Having your aura photographed is basically a rite of passage. If you haven't heard of this Instagrammable phenomenon, you must be living under a rock. Celebrities like Emma Roberts, Zosia Mamet, and Gwyneth Paltrow have all hopped on the trend over the years, and if you haven't had your aura photographed yet, you should get it done ASAP. Besides getting to see your money-making face flushed in vibrant colors, what color your astrology aura is says so much about the person you are and the way you've been feeling lately. It's no surprise that there are a variety of unique colors associated with each zodiac sign.

If you consider yourself to be an astrology enthusiast, then chances are you’ve done your fair share of research, which then probably led you down an endless rabbit hole of information… and yet, many wouldn’t have it any other way. Studying astrology can take things to a whole other level, because the power that each sign in the zodiac holds can also reveal itself in various forms of energy, and this is especially true when considering the seven chakras of your spirit. For instance, when your aura is photographed or deciphered by someone who is a clairvoyant, you will be able to see which parts of your birth chart you're utilizing most.

For example, when I first had my aura photographed, the most prominent colors present in my energy were bright red and violet. At that moment in my life, it meant I was most in tune with my Mars sign, which is in Aries, and my moon sign, which is in Pisces. Fascinating, right? And hey, maybe your aura colors currently have nothing to do with your birth chart, which can also happen. Although, in that particular case, it would mean you're ~transcending~ it, which is probably even more fascinating. After all, we are ever-changing beings, but getting acquainted with your astrology aura can also help validate your connection to the color spectrum. Energy speaks louder than words, and your cosmic DNA is no different.

If you don't know the details of your birth chart, use this calculator to find out. Then, get your aura photographed immediately and see what parts of your personality are strongest lately.
