What It Can Point To

- Repeated cycles around the same issue.
- A boundary line the work is not crossing yet.
- Delay or circling if the same ring remains after repeated burns.

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 burn a candle longer than is safe just to avoid rings. Safety beats a perfect sign.
Better Questions
- How long was each burn?
- What cycle keeps repeating?
- Is this a boundary or just candle memory?
