Planets and Colors

Motto: Unsuitable colors have a way of creating a conflicting atmosphere in your own character. - Olavi J. Asikainen, Finnish astrologer

Sun
Golden color and golden yellow belong to Sun-ruled Leo-types ... golden lamé evening dress is perfect for a Leo woman. Yellow and reddish yellow belong also to Leo.

Moon
Moon's colors are white and light yellowish colors and gray. ... In addition light blue and sea green belong to the sign of Cancer.

Mercury
Light gray and silvery color shades are ruled by Mercury. Also light color combinations and fabrics with light sparkling color shades. These belong especially to Geminians but are well suited also for Virgoans. In addition yellow is good for a Gemini... and purple and different shades of lilac and white for a Virgo.

Venus
Bright but not glaring blues and greens belong to Taurus and Libra, because they are the colors of their ruling planet, Venus. Also white.

Mars
Mars nature is stronger and red is its color. It's especially the color of those born in Aries; fiery red gives life to their active nature. Red combined with black also qualifies well for Mars-ruled Scorpions, but otherwise dark and muddy greens belong to their colors.

Jupiter
Blue, purple and yellow belong to Jupiter and thus they look well on Sagittarians ... also scarlet and shades of bright red belong to this sign.

Saturn
Dark greens, browns and grays and also black give expression to a Capricornian nature ... these colors belong to the ruler of Capricorn, Saturn, and thus people of this type often dress themselves in somewhat gloomy colors.

Uranus
Dark blue is characteristic of Uranus. In addition violet, which also belongs to Aquarians.

Neptune
Pale browns and ash-gray shades belong to Pisces. Yet the Piscean type is ruled by Neptune and Neptune with its own colors brightens up Piscean shades. Neptune gives to his own the combination of all the colors in a rainbow.
