colour association

madmoiselle

I have often wonder what the correst association with colours are to each sign? I have read sooo many different colours and ideas ... Does any-one know the right colour for each sign? And do these colours all mean any-thing?

It's elemental.

Each sign and planet is associated with an element

Aries, fire
Taurus, earth
Gemini, air
Cancer, water
Leo, fire
Virgo, earth
Libra, air
Scorpio, water
Sagittarius, fire
Capricorn, earth
Aquarius, air
Pisces, water

The fire signs are represented by reds, oranges, and possibly yellow.
the earth signs are represented by greens, browns, and other earth tones
air signs can be yellow, blue, grey, and whites (representing clouds)
water signs can be dark blues, whites, possibly greens.

As for the planets, well thats a different story
moon-earths sattelite-white/silver
mercury-the messanger-yellow
venus-the lover-green
mars-the warrior-red
jupiter-the king of all gods-purple
saturn-the lord of time-blacks and dark earth colors
uranus-the rebel-light and dark blue
neptune-lord of the seas-dark blues and sea-green
pluto-lord of the underworld-blacks

certain signs associated with certain planets have a very specific color that do seem to click easily but not always:

Cancer-moon-silver/greys
Leo-sun-yellow/oranges
scorpio-mars and pluto-red and black
Aquarius-Saturn and Uranus-usually blue but Aquarius is the rainbow of the airsigns and thus can use all colors.

the combinations are infinite so don't worry if you don't notice it right away.

Ha, I get it now! ^^ Thanks so much, I knew that, but I didn't put two and two to-gether, so it didn't register. Thanks!

Crowleys 777 has some interesting takes, it is based on the G.D. system. (you can find it on the net) look for the planets, signs and go along to check the colour columns. One fun thing to do is to make a colour wheel 4 segments for elements, 7 for planets, 12 for signs, in this system the colours are arranged in frequency order. So, for eg. Aries will be a deep (nearly infra-)red but Pisces virtually ultraviolet.
