This one requires seven different coloured candles and a few minutes of your time each day for seven days (the name of the spell was a bit of a giveaway wasn’t it?). Preferably work it so that the seventh day falls on a full moon.
You will need:
Seven candles, you can use the colours of the rainbow/chakras; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet or colours of your choice. Each one will represent a planet and their associated qualities. If you don’t have different colour candles you can use white.
Monday – Moon – emotions
Tuesday – Mars – activity
Wednesday – Mercury – communication
Thursday – Jupiter – growth
Friday – Venus – love
Saturday – Saturn – structure
Sunday – Sun – energy
Place the candles in a row, safely in secure holders. Or you can use one candle holder and swap the candle each day.

Once you have worked with each candle spend a few minutes in reflection and note down what changes you can make in your life to bring about these qualities.
The candle stubs can be disposed of.
Add layers
If you want to add layers, add a crystal for each day and a herb/spice. My suggestions are:
Monday – water, clear quartz
Tuesday – chillies, rhodocrosite
Wednesday – pasta, blue lace agate
Thursday – copal, kyanite
Friday – Cardamom, unakite
Saturday – pine, smoky quartz
Sunday – cinnamon, pyrite
