If you are decorating your home, sending a present to a friend, or snuggling in a favorite sweater, here are the colors that work well for each astrology sign.

Red - Aries, sign of fire, is energized by strong red colors. Capricorn's gemstone is the red garnet. Scorpio also enjoys the fiery passion of red.

Yellow - Gemini, a dual sign, has a single strength as far as colors go. Their base color and stone color both draw from the yellows of the sun. Leo the lion enjoys sun-colors as well.

Green - Capricorn draws strength from rich greens. Pisces, the fish sign, tends towards the paler greens.

Blue - Aquarius has a base color of deep blue, the depths of water. Taurus, the stable sign, enjoys the lighter blue of lakes and streams.

Indigo - Libra is a sign of balance, the deep purple appeals to libra.

Violet - Aquarius has the amethyst as its gemstone, which is a light purple. Saggitarius enjoys the more rich purple color.

Brown - Virgo is the sign of strength, of earth. Virgo enjoys the browns that come from the stability of our land.

White - Aries' gemstone is the diamond, brilliant white. Cancer enjoys the more subtle whites in a pearl.

Silver - Cancer's energizing color is silver.

Looking to buy a new charm or necklace for the one you love? Be sure to get something that matches their astrological sign! Remember, people have not only a sun (primary) sign but also a moon (secondary) sign. Learn and understand both!

Agate - Gemini is the one who connects best with the agate.

Amethyst - The watery hues of amethyst go with the water bearer, Aquarius.

Aquamarine - Another watery gem, this one for the fishy Pisces.

Diamond - Diamonds perfectly match the brilliance and strength of the Aries personality. They also represent the precise fairness of the Libra.

Emerald - Taurus' love of home and hearth reflect nicely in the greens of the emerald.

Garnet - The smoky colors of the garnet help focus the determined Capricorn.

Pearl - It's fitting that the underwater pearl shines for the Cancer crab.

Ruby - The fiery ruby is the stone of the passionate, magnetic Leo.

Sapphire - Virgo's beauty and true-blue nature are a perfect match for the sapphire.

Topaz - Scorpio's passionate nature can be seen in the swirls of a topaz.

ARIES

Red is the color of the red planet Mars. This is the color of love, fertility, and energy. It signals action and can keep you alert or provide extra courage when needed. Like Aries, seeing the color red gives strength of will and can act as a pick-me-up when depressed. Wearing red will actually raise your temperature and increase body heat, possibly because it is linked to raising blood pressure and circulation. It is good for those who are anemic, but not advisable for those with high blood pressure, as red acts as a stimulant and releases adrenaline into bloodstream. Red acts as a detoxifier for the psyche as well as the body and can help fight infection.

TAURUS

Pink, which is less active and aggressive than red, has an endearing quality. Psychologically, it is chosen by those seeking affection and has the ability to engender unconditional love, which appeals to the Taurean desire for domestic bliss. It protects and brings peace of mind, especially if grieving the loss of a loved one. Pink signifies Taurus's comfort zone, as this ray gives soothing, comforting vibes.

GEMINI

The Mercurial color is yellow, which signifies agility of mind, intellect, and inspirational thought. Yellow is good to wear if you are feeling down or shy, as it brings feelings of optimism and buoyancy. It cleanses the emotional "baggage" and even eliminates waste from our body. Wearing shades of yellow can help control weight, as it aims to maintain a correct balance of liquids in the body. Yellow can also help in the treatment of skin complaints such as eczema.

CANCER

White, silver, and even grey are Moon colors. The purity of white instills a sense of tranquility and peace. It should not be used to the exclusion of other colors, as white on its own can be passive, even deathly still, both physically and psychologically. Grey provides a bridge between black and white and opens doors to subtle moods. Silver is more versatile tone, with its reflective, glitzy vibrancy; it suggests optimism in the present, but makes you aware of the relfections of the past. Silver has the cold charm of a moonlit night.

LEO

Leo colors shine from sunup to sundown, radiating rich orange-gold hues, which emit positive vibes of well-being, warmth, and optimism. Orange tones deal with conditions that are dormant, bringing them out into the open. Gold and rich oranges are the colors to surround yourself with if you are undergoing massive emotional disruption, such as divorce, as these colors will help to stabilize your emotions. Leo colors also help to increase appetite and improve intestinal disorders, owing to their stimulating quality.

VIRGO

Earthy colors, such as dark brown, green, and even strong navy blue are Virgo shades. Navy blue, a strong and cool color, instills self-confidence and helps steady nerves. Green aids balance in all things and is a typical healing hue. Blues and greens are excellent for calming frayed nerves, especially if there is anxiety or fear of a breakdown. Boost your nervous sytem with these tones.

LIBRA

Soft pastel shades, from blue to pale green, are ruled by Venus and are symbolic of femininity, but also subtly emante messages of regeneration, balance, and fertility. Soft blues heal, as they encourage relaxation and tranquility. Pale greens are neither warming nor cooling, but act as a tonic, balancing the mind, body, and spirit. Libran colors offer sanctuary from a stressful world. As Libra is of the air element, doing breathing exercises while visualizing Libra colors will enhance vitality and well-being.

SCORPIO

Dark reds to maroon hues, reflecting the tones of autumnal berries, are the shades of Pluto-ruled Scorpio. These blood-red hues, although less vibrant than Arian crimson or scarlet, signify a warmth that holds strong undercurrents of heat. Scorpionic colors are sociable and active, with an undercurrent of mystery. Black is also owned by Scorpio. Scorpio colors give power, strength, and sociability, exuding sexual as well as dynamic change to those in its path.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius colors, ranging from dark blues to purple, emit cool confidence. These shades reflect the cooler spectrum of the color chart and are useful when there is a need to instill quiet confidence or even to sedate someone suffering from anxiety. Purple denotes creative energy and spiritual wisdom. Those who seek this color desire an experience of oneness with a higher power, yearn for an understanding of the true meaning of life's journey, and are compelled by an urge to search for greater understanding of who we are within a smaller but increasingly chaotic world.

CAPRICORN

As you would expect from Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, its colors represent power that consolidates and sets boundaries. After all, why do most police foreces wear black? Just as Capricorn is associated with limitations, so, too, do black, dark grey, and brown denote enclosing, even shutting off. This is nowhere more so than when bidding a funereal farewell. Choose carefully these hues, if you want protection and a sense of enclosing space. Black is also a symbol of infertility within many cultures, and it signals the finality of life. But it can also act as a release and an awareness of time and nature with its never-ending cycle of life and death.

AQUARIUS

Turquoise blue denotes a desire for peace and order, and it is the color of the present time -- the Age of Aquarius. Wearing this color helps to quiet the mind and soul; it has a cooling, even cleansing, effect on the mind. Turquoise acts as a de-stressant and can even relieve insomnia. Many hospitals employ this tint for its healing influence, as it is said to speed up the healing process and ease symptoms such as asthma and breathlessness. This ray brings peace and calms the mind, as well as cools down the nervous system.

PISCES

What can soft pea-green, indigo, and violet do for you? If you need to learn to love yourself and achieve greater self-worth, then look to watery Neptunian tones. Rich regal indigo indicates knowledge, self-respect, and spirituality. Violet is the color of the crown chakra, the energy center within the body that is closely linked to the "third eye," which is said to be the center of creative visualization and psychic pereption. Violet is linked to healing knocks on the head and skin eruptions via the nervous system, and it can help to induce sleep.

Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

Cancers tend to hide their innermost feelings, and like the hemit crab, will scuttle away at the faintest hint of anything difficult or emotional.They really are moon people, and the moon does affect them very much, and they can get very moody at full moon times.

Scorpio has always been noted for its sting, and aggressiveness, but unlike other star signs, scorpio has been broken into four levels of intensity, and may be totally different people even though they share the same characteristics and share two planets.

The color red symbolizes Scorpio's drive and energy and also the changing faces and forces that make Scorpios so daunting and dangerous, and so very exciting.

They make great husbands, wives and managers, and really have everything in the right place.

The rich colors highlight their rich lives, but being human, they can give up and work at their misery when they feel defeated.

The birthstone of Aquarius is the amythyst with its reflecting lights of purple, and the Mystical stone is bloodstone, which is a deep jasper flecked with red, again the life ahead symbolism.

Aquarians are very modern people who keep up with what is in fashion and what is the latest, and you can always get what is current from an Aquarian, because they simply have to be ahead because they are the leaders of style.

The color purple is used by Royalty and people in authority to symbolise their high rank, and Aquarians are purple for their forward views and their attention to what is ahead

Secretive and vague
Weak-willed and easily led

The birthstone of Pisces is the Aquamarine, and Jade. The Aquamarine symbolises the easy idealism of the Pisces, which leads them into creating many beautiful works and environments.

Their very sensitive nature, sometimes gets read as reticent, and they may miss out on experiences because of their inability to make instant decisions.

They are characterized by two fish swimming after each others tails, and this is the desire following the fear of action.

The pales greenish blues of Aquamarine, harmonize the piscean, as they sail carefully through life, ever watchful for sharks.
