Colorstrology may not be a term that is widely known, but it is a fascinating new branch of astrology! Not only does it use details of someone’s birth, but it also utilizes a whole range of colors in the spectrum. This new way of divination therefore blends an already established discipline with modernity. This is an exciting prospect, especially that there are a lot of possibilities that can come out of it! But what is this newfangled thing all about? Read on to find out!
What is birthday color Colorstrology?
Colorstrology is short for birthday color astrology. This new branch of astrology believes that every month and every day has a color assigned to it. These colors then have meanings that influence the lives born during these certain days. However, while traditional astrology says a lot about a person’s life and future, this focuses on one’s personality. How a person utilizes their personality would then be up to them. What matters is that they are able to develop an understanding of themselves and use it to live a better life.
Birthday Colorstrology has its roots from famous astrologer Michele Bernhardt and the color company Pantone. The former was reportedly approached by the latter and pitched the idea of a color-oriented calendar of personality traits. Bernhardt then developed Colorstrology so that people can understand themselves in a fun way. Unlike traditional astrology that utilizes so many cosmic movements such as retrogrades, solstices, among others, Colorstrology does not. It focuses on the person themselves, and their strengths and weaknesses based on the color of their birth date.

Why is my Colorstrology birthday color a different shade from that of my birth month?
Everyone has quirks, and because of that, not everyone has the same birthdate Colorstrology to that of their birth month. There are numerous resources from which you can get interpretations of your personal Colorstrology. Among the most important ones is the book Colorstrology: What Your Birthday Color Says About You written by Michele Bernhardt themself.
It doesn’t mean that you are any less an amazing individual if your birthdate shade is different from your birth month. Rather, it signifies how much of an amazing and unique person you are. Numerous colors make up the universe, and it will be a shade emptier without the color that makes you, you.
Why should I pay attention to Colorstrology?
As said, this new, modern flavor of astrology gets along with the times. While the traditional version is very much a classic, it doesn’t mean that it has to be absolutely the only one that people can touch upon. It can help someone find a sense of belonging among people who have similar colors to them, and perhaps kickstart someone’s creativity.
Does this mean that you can only wear or use the colors assigned on your month and birthdate? Of course not! The universe is created in a whole spectrum of colors imaginable. Instead, it guides you in not just what is possibly fashionable for you, but also helps you understand yourself better. The meanings behind every color can give you a sense of identity that you can then use to navigate this greater world.
Closing Thoughts
Colorstrology is an amazing new branch of astrology. It blends the quirks of modernity, along with the divine and benevolent purpose of astrology. Indeed, it makes people interested in cosmic movements, even the smallest ones! With the use of colors, understanding others and oneself is much more fun and streamlined.
