What It Can Point To
- Too much heat, poor holder, or an overfilled candle.
- A wick too large for the wax and container.
- Emotional overflow or a matter that cannot stay contained.
- A stop signal if wax reaches edges, cloth, paper, or loose material.
Details That Change the Meaning
Overflow in frontA visible issue coming forward, or simple tilt.
Overflow at backSomething hidden, or the holder is uneven.
Overflow with flame highUnsafe fuel level. Put it out.
Overflow after dressingToo much material was added.
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.
Use a heat-safe plate. If wax spills near flame or fabric, extinguish the candle.
Better Questions
- Is the holder safe?
- Is this too much heat?
- What is overflowing in the real situation?
