Burning scents reminiscent of our favorite baked goods and cozy fall activities happens to be one of my favorite seasonal past times.
Whether you're into Ayurvedic healing, aromatherapy, or just taking pics of pretty candles to put on your Insta story, we can all agree that filling our spaces with inviting scents changes our mood and vibe for the better.
Discussing the scents we like and dislike can be polarizing, which is exactly why finding the exact right one to fit our personality is vital to awakening the innermost part of our spirit.
Mystically speaking, candles have been used in the act of manifestation for centuries. With spirituality and manifestation being a bigger topic than ever nowadays, we're all being urged to close our eyes, believe in what we want most in the world, and use those that belief to infuse your hopes and dreams into the candle that will then push your positive energy out into the universe.
Leveraging your place in the universe as told by the zodiac calendar, this is the scent that will assist you most in your manifestation journey:
Aries (March 20 - April 20) — Sephora Collection's Unwind Candle
You don't like any frills, so the Aries in our lives wants something that gets straight to the point. Inhale the warm, woody vanilla notes in this candle and let the highly sensitive side deep within you come to the surface.
Taurus (April 20 - May 21) — Crane & Canopy's Signature Scented Soy Candle in Vanilla Oak Candle

Everyone knows the Gemini in their lives to be one of the most outgoing and social people in their lives, but the warm sandalwood notes blended with cozy jasmine and salted caramel set Gemini into a Brazilian sunshine trance, brought to you by Sol de Janeiro's iconic Bum Bum Cream.
Cancer (June 21 - July 23) — Vitruvi's Woodsy Essential Oil Kit
You are uniquely emotional and your mood can shift with the slightest change, which is why you one singular candle probably isn't best suited for your changing needs.
This Goop-loved brand's stone diffuser's fit perfectly with your conservative, homey vibe and the woodsy scents in this collection of essential oils are just the grounding you'll want.

Libra (September 23 - October 23) — FVITH's Velvet Moon Candle
You could seduce a rock with your undeniable charm, and this candle is equally universally-loved. The chocolate wafer-esque scent doesn't have the fake waxy scent a lot of candles tend to — the depth of fudgy brownie and chocolate croissant notes mirror your incredibly passionate nature.
Scorpio (October 22 - November 22) — The Spa Girl Life's Radiant Love Candle
Your passionate personality has extreme depth to it, as do the rose quartz crystals this candle comes with. The aptly-named scent actually smells like love, which I didn't know had a smell till I burned this one myself.

You're one of the most ambitious and disciplined signs in the zodiac, Capricorn, which is why this luxuriously addictive and highly-curated blend is ideal for you.
