Ever wonder why Aquarius is an air sign, even though its symbol is the water-bearer? When Uranus was first viewed in the late 1700s, astrologers rushed to assign a constellation to it and Aquarius seemed fine enough. But Aquarius has a primordial connection with Saturn and with that connection comes some Saturnine affinities that are decidedly airy rather than watery. So it’s fitting that this sign with the watery symbol should be an Air sign.

Aquarius is the 11th house in the zodiac, and its season falls in late winter, from January 20 through February 18-20, with dates varying slightly. In tarot, Aquarius is represented by the Star and its color is sky blue or light blue.

Aquarius is independent, intelligent and analytical, sincere, with a strong sense of social justice and deeply concerned with the welfare of humankind. This sign believes in getting things done and has a knack for connecting ideas and seeing patterns in the bigger picture. Aquarius is open-minded, nonconformist, and frequently visionary.

Because Aquarius can become so focused on big ideas rather than ordinary ones, they can be seen as being aloof and distant. Aquarians need clear communication and can be obstinate, though usually in the need for good, rather than for selfish reasons. Aquarians favor intellect over emotion.

This purchase is for one pair of hand dipped beeswax ritual candles.

Do not leave candles burning unattended. Do not burn near children, pets, or flammable materials. I recommend burning on a plate style candle holder to catch wax drips or any bits of herbs that may burn.  Keep wicks trimmed to 1/4 inch to ensure even and efficient burning.

Our candles are crafted for ritual use. We do not add any artificial or synthetic scents and feel that the natural smell of beeswax, herbs, and resins are best suited for magickal purposes.
