FAQ about the astrology of my SoulMate Candles

Here is a FAQ about moonpowered candles:
If my husband and my astrological signs are not compatible will the benefits still be as effective?

This is an excellent question, and is really several little questions all at once. I will limit my answer to the issue of moon poured ritual candles in particular. I choose to pour Soul Mate or Love candles during Sun signs and Moon signs that are compatible with each other to capture that energy to benefit my clients, regardless of the sign they or their lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife is born under.

For example, one of the best Western zodiac combination of signs for lasting love is Taurus & Scorpio, another is Cancer & Pisces. The idea of pouring the candles during the compatible signs is that the best possible energy to ensure the outcome you prefer, combined with regular use & application of the enclosed affirmation will help you heal your mind and heart so that love more easily comes to you.


The astrology of the people in question does not have an impact on the effect of the candle. It will of course have an impact on the nature of the relationship between a couple. This difference in Sun signs does not give a complete picture about a coupled relationship as the placement of the other planets in the birth chart is very important.


Here is a good question about Ritual in general:
Should a protective candle burn before a love candle?

My candles are intended to be meditation tools and/or focusing tools in general. Because they are not intended to be "Spell Candles", they are suitable for use at any time without performing any additional rituals such as a protection ritual. However, your intent and your magical lineage is the best resource for clarity on a question like that. From the point of view of certain Western Mystery Traditions, a protection ritual is required before any magical work. Often an invocation is not only the start of magic, but also of most all prayer in any tradition.

I do enclose an affirmation with each candle I make that is specifically written to help you with your prayer or mediation. I also include instructions for their use, but it is your intent that makes the candle an effective tool

Blue Moon Poured Blessing Candles - Chakra Candles

I am pleased to offer these Blue Moon poured Blessing Candles for sale. There are so many different energetic aspects to this small collection, I hope you will bear with while I try to cover the most important points.

First, my intent in pouring the candles is that they empower you to bring about Blessings of every kind. You may use them to offer blessings & prayers for the benefit of others, or to open your heart and mind to receive all the abundant blessings availalbe to you right now. This intention honors the very powerful day on which they were poured.

These natural wax pillars were poured during the Full Moon of 5/21/07. This year, this day marks the celebration of the Enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha. Called Veshak, or Saga Dawa, there are many fine articles available on the web for your review. Here is a short article on the importance of the Full Moon in candle pouring.

While there are many different ways to see the world, some cultures hold the view that we are really in a mulit dimensional reality, and that everything is really happening all at once. Many validate the idea that words, or rituals, or even moments in time, sacred days, accumulate power because they have been honored, or celebrated by many peoples for thousands of years. I believe that these ideas are valid... and they affect the timing of all the candles I make.

The color was also a careful choice. I allowed the pure, almost dazzling, crystalline white of the palm oil wax to shine as itself to represent purity, illumination & of course, the sacred. The candles are tipped in red to honor the union of earth and air, or flesh & spirit, the oneness of the divinity in the material of every living creature.

The astrology of the day, Sun Gemini, Moon Scorpio is also very interesting in that we have Air & Water, or Spirit & Emotion, Mind & Heart, vibrating in the planets that light our world. I will update this post with more information in the near future.

Richly scented with a synergy of Nag Champa & other earthy & floral fragrance, these candles are also useful tools for healing meditations to open the crown chakra. As always, a unique affirmation is included on the tri-fold lable that also offers an the date, astrology, fragrance name & a few helpful suggestions for candle ritual
