Planets and Colours in Vedic Astrology

Every person has a different liking for a single colour. Such liking of colour of a person can tell status of his soul, body and mind. Many times we see that by seeing a special colour we feel very happy and sometimes we get very irritated by looking at the same colour. Sometimes by wearing a particular colour we get success in works. Sometimes fail to get such results with another colour. This shows some colours are lucky and some unlucky for a person.

If we study deeply we will find that a particular colour has a particular wave length because of which our mind feels a particular vibration and when this vibration synchronizes with our mind we feel good and when it does not synchronize with our mind we feel irritation.

Good vibrations bestow good mood or good mental state in which we are able to work better and take right decisions to be successful in actions. Therefore, there is a great importance of colours in our day to day life. Every colour has a particular quality and is governed by a specific planet. As we use other remedies for a particular planet in the same way we can also use this colour therapy for planet remedies. By use of this colour therapy we can increase the effect of planets and by ignoring a particular colour we can protect ourselves from the malefic influence of an evil or unfavourable planet.
