Take care of yourself and those close to you

As we move further from the cold gray of winter and through the soggy thaw of spring, the golden glow of the summer sun with its healing warmth awaits just around the bend. Cancer season is a time when we can soak up not only the penetrating rays from our brightest celestial neighbor but also the near medicinal energy of this powerful water sign.

It’s about time you allow yourself some playtime!

But isn’t May Gemini season? And isn’t Gemini season about ideas, exchange, and learning new things? Yup! But Gemini is also connected to eternal youth. So, while it’s important to take the opportunity to improve yourself during this time, it’s also okay to let your hair down and have a little fun!

April: An Astrological Cake Walk

When life seems to be throwing one thing after another at you, it’s nice to know that at least the planets won’t be piling on. From an astrological perspective, April should be a fairly easy month to navigate.

Everything Awakens in the Spring. You Can Too.

The promise of a fresh start is just around the corner as the Sun moves into Aries on March 20th. After a long winter of cold weather and personal challenges, the first day of Spring also brings the Astrological New Year.

A Much-Needed Break to Make Much-Needed Changes

February ushers in a relative period of calm after the flurry of activity and energy of the previous months. While it might be tempting to simply sit back, relax, and let fate take you where it may, it’s actually the perfect time to work on yourself.

Don’t put off until tomorrow what you should do today!

Out with the old and in with the new! But what will the new bring? That’s for you to decide and with Capricorn season upon us, it’s time to take charge, seize the day, and carve your own path.

Looking for a change? Now is the perfect time to start.

November was a time to leave your past where it belongs: in the rearview. Now it’s time to look beyond the here and now to where you want to go and what you want to be when you get there.

Time to leave the past in the past

This month, not only are we faced with an eclipse in Taurus, we’re faced with the problems of our past. We’re not talking about some cheesy Hollywood revenge film here. We’re talking about confronting our past with help, support, and (of course) a little bit of magic.

Last month we focused on finding our destiny. This month it's all about putting that plan into action. This moment of building is not only about building your future or professional desires but building self-care into your life. We make time for the things that are important, now it's time to make yourself important! After a year and a half of panic, refocus your attention on yourself, your inner peace, and building new habits to sustain that peace.

What do you want to be when you grow up? This question is as nerve-racking at the age of 5 as it is at the age of 35, and really, who totally grows up? With this month in energetic Leo, discovering your destiny is powered up by your sense of self-worth.

It’s ok, it’s only evolution. Things are starting to look a little different at Coventry, our Blessed Herbal candles are getting a new party dress! Next year will be Coventry’s 30th year of making magic and we are showing the love to our cornerstone product by celebrating everything that made it so powerful.

Life keeps getting better with happy chakras! Knowing this is why Patty and Jacki created the Chakra Magic line of candles, sprays, stickers, and now, jewelry. Too often we repeat “OMG, something is wrong.” When you hear yourself saying that over again, it’s time for a chakra shift from miserable to happy.

You may notice a few changes happening at Coventry. We are coming out of the life-changing events of 2020 and celebrating with a refresh of our core product lines. Starting with the Motor City Hoo Doo products, there is a new exciting label that is inspired by the way you use our products.

I AM is a very powerful beginning to any statement and is the superpower of Aries season. With your I AM statement you are declaring your story and your future, use this power wisely or you may end up creating a future that is not ideal.

What if creativity was the end of your process and not the beginning? What if everything that you have been experiencing is to feed your creativity? What a freeing thought! Creating from what you know and have experienced is the hallmark of many epic classics of music, words, and paint.

Share, don’t run with scissors, play nice, and do your work before you get recess are basic social norms that, as an adult, we need to be part of a healthy community. Cooperation is one of the first things we learn in school, yet, this is also something we can quickly forget when our boundaries, beliefs, and values are challenged.

Dear 2021,

No pressure my friend. I know you are following two seriously messed up years and there are a lot of expectations for you. Please don’t worry, I’ll be here with you all year long. We will do this together, month by month.
