Zodiac Signs and Color Meanings
Zodiac signs are funny things. I've been studying astrological signs for almost two decades now. -You know what I've found? Every piece of research material I pick up says something a littledifferent (and sometimes contradictory) to the next piece. This used to frustrate me. I wanted everything consistent. I wanted all astro-answerswrapped up in a tidy little package. Eventually (with the perspective of age, I suppose), my attitude calmed down a bit.These days, I rather like the variables. I get a little giddy when I see contradictions in opinion or research material. Why? Because it confirms what I've been touting all along...that conclusive labels are restrictive. Sure...it's good to have basic guidelines. But when it comes to personalities, astrological associations and symbolic meanings...there should be no rule book. No single human is alike. The variables in zodiac signs in my research are just another confirmation that the unique dynamism of the human cannot be contained.All this to say: I've done plenty of research on zodiac signs and their corresponding color meanings.
What I'm providing here may differ from your research or opinion. That's okay! I'm simply offering the results from my observations over the years via interpreting zodiac signs and their affinity to various colors.Furthermore, these color assignments for zodiac signs are not "the rule". Consider: Your astrological canvas is made of more than just your sun sign color (upon which these color meanings are based). You've got a moon sign color, ascendant color, etc. So it stands to reason there will be lovely shades that bleed in and makea nice palate of color that make you unique and vibrant.As you read through these zodiac signs and their corresponding color meanings, I encourage you to remember - we are not bound by a single label (or color, for that matter). This article is intended for the sole purpose of discovery and exploration into your personality through the colorful lens of astrology.Now enough with my preamble...let's get to the nitty gritty of zodiac signs and color meanings.Zodiac Signs and Their Corresponding Color MeaningsAriesRed: It's no wonder Aries zodiac signs are blazing the color-trail with red.

Green is symbolic of family and unity. Hearth and home are of prime importance to you.

As a grounding color, green implies a gift with gaining material resources and even skill in money matters. You Taurus' can tap into the color of money with your green goodness.
