What is an aura?
In many spiritual traditions, an aura is a field of light said to surround a person. Hindu and Buddhist writing describes subtle energy bodies. Theosophists in the late 1800s described colored layers around the body, and the New Age movement later turned those layers into the color system most people know today.
Each color stands for a temperament and a mood. People who give aura readings usually say the colors can shift with your life, but that one tends to stay in the background for years. Science has found no measurable field like this, so treat it as a symbolic way of describing yourself.
How the aura quiz works
Vela, a hooded reader, sits in her study and asks you 8 short questions, one at a time. Each question has 4 answers. Pick the one that sounds most like you, not the one you wish were true. The questions cover how you recharge, how you handle conflict, what you do with a free day and what people come to you for.
When you finish, a soft glow in your aura color rises around Vela. You get:
- your main aura color and what it means;
- its strengths and its challenges;
- a short tip you can use this week;
- a second color that also showed up strongly.
It takes about two minutes. It's free, and you don't need an account.
Aura colors and their meanings
There are 9 colors in this quiz. Here is the short version of each one.
- Red aura: grounded, passionate and quick to act; you lead with courage and speak plainly, though patience can run thin.
- Orange aura: social, playful and adventurous; you pull people together and chase new experiences, and sometimes start more than you finish.
- Yellow aura: curious, upbeat and quick-witted; ideas come to you fast, and you can get lost in overthinking them.
- Green aura: steady, caring and patient; you tend to people and places, but you can give until you're empty.
- Blue aura: calm, honest and clear in how you communicate; people trust you, and you may keep your own feelings to yourself.
- Indigo aura: intuitive, quiet and deep; you notice what others miss, but you may pull away from people when you need them.
- Violet aura: imaginative, original and a little otherworldly; you see what could be, and daily routine can feel dull.
- Pink aura: warm, tender and generous; you make people feel seen, though you may take on feelings that aren't yours.
- White aura: balanced, peaceful and clear-minded; you stay level when others don't, but can hold back what you want.
How to read your second color
Your main color is the one you picked most often. The second color is the next closest. Read it as a supporting tone, a side of you that shows up in certain places, such as at work or with close friends.
If the two colors seem to pull in different directions, such as Red with Indigo, that's common. It often means you act one way in public and feel another way in private. If they match well, such as Green with Pink, they tend to reinforce each other. You can also retake the quiz in a different mood and see which color moves up.
Can your aura color change?
Most aura traditions say yes. A big move, a breakup, a new job or a long stretch of rest can all shift how you feel, and the colors follow. Many people find one color that feels like home and a few that visit.
In a quiz, your answers depend on your mood that day. If your result surprises you, retake it in a week. A result you disagree with is still useful if it makes you ask why.

This quiz reflects how you see yourself. It doesn't photograph or measure a real energy field, and no website quiz can. Treat the result as a prompt for reflection and a bit of fun. It isn't medical, psychological or life advice. For entertainment purposes only.
