Not all days are created equal. In astrology, certain alignments create Windows of such concentrated positive energy that performing a ritual within them is like casting a wish into a river already flowing in your direction. September 3rd, 2026, is one of those days.
On this day, Venus - the planet of love, beauty, abundance, and magnetic attraction - aligns with Spica, one of the most beloved and fortunate fixed stars in the entire sky. Spica sits in the constellation of Virgo (24 degrees of Libra in the tropical zodiac), held in the hand of the celestial maiden, and has been revered across cultures for thousands of years as a star of gifts, artistic brilliance, grace, and unexpected blessings. Ancient astrologers considered a Venus-Spica alignment among the most auspicious combinations possible - a moment when the universe leans toward beauty and generosity in equal measure.
This alignment also arrives against a remarkable backdrop. Jupiter in Leo is forming the first of three trines to Saturn - a long, harmonious conversation between the planet of expansion and the planet of structure that will crystallize into something lasting throughout 2027. Whatever you begin building with intention now carries the support of both planets behind it. The seeds planted on September 3rd have deep roots. This is a day for love rituals, beauty rituals, abundance rituals, and the reclamation of anything you have been waiting to call in. The star is bright; the channel is open… make your wish!
Venus and Spica Wish Ritual
GATHER your tools: The Love - Red - Spellcasting Pillar Candle, the Rose Petal Herb Magic Bag, the Aphrodite Redux Anointing Oil, and a carving tool.
CARVE the symbol of Venus into your love red pillar candle, then carve one word that represents what you most want to call in your life.
DRESS the candle first with the Aphrodite Redux Anointing Oil, coating it slowly and with intention, then roll it in the Rose paddle herb magic bag until the petals cling to the wax.
LIGHT the candle as you say, “On this star-blessed day, I align myself with Venus and Spica. I open my hands to receive love, beauty, and abundance in their highest form.”
HOLD the Rose Petal Herb Magic Bag near your heart and visualize your wish already fulfilled - feel it in your body, not just your mind.
LEAVE the candle to burn safely and completely, trusting that Spica’s light is carrying your wish forward.
