What It Means When You Have An Orange Aura & How To Work With It

In spiritual circles, auras are unseen energy fields that surround all living things and tend to take on a particular color or colors. Your own aura can change day to day, and even minute to minute, depending on your mood and emotions.

Still, many people will have one or two aura colors consistently show up around them—and each shade has its own meaning and significance. (If you're curious, here's the story behind every aura color, from blue to purple, red to yellow.)

Orange is related to the sacral chakra, the second of the seven chakras that deals with creative, sexual energy, as well as how we relate to ourselves and others.

"Overall an orange aura represents creativity and intense energy," Kaiser says. "Orange is associated with the sacral chakra, associated with the emotional body and sensuality."

Because orange energy is so action-oriented and fast-moving, those with this aura color have a tendency to burn out, Kaiser and Michaela both note. "They are often impatient and tend to rush into things like projects, relationships and experiences too quickly," Kaiser says, "and then feel regret."

People who consistently have an orange aura do have a tendency to do things their own way, Michaela says, and can struggle with compromise. But they're also very tapped into the world of sensuality and pleasure, which keeps all their relationships interesting.

Folks with orange auras are confident, good at making solid first impressions, and have no problem taking charge. This makes them well-equipped for sales jobs and client-facing roles, Kaiser says.

They can do well on a team, thanks to their charm, but do like to take the lead. "Any job where they can be in charge and flip the script or change things—they love that," Michaela adds. "They're often at the top, think CEO's," she adds.

If you think you're in the company of an orange aura, Michaela says one of the most important things to do is not get overly swept up in their inspiration and charisma. If you're not into an idea or plan of theirs, for instance, you'll need to be firm.

Ultimately, because orange is so high energy and volatile, orange auras are less common than other colors like blue or yellow, for example. But when you're glowing orange, it means you're feeling energized, creative, and ready to take action. It's a powerful energy that, when harnessed, can lead to positive change and action.
