The Full Moon in Capricorn occurs on Saturday, June 26, 2010 at  6: 31 am E.S.T. The energy of the Capricorn Moon is considered a “Cardinal Earth energy, and it is considered the most materialistic of all signs in the zodiac. The practical nature of Capricorn binds with the energetic and innovative ideas that come at this time to create something entirely new.

The energy and importance of this Full Moon is heightened because of a Lunar Eclipse on the same day. The next six months will be a learning time on how to use newly found power   nthe proper manner as ti build up and inspire – not destroy – for a better future. The message here is to allow others to expand on their own power and to not feel threatened of new and innovative ideas.

The Full Moon is considered the optimum time to burn candles to reverse a situation, banish negativity and repel the negative energy emitting from others. Reversible candles burned on a plate with your enemies name on a small piece of paper or a Fiery Wall of Protection candle started now will keep them at bay.

Burning candles to cause harm or send ill will towards someone you consider a threat can backfire under a Capricorn Moon – especially if your target is innocent. Do not initiate any injustices or send a spirit of intranquility to another person who does not deserve it – you may suffer a doulble shot of it right back at ‘cha!

The next New Moon will by on July 11, 2010.

The New Moon in Gemini occurs at 6:00 am E.S.T. on Saturday, June 12, 2010. The Moon in Gemini is considered a “Mutable” Air sign. This means the energy for this New Moon fluctuates between the active and passive. It also rules the mind, thoughts and intellect.

The time of the New Moon is a good time to light candles to bring in more money, fast luck, success and love. Gemini is the sign of communication, so making sure you are clearly heard will be a bonus at this time. The New Moon in Gemini is an optimum time to plan and calculate out all your candle spells. It is also one of the best times to meditate ad charge your candles, as mental powers are at their prime.

This New Moon is about looking out for our fellow Man. Make sure to increase the Prosperity and Goodness in your life by making a small contribution to a favorite organization or charity that helps the less fortunate. It is by the Hand of God that you are not in the shoes of others who are less fortunate. A gift of even $5.00 can help a soup kitchen who feed the hungry or cleaning out your closets and donating gently worn career clothes to a shelter who assists others to get on their feet is something that is a charitable act and the Universe will smile on you. Dry cleaning those clothes before taking them in is an added plus! An ol Feng Shui belief is that when you do something likethis, the void left by the old items leaving will cause new belongings to enter your life.

The color of the Gemini astrological candle is orange and the zodiac oil associated with it has essences of the herbs of lavender, dill, mint, parsley, oregano and honeysuckle. The tree woods associated with Gemini are White Balsam, Cedar and Myrtle.

Our next Full Moon will occur on June 26, 2010.

This blog post is regarding the differences in Specialty Candles, also known as “Condition” or “Blessed Candles”. You have all seen these in your spiritual supply or occult shop; these are the ones with the brightly colored and sometimes highly artistic labels that gives the purchaser an immediate idea of the candle’s intention. Some are rather plain, but the more artwork in the label, the more eye catching and appealing the candle. I know people who have purchased the candle for the artwork alone, never intending to actually use the candle!

Imagine it is 4:30 pm on a Sunday and you have just gotten off the phone with a reading or consultation with your personal favorite spiritual intercessor, mentor or just Aunt Sally, the-one-who-know-all. She has given you a list of things to buy or gather together and instructions for you to do. You are going to the grocers, the craft store, the art store, liquour store, smoke shop – whatever – and you forget that the little old candle shop on the south side is closed on Sunday. However, TODAY is the day you need to begin your candle burning spell.

What are you going to do? How do you substitute or change out one candle for the other in a pinch?

Here is a list of basic candles and their colors that you can substitute for all matters of candle burning. While this is not intended to steer you away from buying those candles with the great graphics on them, it is a way to start your candles burning until you are able to get to Sister Jone’s occult shop down on Broadway and 1st Avenue. Worse case scenario, you can get a bunch of votive or taper candles (whichever you like) at the Dollar Store.

Here are candles you can use “in a pinch”:

Attraction Spell Candle - depending on intention, use green glass candle for money, red glass candle for fast love or money luck, white glass candle for general overall attraction purposes.

Boss Fix Candle Spell - use plain white glass candle

Court Case Candle Spell - use brown glass candle or since these are rare to find in the grocer’s, use plain white glass candle.

Crown of Success or Success Candle Spell - (sometimes known as Crown of Glory) use plain yellow glass candle

Look at Me or Look Me Over Candle Spell - use pink glass spell for romance and affectionate feelings. Use red glass candle for pure sex appeal.

Money Drawing Candle Spell - use green glass candle

Prosperity Candle Spell - use green glass candle

Wealthy Way Candle Spell - use green glass candle

Revenge Candle Spell - use any black candle
