Colorstrology
Intuitive, astrologer, and numerologist Michele Bernhardt has put her broad metaphysical wisdom together to develop a remarkable system that ascribes a different Pantone colour to every day and every month of the year. It takes into account your sun signs, ruling planets, and the numerological significance of different dates to interpret and analyse a given individual or event. Mapped out in Bernhardt’s book, Colorstrology: What Your Birthday Color Says About You, the system is both insightful and entertaining. Figuring out which colour represents your birthday and what attributes are associated with that shade, as well as what colours represent the birthdays...
