What It Can Point To
- Draft from the right pushing the flame left.
- A bent wick or uneven wax pool.
- Past emotion or inward pressure if ordinary causes are ruled out.
- A sign to adjust placement before interpreting direction.
Details That Change the Meaning
Leans left then straightensThe burn corrected itself.
Always left in same spotCheck airflow in that place.

Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
Do not move a lit candle around the room to test signs. Extinguish it first if placement must change.
Better Questions
- Where is the air moving?
- Is the wick bent?
- Does left mean anything in this specific work?
