Color Associations in Astrology
Welcome back to the Rainbow Reflections newsletter.
In today's newsletter, we're going to expand beyond the basics we covered in last weeks color newsletter, where we covered how color is a powerful tool in branding and web design. Today, we'll dive into the fascinating connections between color and astrology and delve into how each zodiac sign is associated with specific colors and how you can harness these associations to elevate your design work.
ASTROLOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF COLOR
Each zodiac sign has specific color associations because of the ruling planet that governs it. These ruling planets influence the characteristics and energies of the signs, and these influences extend to colors that resonate with each sign's unique traits. The planetary rulership over each zodiac sign dictates these color relationships, aligning the cosmic energies of the planets with the symbolic power of colors to enhance the understanding of astrological influences in our lives.
Aries: Red from Mars rulership.
Taurus: Green and pink from Venus rulership.
Gemini: Yellow from Mercury rulership.
Cancer: White/Silver from Moon rulership.
Leo: Gold/Orange from Sun rulership.
Virgo: Brown from its Mercury rulership.
Libra: Pink and green from its Venus rulership.
Scorpio: Deep Red from its Mars* and Pluto** rulership.
Sagittarius: Purple from its Jupiter rulership.
Capricorn: Black from its Saturn rulership.
Aquarius: Black from its Saturn* rulership and Turquoise from its Uranus** rulership.
Pisces: Lavender from its Jupiter* rulership and seafoam green from its Neptune** rulership.
*Traditional, Hellenistic rulership.
**Modern rulership.
As with the last newsletter, this only scratches the surface of each sign and the potential color associations. That being said, planetary rulership is a great place to start when it comes to learning about astrological color associations, which is why I decided to share it with you today.
TOOLS & RESOURCES FOR FURTHER LEARNING
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that astrology is one of those things that I consider myself a fairly new study. It fascinates me and I am endlessly inspired by it, but I by no means an expert in it. I continue to open myself to learning and expanding my knowledge of this modality, and as a result have gathered an amazing set of tools and resources that have taught me a lot about color and its astrological associations. If you're interested in learning more like I am, I encourage you to check out the references I share below.
