Candles can appear yellow or discolored for a variety of reasons. This can be due to exposure to sunlight, fragrances, and overheating the wax during the melting process. It can also occur due to oxidation of the dyes or fragrances. Additionally, certain types of wax can discolor faster than others. This is especially true of paraffin candles, which can turn yellow if they are exposed to UV rays.
The color yellow is associated with abundance, wealth, and prosperity. In spiritual terms, it is also considered to promote wisdom and mental clarity. It is believed to encourage a strong connection to the solar plexus chakra, which represents personal power and self-confidence.
In addition to its uplifting and motivating qualities, yellow is known for stimulating creativity. Light a yellow candle while working on a creative project to help inspire you and spark new ideas. During Leo season (July 23rd to August 22nd), it can be beneficial to use yellow candles to manifest joy and protection, since Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is in its exaltation.
Candles that are yellow in color are often used for healing, meditation, and spiritual cleansing. They are also associated with the color orange, which encourages ambition and helps us broaden our horizons. When you feel like your strength is running out, meditate with a yellow candle and imagine yourself reaching your goals and dreams. You can even write down your goals on a piece of paper near the candle and place it on top of the flame to help motivate you.
