Color is Personal

Forget what you’ve been told about color meanings.

Red isn’t always passion. Blue isn’t always calm. Yellow isn’t always joy. Sometimes, red feels like safety. Sometimes, blue feels electric. Sometimes, yellow feels haunting. Color can be fluid, just like you. The way you experience color isn’t about universal meanings or ancient correspondences—it’s about what color feels like to you, right now, in this moment.

Many guides offer preset meanings—red = love, green = abundance—but do those definitions truly resonate with you all the time? Sure, these associations have history. But what happens when green makes you feel anxious? When purple reminds you of grief? When red feels like home? The truth is, color meanings are not set in stone. Color is deeply cultural, psychological, and emotional, meaning its significance is never fixed. What shapes your personal connection to color? • Memory: If your childhood bedroom was green, green may always carry a nostalgic feeling for you. • Seasons & Mood: Colors shift in meaning depending on the time of year and your emotional state. • Personal Growth: I used to see pink as soft and delicate. Now, pink feels like rebellion, boldness, and standing out. The meaning of color shifted for me, just as I’ve shifted within myself. 💡 Reflection Prompt: Close your eyes. Think of the color blue. What does it feel like to you right now? What emotions, memories, or sensations come up? Feel free to share your observations in the comments.

If the meaning of color changes with context, how can we use that awareness in spiritual practice? Instead of looking up “What does this color mean?”, try asking yourself: 🖤 Guiding Questions for Color Magic: • What feeling does this color give me right now? • If this color had a sound, what would it be? • What memories surface when I think of this color? • How do I physically feel when surrounded by this color? Color magic doesn’t have to be rigid or overplanned. You can practice it throughout the day in simple, intuitive ways: • Dress with intention—choose colors that resonate with your current mood. • Use color journaling—write with a pen that matches your energy. • Pick a candle without checking its meaning—trust your intuition. • Make a mood playlist—what does ‘red’ sound like to you? • Adjust your room’s lighting—let color set the tone for your space. Color magic isn’t about following a guide. It’s about trusting yourself. What do colors feel like to you? That’s your magic. That’s your truth. ✨ Happy Lunar Day! ✨
