our Horoscope in Colour


Very few people are a pure manifestation of their Sun Sign as described in Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs, because that pure colour is dampened or heightened by the effects of eleven other planets in other zones of their horoscope, pulling in different directions and overlaying their colours onto the original Sun Sign colour. We look into this level of complexity in Books 7-9.


Until those books are ready, you may want get a hint of what a full colour horoscope would look like, because its colour harmonies and dissonances would give you a pretty good picture of the easy and difficult areas of any person’s life. To take a single example, if Gemini is in your marriage house (Orange), with the sensual planet Venus in it to stand for your destined marriage partner, the overlay of Venusian Green over Orange produces a rather a muddy effect which alludes to the condition of the marriage.


Because Geminis are intellectual Air signs, they would find it had to handle a wife who is as physical and sensual as the planet Venus indicates, and the colour mix indicate this– the prognosis for the marriage would not be good, whereas if Uranus was in the marriage house, its Mauve would contrast pleasingly with the Orange of Gemini.


As a simple beginning the Sun Sign of a person (which is all we are asking you to look for in these beginners’ exercises) gives an pretty good rule of thumb on what to expect about their basic nature and centre of their being (just as the Sun is the centre of the solar system). These characteristics (which you can look up in Linda Goodman) will show up clearly in one particular zone of their life, since the Sun on their full horoscope would appear in one of twelve possible zones of their life.


If you really want to know more precisely about yourself, a friend or an enemy, you will need to go to a professional astrologer and have a proper horoscope drawn up,


which you can then translate into colours, using Cosmokrator as reference. In other words you would draw out a blank horoscope with a double circle, one for the planets and one for the signs, fill in the symbols in the right places according to the horoscope given, and finally paint in their colours using Cosmokrator as a guide. For the colours to use, see under Cosmokrator’s Colours.


You can then go a step further and fill in the horoscope of ‘your significant other’ with their colours. Compare the two, house by house, laying them over each other, or side by side. Without knowing a lot about astrology you can feel from the colour matching how well you fit (or don’t) in that person’s life. Some compartments of life may well be good matches (at work, for instance) while others (say in the intimacy of the home, or on money matters) might be dissonant. A double check by reading Linda Goodman’s Love Signs will confirm the intuitive conclusions you come to on the basis of colour alone!


Remember again that very few people are a pure manifestation of their Sun Sign as described in Linda Goodman’s books, because that pure colour is dampened or heightened by the effects of eleven other planets in their horoscope, affecting it from different direction and overlaying their colours onto the original Sun Sign colour. All the same, as a beginning, the Sun Sign of a particular person given a pretty good rule of thumb as to what to expect of them, even though it may only apply to one particular zone of their life, for the Sun will appear in only one of twelve possible activities of their lives – these are the Houses of the horoscope.


Because we are talking about oppositions, it means the attraction is dramatic and electric, and the tension can sometimes be unbearable: there is a very narrow line across which intense complementarity can give way to enmity! That is what makes it so exciting. When by using Cosmokrator’s colours you analyse your colleagues at work, or family friends at a party, you may not only be identifying great loves, but also great enmities – and the swing between the two.


If you really want to know the full detail about yourself and others you will need to go to a professional astrologer and have a full horoscope drawn up, which you can translate very precisely into colours by referring to Cosmokrator!
