Whether Mercury is in retrograde or is in smooth astrological sailing, we thought we should lay down some truth on the zodiac colors that YOUR sign ought and ought not to be wearing for inner balance and outer fierceness.
Colors have power. They can affect our mood, stimulate us physically and mentally, and make us perceive things and people differently.
Every person is born under a specific zodiac sign, or astrological sign, if you will.
For starters, the word zodiac relates to a heaven’s belt within about 8 degrees on either side of the ecliptic, including all apparent positions of the sun, moon, and most familiar planets.
This belt is divided into twelve equal parts or signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces).
According to ancient Chinese beliefs, each one of them correlates to a specific color in the visible spectrum of light.
Beyond that, each zodiac sign is associated with an animal, constellation, and element (air, earth, fire, and water), which relates to the zodiac colors. It’s all intertwined.
Zodiac colors
What’s your sign? Whether you’re a smooth-talking Gemini or a spotlight-loving Leo, your astrological sign can say quite a bit about your personality.
But remember this, you have a power color. You can see it as an empowering zodiac color palette.
But, there are also disadvantageous hues you should steer away from. Picking the wrong color for your zodiac sign is what we’re trying to avoid at all costs.
Why? As we said, colors have power. While your personality colors might differ from your powerful zodiac colors, you can always use them to channel in positive vibes. Here are the best and the worst colors for your zodiac sign.

The circular chart is wrong. Sagittarius is mutable and Scorpio is fixed. I have never seen Neptune as the joint ruler of Sagittarius, given the sign's associated with the mind, intelligence, academia, and philosophy. It requires a clear head and boundaries.

Hey Theodora, thanks for catching that! I went ahead and updated the mutable/fixed mistake. However, there is some discussion about Neptune as the joint ruler of Saggi. Check it out here (a bit old but valid arguments): http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/212360.html
