Colours of the Zodiac

Whether you believe in Astrology or not, each of our birth signs, has an individual colour family
assigned to it. Do you know yours? This colour family is special to you in some personal or out
of the ordinary way. Look to your colour family and be aware of which colour feels closest to
your heart it may be a bold accent, a muted tint or a soft pastel.
The colour you chose is your individual colour. Consider adding some of this colour to a
special place in your home, knowing that whenever you are near or surrounded by it, it is
reinforcing the positive qualities associated with your star sign in you.

For one born under the sign of Aries - and ruled by Mars - the pure accent Red is
the colour of energy and action. Its positive attributes signify those great
qualities in you - of leader-ship and alertness: bravery and a keenness to help
and protect others. However - for the sake of harmony in your home - you may
turn to softer muted pinks to overrule and tendencies towards combativeness,
daring and self will.
For the Taurean - Red - Orange colour represents the qualities of the Bull - ruled by
Venus. Conservative, strong, quiet, practical and patient, but when aroused - ready
to plunge forward ruthlessly. In the Taurean home - this colour family also contains
the soft peachy-pink pastels - which assist the Taurean, who under-stands the anger
of being hurt, in handling highly strung people and offering healing to others.
For the Gemini ruled by Mercury - the bright Orange represents them usually being
logical, adaptable and good reasoners - quick and brilliant. Sometimes highly
strung and lacking in perseverance - the pastels of this colour family in the home
often help relax the Gemini and assure them that they can follow through to attain
their set goals.
The colour of the Crab is the Yellow - Orange family ruled by the Moon. Being gifted
with great patience and the enjoyment of parenthood and family life - you are quite
protective, with a good imagination but with an inclination to be fussy about small
matters. The warm pastels of this family are a positive reminder to you that you
need never succumb to being contrary, dominating or overly romantic.

The Lion exemplifies the colour family of Lions ruling planet - the Sun. Usually big
hearted, cheerful, and strong both mentally and physically - your high principles
and dignity at times suffer disillusionment from friends. Be aware that the use of
too much bright Yellow in the home is associated with vanity, snobbishness and the
egotistical qualities of monarchs of old. The softer Yellow pastels in your colour
family over rule the oppression of the bright Yellows.
Yellow - Green is the colour family of the Virgin - ruled by Mercury. Here is the
colour representing your abilities as a great analyzer and your natural
fastidiousness. Usually shrewd, methodical and non-assertive - you make excellent
chemists and scientists. The pastels of this colour family allow you to feel more
contented and less critical. As a Virgo, you are naturally good with food - so pure
Yellow - Greens are not colours you need in your kitchen.
For the Libran who is ruled by Venus - your colour family is Green. With a love for
justice and harmony - you are cautious and poised, with an artistic sense of beauty
and a love of music and dancing. Green in your home will help you to reflect on
your joyous nature, and also to help to remind you to stay grounded. Be aware not
to take flattery seriously - as it is another form of envy.
Scorpio, formerly ruled by the warlike Mars, is now ruled by Pluto. This Green Blue colour family controls your strong, forceful, magnetic personality - which can
at times be explosive. Rather than the deeper or darker Blue Green Sea colours look to the turquoises, jades and pastels to reflect on the spirit of the scorpion. Use
these lighter and brighter chroma colours of the Green-Blue family to remind you of those
qualities the Scorpio possesses, which can be truly heroic.
The blue colour family of Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter under the sign of the
Archer. Outspoken, prophetic and many times religious - you represent a quick,
strong mind - emanating beauty and good will. This is the colour of abstract
knowledge and higher learning. The lighter pastels of the blues help ,soothe any
desires of impulsion - such as gambling or argumentation. The cooler blues assist relaxation and
sleep.
Capriconians are ruled by Saturn, whose symbol is the goat. And like the symbol of
that planet - you can climb the highest mountains or descend to the lowest valleys.
This colour family represents your abilities to be prudent, cautious, truthful,
tactfully ambitious - as well as quite introspective. The softer Blue - Violet pastel
colours invoke the dreams of the easy going and generous nature of Capricorn.
