I’ve noticed that some aura color experts seem to use the color labels of the purple family interchangeably. However, most experts agree that violet belongs to the seventh chakra and indigo to the sixth. What It Really Means To Have An Indigo Aura (In Love, Life & More) is an article authored by Sarah Regan. She writes, “According to aura reader and medium, Megan Michaela Firester, (aka Mystic Michaela) on Instagram, an indigo aura often indicates a highly sensitive and empathic person.”
Regan continues, “The darker the indigo aura, the more sensitive the person.”
She quotes Michaela, “They are not only highly sensitive to people and their respective energies but also to the physical environment around them.” Regan writes, “This can look like being bothered by bright lights, loud noises, and other environmental distractions.” Wow! Her words describes me exactly and they remind me of my natal twelfth house Mercury and Mars. According to stargazer, a writer for advanced-astrology.com, “twelfth house planets makes you a highly sensitive person.”
Of course, the sensitive person could be either the nurse or the patient or both. Colville tells us that “gentleness, coupled with firmness, which very often characterizes the trained nurse and the sister of charity, betokens a maturity of thought and feeling which gives rise to a rich purplish violet aura, which exerts a soothing and also a bracing effect upon sensitive, receptive patients.” Matching my aura colors to the astrological houses, signs and planets, has made me wonder if my North Node or my North Star is really a rainbow. But wait! I’m getting ahead of myself.
Indigo, like violet, Craig Hamilton-Parker reports, is also a color “associated with the 3rd eye.” He says someone with this color in their aura is “very much on a spiritual path” and might have “deep intuition (and) psychic powers (along with) deep religious understanding.” Furthermore, Craig says, a deep indigo indicates the person is “connected to their unconscious mind (and) might have an understanding of the dream world.” This seems to match not only my Pluto placement but also my 12th house Mars and Mercury.
I briefly discussed mentioned the latter in Reflecting, Researching & Remembering The Vision. I also partially interpreted the meaning of Dreaming of Knightesses in The Dark , in the entry, Birthday Cake. Craig continues by telling us that those whose aura includes the deep indigo, “might be a psychologist even.” Essentially, this color belongs to a person dealing with the “deeper aspects of the human psyche.” His words remind me of my Pluto which is in the 8th house. According to stargazer, people with this natal placement ”have a natural talent for psychology.”
Stargazer also tell us that often, people with a natal twelfth house in Mars, ”find psychology fascinating.”
Colville teaches, “Royal purple, or regal indigo, which all artists know is composed of blue and red, (is) symbolically speaking, (a) combination of aspiration and fortitude.” This makes me think that blue represents faith while red represents works. And maybe the right combination of these two produces the manifestation which is represented by the color which Colville calls, “royal purple or regal indigo.”
He also says, “Intense anger or indignation of any sort is not felt by those whose emblem is a robe of purple light, for those whose aura is thus far advanced have outgrown all tendency to be easily disturbed or vexed by poor externals.” I would imagine this is because just enough of the red, which also represents volatility, has been tempered with blue, which in part, signifies peace.
According to Colville, “Purple light is particularly well adapted to induce a feeling of solemnity in the best and highest use of that often mistranslated word, which should not be associated with gloom at any time, but always with majesty inspiring reverence, and that noble kind of awe which instinctively comes over us when we find ourselves in the presence of something greater and sublimer than we are usually accustomed to encounter.”
