Key Features of the Birthdate Candle
Birthdate Candles are handpoured in small batches in the United States. They're made from all-natural soy, coconut, and apricot wax with a cotton wick. These candles are 13.5oz and have a burn time of 60-80 hours, which if you ask me, is how long any birthday should really last. Each label and scent is custom made for all 365 days of the year. If you love astrology or just want to do a deep self-dive, this candle is perfect for you.

Reading Your Birthdate Candle
Birthdate Co. works with a team of astrologers and master perfumers to develop the perfect star-sent message and scent for each day of the year. By combining astrology, numerology, and tarot, your Birthdate Candle creates a beautiful message personalized just for you! The label of your candle can be a little intimidating if you're an astrology rookie like me- so, let's break it down.
• Astrology explains how the alignment of the planets help influence your behavior and personality.
• Numerology is the belief of how numbers have influence over us and events in our lives.
• Tarot cards are an age-old practice used for fortune-telling!
I was born on July 29th, which makes me a Leo. The front label has your sign, ruling number, ruling planet, and decan, which splits your zodiac sign into 3 parts depending on when in the zodiac term you were born. Aside from the too-accurate personalized label, each day also has a custom scent designed by professional perfumers. My scent is a combination of rosemary, chamomile, and shea, which resulted in the perfect light floral that smells just like a summer day.
The back of the label goes into further detail on your ruling planet, ruling number, (which is found by adding the days of your birth together, being born on the 29th means my ruling number is 2+9 =11!) and tarot reading. Reading the label helped me discover a lot about myself and was a great in-depth dive to the world of astrology and spirituality!
Birthdate Candles: Final Thoughts
Reading my candle helped me discover a lot more about myself and my planetary rulings. The light floral scent filled my room without being overwhelming due to the natural fragrance oils.
