 Traditionally, Capricorn is associated with black, dark brown or a plain, sensible grey - colours that evoke the uniform of school or public service.
The Astrology Colours system takes a wider view however - Capricorn's colours are those of the mountain, of quiet wisdom, of hard-won achievement and the kind of authority that has been earned one careful step at a time. Burgundy - one of Capricorn's eight supporting and three core colours - has warmth, depth and strength. It commands respect without being loud or aggressive, and suggests a quiet, unshowy richness together with an appreciation for the finer things of life. It is redolent of good quality wine (of course), old but opulent furnishings, and that most important of documents - our passport. For those with Sun in Capricorn, wearing this colour projects status that does not need to prove itself, and conveys the certainty of someone who has worked at building something lasting in life. If your Moon is in Capricorn burgundy gives a feeling of comfort and steadiness in a world that can seem too fast-paced or caught by surface pleasures.¹ With Venus in Capricorn it is a colour that communicates a mature but passionate sensuality, and draws those who appreciate someone serious and in possession of their own power.¹ ¹ Find your Moon and Venus sign: https://www.astrologycolours.com/sun-moon-venus-signs-calculator Photo: Connor Scott McManus | Pexels #Capricorn #Astrology #SunSign #MoonSign #VenusSign #AstrologyColours #ColourAnalysis

 Ask about Virgo's colour and the usual answers are navy blue or grey. Neither is wrong - both carry the restraint and the good sense the sign is known for. In the astrological tradition Virgo was ascribed anything from white to black speckled with blue.
The Astrology Colours palette for Virgo doesn't rest on one or two hues however; it reflects the whole archetype - the colours of the herb garden, the harvest, of things well made by the hands of the craftsperson. Deep olive is one of Virgo's Core colours: green with the sweetness taken out, closer to rosemary and sage leaves than to new grass, and very much a colour that reflects the Earth element that Virgo belongs to. Picture a cotton work jacket in exactly this shade, in regular use for years. The dye has settled unevenly along the cuffs and at the elbows, gone a little greener where the light has reached it and stayed deeper in the folds, and every one of those variations is a record of use rather than a flaw. Nothing about it announces itself across a room. Up close, though, the stitching is neat, the pockets sit exactly where your hands want them, and you can tell it was chosen carefully and meant to last. That is deep olive: serious without being severe, useful rather than decorative, and all the better for having been worn. If your Sun is in Virgo, deep olive gives you a sense of being grounded, capable and in touch with your centre. With Moon in Virgo,* it is a colour to feel settled in, at home or with family or close friends. If your Venus is in Virgo,* deep olive doesn't seek to captivate but instead quietly draws the attention of those who value stability, love nature and trust the look of someone who can turn their hand to anything.

The Astrology Colours zodiac palette takes a different approach: rather than settle the sign on a single hue, it offers a spectrum that captures the Taurus archetype and its appreciation for the natural world, for sensual pleasures, for texture and quality. Within that spectrum sits Light Plum.
Light Plum is a dusty, muted mauve-purple, closer to the soft bloom on a ripe plum's skin than to the sharpness of true violet. Picture a well-loved velvet jacket, chosen for its weight as much as its colour, worn until the pile has softened and starts catching the light differently with every movement. A colour with softness and substance, that rewards a slow, close look rather than a passing glance. Sun in Taurus wears Light Plum for the quiet confidence of being seen to be in tune with the natural world, while Moon in Taurus reaches for it for the feeling of comfort and familiarity.¹ If you have Venus in Taurus you are attracted to it for its unshowy sensuality, and it looks particularly good on you.² ¹ ² Find your Moon and Venus sign: https://www.astrologycolours.com/sun-moon-venus-signs-calculator/ (link also in Bio).

And yes, it's true - red is definitely one of Aries' core colours, reflecting the zodiac sign's fire element; its association with blood; its passion and its lust for life.
But the Astrology Colours palette for Aries doesn't rest on one hue; it reflects the whole archetype, and pure white is there too - bold, straightforward, open rather than layered with meaning, fresh in a way that suggests something new-born and ready to experience life for the first time. Most of all, it hides nothing - every mark and crease shows plainly on the surface, which suits a sign that has no patience for concealment or unnecessary subtlety. It's a colour that supports an active, busy lifestyle and doesn't demand that you worry about how it harmonises with other colours - it works with them all. Pull on that white shirt or top and go! If your Sun is in Aries, bright white gives the confidence to meet the world on your own terms. With Moon in Aries* you find white comforting, but the comfort comes from action rather than relaxation, speed rather than the default pace of life. If your Venus is in Aries,* white makes you feel like you're being seen - that you have nothing to hide - and it attracts people drawn to those who are brave, embodied and unafraid to live. * You probably know your Sun sign - but do you know your Moon and Venus signs?

On Friday, 31st July, at The Isbourne in Cheltenham, I'm running one-to-one Astrology Colours sessions - a 30-minute exploration of your Sun, Moon and Venus palettes using fabric swatches. You'll leave with a printed colour palette set, plus 10% off a full birth chart consultation with me in my garden office or online - £117 instead of £130. £45 for the colour session. No astrology knowledge needed, just your date, time and place of birth. Only 4 slots available on the day, and the next set of sessions isn't until a month from now - book via isbourne.org/events/your-astrology-colours.  Sagittarius' traditional colour is purple, but its Astrology Colours palette goes further, reflecting the archetype itself: the adventurer, the philosopher, wide-open skies. It's bright, light, and slightly sun-bleached, capturing the many ways the Sagittarius spirit shows up in everyday life, not just in a single hue.
Today's spotlight: Brick Red Where Sagittarius' core colours reach upward and outward, Brick Red keeps both feet on the ground. It's the colour of a jersey that's seen a full season out in the elements - football on a muddy pitch, rugby in the rain, a long run under a fierce sun - washed and weathered until the dye has faded into something more characterful. It doesn't shout like scarlet or burn like flame - it's warmer, dustier, more lived-in. Wear brick red if you have Sun in Sagittarius, for the confidence to take the leap and speak your mind. Choose it if you have Moon in Sagittarius* when you want to feel adventurous or optimistic. And pull it on if you have Venus in Sagittarius*, for a glow that comes from embracing your carefree, free-spirited side. * If you don't know your Moon or Venus sign, visit astrologycolours.com/sun-moon-venus-signs-calculator to find out. #Sagittarius #ColourSpotlight #BrickRed #Astrology #SunSign #VenusSign #MoonSign #AstrologyColours #ColourAnalysis #Zodiac #Colours  When people think Leo, they think gold. But in the Astrology Colours palette, Royal Blue is just as much a Leo colour.
Where gold is Leo's outward shine, Royal Blue speaks to the sign's deeper need for dignity, loyalty, and self-respect. It's the colour of someone with Sun, Moon or Venus in Leo who leads quietly and who commands a room without needing to perform. If gold is Leo on stage, Royal Blue is Leo holding court. Curious what your own palette reveals? I'm running an Astrology Colours workshop in London on Saturday 25th July and one-to-one sessions at The Isbourne on the 31st, links in bio. #Astrology #SunSign #VenusSign #MoonSign #AstrologyColours #ColourAnalysis #Zodiac #Colours #Aries #Taurus #Gemini #Cancer #Leo #Virgo #Libra #Scorpio #Sagittarius #Capricorn #Aquarius #Pisces  I'm delighted to announce that I will be running another workshop at the Moleskine shop in Neal Street, Covent Garden, under the auspices of The Page of Wands.
