What It Means If You Have A Gold Aura + How To Thrive With It

Auras are thought to be the unseen energetic field around all living things, and they can manifest as a particular color depending on your emotional state. While you may not be able to see auras with your naked eye, you can get a professional aura reading, have an aura portrait taken, or even take an aura quiz.

Gold auras are very rare and often indicate a high degree of spirituality, according to Megan Michaela Firester (aka Mystic Michaela). "They have a secondary type appearance to them, as I will see people develop them rather than be born with them," she tells mbg.

Generally speaking, folks with gold auras are people with "a clear understanding and grasp of their soul contract duties in this lifetime," Firester says, adding they will have also secured a pathway for achieving what they're meant to achieve in this lifetime.

Again, gold auras are rare and typically indicate a spiritual person. A true gold aura, according to Firester, is a mark of someone who has a deep connection to their purpose on this earth plane.

If a gold aura appears in a bright metallic shade, Firester notes it can indicate strong speaking skills. These people "are usually amazing speakers and can use their voice and physical presence to bring about change," she says. Other people will likely have "a mesmerizing need to listen to them," because they evoke so much truth and trust in those they direct their messages toward.

All the various aura colors are very closely linked with the chakra colors, and in the case of gold, it's actually related to the four higher chakras: the heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras. While the lower three (the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras) have more to do with earthly and personal matters, once we reach the heart and up, we're able to share ourselves with the world in a healthy way.

Through the heart, we share love and compassion, and through the throat, our truth. The third eye relates to intuition and wisdom, and the crown is about higher spirituality and divinity.

According to Firester, one strength of having a gold aura is the ability to reach others and capture their attention.

While gold is a strong and influential aura color to have, Firester notes that the brightest of flames can still burn out. As such, "The weakness of this aura color is that it burns so bright but cannot always last for long," she tells mbg, adding that sometimes society has a hard time embracing those with gold auras.

When it comes to love and relationships, people with gold auras can make dedicated, loving, and loyal partners. They prefer to put their heart into the things they commit to, though Firester does note that spiritual missions can take precedence.

"They tend to have a one-track mindset to their mission, so while I will see them having people in their lives who love them and support them, they tend to prioritize their connection with spirit, and the teachings they bring to others over relationships," she explains.

In their careers, people with gold auras are going to do their utmost best to find purposeful work that means something more to them than just making a paycheck. Whether it be a "spiritual" career path or not, what matters is these people feel connected to the work they're doing.

If you think you might have a gold aura and are wondering how to thrive, according to Firester, the main thing to focus on is allowing yourself time to recharge, considering you give so much of yourself.

"Those with a golden aura do need lots of spiritual rest and retreat, and a place in which to funnel this strong spiritual energy," she explains.
