Why certain colours touch your soul

• Pisces

  Pisces is definitely at the violet end of the rainbow, as they are the furthest-out and most cosmic of the signs. Purple is the spiritual colour of the crown chakra.

• Scorpio

  Indigo is the colour of the third eye, which of course befits Scorpio since these folks possess penetrating vision that sees way beyond surface reality.

• Taurus and Libra

  The throat chakra is blue, most associated with Taurus, the sign most attracted to that Venusian colour. Being a consummate diplomat and charming speaker, Libra also maintains a connection to the throat chakra, with brilliant sky-blue its transcendental home.

• Gemini and Sagittarius

  Gemini's body area is the shoulders, so the Twins tune into the crossover colour between green and blue - often a turquoise shade.Sagittarius also has a focus on shoulders and thighs, so they tend to like both green and warm brown.

• Leo and Cancer

  Leo, the sign of the heart and of great vitality, is associated where green merges into yellow on the chakras. Cancer is also focused around the heart area of yellow as it merges into pale ginger.

• Capricorn

  Capricorn rules the joints, which covers several of the chakras; green into brown are its true choices.

• Virgo

  Virgo moves down a chakra to the orange sacral region, and is truly allured by this colour of hidden passion.

• Aries

  Being first and most dynamic of all the Sun signs, Aries buzzes to brilliant, fiery red of the base chakra.

• Aquarius

  And Aquarius, just to be contrary (as usual), actually prefers them all: A rainbow spectrum is what makes the Aquarius a heart sign.
