What Is an Aura?

Auras are the energy fields that surround all living entities, including animals and plants. They are composed of basic life energy and are accented by color frequencies that reflect what their owner is experiencing. A person’s aura can change colors during different phases of their life, but they usually hold a consistent color that is modified by changing circumstances.

Where Aura Colors Come From

Metaphysicians believe that an aura’s color is caused by vibrations. Certain vibrational frequencies emit consistent colors — so just as different people and their individual energies are diverse, so too are the colors of their auras.

For example, some people are active and physical, some are analytical and logical, and others are emotional and heart-centered, to name just a few examples. These qualities, and their intensities, will make up the main colors of a person’s aura.

How To Perceive Auras

Psychics perceive auras in a variety of different ways. Clairvoyants “see” aura colors visually, clairaudients “hear” the auric colors in people’s voices, clairsentients can “feel” the auric colors of the people they meet, and claircognizant psychics simply “know” about the auras of those they read for. Some psychics even mix these senses.

Red Auras: The Color of the Root Chakra

The first chakra, also known as the Root Chakra, is located at the base of the spine. It is sometimes referred to as the “tribal chakra” because it expresses the energy of belonging, whether it is transmitted by family, nationality, religion, or ideology. It is the chakra of material survival, and it is connected to a person’s ability to establish themselves in the physical world.

If someone’s Root Chakra is weak, they may find that they lack a sense of place and belonging. Fending for themselves can be difficult, and their basic physical vitality may be low.

When a person’s Root Chakra is strong, they’ll feel grounded, stable, supported, and energetic. This is largely because they can do what they need to feed, clothe, and care for themselves. The aura color of red is associated with the first chakra for those reasons.

Red Aura Personality Traits

People with red auras are “rooted” to the earth and have a lot of physical vitality. Professionally, they may be firefighters, emergency response workers, dancers, military personnel, or law enforcement officers. They usually enjoy any or all jobs that involve active work and the use of the physical body.

Reds enjoy the challenge of dangerous situations because they know that they can handle it. After sitting for a while, they will go looking for some action and might be bored and frustrated if they cannot find something risky and exciting to do!

The Positive Traits of Red Auras

People with red auras are energetic, brave, and disciplined. They have very definite boundaries and know exactly what they want. They accomplish things in record time thanks to their physical and practical focus. They have an enlivening and motivating effect on other people, making them good leaders.

Many of them also love to work alone, feeling that they do not want or need outside direction.

What Red Auras Need To Work On

Reds need to remember that not everyone has the same abundant energy and sense of drive that they do. They need to listen sensitively to other people’s thoughts and feelings. Likewise, people with red auras need to work on curbing their appetite for action and attention so that they can lead more balanced lives and keep from burning themselves out.

Four Subtypes of Red Auras

Of course, not all people with red auras are the same. Even among reds, there is a lot of variation in personality that can affect how the color presents itself. As a result, there are many distinct shades of red aura that each say something different about the person who carries it.

Rose Red

These are the gentler reds. They mix the sympathetic traits of a pink aura into their sense of emotional expression. Like the other reds, they do enjoy a bit of action. However, they are more attentive to the feelings of other people than most of their fellows tend to be.

Violet Red

This type of red aura mixes a bit of violet energy into their auras. Violet brings spiritual infusion down through the upper chakras. As a result, people with violet-red auras may be more spiritually evolved than the other shades of red, or they might find it easier to reach such an enlightened state.

Maroon/Wine Red

These reds express their fire in a smoldering but reserved way. Those with a maroon or wine-adjacent hue tend to be very deep, and they experience most things in a more complex manner than other shades of red might.

Tomato Red

People with a tomato red aura blend the creative and enlivening color orange (associated with the second chakra) into their personalities. As a result, this shade of red often indicates that a person has artistic talent and is extremely free-thinking.

The Red Aura in Love

People with red auras need partners who can keep up with them. They love sports and games, sexual marathons, and other physically challenging activities. Reds hate to overanalyze and are not particularly subtle or nuanced. The key ingredient that will attract a red to someone is self-esteem; they want a partner who values themselves.

Red auras blend most easily with orange and yellow auras. Yellows can add lightness, humor, and objectivity to red’s inherent intensity. Meanwhile, oranges will match red’s strong and extroverted reactions to things.

Overall, those with red auras tend to be very loyal, dedicated partners, and they always make it clear where they stand when it comes to love!
