March puts us right smack in the middle of the Pisces season. The energy of Pisces tends to be misunderstood and blamed for many of the less desirable behaviors we can indulge in. Namely addiction, fanaticism, and dysfunction. Also, cultures tend to define the meaning of the sign through their own lenses.

We are in Aquarius season right now and that keeps us in our heads and focused on the goals we have set to improve not only our lives but the world as a whole. Set your goals, create the plan and plot out the opportunities you will open in your life to manifest these improvements.

The year 2020 brings opportunity because so much will be changing. Doors are always opening when there is a lot of flux, so take full advantage of it. The season of the Capricorn began December 21st but is prominent in January posing as the wiser, older brother.

Did you ever wonder why the holiday season is all about peace and good will towards men? Well, it’s because the holidays begin during Sagittarius season. Sagittarius is all about optimism and the belief in a better world. So, you can see why everyone is in such a good mood and willing to let go of their hard-earned money to purchase gifts that will be opened in 10 minutes.

The season of Scorpio is upon us. Even though this sign is associated with the 8th house of death and regeneration and is known as one of the three negative months in the mystical kabbalah, Storm wants us to remember that we can use this energy to transform or let go of what no longer serves us.

You ever look around at your life and say, “What the hell happened?” I know I have! Sometimes we are so busy with life that we don’t stop and take a moment to really see where we are or what we are doing. Even the way we think can bring on issues or roadblocks that we weren’t looking for or needing.

Libra is considered the signs of relationships and in every practical sense it is. Although pop astrology tends to focus on love relationships, the sign of the scales governs all relationships, even relationships with our enemies. But what is the undercurrent of Libra?

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.

It’s that time again. Time to plan what you will add to your inventory for the upcoming holiday season. Consider adding candles to enrich the various celebrations that occur this last quarter of the year. To get you started I have listed a few celebrations that incorporate the use of candles, their date, descriptions and a few candle suggestions.

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.

Whew! Half the year is gone! The first six months of the year has brought successes, challenges, and changes. Now it’s summer (in the Northern Hemisphere). The barbeque grill has been used for awhile now, at least it has in my house! So what do you want the rest of the year to bring you? Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like you have entered into a routine that you can’t seem to break? Are you waiting for a change to come? Are you ready for Mercury Retrograde? Motor City HooDoo VanVan candle is what you need.

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.

The realest battle that we may ever endure, is the one within our own

hearts and minds. A friend recently, described her own healing process as

“a spiral”. This resonated with me. Often times, we spin around repeatedly,

revisiting old wounds and the obstacles that have been created as result

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.

One of the goals of Coventry is to create tools that support self-healing. In addition to our candles, oils, and sprays Jacki and Patty have written books which give us introductions and instructions for transforming our mind, body, and soul to a healthy state.

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.

“April showers bring May flowers” they say. It’s normally muddy, grey, rainy, and the temperature is not consistent. This April weather can be tricky, especially if you live in the Midwest like I do. In some areas the month of April is a betwixt and between month; it’s not really cold, but it’s not really warm either.

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.

Happiness is not some great mystery. It really is a choice that we claim for

our lives. Counting our blessings and all that we have to be grateful for

daily, is something that I have found to be hugely, effective in keeping my
