As a victim of aura theft, I knew I could take back my power by losing my victim identify. W. J. Colville says, “Everyone’s aura is under his control, if he only determines to regulate it, and it stands to reason that nothing can be so conducive to an enlarged sphere of individual liberty as to get accustomed to determine our psychic state regardless of physical environments.”
It occurs to me that in previous entries, I haven’t clearly defined what an aura even is. According to Colville, in his quote above, AN AURA IS A “SPHERE OF INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.” A statement that begs for clarity is one which says someone stole my aura. But if I say that someone infringed upon my individual liberty, I sound reasonable and relatable. Who hasn’t experienced an impingement of freedom? I realized that I’ve yet to explain how I ended up with a rainbow aura in the first place.
I’m talking about the stolen one. I mean, yes, I attributed each color to a placement within my astrological natal chart. But I didn’t tell the story of how it all came together in the first place. It goes something like this. Like the sign of Libra, the planet Uranus, gets a little extra credit for its role in the formation of my rainbow aura. In its quest for freedom, my natal Uranus, which resides in the 8th house and in the watery sign of Scorpio, facilitated sudden storms of chaos and change.
Because Uranus is the Alchemist, it asked, “What can I make that represents the freedom that came from all this destruction?” Its neighbor, Libra, who overheard the question, took out its birthstone, the opal, and showed it to Uranus. “I am known for balance and harmony,” Libra said as it slowly oscillated the gem revealing its many colors.
“The recipe for a rainbow includes rain. And the watery storms which you facilitated, have already produced that ingredient. The other chart placements, our neighbors, have the remaining components.” Libra continued, “And with my contribution of balance and harmony, together we can manifest a rainbow.” Libra raised the opal again and Uranus, who could now see its glinting rainbow, agreed.
THE WAY TO GET BACK A STOLEN AURA is to let it go. You don’t want that one anyway. You want a newer, better and prettier version. But you’re going to need to rebuild it from scratch. It won’t take as long this time because you already have all the experience and lessons from the first go around. You know what to do and what not to do.
