From astrology to human design, there are many ways to define and understand yourself more deeply. While people are all complex humans with fluctuating emotions, these pseudosciences can help you confront your own internal dialogue, the choices that you make and the circumstances you attract.

Within that, TikTok’s latest rave is auras, or a color that defines your energetic state. Your aura color can be any color from orange to blue. Whether you’ve been professionally told your aura color or want to guess what it may be by its description, here’s what your aura color says about you.

What Is An Aura Color?

An aura is a color energy that surrounds your physical presence, commonly studied in esoteric practices. It’s a luminous glow that extends from a few inches to several feet from the physical body. This colored emanation can enclose a human body, animal or object, also referred to as the subtle body.

Auras can be seen by those with heightened spiritual or psychic abilities, or by using specialized equipment. You’re not born with a set aura. It’s an aspect of you that changes over time, depending on a myriad of factors. Changes to your physical or emotional state can completely transform your aura from one day to the next.

Your aura color also can be indicative of which chakra color is most dominant. For example, if you’re in a confident place where you feel like you’re empowered and killing it in your career, your aura color could be yellow. This indicates a strong solar plexus chakra.

What Do The Aura Colors Mean?

Each person’s aura can fluctuate and may blend several colors at once, reflecting different aspects of their personality and emotional state. You may be a combination of several of these one day or purely one color the next, depending on the circumstances.
