Candle
Hope, spirituality, illumination
Yellow
Intellect, joy, caution
Candle
Candles represent hope, spiritual light, and the fragile nature of illumination in darkness. A single candle in darkness suggests hope persisting against overwhelming odds. A candle being extinguished may indicate losing hope or spiritual direction. Many candles together suggest communal hope or celebration. The flame of a candle represents the individual soul or consciousness. Birthday candles connect to wishes and aging.
Yellow
Yellow represents mental clarity, optimism, joy, and caution. A bright yellow environment suggests intellectual stimulation and happiness. However, yellow can also indicate caution (yellow traffic lights) or cowardice. Faded or dirty yellow may suggest illness, decay, or betrayal. In many Eastern traditions, yellow is sacred — representing wisdom and the solar plexus chakra of personal power.
