Ancient occultists and mystics have been using astrology to perform rituals and enhance their daily life for ages. Many priests and priestesses (then and now) believe that each zodiac sign has an association with a patron Goddess that is aligned with their energy.
Patron goddesses can help you during times in which you are needing some guidance or insight, and can be accessed by calling upon their name. You can do this by burning a corresponding incense, just by calling them out by name, or through an invocation ritual.
By simply providing an offering, and calling out their name, you can effectively invite them to help and provide guidance to you during a difficult time.
