What Day Should You Burn an Orange Candle?

Orange candles are best to burn on Sundays because they’re associated with the Sun. But, unlike blue or purple candles, there’s no particular god that’s associated with them. Some have associated the color with Demeter or Ceres as she is the goddess of the harvest.

Personally, and this might be just me, orange has the playful confidence, like all of us have when we’re at our best. To that end, there feels like there’s a touch of that Mars energy within this eye-catching hue.

Some think that orange candles are associated with Leo, because Leo is associated with the Sun. But, I think orange has more of that get up and go Sagittarius drive.
