Tarot card reading is based on the study and interpretation of colors, imagery, symbols, numbers, and planetary influences as visible on the card.

Hence, Colors play a significant role in facilitating guidance during a tarot reading session and are studied at two distinct levels. First, the overall dominant color of the card is indicative of the tarot suit it belongs to (based on the four basic elements – fire, air, water, earth) and the second aspect includes the color of the specific imagery and symbols on the card that aids in interpretation and intuitive guidance. While the interpretations based on visible colors is perhaps the most pre-dominant aspect of tarot reading, the interpretations that appear from study of numbers(numerology),planetary positions(astrology),pictorial symbols(symbology),require detailed study in them selves.

The colours used in the tarot cards are an expression of different Chakra energies and qualities making it easier to understand at a deeper level. When you look at a tarot card, the first impression you will receive from it comes from the predominant colours. 

Throughout our lives, we are surrounded by colour, and each colour influences us, and shapes our reality. The colours that you choose for your home, and for the clothes you wear, have an effect on you, and make a statement about you which other people unconsciously respond to.

Think of how you feel after a day in the countryside, surrounded by myriad shades of green. How do you feel when you gaze at the endless expanse of the sea, or the deep blue/black of the night sky? If you were to spend a day in a closed dark room, what feelings would you experience? Colours have the power to heal, to evoke feelings, to create an intuitive resonance between the conscious and unconscious mind. They also have the power to attract your attention to ‘wake up’ & take notice of that which you might be missing.

Thus, Colour Consciousness allows us the ability to pick and use our colours wisely.

Here is a brief guide to the chakra rainbow colours (VIBGYOR) that you can apply in all areas of your life.

Violet is associated with the Crown Chakra and is representative of spiritual insights, and the ability to use these in daily life. It is the colour of healing at a high level. Violet is the colour of contemplation, and service to humanity. In the tarot, violet indicates spirituality and compassion.

Indigo is the colour of psychic sensitivity, and clairvoyance, and is associated with the Third Eye Chakra. Indigo stimulates wisdom, and aids clear decision-making through the ability to view situations clearly. In the tarot, indigo represents wisdom, leadership qualities that are connected with the spiritual aspects of the self and deep intuition.

Blue is cooling, calming, and soothing. It lowers the body temperature, the heart rate, and blood pressure. Blue encourages a state of inner peace, and aids clear, direct communication, particularly through spiritual insights. Blue is associated with the Throat Chakra and is also representative of Will Power. In the tarot, blue symbolises matters of the heart, faith, serenity, self expression and devotion.

Green is the colour of balance and harmony & is associated with the Heart Chakra. It helps equalise emotions, and is associated with healing. Another aspect of this colour is creativity, as green helps you to enter a balanced space within yourself that enables creative inspiration to flow more freely. In the tarot, green indicates healing, creativity, harmony, and love.

Yellow is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra & is representative of mental energy, positive mental attitudes, and fulfillment. Yellow stimulates the intellect, and has a physical effect on the stomach and abdominal organs. In the tarot, yellow symbolises an active intellect, a positive attitude & an empowered sense of self.

Orange is a warm, energetic colour associate with the Sacral Chakra. It is the colour of positivity and confidence, and creates an increase in self-esteem and enhances creativity. Orange stimulates the spleen and the vital energy. It can also increase the appetite, and so leads to growth. The colour orange is linked to the Sun. In the tarot, orange signifies happiness & positivity in relationships, financial & material enhancement, creative energy & expression.

Red immediately commands your attention. A red light can instantly alert you, make you aware of danger. It is the colour of willpower, of blood and therefore life-energy. Red inspires optimism and positivity, but too much red can be an irritant, and lead to aggression. Red raises the body temperature, the heart-rate, and the blood-pressure. Red is dynamic, active, energetic and forceful. Associated with the Root Chakra, Red signifies our foundation/roots and keeps us grounded. In the tarot, red indicates energy and drive, willpower, and sometimes forcefulness or aggression.

Remember, we carry a rainbow within us where ever we go. Depending on an active or a depleted chakra in your energy system, you might get drawn to a particular colour or away from it… whatever the reason, the outcome will determine your choice of wardrobe, furniture, film, music, books & even friends. So starting today, choose your colours wisely and transform your reality.
