Colors and the mental activation they spark has been studied for years in psychology. It is used in marketing as well as to bring about certain emotions. The decorations in your house and the colors keep you at a certain frequency emotionally.
When you walk into a restaurant and you see the wait staff, they are usually wearing black. It's interesting that Saturn represents the servant or servitude in Astrology & is associated with the color BLACK. In fashion Black is a sign of elegance, luxury and MYSTERY. It has a slimming effect and it's a staple color in a lot of people's wardrobe. "In physics and on the light spectrum, black is the absence of color. However, in art, black is the presence of all colors. In printing, black is one of the colors needed to produce other colors." in fashion, any color worn with black has an extra POP.
Wearing more black colors will activate SATURN's energy. Excess black can cause depression as it's the darkest color. Saturn exalts in Libra and Libra is the fashion industry, so this color is HUGE in fashion.
Some planets have multiple color associations. Saturn is also associated with Blue as the gemstone for Saturn is blue sapphire. Also, Shani Dev is said to be dark blue in complexion.
So using colors will activate that planet and the house it rules in your horoscope. Wanting more energy for career? Taurus Ascendant - 10h Lord is Saturn - wear more black. Saturn is also yogakaraka (benefic) for Taurus ascendant - so this can help. Be careful though,you increase the planets potential in your horoscope. Think about Saturn's karakas as well. Make sure the planet is friendly to your ascendant too. Cancer Lagnas do good using more deep red colors because of Mars being Yoga Karaka and lord of their 10H. Which improves their career.
Need help with routine? 6H Lord color. Study help? 3H lord color. Relationship help? 7H lord color. I would say test out the colors on the planetary day associated for a couple weeks to start. Because it can get tricky if you are using colors for a planet thats afflicted.
I have noticed in general using colors of kendra (1,4,7,10) or trikona lords(1,5,9)is generally okay. Kendras as Vishnu Sthan (preserving) Trikonas are Lakshmi Sthan (wealth/prosperity giving)
White and Moon - Moon represents Mind - White represents peace of mind, clarity. Mercury & Green - commerce, spreading of seeds, plants and also calms the mind. You may find certain colors you do not like because of the way the planet is placed/aspected in your horoscope.
Jupiter and Sun are besties and they both associated with YELLOW - color of optimism. Beyonce wears a lot of Yellow & Gold and she's a sidereal Leo Sun -- activating her 11H, increasing her mass popularity. She also has Vishakha Moon = GOLDEN
Rihanna wears a lot of Red Red - Mars - Mars rules her 9th house and 2nd house and is in her 10th house - career improvement (10H), monetary gains (2h), world wide success, fortune (9h)
Lady Gaga's first album covers all had heavy black influence. She began to rise in her career during her SATURN dasha. Notice all the black. Interestingly enough on ARTPOP she has a song called Venus & look at the colors.
Amy Winehouse - Back to BLACK (2006) Taurus Ascendant - Using her YOGAKARAKA Saturn (exalted in her 6h in Libra) This is the album that brought her mass acclaim Notice the deep blue in the album cover - Saturn
Colors help you channel the energy of a planet. I’ve seen it work loads of times. People aren’t aware of them activating certain planets.
Like for me, a Cancer Lagna— I probably SHOULDN’T be wearing so many black shirts. Saturn is highly malefic for Cancer lagnas.
