Bougie de sorts et de rituels Balance 30,5x3,2cm – Faite à la main, 25h de combustion

Libra, Balance & the Scales

Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and is symbolised by the Scales.

Its symbolism centres on balance, fairness, relationship and the weighing of different perspectives.

Within modern Western astrology, Libra is often associated with:

• harmony and diplomacy
• relationships and partnership
• beauty and aesthetics
• fairness and justice
• communication
• balance and perspective

These themes make this Libra astrology candle particularly suited to rituals around relationships, decision-making, reconciliation or creating greater balance between different areas of life.

The scales are also commonly linked symbolically with justice and impartial judgement.

Astrological descriptions are broad archetypal themes rather than fixed statements about an individual’s personality.

Venus & the Element of Air

Star Child associates Libra with Venus and Air.

Within astrology and Western esoteric practice, Venus is traditionally linked with:

• love and connection
• beauty and sensuality
• compassion
• giving and receiving
• pleasure
• prosperity

Air traditionally represents:

• thought and ideas
• communication
• reason and understanding
• visualisation
• knowledge
• perspective

Together, Venus and Air give Libra a ritual character centred on connection, thoughtful communication and finding harmony between different needs.

References to opening the heart chakra belong to contemporary metaphysical traditions rather than scientifically established effects.

Magical Infusions & Ritual Intention

Star Child describes its zodiac candles as containing magical infusions made with herbs gathered from corresponding areas of the Glastonbury Zodiac.

These collections are traditionally prepared in alignment with seasonal, solar and lunar cycles and form part of the candle’s symbolic magical character.

As a spell candle or ritual candle, Libra may be used when working with intentions such as:

• restoring balance
• improving communication
• reflecting on relationships
• encouraging diplomacy
• making a considered decision
• exploring beauty, creativity or self-expression
• working symbolically with Venus

The candle itself does not create love, harmony or prosperity automatically. Its flame and symbolism provide a focus for intention while practical action remains important.

How to Use Your Libra Ritual Candle

Place the candle securely in a suitable holder on a stable, fire-resistant surface.

Before lighting, decide which Libra quality you want to explore — perhaps balance, fairness, connection or clearer communication.

As the flame burns, use it as a simple visual focus while considering what action could bring greater harmony to the situation.

You might hold an intention such as:

“May I see clearly, communicate with grace and choose what creates true balance.”

Let the ritual support thoughtful action rather than replace it.

Candle Care

For an even burn, Star Child recommends allowing approximately one hour of burning time per inch of candle diameter.

Keep the wick trimmed to around ¼" to help reduce smoking and excessive dripping.

Keep the candle away from draughts and store away from direct sunlight to help preserve its colour.
