Full Moon in Leo February 16, 2022
It’s hard to admit you’ve made a mistake, especially when you were so sure you were right. If you find yourself in a place where you’ve come to terms with your faux pas or worse a blunder of major proportion that was not only embarrassing but hurt someone, now’s the time for you.
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.
FERNDALE, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, February 15, 2022 – Coventry Creations, the world’s leading intention candle maker, continues to keep prices in check and customers happy as inflation tears through the industry. With rising costs throughout the supply chain, many vendors and suppliers are adjusting prices accordingly. As a result, Coventry Creations has made some organizational and creative cost-saving measures to weather the storm.
As part of its record-breaking growth in 2021, the 30 year old company added key pieces to its leadership team. One of the most impactful additions was Operations Manager and lean manufacturing and quality expert, Charlie Lumley.
Lumley, a manufacturing veteran from the fast-paced and efficiency-obsessed automotive industry, brings much-needed experience in streamlining processes for increased productivity, lower costs, and less waste. Introducing kanban and other system improvements, he has enabled Coventry Creations to keep profit margins steady even as material costs continue to increase.
“The timing worked out perfectly,” said Mr. Lumley. “Coventry Creations was having great success and growing fast. They needed to bring people on to help them better manage that success. I came on board and started reworking our manufacturing process just as inflation started to affect our supply chain. So far our improvements have enabled us to stay several steps ahead.”
“We’re running faster and smoother than ever before,” added Jacki Smith, President and Co-Owner of Coventry Creations. “The changes we’ve made have allowed us to successfully navigate COVID, the global shipping crisis, and now this lingering inflation. Not only have we been able to maintain a healthy bottom line for ourselves, we’ve also been able to help our customers keep their costs down by keeping our prices at or near their pre-pandemic levels.”

Astro Magic February 2022
February is a cosmically strange month because there is little going on. Mercury goes direct early in the month. In addition, there is a lovely conjunction between Venus and Mars in Capricorn, and an opportunity to break free from the stagnant energy of the past two years, with Jupiter in Pisces forming a beneficial sextile to Uranus in Taurus.
New Moon in Aquarius February 1, 2022
A thought-provoking statement – “there is no I in team” – finds a home with February’s Aquarius New Moon as we feel the influence of this party animal in our lives. There are quite a few ways to let this energy play out.
Ready, Set, Manifest! Spell - January 2021 Witches Union Spell Card
Before you can manifest what you really want, you have to let go of the inner fears, stagnant energy, and outside barriers that would block it’s arrival. This Witches Union spell takes you through the ritual of letting go of your limits and opening the door to greater possibilities with ways to sustainably manifest it.
20 years ago, the turn of the 21st century may as well have been the turn of the 20th century at the speed of change in today’s world. We quickly forget how life was a quick 10 and 20 years ago; the need to memorize a phone number and actually dial it, the need to look up directions on a map and slow down to read street signs, addressing an envelope to mail a bill payment, or even hand writing a note (legibly).
Full Moon in Cancer on January 17, 2022Drama, drama, drama. This full moon is locked and loaded for lots of it. A Cancer full moon is one of the most emotionally packed moons in the zodiac. Add an opposition to Pluto and Capricorn and you have the Osbournes vs the Kardasians on steroids.
January 2022 Astro MagicHappy New Year!
After November and December, January will be a piece of cake. Of course, there are some hiccups – the Sun conjoins Pluto and squares Uranus, Mars forms a problematic aspect to Neptune, and both Venus and Mercury are retrograde.
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.
Entering the 3rd year of the COVID 19 pandemic, Coventry Creations and others in the self-help and metaphysical industry are still riding a wave of increased consumer interest. Skyrocketing growth and record sales have become par for the course as people seek new ways to navigate the new normal.
In 2021 Coventry Creations saw a 300% increase in profits by way of an eye-popping 75% improvement in sales. Both set records for the nearly 30 year old company and were realized during the peak of the pandemic and all of the obstacles that came with it, including a global shipping crisis. Two weeks into 2022 finds the organization on the same trajectory with no slowdown in sight.
“The pandemic has been horrible,” said Jacki Smith, president of Coventry Creations. “When you consider all the sickness and the people that have passed away, it’s hard to find a silver lining. Our team here at Coventry Creations has certainly felt the effects. Many of our employees and their family members have tested positive over the past two plus years. The biggest bright spot for us is that everyone has made a full recovery. A second bright spot, however, has been our incredible growth during this time.”
Smith says that it’s not uncommon for businesses in her space to see upticks during challenging times. Coventry Creations has seen spikes after natural disasters, high profile tragedies, and even during presidential elections.
“People want some degree of control over their lives and the world around them.” said Vice President, Patty Shaw. “When times are tough and traditional spiritual and faith-based systems aren’t providing the help they need, people often turn to alternative methods for inspiration, empowerment, and healing.”
2022 is already shaping up to be a good year for Coventry Creations as this summer will mark their 30th anniversary. It’s another in a long list of milestones for the most respected and well-known intention candle maker in the world.

Beware of the Full Moon on the 19th, its energy is active with malefic or unfavorable influence from the star Alcyone of the Pleiadian constellation called the Seven Sisters. Storm highly recommends we lay low with the heavy-duty magic and focus on self-improvement and protection spells.
