Welcome to Season 18 of Everyday Tarot, where we’ll explore how color connects to tarot archetypes, personal energy, and daily magic.

What we explore in this episode:

The colors you wear, the foods you eat, the candles you light, even the tones in your home all carry energetic signatures. When you choose them with awareness, you begin to weave subtle threads of magic through your every day.

Days of the Week Correspondences

A playful way to incorporate color magic is to match your clothing or rituals to the planetary energy of the day:

1. Sunday - Sun - Yellow/Gold - vitality, confidence, warmth

2. Monday - Moon - White/Silver - intuition, rest, reflection

3. Tuesday - Mars - Red - courage, conflict resolution, momentum

4. Wednesday - Mercury - Purple (or Orange) - learning, writing, connection

5. Thursday - Jupiter - Blue - expansion, faith, luck

6. Friday - Venus - Green/Pink - love, pleasure, beauty, magnetism

7. Saturday - Saturn - Black/Charcoal - boundaries, protection, discipline

Simple & Practical Color Magic Applications

Choose a color each day that represents how you want to feel. As you repeat this practice, you’ll begin to notice patterns—what colors you crave when you’re tired, joyful, or creative. That awareness itself becomes part of the magic.

• Get dressed with purpose (scarf, socks, nails, jewelry)

• Candle color for spell/ritual intention

• Color your altar (cloths, flowers, stones)

• Choose foods and teas by hue

• Gentle home changes bedding, throw pillows, mugs

Color in Tarot

Color is one of the tarot’s most expressive languages.

The Rider–Waite–Smith deck, for instance, uses color intentionally: reds for passion and drive, yellows for illumination, blues for truth and reflection. Even small details—like the color of a sky or a cloak—carry layers of meaning.

Lunar Color Magic

Beyond the cards, even the moon teaches us color magic. Each hue it wears carries its own rhythm and message:

• Blood Red - transformation, endings, and powerful release

• Golden Yellow - joy, confidence, vitality

• Burnt Orange - creativity, change, and renewal

• White - clarity, peace, purification

• Blue Moon - rarity, reflection, reset

• Lavender / Purple - intuition, liminality, dreams

• Black / Dark Moon - rest, protection, stillness

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:

From The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams, I pulled the Ten of Wands (Upright).

The Ten of Wands reminds us that even magic can become heavy if we overcommit. Color Magic doesn’t need to be elaborate or exhausting. Let it be a gentle, sensory ritual that supports rather than overwhelms.
