Key words:<\/strong> Warm, determined, authoritative, energtic, action; Compassion, harmony, sociability, harvest<\/p>\n

Imagine yourself on a beach at sunset. An orange ball of flames<\/u><\/strong> sits on the horizon, it\u2019s dominance in nature allows it to fill the sky with color. This majestic sight, all at once, inspires awe at the determination<\/u><\/strong> with which it presents itself, and warms<\/u><\/strong> us in it\u2019s presence. Orange is ruled by the sun<\/u><\/strong>, it\u2019s symbol is fire<\/u><\/strong> and flames<\/u><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Yet as the sun warms<\/u><\/strong>, it can also burn. The sun represents our ego. While orange can represent our creative<\/u><\/strong> energy<\/u><\/strong>, it can also make us forget our need to be humble, making us overly prideful,<\/u><\/strong> restless<\/u><\/strong> and impatient<\/u><\/strong> with those around us. <\/p>\n

As fire<\/em> warms, it can also burn. The energy<\/u><\/strong> of flames<\/u><\/strong> is mesmerizing<\/u><\/strong> and meditative<\/u><\/strong> but, out of control, it can move impulsively<\/u><\/strong> and recklessly<\/u><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Sitting between red (Mars<\/strong>) and yellow (Mercury<\/strong>) on the color scale, orange doesn\u2019t have the passion or aggression of red, but has a fiery<\/u><\/strong>, authoritative<\/u><\/strong>, determined<\/u><\/strong>, energy<\/u><\/strong>, giving us ambition<\/u><\/strong>, moving us to take action<\/u><\/strong>. Not quite reaching the airy happiness of yellow, it has a calm<\/strong> joy<\/u><\/strong>: a harvesting<\/u><\/strong> of the fulfillment<\/u><\/strong> we seek.<\/p>\n

In that vein, orange is the color of the second chakra, which sits between the red root chakra and the yellow solar plexis chakra. The orange sacral chakra controls our sense of well-being<\/u><\/strong> & contentment<\/u><\/strong>. <\/p>\n
