What am I?

If you are a little interested in finding clues to what the meaning of your life may be you come across all sorts of mysticism telling you who you are. Some are ancient traditions with well tested analysis of personality and some are new age stuff which has an all new jargon for these things. Well, astrologically I knew I was a proper Capricorn with Taurus rising, a Makara in Indian, and a devoted metal Dog of Chinese astrology. Ayurvedically, that is according to Indian medicine I have the constitution of Vata, which is Air, with a little Pitta, Fire and this makes me more of a visionary and thinker than an engineer or a manager. My numerology turned out to be 8, the number of periodic renewal, not a mystic but a secure number. I even took the earth angels challenge and I turned out to be a Starperson which explains why I feel like an alien sometimes:) Recently I was pretty amazed by the results of yet another test about life colors. This is about our auras, mostly coming from birth but also developing in life. I knew that I wouldn’t be one of those Indigo or Crystal kids but now I can be proud of my Violet/Yellow aura.

Yes, now I know I have a violet aura around my airy metallic doggy sea-goat self. I’m not purely violet though. The yellow explains why I don’t take things so seriously but rather playfully and some blue which explains other things. But I’m mostly violet (see below) and I think that counts for more.


Here are a few paragraphs on Violet, from the book Life Colors by Pamala Oslie. I just picked those lines which felt closest to mirroring who I actually am.

Violets are here to save the planet and save it for the better. Violets have an inner sense that they are here to do something important, that their destiny is greater than that of the average person. Because this is a Violet Age, any Violets who are not accomplishing what they came here to do are having an inner “push” –even an inner “earthquake”. These visionaries also love to travel. (Since Violets are here to save the planet, they have to see and understand what they need to save.) Violets’ careers and lifestyles must afford them the freedom to travel or they will become frustrated and feel limited and unfulfilled. They need to travel the world, explore other cultures and expand their horizons.

Violets believe that what they “see” is common sense. They do not understand why everyone can’t see what they see… Violets are often accused of being idealistic dreamers.

Violets want relationships, but their lives won’t be put on hold for them. They want partners who will live their vision with them, share a similar path and be an inspiration to them. They want mates who are willing to travel with them.

Violets judge their success by the quality of their performances, and by their ability to effectively reach their audience. Violets have a statement to make. They feel fulfilled when they know they have reached the world with their message and have inspired change. Violets need t know that they have done their part in making the planet a better place in which to live.


If you know me, you may join me in saying “wow, so correct”. If you don’t know me that well these words can help you. If you want to fıgure out what your color can be take the test here.
