Thankfully, we had an astrological break in August from the intense energies that occurred in July. However, and there is no way to sugar coat this, September is as difficult as July was. There are more than a few unsavory aspects that will make our collective skin crawl.

After an incredibly turbulent July, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. August is calm and there are only two difficult aspects, but there are several good ones that we can take advantage of throughout the month. Now, Leo is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac (along with Scorpio) and pop-culture astrology sites use keywords like self-involved, attention seekers, prideful, egotistical, and narcissistic to describe the sign of the lion, and these are at times valid descriptions.

We have 104 candles, 56 oil blends, and 15 sprays, and wow that is a lot of magic to choose from. What is even a bigger task, is guiding you toward the best product for your situation. We know because we get asked all the time, which candle should I burn? Which oil or spray should I use and how do I use it? As much as we think our stuff is self-explanatory, we realize it is not.

We’re going to rip the bandaid off fast. July is by far the most difficult month of the year. With the help of Coventry products and faith in yourself, you will get through it. We’ve got two powerful potent eclipses and Mercury goes retrograde.

At some point during a girl’s night out we get to complaining about our problems. We all have that one situation we just don’t know how to handle and we reach out to our best friends for insight or a big ‘ole shoulder to cry on.

In June we transition out of earthy Taurus into airy Gemini. This is the season of the mind, communication, learning and being in the now. Gemini has been considered a flaky energy but this is simply not true. This sign of the intellect is capable of processing so many ideas that focusing on one thing just wouldn’t do.

When you are under psychic attack you need to address it right away. Whether the attack is purposeful or a case of jealousy or anger gone wild ignoring it and hoping it will go away can leave you open to some very uncomfortable times.

This month we plant ourselves firmly in the earth with Taurus. Taurus is mostly known for its ruler ship over money, however, there is a deeper side of Taurus that is lost in our quest for material resources and objects.

Mary, our sales goddess, asked me to write an article on why Coventry Creations Candles work. I thought what a great question. We leave so much to trust and faith that we miss out on an opportunity to learn why something works.

In April, we are turned toward the mirror and given the opportunity to face our personal negativity again and decide what we want to do with it. It truly is a time for growth on many levels.

When making a candle purchasing decision, we often wrestle with whether or not we want beeswax, soy or paraffin. We also wonder if a candle made with essential oil is healthier than a candle made with fragrance oil.

Lots of opportunities for personal work in March. With the Sun in Pisces, the sign of endings, this is a great month for cord cutting, letting go of dysfunctional behaviors, connecting to the past in order to heal it, and communing to the spirit world.

It has always made sense for us to work in a sacred space because we are very aware of how energy carries feelings and ideas. So we wanted to make sure we were making the candles you will burn for love, prosperity, protection and spiritual enlightenment in a space that just oozes joy, hope, love, safety, and worthiness.

We poured extra batches of Happy Home Blessed Herbal candles this month because we all can’t seem to ignore what’s going on locally and nationally. The sun moving through Aquarius and Pisces is the reason. The planets want us to see the big picture and sometimes it’s not a pretty one.

Yep, things have changed. The time for frolicking and play makes way for responsibility and accountability. So, be an adult. Pick up after yourself, put your stuff away and get ready for 2019. There is no way you can avoid this part of life without causing yourself pain in the future.

Growing up most of us were inundated with visions of love that were based on people and things outside of us. Most of us were shown that love is based upon what someone gives to another person. One of the closest ideas that love begins in the heart is the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

Kissing 2018 goodbye. It was a rough ride for many of us. Between personal issues, family issues, social injustices, deciding on how to be a warrior for peace without actually going to war. Navigating the highly charged emotional waves of society made me want to stay home under the covers many days, but I didn’t; I set a shield of protection around me and showed up every day and I’m glad I did.

Samhain is the sabot when pagans celebrate the cycle of death and rebirth, the end of the harvest and honor ancestors and saints. As the season’s change marks the end of the growing season and the beginning of the season of sleep or dormancy so does the way of life.

Every October we get the opportunity to do something very special for our ancestors. Why not do it in style? Have you ever put up an ofrenda for your dearly departed? In Detroit, the DIA displays ofrendas created by local artists.

I’m a sensitive person, and being in a haunted house can be extremely jarring. The vibration of some earth bound spirits can be so dissonant that my stomach flips, I feel my ears pop and get a headache. I know that I’m picking up on their pain and its rough, which leads me to think, it’s this rough for me, how is it going for the ghost? As I get over my physical and emotional responses, I wonder, what can I do to help? As a spiritual counselor, I’m really wondering what can be done to help heal the ghost so they can be at peace and move on.
