The Orange Aura Color Personality
The Orange Aura Color Personality relates to the element of AIR, shades of Yellow-Orange, Orange, and Orange-Red, the Sanguine 2 Temperament, the Solar Plexus (Manipura) and Sacral (Svadhisthana) chakras, the season of Spring (pagan) and Fall (esoteric), Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, The Tree of Life: World of Yetzirah (of Formation), the senses of Sight and Taste, the Astral Body, the emotion of Fear, and YAM (part of God's name). It vibrates at 417 Hz.
Orange Anatomical Correspondences
The sacral chakra corresponds with the pelvic area or floor, ovaries, testes, lower belly, hip area, lower back and related vertebrae, pelvis, bladder, large intestine, spleen, and sense of taste. It also supports the digestive system.
Orange Color Meanings & Associations
Orange is associated with the sacral chakra, connection, emotions, and productivity.
- Orange: Creativity, pleasure, connection, adventure, and business
- Muddy to Brownish Orange: Vanity, pridefulness, arrogance, laziness, and free-loading
Orange Color Emotional/Mental State
Creative, productive, warm, thoughtful, enjoyable, up to a challenge, adventuristic, expressive, analytical, scientific, structured, self-controlled, logical, communicative, productive, healing, and the ability to open one's self to feelings.
The Orange Aura Color Personality (Strengths)
Oranges love to communicate, especially about the bizarre and unusual. Their core motive is independence. They are good at anything they put their minds and hearts to. However, that does not mean that they do not need a connection to others. They love and need it but prefer to chart their own paths in life. Above all, they avoid being controlled by anyone or anything. Many people think they have won an issue with an Orange just because they become quiet. They take it for weakness when it's really passive resistance.
Orange recoils from hostility and cruel words and will only explode when they can't take it anymore. When Orange begins to feel stuck, Orange moves on. Running away is often the only option for Orange. Oranges are good listeners, primarily guided by their feelings and keen intuition. They are excellent hosts and hostesses and surround themselves with a tidy environment, high-quality foods, art, and music. In their relationships, Oranges need to express themselves in physically tangible ways, through gifts or sexually, rather than words, because words can hurt the Orange deeply.
Heaven help the person who makes the Orange feel unappreciated or as though they are stagnating! If scolded or criticized too often, the Orange will find more positive stimulation elsewhere. Following their passions is synonymous with freedom.

Challenges for Oranges (Weaknesses)
Orange disdains taking orders from anyone and considers it an insult to their intelligence. Ideas and suggestions are fine, but demands and ultimatums are not acceptable! It may suit Orange to be self-employed. Self-esteem is tied directly to Orange's relationships. Orange doesn't like conflict, even though it can spar with the best of them. However, Orange tends to commit to the wrong people, often leading to self-doubt, escapism, and staying in destructive relationships for far too long.
Possible Health Issues for Oranges
Physical health issues might include problems with ovaries, and testicles, impotence, urinary problems (irritable bladder, incontinence, Interstitial Cystitis, UTIs), lower back or chronic back pain, pelvic or vaginal pain, PMS, lymph gland problems, bone problems (especially in legs, ankles, and feet), STDs, gas and bloating, frigidity, impotence, fertility or pregnancy issues, food sensitivity, and allergies (including Histamine Intolerance).
Emotional health issues might involve eating disorders, issues surrounding personal power, chronic guilt, a "cold shoulder" attitude, sexuality issues (sexual resistance or repression, frigidity, nymphomania, fetishism, promiscuity, sex without love), all manner of addictions, creative blocks, and being a compulsive pleasure seeker (or to the other extreme, the denial of pleasure).

Raising Sacral Orange & Sanguine Temperament Energy Levels
A low Aura Energy Self-Test score in Orange often means problems concerning sex or intimacy. Negative or sexual experiences (sex without love, rape, sexual abuse) also apply to abused males. These memories need to be released. If you're an Orange personality, it may help to write letters voicing your feelings to those who have hurt you or someone you've lost trust in, even if you have no intention of sending them. Try being more open and affectionate with those you do trust. Perhaps a passionate evening with your significant other may be just what you need.
Any trauma (surgery, miscarriage, abortion, menopause, injuries, sexual abuse) also sets up housekeeping in this chakra. A trip to the doctor for a physical may be in store.
It may be an excellent time to organize, plan, and wrap up loose ends. Are you isolating? When did you last get together with a friend to enjoy a friendly conversation? Accept the hugs and love that others offer. Don't feel like talking? Do something that gives you great pleasure or happiness.
Organize a sacred space just for you within your home. Get back to self-expression through creativity.

Choosing Food & Herbal Remedies Based on the Sanguine Temperament
Sanguines do well on a very light vegetarian diet (meaning some meats, eggs, and fish). Not eating enough vegetables and fruits and overeating meat will bother the Sanguine temperament.
Sanguines have a primarily HOT/WET constitution. If your test scores are high in Part 2 (Orange), you will choose COLD/DRY nutrients to create balance and restore health and wellness. If low, you would include more HOT/WET nutrients to bring your energy back into balance.
HOT Choices: Choose from onions, garlic, ginger, chicken, horseradish, walnuts, duck, lamb, garbanzo beans, lentils, lemon, apple, olives, aged cheeses, walnuts, peppers, cayenne, chives, astragalus root, chai, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and any foods or nutrients that stimulate the metabolism or make one sweat. Foods served hot or roasted are also considered "heating" foods and tend to increase warmth.
DRY Choices: Dry food choices are also considered "Light". Choose from rice cakes, popcorn, corn, most beans (such as garbanzo), sunflower seeds, pomegranates, asparagus, dried fruits, aged cheeses, any foods or nutrients that are physically dry, such as bread or crackers, or that aid in eliminating excess body fluid through sweating or urinating.
HOT or DRY Herb Choices: Astragalus (HOT/DRY), holy basil (HOT/DRY), rosemary (HOT/DRY), turmeric (HOT/DRY), motherwort (Neutral/DRY), valerian (WARM), ginger (WARM), cannabis (WARM/DRY), wild yam (WARM/DRY), calendula (WARM/DRY), hyssop (WARM/DRY), club moss (WARM/DRY), golden seal (HOT/DRY), nettles (HOT/DRY), echinacea (HOT/DRY), elecampane (HOT/DRY), lavender flowers (HOT/DRY), thyme (HOT/DRY), basil (WARM), hawthorn berry (WARM), safflower (WARM), wild cherry bark (WARM), juniper berry (WARM), watercress (WARM), skullcap (WARM), rue (WARM), dong quai (WARM)
You'll find that many of the same foods considered HOT are also DRY, but not all of them.
Neutral food and herbs choices are raspberries, elderberries, calendula flowers, flaxseed, chaste berries, carrots, parsley, oat straw, parsley, psyllium, motherwort, blackberries, and lemon balm.
COLD Choices: Cold foods are also considered "Cooling". Choose from mint, banana, most tropical fruits, milk and dairy, fresh cheeses, lettuce, melons, cucumber, watermelon, fish, dandelion leaves and root, bee pollen, alfalfa, plantain, beets, wild lettuce, most bitters, and any foods or nutrients that sedate the metabolism and relieve excess heat.
WET (Moist) Choices: Wet and moist foods are also considered "heavy". Choose from beef, eggplant, avocados, raspberries, cherries, watermelon, peaches, dark red and blueberries, oysters, all fat from meat and fish, various types of meat in moderation, vinegar, lemon, coconut, bee pollen, and all rich or oily foods or foods that are emollient.
COLD or WET Herb Choices: red raspberry (COLD), Chinese rhubarb (COLD), lemon peel (COLD), Oregon grape root (COLD), vervain (COLD), self heal (COLD), uva ursi (COLD), aloe vera (COLD), white willow (COLD), milk thistle (COLD), marshmallow root (COOL/MOIST), catnip (COLD/MOIST), comfrey leaf (COLD/MOIST), slippery elm (COLD/MOIST), passionflower (COOL), bladderwrack, kelp, Irish moss (COOL), black cohosh (Cool), peppermint (COOL), elderflowers (COOL), feverfew (COOL)
Some COLD foods can also be considered WET, but not all.
