Color　Colors can influence more than your mood. Each color has a special significance in attracting, or repelling1, the power of the planets.

　　Black　Saturn2 is attracted by black, and because Saturn has a negative effect on children, youngsters are cautioned never to wear black clothing. It is a good color, however, for persons born under the signs of Libra3, Aquarius4, or Capricorn5.

　　Blue　The color associated with Venus as well as the color of the sky, blue has been sacred in religions dating back to prehistoric times. Today it is associated with the Virgin Mary6. We sometimes say we are “blue” when we are less than happy. Still, blue is a happy, even lucky color for most of us. And when we have unexpected good luck, we often say it came “out of the blue7.” It is an especially lucky color for people born under the signs of Aquarius, Libra, and Taurus8.

　　Blue neckbands9 have been worn for centuries by nursing mothers in parts of Europe. They believe the color protects their babies from fevers. And what bride would tempt fate10 by walking down the aisle11 without “something borrowed, something blue12”?
