Zodiac candles are traditionally burned to strengthen personal intention by working with the qualities associated with a particular astrological sign. Burn the candle for your own sign when seeking greater alignment with your natural strengths, or use the sign of another person when focusing prayers or spiritual work on a relationship, partnership, or shared concern.
For relationship work, two zodiac candles may be burned together—one representing each person—and dressed with the appropriate oils to encourage understanding, cooperation, attraction, reconciliation, or another clearly stated intention.
Cancer is intuitive, nurturing, protective, and deeply connected to home, family, and emotional security. Those born under this sign are often sensitive to the needs of others, loyal to those they care for, and guided by strong feelings and instincts. Burn the Cancer Candle when seeking greater protection, emotional healing, family harmony, stronger intuition, a deeper sense of belonging, or the ability to approach a situation with compassion and care.
For deeper results, use in conjunction with Cancer Oil.
