Gemini Zodiac Astrotherapy Candle
Our Zodiac Candles are ritually poured during the Planetary Day and Hour of each signs ruler with corresponding essences in alignment with the qualities and nature of each sign.
Planetary Hours and Days are an ancient yet accessible system of astrological timing used for planetary rituals and prayers, and for the timing of particular actions that match the nature of the planet.
During the Day & Hour of a planet, the areas of life and the natural correspondences over which the planet rules are thought to become favourabale, thus the signs they rule can express easily.
Planetary Days & Hours are also traditionally used in the astrological branch of 'horary', an astrological system of answering a specific question based on the time the question is received. A check of Planetary Day & Hour is used to validate the chart is fit to be read.
A Guide to Planetary Days & Hours
The traditional rulers of the planets are as follows:
Aries: Mars
Taurus: Venus
Gemini: Mercury
Cancer: Moon
Leo: Sun
Virgo: Mercury
Libra: Venus
Scoprio: Mars
Sagittarius: Jupiter
Capricorn: Saturn
Aquarius: Saturn
Pisces: Jupiter
Each of the 7 traditional planets rule over a day of the week:
Sunday - Sun
Monday - Moon
Tuesday - Mars
Wednesday - Mercury
Thursday - Jupiter
Friday - Venus
Saturday - Saturn
The Planetary day begins at Sunrise each day, not at midnight. The day is then divided into sub-periods known as Planetary Hours, during which each planet has it's window of dominion.
When we have a time that is both a planets day & hour, this is thought to give an especially energetically auspicious window to successfully perform taks relating to the nature of that planet and the signs they rule.
The Planetary Hours for the day are calculated from Sunrise to Sunset each day and aren't actually periods of 60 minutes at all! The day hours are calculated by dividing the daylight hours by 12, and the night hours by 12.
