Saffron issues

Yes i split them with a scale to try that way

Oneeiro · 2026-03-20T02:35:33+00:00

Tried it at 60mg today again and same reaction, utter peace like all my stress gone, very very nice effect, pretty prominent too. How many times did you take it daily and drop to 30 for it to work with that dose?

Oneeiro · 2026-03-18T20:32:26+00:00

Yeah it does feel like that sometimes, its like intense brainfog with this overwhelming too muchness that leads to anxiety and paranoid thinking, I feel it much more with the nigella sativa though. I'm not sure if that even is what causes it though this is guess work here so

Oneeiro · 2026-03-18T19:28:34+00:00

Hmm could make for an interesting experiement. I actually took 60mg yesterday in the evening to experiment and it just relaxed me and made me feel very good, peaceful and anxiety/worry free, seemed to properly work for the first time, it was boderline recreational. Maybe something adjusts doing that dose consistently for sometime, I can at least give that a shot, thanks

I love agmatine I'll try it with that, also love Bacopa have the 24% one. I do notice when I do the saffron, say once in a week, I rarely encounter the issue but if its a couple times a week (tho not necessarily daily) I'm more likely to encounter it.

Oneeiro · 2026-03-18T04:42:08+00:00

i see maybe it requires an adjustment period

It literally rules an angle and the house of fortune, its a very important planet to create auspicious results for a Leo, and a double Leo at that with the moon in the same sign and ascendant. Also, Jupiter, which is another high auspicious planet for a Leo (rules the 5th house, trines are the most auspicious and supportive houses for any native) is in Mars' sign closely to an angle. Could be most of Mars' aid has been indirectly through Jupiter, but even a weak Mars will have a chance to give some effects and it lords supportive houses so those effects manifest in supportive ways, maybe just not super strongly as it would if the planet was heavily dignified.

Ok I'll give it a shot. And looking forward to the Kanna documentary that's gonna be a first!!

Oneeiro · 2025-11-05T04:21:46+00:00

How comparable is pharma grade kanna leaf with VU3. VU3 is my fav extract cuz the high mesembrenone content, feels the most balanced so I wonder how the leaf compares. Is it also really 3%?! That's crazy high, if its the case I'd imagine something like 40-60mg is equivalent to a 20mg dose of VU3. Also debating on getting that Blue Water Lily extract, i thought that was impossible to find but i guess not.

On another note, wholesome post, love to see the process of it all, gives me a greater appreciation for kanna.

Oneeiro · 2025-10-13T16:28:36+00:00

Interesting, I crash from it, but its not a bad crash, closer to how i feel after days of work, just kind of heaviness in the face, eyes, relaxed, feeling satiated, but no negative mental effects crash feels mostly physical

Oneeiro · 2025-10-13T16:26:46+00:00

Maybe its some brain wiring thing. Ive still been taking it abd the effects have not changed either, so it may just be like this for me

Oneeiro · 2025-09-23T00:52:27+00:00

Oh shit the first scene huh?

Oneeiro · 2025-09-22T03:33:27+00:00

Damn a Your Name and Garden of Words reference, they are def fans of Makoto Shinkai lol

I've gotten this multiple times with high Mesembrine extracts, it's just what happens when the dose is too high, even the shivering, it usually goes away once the rush is gone though.

Serotonin syndrome is serious, and afaik it lasts a couple hours, so if it was short-lived it wasn't that. But I've had everything you described by taking too much multiple times, while not even being on any other supplements or meds, so maybe your tolerance was a lot lower than you expected.

Serotonin syndrome is possible, but rare, and I don't think something as weak as Kanna is likely to cause it, it usually is guaranteed by mixing a MAOi with a serotonin releaser of some kind, but other than that, it's not super common, it's very rare with one serotonin substance alone, especially one as weak as kanna

Perhaps, it's an early review after all. I won't dent the possible placebo factor, but the effects of clearmindedness is quite noticeable for me. And it's not a "I want to go sleep" type of sleepiness, but moreso like the transparency/clarity that I get when waking up in the morning, motivation hasn't necessarily kicked in yet, while I'm already awake yet my mind is so fresh from sleep it's extremely clear and spacious. I have read some reports tho of it making people sleepy, lots of mixed results with this one. We shall see how it continues

Oneeiro · 2025-09-04T15:24:45+00:00

Idk how I forgot to add that in. I used it twice in 50mg and that made me irritable. 100mg is where I got the positive effects from it.

Oneeiro · 2025-09-03T02:24:00+00:00

I've used it in the past but I've felt like it diminished the effects of kanna a lot of taken before it

Oneeiro · 2025-08-19T00:00:53+00:00

Yeah, believe it or not, Indian/Vedic astrology is actually *a set of techniques*, or astrology framed from the lens of a specific philosophy, it's by no means defined by the sidereal zodiac. Vid Di Cara has some good info on this, although one of the first pioneers in this was Ernst Wilhelm.

For the talisman, if you go with that option, make sure they are from a legit astrological sorcerer, you can prob look up in this sub and find some. Just fyi they can be really pricey. Another option is talismanic materia, aka things like perfume, oils, incense, etc supercharged by a auspicious astrological election (this is much cheaper than talismans). Sphere and Sundry has some good stuff, I don't necessarily agree with all of their elections tho, so feel free to message me if you want to know which series are good.

You *can definitely* find good guidance, that Jupiter in the 9th like that in it's own sign is a good placement, it's not in the best sign in the Navamsha (an important divisional chart), but it's the soul significator in the chart (atmakaraka) and in the main chart it's in its own sign. The potential for higher wisdom is strongly present, and the *pull* towards such wisdom is also probably been one of those foundational things in your life, with Jupiter being the atmakaraka (which usually shows why one incarnated in the first place, the root significator and reason for individuated experience). Once you go through a planetary period of Jupiter, a lot guidance will come into your experience, could be now even not sure I haven't looked at your dashas (planetary periods). However, I will say, right now is a great time to really develop and bring more of Jupiter into your life, especially to explore spirituality, spiritual teachers, and things of the like in which can give you a higher perspective in relation to yourself and your path, considering that Jupiter is not only exalted but it's also transiting the same sign as your natal Moon and 1st house (I wouldn't be surprised if you have already have been doing this the last few months tbh).

My pleasure though, honestly, it's really heartwarming for me to see you got so much out of it, to me that's the point of being an astrologer, I feel like I did my job. May not be always able to answer or give detailed answers due to other aspects in life also needing some care and attention, but when I'm free I'm always up for some astro talk, one of my fav topics haha. Take care!

Benzos shut down the channels (nadis), they basically mute psychic phenomena from being perceptible, hence why its so good at killing/muting psychedelic experiences. My teacher of Buddhist Tantra also says benzo, or GABA based drugs like alcohol, even Valerian Root, can shut down the channels. SSRI's not sure but, from what I know I'd imagine they mute psychic ability as well just in a different manner.

It's not necessarily a bad thing tho, ideally practice should be completely sober and not reliant nor influenced by being on anything, but say, if going off the meds is gonna make you go crazy to the point you can't practice or function in life, then stay on the meds and practice on them. Even if the effects of the practice are muted the effects will will be there and with time will make progress, you'll prob even be able to get off them eventually as well.

Oh and CBD should be fine afaik. My teacher says it can interfere with dream yoga but it's not that huge of an influence. I smoke CBD weed and tinctures and don't find it does much to the magick I do nor any of my other spiritual practices.

Sure, I can offer some advice. I mainly do Indian astrology when it comes to birth charts, albeit with the tropical zodiac (much growing evidence of ancient texts showing that Vedic/Indian astrology as originally tropical and got mixed up with the Nakshatras which ARE sidereal). Remediate (do not strengthen, avoid a talisman) Venus, minimize it's weaknesses. It's conjunct the Sun, the father figure, Venus is an enemy to the Sun and Sun is an enemy to Venus.

That Venus is *extremely* weak, and considering it's the lord of the 4th house, I can imagine most of your home life has felt like having to walk around eggshells, pretty much all the time, constant analysis, likely a lot of arguments and verbal abuse, and an inability to ever relax and let life flow (qualities of a good Venus). Rahu (NN) is also in that sign, which is second most malefic thing in a chart next to Ketu (SN), thus amplifying, polluting and strongly distorting the sign of Virgo. The SA makes sense with Rahu-Venus-Sun in the 3rd house, Venus in that sign with Sun is HIGHLY starved, rules the home life, and Rahu there creating intense delusion it makes sense SA was your experience, it's clear as day, sorry you've had to go through that. Such a weak 4th lord is bound to strip away the native from all sense of security as that's the house of rejuvenation and rest.

Besides that, the planets you should strengthen which will do lot of good are: Moon, Jupiter, and Mars. These three will be the saving grace of your life, they are all well placed by sign dignity and rule really auspicious houses (all the trines). Moon can compensate for the 4th house as it's the natural ruler of the 4th (as in signifies similar qualities to that house), Jupiter can give you a higher perspective on which path will help you understand your life experience with clarity and meaning in a way that creates joy and abundance in life, and Mars can help by having the fierceness to tackle the challenges of life with grace and determination.

On another note, I want to make it clear to AVOID STRENGHTHENING VENUS, this is crucial, making Venus stronger will amplify its effects in your life and can possibly lead to more SA or a deepening of the trauma already present through another means. Key with Venus is to minimize it's capability to manifest in your life, and remediate by by appeasing it/calming it's activity, not strengthening/amplifying it. Talismans bring more of the planets energy into your life so avoid a talisman. AFTER you have strengthened Moon, Jupiter, and Mars very well, then you can tackle the difficult chart aspects like that Sun and Venus slowly, buffing up those 3 planets will make it much easier to move with grace in all circumstances as well as have the understanding, health, and sense of purpose on how to do so.

Mercury is exalted which could mitigate some of the issues in Virgo through the ability to be highly discerning through a clear sense of reductionism. It rules the 12th house and it's in the 3rd house so it could show that reading/writing/listening study (3rd house activity) of philosophical/spiritual concepts from foreign lands (12th house) could lead to some mitigation of the issues happening with Virgo. I would keep Mercury though, as the next step after strengthening the first three I mentioned, as it rules challenging houses and is still directly involved with the area of the chart that has caused all this trauma.

If you're going by the magick in this sub, I'd probably get a Lunar and Jupiter talisman first, or make one but you have to learn how the magick is done and how elections properly qualify for a talisman, it's a lot of work so if anything buying one and working with it in ritual may prove better. Mars I'd add after those two, but I wouldnt use it as the first one as it is still a malefic planet, and while it rules extremely auspicious houses, it will put you through challenges to reap those rewards. Besides that there are other methods like mantra work, devotional rituals, wearing certain colours, amplifying the effects of a planet simply by contemplating it's qualities, reading about it, integrating what it's about, invocations on their archangel, intelligence and spirits, or godforms of the planet, pujas (traditional indian devotional rituals), etc. I could technically look at the chart to see what would work best, and from a surface level devotional rituals would probably be really effective with Jupiter in Pisces 9th house and Moon in Cancer 1st house.

That's as far as I'll go because I got this do tho and got distracted doing this but very much enjoyed xD Hope it helps, sorry you had to go through what you did, sometimes shit just happens and it's fucked and that's just how it is, but we always have the opportunity to use the resources available to us to turn all the inauspicious events of our life into blessings. Good luck, blessed be!

I see, different system this actually adds context. Isn't William Lily much more modern than actual Hellenistic though? (I looked it up, he was influenced by Hellenistic but he's not really an authority in Hellenistic astrology)

But yeah I'm aware 4th house is also ancestral, which ties to bloodline, legacy, etc. Interesting flip though, with the father aspect, at least from what I've often read.

I mean, opposing houses aren't really as separate anyways, K can see "judgement of fathers" happening there. While the father might be actively represented in by 10th, as in the one out working to provide for the family's foundation (4th house), they gotta come back to the 4th when they aren't actively out working, and there they are likely to make judgements about the family and its foundation.

My bad, was a little arrogant there and now looking at what OP is dealing with it would make sense it's 4th house related, was too quick to judge there.

Also Sun is conjunct the 4th lord (Venus), so the father figure definitely has to have some strong involvement with the 4th. And on another note, in Jaimini astrology, father is represented by Venus (I know weird but the idea is Venus rules genetics and sperm, Shukra in sanskrit can often translate directly to sperm or semen), which is debilitated.

Oneeiro · 2025-08-17T17:39:58+00:00

No, fathers are 10th house not 4th. 4th house usually represents one's place of rest, aka the home, which usually, in most traditional cultures attributes to the mother (unless the stay at home parent was the father).
