Dear fellow astrologers,
I decided to start this thread as I was always interested in different views and techniques (like Tarot or Sabian symbols) that can help us understand astrology and its relation with other systems (although I believe that it´s all one system).
The phemonen of colour is interesting and important one - colour, it´s light and light is what all this "spiritual" is about. Hope you´ll enjoy this article and eventually discuss this topic. There are colours for each decanate of each sign so would be interesting if we can find some correlations - for example, can you relate to colours of your Sun sigh decanate?
Note: It´s a bit long but worth reading. They talk about Ceres as ruler of Virgo and Chiron as ruler of Libra - what do you think about this? I can´t agree with this but someone else might find it appealing. Enjoy

[SIZE=+2]The Colorpsychology of the Zodiac[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]by Vitaly Vetash & Semira[/SIZE]
Considering different descriptions of Zodiac types, a modern astrologer often finds a correlation of the Zodiacal signs with different colors. And in the most of cases this information seems to be only an occasional descriptive characteristic of the sign and is not seriosly used in astrological practice. But every color has its own psychological meaning and a certain influence on our psyche; and for a medieval astrologer the search of such analogies between the material and spiritual realms was a necessary instrument of work with the human soul, the base of magic procedures and a key to the mysteries of the world. Now the need of reconstructing of the vivid plenty of images in astrology requires a serious analysis of immediate perception traditions, and here the help of achievements of colorpsychology, a modern science, is possible. The immediate influence of the color on human psyche is one of the simplest means permitting us to understand and depict unconscious processes.
In different descriptions there occur divergences in color interpretation of the signs and the planets. But the obvious divergences often turn out not to be contradictory when we compare the systems in which the interpretation is made. That is why for a correct correlation of the color and the sign, it's important to consider mutual correlations of colors in the system of the whole Zodiacal cycle. Likewise, when one color is assigned to different planets or signs, we should find a common characteristic between them that reflects this color - and for a more strict definition, associate the color with the sign that manifests the quality of the color brighter. For example, the violet in different descriptions is assigned to Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces. That color reflects the quality of changeability and duality, speaking in the astrological language - mutability, which is a common feature of these signs. But considering the characteristics of violet in full: mysticism, gloom, sinking into the depth, hypnotism - we can define it as the main color of Pisces and Neptune. Making a strict correlation between signs and colors, we tried to find the dominating color of a sign in the system of psychological correlations in Zodiac. In the description the psychological and physical characteristic of a color is followed by the corresponding sign, planet and house, in conclusion.
[SIZE=+1]THE MAIN COLOR OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS[/SIZE]
SCARLET-RED - evokes the state of activity, aggressiveness, excitement, boldness, frankness and delight, that is the impulse of energy, heat, and ardor. It is the most intensive (the most chromatic) color, irritating physically, masculine, powerful and rude, choleric, it percepts like same thing present in time. In the day light it is the brightest of the colors, but it becomes less distinctive in the twilight - its power doesn't spread to the quiet and soft nocturnal world. This color corresponds to the active triangular form and anything with the red surface seems sharp and dynamic. ARIES, MARS, 1st HOUSE
YELLOW-GREEN - liberates and renews feelings, fascinates by softness and calm, evokes the impression of nature, emotional satisfaction and peace, pleasure and charm, enchantment and affection. Green is defensive and cautious, weakening and static, a feminine color of passiveness and peace, wisdom of nature, eternal life and hope. It has the passive and harmonic oval form. TAURUS, VENUS, 2nd HOUSE
ORANGE-YELLOW - emancipates, predisposes to contacts, interaction, intensive search and vividness. Yellow is the most open, youthful, joyful and slight color, directed to the future, sociable and restless, eccentric and quick. It demolishes the limitations and runs out of any form, makes distances shorter and approaches things: when painted in yellow, they, reflecting the light well, attract our attention. Yellow can correspond to the form of a six-ray star, running out in the sides. GEMINI, MERCURY, 3rd HOUSE
LIGHT EMERALD - called "lunic" in the Orient - the color of perception and intuition, dismissal and isolation, inner emotionality, changeability and freshness, ideal femininity. That tinge of green, in comparison with the green color of Taurus, is more slender and cool, compliant but hidden, emotionally instable, sad, inwardly mobile, outwardly inert, strange and dreamy. It reflects the feeling of vulnerability, apprehension, in the twilight it becomes lighter and luminiscent, in the day light it grows dim and dark. The color has the feminine form of the long oval. CANCER, MOON, 4th HOUSE
RICH ORANGE - stimulates, strengthens, fills with force and health, gives the impression of the constant flue of energy. Orange is the hottest, widest and the most pleasant and positive color, reflecting the balance of will and possibility, consciousness, ripeness, abundance, happiness and sexuality. It ensures, supports, and evokes appetite, awakes, but not excites, and tends to embrace space. Orange corresponds to the form of the wide rhombus that joins the diversity of yellow and the strength of red. LEO, SUN, 5th HOUSE
GREY - restrains, neutralizes, analyzes, and distributes. It is the color of modesty, renunciation, accuracy and mentality. As a merger of white and black, it joins the oppositions and can approach extremities. It is the least "colorful" (chromatic) color, including all the colors in the integral form. Associated with rationalism and control, this color seems to abdicate from the vivid shine of the others. There is some devotion in it, but also some wreckness and cynicism of a ruthless analysis, capability to sharp changes and at the same time, flexibility, adaptability and practicability: it is difficult to obscure the color. It corresponds to the rational rectangular form. VIRGO, CERES, 6th HOUSE
LIGHT-LEMON - the most slender, tender and uncertain color, tends to merge with white that is the balance of all the colors. There is some artificiality, piquancy, weakness and indecisiveness in it. At the same time, it is light, cautious, changeable, and attractive. It tunes on aesthetic perception and sympathy, and consoles. This tinge is less intensive, than the bright yellow color of Gemini, more static, modest and harmonic. It orients to the mold contact but also evokes the feeling of insecurity and unreliability, concealed ruse, and treason. This color has the form of a long hexagon (with concave sides), it reflects the light well, diminishing its intensity a little. LIBRA, CHIRON, 7th HOUSE
DARK RED - the color of emotional saturation, passion, power, suppression, demand, sublimated activity, suffering, threat and strained temper. It is erotic and evokes instincts. In contrast to the red of Aries, this darker tinge of red is less open, more secret, not positive and tense: there is some concealment and hardness in it, because of its saturation, it causes more emotional than physical excitement, as red of Aries. This color correlates with the form of the triangle, the top below and the upper side round, like the heart. SCORPIO, PLUTO, 8th HOUSE
ULTRAMARINE BLUE - the most transcendent, spiritual color of the dark sky with stars and space, directs into infinity, gives inner assurance, interest in the mundane experience, the color of faith and religion, tradition, loyalty, straightheartedness and upper harmony, fascination by the sublime. According the statistics, blue is the most preferable color that points to its "leadership" and "authority" between the other colors. Blue has the form of the ideal circle, inspiring the feeling of inner support and solemnity. SAGITTARIUS, JUPITER, 9th HOUSE
BROWN-BLACK - the hard color of matter, reality and affinity, conservatism, stability, concentration, work, demands, principles, silence and ambitions. Black is the most concentrating and the hardest color - the color of protest, judgement, renunciation and isolation, time and death as absolute finality. It does not reflect the light and creates the feeling of hardness, seriousness, pessimism, compression, and darkness. It corresponds to the restricted and closed, the stable form of the square. CAPRICORN, SATURN, 10th HOUSE
LIGHT BLUE - inspires the sense of infinite perspective, enlarges the space and manifests the subconscious, makes the impression of clarity, affection, friendship, separates from the reality, tunes on dreams, endeavor of supernatural and carelessness. Blue is the color ofthought and fantasy, born from physical passivity, it is the most distant and cold color, with remoting contours of things, tuning on renovation and travelling. It has the form of circle, widening and dissolving into space. AQUARIUS, URANUS, 11th HOUSE
LILAC-VIOLET - the unstable color of inner contradictions and gloom, mystery, melancholy, alien influences, repentance and patience, sanctity. Violet is the deep color of fascination, magic, supernatural, mystic and mysterious, incomprehensible, it has the deep and even suppressing influence on the psyche, intoxicating the mind, hypnotic and meditative. It has the circle form with wavy contour. PISCES, NEPTUNE, 12th HOUSE

Man's eye distinguishes over 700 nuances of color. Certainly not all the combinations were included in the characteristic of the decanates. Only pairs of color describing the signs as a whole were elected. Theoretically, we could assign to the different pieces of the Zodiac all the Plenty of color tinges. But our eyes detach not all the tinge as equivalent - as we use not all the sound in the speech: any language has a definite set on vowels and consonants. So in the system the accent is made to the most independent tinges of color and their meanings in the combination, permitting to define the distance needed to distinguish between the colors correlated closely.
* * *
The definition of the color correlations to the signs of the Zodiac (and also to the planets and the houses) gives the opportunity to design the color-horoscope of the individual. It will include colors of the signs in the inner circle, colors of houses in the outer, and the spots of planets on the circumference. The chart influences to the subconscious, creating along with the mental analysis the wholeness of perception. It also can be the base for creating the artificial image of a person. For people inclined to develop and use the extrasensory capabilities, it gives the possibility to work with the chart through the color vibration. The wider practical application of color in the connection with the horoscope will evidently show the future of colortherapy.
Some words about the interpretation of aspects in the colorhoroscope. Aspects can be regarded as the combinations of colors with the different intensity, that makes dynamic influence on the psyche. According this, an aspect of conjunction adds brightness to the colors, an opposition makes them more pastel, a trigon softens the contrast between them, a square intensifies it, a sextile makes the tinges of the colors closer (for example sextile of red Mars and blue Jupiter is regarded as the combination of orange-red with blue-green). The work with the parameters describing the static picture of the horoscope is more simple. The colorhoroscope helps to manifest the psychological characteristic of planet through the color background of it's position in the sign and the house. Using the color combinations for finding and rectification of the Ascendent also gives good results. It is noticed that people usually prefer and recognize themselves in the colors of the decades where are the Sun, Moon and the Ascendent. To awake our subconscious apprehension is one of the tasks of astrology, the using of the color analogies promotes it. But it is important that the search for such analogies was not only intuitive and occasional: only a developed theory gives a good practical application.
* * *
The most of astrologers aren't used to operate with colors in the practice, and the simple approximate method to find the person's color combination according to the horoscope is suggested below. Besides the sign of Zodiac, where the Sun is, you need to define the second most important accent of the horoscope (that may be the strongest planet of the chart, or the sign of which it rules: the second accent should be found when regarding the picture at whole). In the table you can find colors characterizing a person, according to the sign and the second accent of a horoscope denoted by the planet.

Man's eye distinguishes over 700 nuances of color. Certainly not all the combinations were included in the characteristic of the decanates. Only pairs of color describing the signs as a whole were elected. Theoretically, we could assign to the different pieces of the Zodiac all the Plenty of color tinges. But our eyes detach not all the tinge as equivalent - as we use not all the sound in the speech: any language has a definite set on vowels and consonants. So in the system the accent is made to the most independent tinges of color and their meanings in the combination, permitting to define the distance needed to distinguish between the colors correlated closely.

The definition of the color correlations to the signs of the Zodiac (and also to the planets and the houses) gives the opportunity to design the color-horoscope of the individual. It will include colors of the signs in the inner circle, colors of houses in the outer, and the spots of planets on the circumference. The chart influences to the subconscious, creating along with the mental analysis the wholeness of perception. It also can be the base for creating the artificial image of a person. For people inclined to develop and use the extrasensory capabilities, it gives the possibility to work with the chart through the color vibration. The wider practical application of color in the connection with the horoscope will evidently show the future of colortherapy.
Some words about the interpretation of aspects in the colorhoroscope. Aspects can be regarded as the combinations of colors with the different intensity, that makes dynamic influence on the psyche. According this, an aspect of conjunction adds brightness to the colors, an opposition makes them more pastel, a trigon softens the contrast between them, a square intensifies it, a sextile makes the tinges of the colors closer (for example sextile of red Mars and blue Jupiter is regarded as the combination of orange-red with blue-green). The work with the parameters describing the static picture of the horoscope is more simple. The colorhoroscope helps to manifest the psychological characteristic of planet through the color background of it's position in the sign and the house. Using the color combinations for finding and rectification of the Ascendent also gives good results. It is noticed that people usually prefer and recognize themselves in the colors of the decades where are the Sun, Moon and the Ascendent. To awake our subconscious apprehension is one of the tasks of astrology, the using of the color analogies promotes it. But it is important that the search for such analogies was not only intuitive and occasional: only a developed theory gives a good practical application.
