  • About Us
  • Read Geaux Girl!

Just as colors correspond to seasons and chakras (the energy areas in our bodies), colors also have ruling planets. Those planets rule zodiac signs, which allows us to determine what colors support us best. For our energy levels, we can use our sun sign color. With our moon sign color, we can support our emotional self. Using our Venus sign, we can support self-care. Color therapy is a useful area of psychology and tons of fun! You’ll probably find most of your favorite colors are already suited by your stars.

To discover your sun, moon, or Venus sign, you can go to astro.com and get your free “natal chart.” You will need to provide your date of birth, birth location, and exact birth time. Once you have your chart, you can use the table at the bottom left to match the symbols together. If you’ve never done your chart, it just takes a little bit of research.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

RED| The fire sign ruled by the war planet Mars is sure to convey their energy with fiery red. Wearing red helps Aries stay focused and be ready for anything.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

 GREEN | The earth sign ruled by lovely goddess Venus relaxes so well while admiring their gorgeous green houseplants in a meditative state.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

YELLOW | Mercurial air sign Gemini is playful and in tune with yellow. Try unexpected pops of yellow in a Gemini bedroom to keep social media binging positive.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

SILVER | The moon-ruled water sign crab loves peace and tranquility with Luna-governed silver shades throughout their daily life.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

ORANGE | Fiery sun-ruled lions maintain their positive attitude and purr with cheerful orange flowers or a fabulous new hair color.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

MAUVE | Serene earth sign with Mercurial rulership, Virgo feels polished and in control surrounded by mauve shades. Try a good manicure for expressing all the ideas that keep flowing.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

PINK | Venusian air sign ever charming Libra stuns in pink for a classic and positive vibe. Rose-colored glasses or pink lipstick are appropriate for Libra love bugs, obviously.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

BLACK | Mysterious water sign Scorpio is ruled by Pluto. Pretty sure it was a Scorpio who first said “all black everything”. It’s not just a look, it’s their lifestyle.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

DARK PURPLE | Jovial fire sign Sag is always keen on plum and indigo shades for keeping their positive outlook and short attention span in tune.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

CHARCOAL | Saturn-ruled earth sign Capricorn adores dark neutrals. It’s both practical and elegant to match a wardrobe to one’s moleskin and travel mug.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

TURQUOISE | Funky Aquarians vibe with turquoise. Trendsetting with fashion or spoiling themselves serenely in a turquoise bathroom, they’re all about motivating others to honor themselves and do it best by example.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

DARK BLUE | Dreamy water sign Pisces rules the deep seas so naturally, this Neptunian sign feels soothed by dark blues. Painting with these shades can be especially relaxing for the sign of dancing fish.
