 Colour
is light, waves of energy at specific lengths.
Colour and all living beings radiate energy.
Colour vibration can be used without
harmful side effects to treat many physical
and
emotional disorders.
In the Vedic sciences
it is thought
that the planets transmit energy to
us on earth. The planets are said to have effects
on our body, mind and subtle consciousness.
So in Vedic astrology gemstones are
prescribed
to counterbalance adverse planetary effects.
Gemstones
receive their potency from the cosmic energies
of various planets and are similar to a lightning
rod. They create a protective field around
the body, regulating which cosmic forces
are absorbed by the body. Gemstones are very
powerful and wearing the wrong gem can have
harmful effect, so it's important to have
a qualified astrologer recommend the appropriate
stone to you. They are worn touching the
skin and are at least two carats in size.
Aura-Soma
works on similar principles. It offers us
colours which balance us in the jewel like
bottles and the protective pomanders and
quintessences. The difference is that it
is entirely helpful and can have no serious
side effects.
Each
planet has a colour, and a related gemstone.
Look at your birth chart and see if you are
attracted to the colours that link to your
ascendant ruler, your Sun and Moon signs.
(Bear in mind that the Vedic astrology uses
the sidereal zodiac, so deduct 23 degrees
from the position of each planet). For more

Some
Examples with Aura-Soma Colour:-
If
the planet Mars is weak
in your chart it is useful to introduce red
coral into your life. Coral in Aura-Soma
is love wisdom in Bottle 87, and has a softer
effect than pure red.
The
emerald green in Aura-Soma relates to the
quintessence Djwal Khul, associated with
astrology, which is a Mercurial profession.
Yellow
brings joy, happiness and knowledge, which
are the attributes of Jupiter,
the teacher. Bottle 42 yellow/yellow is called
The Harvest, and signifies knowledge and
the centre of our being.
The Sun is
seen in the ‘I am’ bottle 40,
red/gold. Since the Sun can burn and too
much signifies arrogance in a person, the
gold brings a deep wisdom to balance it.
Venus likes
light pastels, blues and pinks. The Birth
of Venus bottle 34, the pink/turquoise combines these
Venus with the 'awakened' Sun energy
in the pink.
The Moon's colour
is white, which is well represented in the
Aura-Soma range. Signifying emotions, the
Moon is helped by bottle 54, Serapis Bay,
clear/clear which is useful for healing the
past.
Saturn's colour
is dark blue, and is known as Old Father
Time in the western society. How appropriate
that the Old Soul bottle 47, is royal blue/lemon,
combining Saturn with Jupiterian yellow.
It
is worth noting that the birthstones set
out by the jewellery industry bear no relation
to astrology. The list was complied arbitrarily
and is purely a commercial system.
