Zodiacal Oils Questions and Answers

Amy_S · Unread post by **Amy_S** » Sat Mar 21, 2009 8:36 pm

I'm interested in eventually starting my own business, and I could use some advice (and possibly links and suggestions on books on planetary and zodiac work) on which oils I should work with in order to raise the chances for success in this venture (and possibly order, if the places where I get the supplies still won't carry them by the time I come up with a business plan).

I can't buy everything, so I could use some advice on what the best choices would be on a limited budget. Currently my eyes are on these formulas-

Capricorn, Scorpio, Leo, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, and Pluto.

I'm half tempted to just buy the all-purpose ones, but I have a feeling I'll need something more specific for this.

Hi Amy,

A few questions, first:

1) What kind of business are you starting?

2) Why you are drawn to the specific oils that you listed above?

3) Why you would choose planetary/zodiac oils for this work, versus, say, more specifically business- and prosperity-oriented formulas such as Prosperity, Money Drawing, Wealthy Way, Crown of Success, etc?

That said, if your heart is truly set on using only zodiac/planetary formulas, you have a number of options:

1) Use oils of planets which rule things that are similar to the focus and nature of your business (Mars for construction, mining, manufacturing, etc.; Venus for beauty-related, fashion, luxury items, etc; Mercury for information technology, coffee houses, travel planners, etc; and so forth).

2) Use oils of planets which rule prosperity and increase (Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Venus).

3) Use oils that correspond to your zodiac sign (especially if you are a sole proprietor), and those of your partners (if you have them).

I'm wondering how fellow hoodoo practitioners use Lucky Mojo's line of planetary and zodiac oils in spells/rituals. I use my zodiac sign oils to anoint my astral candle for certain rituals and use different planetry oils on corresponding color candles for certain effects. Anyone else use the oils for different purposes?

Marcoa,

I often use the zodiac oils when working according to the precepts in that old and valuable classic -- "The Master Book of Candle Burning" by Henri Gamache

I first learned about Zodiac Oils from "The Master Book of Candle Burning," for dressing candles, but have also applied them to wax dolls made to associate with people to be influenced if there are no personal concerns or handwriting samples to be had. Hint: Birthdays are often posted on Facebook.

ConjureMan · Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 6:40 pm

I've used both the plamentary and zodiac oils. I am very much a fan. I've usually used the products in my ceremonial magick, but I have on occasion used them in hoodoo. I think they are a great way to tap into the powers associated with them.

If you employ astrological magick in your work, you could totally use Mercury or Gemini products in conjuction with Road Opener and such to achieve the road opening condition, or get someone to contact you, for example. They are a great alternative to use in conjure and I have enjoyed using them.

I believe some of the formulae used trace their sources back to recipes found in the Old System Grimoires, but I must commend miss cat, because not only are they flawlessly blended, but they pack a great punch

The Master Book of Candle Burning by Henri Gamache (Lucky Mojo sells it) uses planetary oils and zodiac oils in the candle set ups. Usually the planet oil is used for you on, say, a love spell using their zodiac oil on an astral candle. The book outlines rather nicely how to use these candle burning rituals with the oils for desired results. If this is something you are interested in, i'd recommend the book.

I would like to sing the praises of Lucky Mojo Zodiacal Oils! I have the Aries oil and the Sagittarius oil which I bought to dress candles on my ancestor altar. What really knocks me out is that the Sagittarius oil actually smells like my Dad. It's always very emotional when I add this to his candle. It's a wonderful way to stay connected as I venerate those in my family who have passed on as I ask for their continued love, guidance and protection. I have found adding the Zodiacal oils in addition to blessing or holy oil really does lend some extra power.
Thanks Cat & Lucky Mojo for these blends! I recently ordered the Cancer oil as a gift for my girlfriend.

butchcomer, that is such a lovely story!

I have to agree, I love the Zodiac oils too! I have the Virgo one for myself and the Aquarius one for both my son and my boyfriend. The oils smell amazing and you can feel the extra "oomph" they add to the spells!!

What a great gift for your girlfriend too, that is so sweet. I hope she loves it!!

Butchcomer: Thank you for sharing that! I will be starting a really nice new ancestor altar when my wife and I move and love hearing about other peoples existing altars. I also stand by the Zodiac Oils as my wife and I have been buying them and using them for years now... (Aries for her, Taurus for me) They can also be used to help imbibe the user with qualities associated with that sign, if I am not mistaken. Sometimes my Taurus oil amplifies my Taurus-ian qualities a little too much!

Thanks again for the post ButchComer!

Why would I choose them? It's not an either or thing, and I certainly plan on looking in to them as well, but I've been dabbling in astrology the past year or so, so I thought it might not be a bad idea to supplement with them.

1) Cosmetics and toiletries, so Venus seems like an obvious then. Mercury doesn't seem like a bad idea either, since this will probably be mostly an online store for awhile.

2) I have a good feeling about Jupiter, since Sagittarius is my rising sign.

3) Gemini it is. Then again, Mercury rules Gemini...

Thank you for the information.

Yes, I remember that. Gamache doesn't mention carving or inscribing names or personal info into the candles, or even placing photos underneath them. Instead he creates a link between candle and individual by using the appropriate Zodiac oil. I always found that interesting. Of course, I see no reason why a combination of carving info and zodiac oils cannot be used.

Will Lomers · Unread post by **Will Lomers** » Wed Sep 05, 2012 2:44 pm

I read Henri Gamache's New Revised The Master Book of Candle Burning today, and in it he suggests anointing ALL Astral Candles with Zodiac Oil. The color of the candle determines the sign. Now, why shouldn't I use Capricorn Oil on a Capricorn Astral Candle? Is it because the zodiacal formula symbolically includes all of the fixed stars and so is "whole" like a person, or is it a more economically motivated thing?

I guess I just don't get what Zodiac Oil is for.

catherineyronwode · Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Wed Sep 05, 2012 5:58 pm

Its just CHEAPER for folks to have one blended 12-in-one oil, that's all.

Next time I order, then, I'll get a bottle of Capricorn oil for myself and a bottle of Zodiac oil for everybody else.

Thank you for the clarification. It was bugging me.

catherineyronwode · Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Thu Jan 17, 2013 9:21 pm

Just to further complicate things -- in "The Master Book of Candle Burning," the word "Zodiac Oil" can also be interpreted to mean "the Zodiac Oil of the person on whom you are working." That is, it may not necessarily or only refer to the formula called "Zodiac Oil."

I use Cancer oil (I'm a Cancer) to emphasize the good traits of my sign. I can also use it for clients who are Cancers as well, or I wish to bring out that sensitive side of the client.

I would like to know how LM zodiac oil will enhance an uncrossing candle. MaryBee uses zodiac oil to enhance the positive aspects of her sign. I am curious to know if it would work the same way. Will it enhance the signs positive aspects and minimize the negative?

Thank you,
MissKittylovesNanny

aura · Unread post by **aura** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 5:08 am

Hi MissKittylovesNanny,

If the Uncrossing work is specifically for aspects of your personality related to negative traits of the zodiac sign you have then yes, it could work this way. If you're looking to Uncross a set of circumstances or the influence another has brought into your life, it would be less relevant. The zodiac oil in the manner you suggest would best be paired with a Cast Off Evil vigil light.

Blessings.

KittyLove · Unread post by **KittyLove** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 8:34 pm

Thanks Aura.

The candle is for someone else. I burned one uncrossing myself and another person, it left wax on one side. So I tried uncrossing with Libra oil for the other person, thinking that it would have had a better result. Not much better. Then a third again with same oils. It and the other two candles are indicating blockage. The third burned father down but left soot at the top of the glass. While the third one burned I set a vigil to St. Michael and set another uncrossing candle with devil shoe strings. The first candle I set to St. Michael went black at the top. I offered him a gold candle and some wine for his hard work then lit him another vigil. I still have a vigil set for St. Michael and will continue until the glass burns clean. I've been researching LM Cast off evil used with uncrossing. Your suggestion sounds good! I am feeling confident that it might do the trick.

Thank you kindly,
MissKittylovesNanny

catherineyronwode · Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 1:11 am

MissKittyLovesNanny --

The Zodiac Oil and individual Zodiacal oils are used to establish contact with the person. They will not help break through blockages per se.

Cast Off Evil or Run Devil Run may be what you need to force the Uncrossing into a situation that is "stuck" -- while you continue to use the Zodiacal oils as a contact point for the person on whom you are working.

crazycatlady · Unread post by **crazycatlady** » Sat May 09, 2015 12:00 pm

Will using a person's zodiac sign oil on their figural candle along with the oil used in the spell for that oil's intention connect the candle more to that person and strengthen the spell? The spell I am looking into does not call for zodiac oils; I was wondering.

I am not sure if something similar has been asked before, but I couldn't find an exact answer when searching the forum. I purchased Venus oil from the site the other day, and I plan to use it to increase/enhance/bring out my physical beauty. I have been considering purchasing Taurus and/or Libra oils as well, as possible adjuncts to my work. I have Sun/Mercury/Jupiter/Ascendant in Virgo, but Venus in Libra in the 1st House and Taurus Moon in the 8th. Now I understand that anyone can use any zodiacal oil at any time, but because I have these Libra and Taurus influences, I am thinking that it may boost my work a lot if I use those oils. Am I on the right track with this? Thank you!

Side note: I am an astrologer, so thinking about the possible uses of all of these oils is very exciting to me! For example, the 8th house is naturally ruled by Scorpio, thus a person with planets in that house will be able to tap into (or connect with/express) Scorpio energies a bit more easily than someone without planets there. Based on this, an individual could create a blend that increases the effects of these chart influences. I'll give you an idea of what I mean, using my own chart..

Moon in the 8th House (Scorpio, Pluto) in Taurus: blend Moon, Taurus, Scorpio and/or Pluto oils; use to be emotionally (Moon) in control (Scorpio/Pluto) of sensuality and resources (Taurus)

This is one of many possibilities of course! The above planets and signs are connected to more than just emotions, control and sensuality, but it really is fun to think about, right?

Another example, just a random one: blend Sun, Gemini, Aries and/or Mars oils (this would be for someone who has Sun in Gemini in the 1st house, which is naturally ruled by Aries/Mars). They could use it to assert (Mars/Aries) themselves (Sun) in areas ruled by Gemini (communication, social situations, mind, etc). I can imagine that this would be POWERFUL for influencing someone elses' thoughts!

I didn't feel my moving candle spell went right. So I'm going to use a different tactic. Since I'm a Sagittarius and he's a Leo, I ordered the corresponding oil for both.

WhiteWitch81,

Zodiac oils are great and can be used in many ways such as you described. There is a classic book that discusses using zodiac oil on candles along with other candles, it includes Psalms as well to work with it. I think you would enjoy this work:

THE MASTER BOOK OF CANDLE BURNING by Henri Gamache

My other target, the one I’m trying to get out of the picture. Her birthday is on April 20th which is on the cusp of Aries, and Taurus. It made me unsure of what zodiac oil to buy for her, so I decided to purchase both the Taurus, and Aries oil.

WhiteWitch81,

You can mix the oils and use them together for a person born on a cusp. Add a bit of break up oil to it and or hotfoot to send the person away.

Here is a link to cat yronwode's "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" text on Zodiac oils: http://www.luckymojo.com/zodiacal.html

Using zodiac oil is also discussed in a wonderful book called the Master Book of Candle Burning, by Henri Gamache. In the text the author discusses the use of zodiac oil, moving the candles and using prayers/Psalms.
