Storm's Weekly Breakdown for Sept 4, 2023 – Sept 10, 2023

Overall, the first week of September looks bright. On Monday, before Jupiter turns retrograde in Taurus, he trines Mercury β€” inspiring us to take an introspective look at our goals and big-picture objectives. This is a great time to explore all the options available to us and make informed choices.

Business opportunities could also be in the cards. iStock 1028489262

However, I recommend you wait until Mercury goes direct on September 15th before signing any documents. Later in the day, Jupiter turns retrograde in Taurus β€” a period of reflection and refocusing our goals to match our current needs. Taking some time now to review your plans could help ensure they are still aligned with your life’s journey.

On Wednesday, we hit the middle of the Mercury Rx cycle, which started on August 23rd when Mercury went retrograde in Virgo. Normally, when the Sun and Mercury meet, it's a time of lots of chit-chat and planning for the future. But since Mercury is retrograde, this is your chance to have some 'me' time and assess the changes you've gone through since May, when this aspect was last around. Use it wisely to figure out if there are any tweaks you want to make in your life. Now's the time to course correct if you need to!

This weekend is packed with potential, as the Sun trines Jupiter, one of the luckiest and most positive days of the year. Harness this energy to help you reach your long-term objectives or try something new that expands your horizons. Embrace this opportunity to use your creative thought processes and make good things happen! Just be aware on Sunday morning when intense feelings may arise due to the Moon opposing Pluto. Acknowledge your emotions, but don’t let them overpower you.

How To Change Your Life

May2023 FullMoonIt is the end of Mercury Retrograde in Taurus and how impactful it was! However, we're not done with this energy yet. Mercury has gone direct, and still, this energy is encouraging us to reflect on what we have learned during this time of change. Some of you may have awakened to some realities about yourself and the physical world.

What is not working? Is the question that seems to be reflected in the collective consciousness, so let us address that.

It is important to have an understanding of yourself by being "radically honest" about the ways you may have been operating in relation to your personal development. Now is a great time to apply yourself and be steadfast in the commitments you have made towards your long-term growth and freedom. Hold yourself accountable for the ways you may have operated out of alignment with your authenticity and do some course correction. Start by being mindful of your mental disposition.

How do you talk to yourself?

Sometimes we can curse ourselves with our own negative perspective. Cultivate an energy of encouragement and catch yourself in the moments you may feel defeated. Changing your perspective is pivotal to changing anything within your environment, and sometimes, a little delusion is healthy. Focus on the possibility of having it all work out for you; continue to work with the energy of abundance, instead of the bleakness of your current reality.

However, your new life will not be created overnight.

Understand that anything worth having requires diligent work, dedication, and consistency. Keep in mind why you are making different choices in your life and believe in the power it has to create a world for you to thrive! Our behaviors are wired in our psyche and it is important for you to slow down and see how you have contributed to the current state of your life.

Go within and BE DIFFERENT!

When it comes to working your magic, that means you have become aware of your innate abilities to transcend and be victorious in whatever you do; there are tools and resources available to assist you on your path in understanding the power you hold within. As you journey through change, know that you are not alone. We are all changing every day, by the second, and taking the initiative to be responsible for the causes you make in this world is a great accomplishment. Congratulations for realizing how powerful you are!

At Candle Wick, we take great pride in providing a safe space for others to be free in their authenticity. We understand life and the idiosyncratic expressions of the human existence, so you can be yourself, no matter what that looks like. In the realm of metaphysics, working with the elements of nature is a great skill to practice in cultivating your innate abilities. Our specialty is candle magic and we are here to help guide you and ensure your success through the chaos.

We curate our candles with deliberate intention and recommend products such as the Aunt Jacki’s Ultimate: Uncrossing candle to assist with giving yourself leniency and grace in the mental process. If you struggle with low energy to get things done, our Blessed Herbal: Energy candle will do the job when you feel like you must chug three expresso shots to get by. Dorothy Morrison’s: Outta My Way candle will help you remove yourself from the situation so you can see the possibilities available to you on your path. Finally, the Astro Magic: Curse Breaker candle will cut through the negative debris and illuminate your path with clarity and foresight.

Whatever your β€œthing” may be, we have the resources to assist and always remember you hold the keys to unlock your full potential. You, my friends, are magical!

Be well, good humans and Godspeed.

Featured: World Magic: Ganesha and Lakshmi candles and Astro Magic: Neutralizer spray for Mercury Retrograde.

May2023 FullMoon

Tis' the season of opulence! 

 
The New Moon Eclipse in Aries is urging us to release and surrender to the infinite possibility of what it means to start fresh. This is a moment in time to release all of your burdens, surrender what you cannot control, and let the energy of prosperity flow in with ease. As we work to release ourselves from the debris of outdated constructs, we can also take a look at our goals and how to be steadfast in our actions towards success. A level of trust is needed from within to work cooperatively with the Divine, so lay down your burdens and follow your heart as you walk into a new season of abundance! At Candle Wick, we offer a plethora of magical tools to assist with setting you on the right path to manifesting a prosperous year. Our Lakshmi and Ganesha candle works wonders in removing obstacles from your path while opening the floodgates of heaven to fulfill your heart's desires. Also, Mercury went into retrograde in the Earth sign of Taurus. Retrogrades are times for us to slow down, re-evaluate, and reflect. This time around, retrograde season is asking us to slow down and re-evaluate what we value in our relationships and business endeavors. With the residual Eclipse energy and a retrograde transiting the cosmos, we can feel quite uncomfortable during this time. Balance the energy with our Mercury Retrograde 'Neutralizer' spray from our Astro Magic Line. Our sprays serve as a practical application to energy work, when burning a candle is unfavorable. Get the tools you need to work this energy in your favor, and ensure your ultimate success.

January's Feature Product: 4 Points Trading Candles

Four Points Candle Co. is a small woman owned company from California that began in 2016. They specialize in making the most realistic scents possible that bring back memories of home and happiness. Like many candle companies they had the humble beginnings of the kitchen in their own home, recreating scents from their own childhoods to help tell their daughter stories from the past. These candles are small, but mighty with a 45 hour burn time from the small four ounce size. These candles are made with an all natural soy wax base and a cotton wick for a slightly cleaner burn and a strong home filling scent. While this brand is still small and growing larger every day, they have started to branch out from just candles with the new reed diffusers in the same nostalgic scents.

Four Points Candle Co. is a candle brand that blows minds with every new scent. From common scents like Roasted Marshmallow and Georgia Peach to the wild like Fruit Loops and Motor Oil, they hit the mark every time. Since we at the Candle Wick Shoppe started working with them in 2018, we’ve experienced scents from the weird to the delicious. Some of our favorite scents are Orange Juice, Georgia Peach, Peanut Butter, Rose, Tobacco, and Leather. Each one brings us the memories of our lives and leaves us feeling a little better.
