THE COLOURS in our home or clothing
In the study of chromatherapy, the colours can affect our moods and feelings as well as our sense of comfort. Here is a little resume of colours I made a while ago in terms of how the colours we wear can affect us:
Light Green: Gives enthousiasm, a very fresh energy. A darker green brings a feeling of confidence, calm and maturity. A brighter green is regal and I like to wear it to stimulate a positive attitude. Emerald Green is a Taurean colour and enhance 2nd house as well as self-esteem issues. Turquoise or Blue-Green is more Neptunian and associated with Neptune.
Blue: Open new horizons. Light Blue gives a sense of friendliness and of someone who likes to discuss big ideas. I associate Light Blue to Libra. A soft and airy colour, that brings peace. Darker Blue has a Jupiterian influence, one of spirituality and understanding.
White: Gives a feeling of being intouchable, difficult to access or independent. It helps to keep our distance or boundaries and protects us from outside influences. A good colour to wear when you are feeling drained. It inspire spirituality and determination. For some reason I always reach out to white when I have to attend an event but I am not up to it. It brings an aura of protection and purity. White is a very Cancer/Moon colour.
Black: A good colour to wear to feel accepted and integrated as well as open to outside events. The colour can make us indifferent so it is advisable to add a touch of colour with it. A Scorpio colour.
Violet: Wear this colour if you want to express yourself and be heard. It enhances the contact with our emotions as well as their expression. Wearing purple is kind of making a statement in itself and we have a stronger emotional impact when wearing it.
A good colour to wear to attract attention or meeting new people. I associate purple to Mercury in Scorpio; Mercury-Pluto or Pluto transiting to the 3rd house transits. Indigo is more of an Aquarian nature.
Red: Light Red and Pink bring happiness and joy. Red attracts attention and helps to make an impact. pink is romantic and playful; it is a colour of seduction. Red is ruled by Mars, the colour of energy and ruler of Aries.
Orange: Orange helps to face challenges and gives determination. The stronger the colour, the stronger its effect. It is a cheery colour and enhance stability. it has a strong magnetic effect and attracts people. It is better to use in small accessories. Orange is Mercurial, because of its attractive nature and is associated with Geminis.
Yellow: A good colour for negotiation. It is very luminous but is not overbearing, favouring compromises and teamwork. A Sun/Leo colour.
Brown: A good grounding colour. It is a Virgo colour and perfect for when we need to clean, organize, be methodical and rational. It gives a good impression on a first meeting. I associate brown with Vetiver, to give a double grounding effect.
Beige: A great colour to enhance creativity. Funny, that of all the colours, this would be the one. But it works. Maybe because Beige is a blend of yellow, brown and white, combining the Sun, Moon and Virgoan energies of manifestation...
