Cazimi Moon Poured Healing Candle -

This Reiki Healing Candle was poured during the Cazimi Moon on February 17, 2007 at 11:15 am Eastern Standard Time. I will begin by offering an excerpt from my 2007 Planetary Guide, "any planet whose center is within 17 degrees of the arc of the center of the Sun in celestial longitude, is said to be Cazimi. Oddly, this is considered the highest form of accidental dignity.... a planet is thought to be very powerful & benefic when Cazimi."

On this day both the Sun & the New Moon were in Aquarius. It is important to mention that from the Hermetic perspective, the Sun represents the Authentic Self, the True face of the Natural Man and the Moon represents the Ego, the Persona, the self we show to the world. When both Sun & Moon are in the same sign (for the purpose of pouring healing candles) then there is an accord, or a a balance that is energetically useful. This is a good time to pour candles for balance, healing, friendship or peace.

The importance of the New Moon is that for creatures of the Earth, the night is pitch black on the new moon. Deep, mysterious & full of unseen possibility. Thus, a new Moon provides us the benefit of both the calm, dark night & the unmanifest potential to make a new beginning. When working to create a new energetic condition, a New Moon is a good time to begin.

To speak a bit about the planetary influences, both luminaries are in Aquarius which is a fixed Air sign. When the luminaries are in Air signs it is a fortunate time to pour for candles for healing the mind. Fixed signs provide stabilizing energy.

This Reiki Healing candle offers the benefits of New Moon Energy as well as the unique & auspicious benefit of the Cazimi Moon. As the purpose of these candles are to provide a support for meditation to strengthen and calm the mind.. as well as to stabilize the solar plexus chakra, a New Moon (conjunct the Sun) in a fixed Air sign seemed the best time. I invite you to visit the Reiki Candle page for more information. I also have several Reiki pages & Energy Healing pages online for your review if you are interested.

Thank you for your kind attention to my blog. Ann George

New Soulmate Candles Poured on Imbolc

I am happy to be able to offer new Soulmate candles for sale. This small collection of deep red love candles was poured on February 2, 2007, a Celtic Sacred day. There are many fine articles available on the Imbolc, so please allow me to refer you to Wikipedia or the Wheel of the Celtic Year for futher reading.
This post will address the importance of the astrology of the day from the Western Mystery Traditon. On 2/02/07, the Sun was in the Air sign of Aquarius, the Moon full in the Fire sign of Leo. Both are fixed signs, fortunate for a harmonious relationship. Fire signs & Air signs generally make good relationship with each other. Both signs are masculine in nature, direct & energetic. In the natural world, Fire requires Air... Air feeds fire, and yet remains itself.
Another consideration for pouring Soulmate candles on this day is that fixed signs usually make good relationships with each other. This occurs because the underlying world view, or value set of fixed signs is one that prefers order, stability, predictability, constancy, and of course.. that things should go as they are "supposed to go". Thus fixed signs will likely not disturb each other with sudden, outrageous changes in plan.
The Full Moon energy exerts the greatest pull on the molten wax that is possible, thus the wax is "attuned" or "vibrates" to that pull. I would also like to restate that when one purchases a ritual candle that is poured with intent, on the most auspicious day in the Western calendar, the advantage is that all the necessary energy to accmplish one's goal is already "poured into" the candle. Thus, you may burn it every day that you want to. The affirmation included with the candle is written to help you accomplish your goal. Now, if you want to further fine tune your own ritual work.. by all means, use the candle on a waxing moon. As well, if you are able to purchase a candle that compliments your birth sign.. so much the better. If you are able to purchase a candle poured when the Sun and Moon are in not only your birth sign, but the birth sign of your beloved, so much the better.
There are several articles on my site that provide more information about candle ritual, moon phases & the importance of intent. Perhaps you would like to subscribe? as a new article on Cazimi moon poured candles will be forth coming.
Wishing you peace, Ann George
