Colors and the Zodiac
Colors and the Zodiac
(religion, spiritualism, and occult)Human beings have often perceived colors as constituting a kind of symbolic alphabet, so it is natural that colors would come to be associated with the signs of the zodiac as well as with the planets. There is, however, more than one system of correlations between the colors and the signs. The following color-sign associations should thus be regarded as illustrative rather than definitive:
| Sign | Colors |
| Aries | Red and other “flaming” colors |
| Taurus | Pink, pale blue, and other pastels |
| Gemini | Yellow and violet |
| Cancer | Green, smoky-gray, silver, and silvery-blue colors |
| Leo | Orange and gold |
| Virgo | Green and dark brown |
| Libra | Pink, pale green, and various shades of blue |
| Scorpio | Deep red, maroon, dark brown, and black |
| Sagittarius | Dark blues and purples |
| Capricorn | Brown, gray, black, dark green, and earth tones |
| Aquarius | Turquoise, aquamarine, white, and electric blue |
| Pisces | Sea green, lavender, and lilac |
Natives born under the influence of one of these signs (particularly, but not exclusively, as this influence manifests in their sun sign) usually feel a special affinity with their sign’s colors. This affinity can manifest as a tendency to wear clothes of, or to decorate homes with, the associated zodiacal colors.
