Learning astrology felt like learning to speak the language of the stars. I’ve always been drawn to the spiritual arts, searching for ways to connect with the deepest parts of myself. Astrology became my way of communicating with the universe, offering a map to understand not only myself but the world around me. When I began Wax Crescent, it felt natural to bring my love of astrology into my candle-making—a way to blend two passions into something truly magical.
The Inspiration Behind the Collection
Astrology has always fascinated me with its balance of the cosmic and the personal. I created the Zodiac Candle Collection with two guiding principles: the element of each zodiac sign and the season it represents. The result is a collection of twelve unique scents that celebrate the energy, personality, and mood of each sign.
