Blues, Greens, and Purples of 2012

Purple, green and blue are about water and night and internal sight. They speak to intellect, courage, heart, and sovereignty. They combine the feminine of the heart chakra with the masculine of the crown chakra.

Green is love, compassion, courage, freedom from grief.

Aqua creates clear communication.

Indigo brings clarity and wisdom.

Enjoy your color!

Alannah

Dark is not bad. It is just dark.

I’m not predicting tragedy. Your color is not the dark of grief. This is the midnight blue of night, but not the dark night of the soul.

Back before lamps, we had a different relationship with the night. The dark has always been rather frightening, but before lamps and candles and wood torches, the dark also subtle.

We could see gradients of light. We were aware of the stars and we renewed our relationship with them nightly.

When you choose the color of Midnight, you choose the color of wisdom gained through the willingness to confront mystery, to be part of the subtle soft of dark, to differentiate between that which is truly dangerous and that which is simply making noise in the bush next to you.

In the dark, things call out, naming their place in the world, and others go quiet, sleep, stay small.

Mice, Owls, Jaguars, Bees, Birds, Bears, they do not have stories about the night. They don’t have an oral tradition. They are simply living in the woods at night.

When you choose this color, you choose to explore the night, to put behind the lore and what others have said. You are choosing to see this mystery of life anew.

Let your eyes adjust to the night.

Leave the stories behind.

By the end of the year, it will be time to go beyond the observation and name your place. Name your role beyond observer.

When you come back,  you will be marked by your understanding. You might even be a thing that goes bump in the night!

Alexandra

I’m struck by the pale translucence of this color, Alexandra. It’s 4th and 5th chakra, to be sure.

The 4th chakra, the heart chakra is a busy energetic train station of love and compassion and knowledge.

The 5th chakra, the throat is responsible for clear communication, speaking and hearing.

The throat is also responsible for the integration of intuitive information and observed information.

When these iterate, you have a clean, clear understanding of people, their intentions and of the importance of events that occur.

This color, the milky translucence points to the experience of this clarity.

For not only will you integrate your intuitive and observed understandings of people, places and concepts. You’ll be able to speak clearly and in language that others understand.

Words fail us. Words limit. We can’t convey the entirety of truth in everything we say. Yet, you, this year, will enjoy easy speaking, easy relating, words will flow from your heart and to it, and it will feel excellent.

Amy

Do you like the circus? Most people like the circus; the bright lights, the glitz, the chaotic array.

This is a cerebral circus color. It’s smart. It’s still the circus.

We like to be at the circus for a bit, right? A night or two?

It’s an entirely different experience when you choose to live it for a year, isn’t it?

Your blue is the unrelenting blue of chaos, beautiful art, soaring heights, an absence of safety nets and the smells of cotton candy, popcorn and elephant poop.

You will love it.

You will want to go home.

You will love it.

You will want less grit, less living on the edge, less show.

You will love it.

You’ll practice and learn new amazing skills. You’ll get frustrated.

It’s a trial by chaos, with moments of wonder and plenty of behind the scenes information.

Aubrey

Whoa! What a combo!The green-yellow olive, dashed with shiny red. It points to the heart, belly and root chakras.

In the middle of everything, this pimento peeks out to remind you that you’re part of many lineages (a long history of strong, interesting game-changers) and that you are consistently sustained and supported.

Throughout this year, you’ll have a beautiful, slightly muted experience of love and power.

This is the year with the freedom to know yourself so well, and to love yourself so much that the expression of your power becomes easy and graceful, a loving act.

Beth

This might be my favorite color of the year. This deep purple to iridescent pink, it’s  rare shiny vibrant.

This is a balancing color, working the 7th and 1st chakras together, with a touch of the 6th.

The 7th and 1st chakras are partners.  One grounds. One reaches.

When we allow our 1st chakras to ground us, to take care of our legs, to help us stand upright, we find so much more freedom in the rest of our bodies.  When we don’t have to use our whole bodies to stay grounded and upright, we get to use them for other experiences.

For you, these experiences will be about further developing the divine relationship. And while some people develop divine relationships in meditation, in spiritual ways, you’re also going to be seeing and experiencing the divine on the earthly plane.

There is also something about your experience being shared with many many people.  It’s an outward experience as well as an inward experience.

Bridget

This color flips between blue and green. It’s breathing a new life into your ability to convey truth from the heart.

Truth is always in context to the entirety, to all that is. Truth can be fleeting or truth can be relatively unchanging. The ability to hear and speak truth in context to all that is, to hold everything in a balance, that’s a rare opportunity, and it’s yours for this year.

This is a singing green, the bright reaching-out, a giving color.

This aqua is a gift for you to listen to your own heart.

Carol

Ah! This green is gorgeous. Bright granny smith green.

Green is the color of heart chakra. And a bright apple green is the sign of a light heart that resonates the joy around her.

Around us, always, are thousands of subtle experiences, energies that are positive, supportive, sustaining, difficult, dark, depleting, and everything other feeling too.

We have the opportunity to resonate the energies that move our world positively forward, and when you carry this apple green color into your year, it means that you will find it easy to find the exciting good around you, to see the happy holiness in the people around you and to celebrate it.

Ellen

Don’t you find it interesting that the same soil that gives us green broccoli and green beans and green lettuce also gives us this deep aubergine of the eggplant?

When this color of purple appears, it’s to remind us that within the very ordinary are the ingredients for the extraordinary.

Expect a year of grounded understanding and a year where you step into your sovereignity, quite naturally.

This is a year where it won’t matter so much what other people think of you, because you will understand the innate value of yourself and the daily value you bring to your work, your people, and your life.

This is a grounding purple.  This is a purple where you work from that deeply intuitive place, trusting your gut. Nothing can harm you. You’re untouchable.

I’d pair this with a touch of pumpkin orange around the edges to truly make this year one of queenly brilliance.

Greg

Ah! What a refreshing color! Wow! If the ability to be in on the cosmic joke could be expressed as a color, it’d be this vibrant light purple-lavender.

This is light, profound connection with all that is, with the divine, with the cosmos.  It’s not taking it all too seriously. It’s the color of a happy buddha.

You know that feeling when you see all of the cosmic connections between people and events, and it makes you laugh to see such synergy?  Yes, that.  This is synergistic pleasure and happiness, and also a dash of being a conduit of divine wisdom, and a sharer of the global experience.

Juanita

Originally, I had a lighter color here, but when I saw you write that you saw a purple black, I tried to find a color that was a more accurate representation.

Do you remember, as a child, hiding under the table or even better, hiding under a pew in church. People walking right by you and not knowing you’re there?

That’s this color. This color is an initiation into the dark, quiet hush that others walk right by, not noticing.

It’s the color of repose, of old wisdom, of being welcomed into the fold of a long lineage. Still, being a child in an order of ancients.  Relax into it.  Dream.

Karen

Ocean rising.  Green moving to teal  to blue, to purple to violet and back. Flowing.

This is a suggestion that while you experience many different moods and ideas, you see what stays the same throughout your experience.

For though the colors change, they’re made up of the same thing, water and light.

There is less pressure near the top of the ocean, where the colors are the brightest.

Expect a year of light, teeming with life, and all of the good and difficult that comes with it. Pay attention to what stays constant.

Kitty

This light grey-purple is a quiet color, a time of subtle softness.

This is the color of Sunday afternoon winter naps, when you slip between the covers of your bed and your sheets feel cold through your pajamas.

It’s the color of winter light. It’s a time to be quiet and take things in at your own pace. You do not need to rush.

It is definitely the color of divine interaction, but more the soft brush of the feminine divine, the soothing hand brushing the hair off your face. It’s a good, soft time.

Kyeli

Whoa! This purple rocks! What a gorgeous, bright, yet natural purple!

You know that part of you that feels light on your feet, that’s fleet and fun and happy? Yeah, that part is going to be front and center this year.

This is a royal color, a sovereign color but it’s the color of a merry queen, someone who is the head of a happy, working queendom.

There’s no confusion in this color. Nothing to figure out. Nothing even, really, to do other than to take pleasure in your experience.

Purple is always about the crown chakra.  One would expect divine interaction, but I’m not getting that. I’m getting more that this is the color of tapping into the joy of collective consciousness.

Liberty

This color really threw me, Liberty! But then I thought of this color applied to yarn (because I can’t think of you and not think of yarn!).

It’s earthy. Mineral. The color of slate. This quiet color is indicative of finding peace in natural circumstances.  Peace in nature.

This color asks you to slow down and notice the subtle changes in the everyday. There’s beauty that you will see that nearly everybody else will miss.

This color is a reminder that even in the most ordinary of times, there’s incredible beauty and joy to be found.

Liz

Oh Liz. What a gorgeous color! This green is a condensation of the 4th chakra. It’s a clean color of green, one that’s sifted out the parts that don’t belong.

And it’s a deep bottle green. It’s the color of my living room, and that’s no accident, as this room is the heart of my home.

This is the color of a healing heart, not a heart that is healing itself, but actually a heart that heals others.  You are going to have a year of acknowledging that your heart heals the hearts of others, and once you acknowledge it, you’ll be able to take in the acknowledgement of this from others. It’s such a lush, rich color! I am so pleased you chose it!

Meg

This is the straightforward 5th chakra. This is the ability to know exactly the truth of a situation and to articulate that truth with clarity and conviction.

This is a natural evolution of your current way of being.

This color has serious flow to it, and much the same way that the entire sky is blue, this color has an aspect of shared experience.

It’s not just that you are telling the truth or conveying it, you’re holding a space for the sharing of truth.

That saying The truth shall set you free is evident (without that but first it will kick your ass crap.)

Looking forward to hearing your crisp, clear words.

Michelle

Wow! Check out this violet! This nearly ended up in the pink section, but there’s just enough purple to put it here.

Your intuition is going to play a key role in this year.  You’re going to learn to rely on that incredible 6th sense of yours.

The depth of this color is stunning. It points to a significant change in your way of being.

This change, tied to your ability to easily rely on your intuition, indicates that you’re going to come through this year with a completely different understanding of your worth. And that understanding is going to come from using your intuition in a deep, profound way.

Mike

This midnight sky purple velvet is all about wisdom and mystery. Similar to Alannah’s but deeper and bluer.  When you are out in the country, and you look up at the night sky, there’s no direction that would give you a two-inch patch of dark, is there?

And yet, we have this one here. This is the wisdom between the light. And in much the same way we can see light from stars that burned out a thousand years ago, we can gain wisdom from nothingness.  We can gain wisdom from the space between the light. That’s what your year is about. It’s about the mystery of nothing, of anti-matter, the wisdom of clear space.

It’s decluttered clarity, a making of space for you and for your people, and a reveling in the joy of nothingness.

Rachael

I think Martha Stewart has chickens that lay eggs this color.

This beautiful wedgwood blue is soft and kind. It’s a simple summer-time hue of clothes on clotheslines.

This is a year of happy and simple and uncomplicated. It’s kind of a year off from having to try too hard, or from being plagued with problems and annoyances. It’s a good time year.

Expect softness.  This would be a good year to regroup too, to take some time to decide what you enjoy and what matters, but in a light way, not too serious.

Sara

I love sea cows. They are so gentle. This color is muted and dark, a green-grey.

This is the time when you sit back, sit quietly and ponder what’s in your heart. It’s not a time for doing anything but sifting and thinking and feeling.

Your heart is safe, but it needs the application of your gentle clarity. A quiet time to understand your own heart’s wisdom, and your place in your family and greater community.

Here’s to a soothing year, my dear.

Stacey

This color is the color of the ocean at night, the nautical blue that’s seen by the person on night’s watch.

I know a fellow who owns a company that sails boats from France to the US. Often, he’s made this trip alone. When you sail alone across the ocean, you’re at sea for several weeks. And although the ocean is vast, it’s not impossible to meet a ship.

So Steve would set an egg timer for 15 minutes, fall asleep, and then when it dinged, he’d wake up and look around and make sure there wasn’t a ship on the horizon. The horizon line was 15 minutes away.

Then he’d fall back asleep.  Sleep for 15 minutes at a time all the way across the ocean.

This year is a year of night’s watch. A quiet night with a few ships met.  This is a year where you will feel how strong and confident you are, what a lovely vessel of a life you are on.

You do not have to worry about not having enough sleep. You’re not alone on your journey. Take pleasure in the night, on your ship, on a gentle sea.

Susie

Oh Susie, I am so pleased you chose this Iris color instead of Tangerine Tango. It’s much more inline with your energy.

This bright vibrant blue-purple is natural exuberance, a heady dance of bright. This color can’t last forever, but for this year, you’ll find yourself pretty happy, pretty joyful and with plenty of energy.

This is a time of connection, of sharing and eating and dancing.

Have a great year!

Tina

Power-up plum is aptly named. It’s the combination of red and purple, usually with a brush of grey-blue.

The red is the 1st chakra. It’s blood, sustenance, chutzpah, guts.

The purple is the crown chakra, the 7th. It’s wisdom, divination, collective conscious.

When these are combined, it brings into power every other chakra as well. This is the revved up engine of a powerful year.

And the best part is that you are in control of this year.  You get to manage this thrilling adventure, and you’re up for it.

Virginia

Your blue is not that different from my color or Meg’s. It’s got a little more white in it, which means that your 5th chakra truths won’t be so intense.

You can expect clear, gorgeous communication, and the integration of intuitive information with observed information.

You’ll combine the tangible with the ethereal.

You’ll combine the linear with the tangential. You’ll speak and hear clearly, and be in context with the tides.

This color is a balancing act. It’s fluidity incarnate. You’re going to have a great time!
