Different Shades of Yellow Auras

1
"True" yellow auras are bubbly and sociable. A yellow aura is in their element when they're around people and have the chance to share their ideas. They see every day as an opportunity to learn more about the world, themselves, and others. They have the natural ability to perk people up and get them pondering all day with their thought-provoking points.^{[2]

Light yellow auras are in a period of spiritual growth. When someone emits a soft light yellow aura, they're just beginning to awaken to their soul's mission—for example, they might receive a vision that they're meant to teach others how to repair their relationships, so they enroll in a love coaching program. Whatever their journey is, a light yellow aura brims with ambition, hope, and curiosity.^{[3]

3
Bright yellow auras are extremely confident. They're the most "take charge" types out of all the yellow auras. They strike up conversations with strangers, race over to help anyone in need, and play up their comedic side to make everyone laugh. If they have any neon spots in their aura, though, it's a sign their energy is imbalanced; they may be overcompensating just to put everyone in a good mood. To stay centered, they should practice self-care.^{[4]

Section 3 of 8:

Yellow Auras and the Solar Plexus Chakra

Yellow auras come from the Solar Plexus Chakra, an orb of energy in your stomach. The Solar Plexus Chakra houses your confidence, self-esteem, and inner power. It connects the Heart Chakra (feelings) and Sacral Chakra (creativity). When your Solar Plexus Chakra is open, it's easy to embrace who you are and have a strong self-image. If the Solar Plexus Chakra is fully activated, you'll glow with a yellow aura.^{[7]

- If you radiate a clear yellow aura, then your Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced and it's easy to believe in yourself.
- If your yellow aura is dim and difficult to see, then you might need to unblock your Solar Plexus Chakra. You may experience recurring doubt, self-consciousness, and anxiousness.
- To protect your energy and cleanse your aura, put one hand on your solar plexus and reach out with the other hand. Say, "What's mine is mine. And anything doesn't belong to me, I return to its source cleansed and purified.”
- Heart and Sacral Chakras that are opened up can add a green or an orange shade to a yellow aura.

Yellow Auras Mixed with Other Colors

1
Yellow-orange auras are perfectionists who believe in a higher calling. Yellow-orange auras possess the same optimism of a true yellow aura, but they're a lot more intense and ambitious—they won't stop until they've finished a task or a project that's been eating away at them, and then they'll set their sights on another big idea. Their drive allows them to follow through with all their visions.^{[11]

- Orange auric energy comes from the Sacral Chakra (creativity), which is right below the Solar Plexus chakra and near your naval.
- To slow down and accept that not everything has to be done in one day, yellow-orange auras can have compassion for themselves and make time to have fun.
2
Yellow-green auras are individualists who seek inner truth. Just like true yellow auras, yellow-green auras are highly intelligent and curious. However, yellow-green auras are less likely to stick with a crowd and would rather look within themselves. They prefer to be self-employed and set all their own rules. If they can remain disciplined and remain focused on their heart's desire, they can manifest abundance so they never need to compromise.^{[12]

- Green auric energy comes from the Heart Chakra (love and inner peace), which is right above the Solar Plexus and near the center of your chest.
- To increase self-discipline, set small and actionable goals. Slowing down and remaining realistic can help balance out the dreaminess of green auric energy.
