[glow=red,2,300]Astrology Oils
These oils are very useful in rituals when astral candles are used to represents individuals. When it comes to using the astral colors in ritual, there is a difference among several authorities as to the color used. basically, you have a primary color and a secondary color. The famed voodoo queen Marie Laveau listed the astral colors for those born under the sign of Pisces as blue, the primary color; and green, the secondary color. Another authority suggests the astral color for Pisces as pink, the primary color; and green, white or black, a secondary color. Still another authority gives the color white as the primary color for Pisces, and green as the secondary color. In this instance the basic rule is: whichever authority you place the most confidence in, use their colors for the astral candles as well.
In making these oils, use only one herb or flower listed for each of the zodiac signs, following the same technique as given previously.

There is an oil called Zodiac Oil which is used to anoint astral candles in ritual. This one oil which can be used for all the zodiac signs, but in this case, when your dealing with the different signs, it is better to make the particular oil using and herb or flower associated with the zodiac sign or its own planetary ruler.
<Plus ...I think you get more of a bang when you make your own stuff>
Once again, use one of the flowers or herbs to make your oil. To make a potent astral candle, simply powder a little bit of another herb given for that sign and mix it in with paraffin of the color for that zodiac sign. Add a wick to it and when the paraffin hardens, you will have a better astral candle.
