, but this medicine is just right for helping with these lifelong struggles. I like the water bc it’s refreshing and not *too* heavy, but also packs quite a punch in its effects and feel. The scent itself is definitely stronger/heavier than most waters, but that seems fitting considering it’s the SUN! Interestingly it seems to have led to even more bonding and affection between my cats and me as well, which is always a plus ;) thank you S&S!

I spray this on my face every morning and it uplifts me so much. The first time I used it I started singing Beyonce's "Alien Superstar" to myself until I finally had to turn the song on! I was really struggling with getting up in the morning and getting the motivation to start my day. Not anymore! I immediately open all of the blinds. I sing to myself. And I have an overall boost of joy. I never want to be without this.

Using this after the kolonia has really helped lift my spirits during the grey winter months.

It is so easy to access this energy, and it feels like a blanket of comforting sunshine. This is the perfect hydrosol to experience as an aura spray as it is so easy to feel it. I was hesitant on the most perfume-like descriptor, but it doesn't trigger any scent issues. Will probably use up the small 1/2oz I got a lot faster than I was anticipating. Perfect for me on Thursdays, but even more cozy and stabilizing on Sundays.

I find this hydrosol especially helpful in uplifting my mood, especially if I'm feeling sensitive, self conscious or heart achy. It's gently warming, inspiring and heart opening. A ray of sunshine.

I pair this with the salve on mornings where I haven't had enough sleep and just feel really tired and unmoved by the day - which is often! This combination works like nothing else to keep me going throughout the day without crashing, on a wave of good steady considered energy that comes from a place of being genuine and acting with integrity.
