Aurascope: The Aura of Your Social Networking Skills
Psychic Karen tells you how, based on the color of your Aura, to use your intuition to build your social network.
I am sure many of you have heard of “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”, have
used LinkedIn, MySpace or Facebook to make connections with people, or
have read “The Tipping Point” in order to understand how social
networks operate. However, there is not a lot of information available
on how you can use your intuitive abilities to meet new people or to
grow your social network. Networking does not come naturally to
everyone, but it an essential skill in today’s world, and you never
know where a chance encounter will lead you.
Take this column as an example: The reason you are reading this column
is because of social networking. I was introduced to the Cincy
Chic editor, Amy, who learned of WhatsMyAura.com from Seth (my son),
who met Amy's fiancee through his friend, Jon. Voila! An opportunity
was born from social networking!
In this week’s Aurascope we have provided advice, based on the color of
your Aura, for using your intuition to build your social network.
RED - You radiate certainty and power, and people tell you all the time
they feel they can trust you. You are trustworthy…except when it comes
to juicy gossip, something you know you need to work on! You are
typically willing to help others achieve material success, but they
need to show they are willing to put skin in the game and work hard to
achieve success. You should trust your instincts more - you know when
someone is not willing to do their fair share, and don’t let your
desire to helping someone that you know does not deserve your time and
energy. When going out to social events enhance your wardrobe with red
accessories – it will make you unforgettable.
ORANGE – You are the ultimate strategizer, and you are incredibly
resourceful in gathering a network of mentally, physically and
emotionally capable people around you. You always complete what you
start; in fact, you challenge others around you to race you to the
finish. Remember that not everyone moves at the same pace, and you risk
getting a reputation as a task-master. People can pick up on your sense
of urgency, and sometimes it is a little unnerving to new people you
need. Add some orange to your wardrobe – a blouse, shirt, scarf – and
it will help you to ease off the gas when meeting someone new.
MAGENTA – You attract artistic, outspoken and eccentric personalities.
Many of your friends try to push society standards to the edge…but most
are all bark and no bite, but it makes for stimulating conversations
just the same. More than anything, your natural networking skills make
you a fun person to be around, as you are always surrounded by an
interesting and entertaining crowd. If you wear shades of magenta on
lips, nails or your underwear (please only wear the magenta underwear
when appropriate!) and somehow others will notice high energy emanating
from you and will be drawn to hear what you have to say.
YELLOW – You feel very comfortable with social networking, and are
always up for a party or event. Your first order of business is
pleasure, so it is more important for you to surround yourself with
people with whom you can experience new things and explore new places
or ideas. Works take a backseat to everything, so try to pursue a
career where can use your natural abilities, intuition and spontaneity.
If you are feeling a bit worn down from your social obligations try
wearing yellow accents or accessories, or buy some yellow flowers for
your bedroom or office – they will give you extra energy help you be
the life of the party.
MENTAL/PHYSICAL TAN – You are very good at building relationships and
that yield tangible results. You are thought of in social circles as
someone of great depth and knowledge, and you are very good at putting
other people together. You can seem dry and aloof to new people given
your aura of authority. Avoid wearing too much black – you need to
color up your wardrobe a bit so that you are less intimidating to new
people. A bit of color will allow you intelligence to shine through.
LOVING/NURTURING TAN – You are the problem solver and are an
intermediary in social networks. You are great at putting out fires,
and can get others to negotiate, mediate and come to a common
understanding. You could be a great asset to your company or community,
and have the makings of a great social politician. Khakis and peach
clothing coupled with soft soled shoes will draw others to you for
help. It is your nature to help others, but use your intuition and
don’t be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are being used.
GREEN – You are one of the best at networking, and you are drawn to
money, power and new opportunities. People sense that you are agile,
swift, organized and efficient. Everyone will want to work with you or
be seen with you, and you are admired for your success and
accomplishments. You have to be very picky about the opportunities you
entertain. You have allowed yourself to be wooed by money when your
intuition told you to back away…don’t make the same mistake twice, and
if you feel a twinge of doubt then move on. Add green to your wardrobe
– it will put people at ease when speaking to you.
BLUE – You are concerned with building relationships within your
extended family, and you have a strong desire to be the person through
whom all family information flows. You always have to be the first to
know, and you are good about sharing information in the right way, and
at the right time and place. You are naturally compassionate and
sensitive, and are a great listener. People also trust your advice, so
feel free to let people know what you are thinking. Wear lighter shades
of blue if you are engaging in social/family events, and darker blue at
business meetings. It will help you to focus and concentrate on the
conversation at hand.
LAVENDER - You do not really bother yourself with networking at an
activity unto itself. You like to let things happen naturally. You like
being around others who share your love of leisure, and who take life
at a nice, easy pace. People are drawn to what they perceive as
self-confidence, and your sense of peace. If you need to get creative,
or tap into your network for inspiration or ideas, wear lavender
clothing. It will unblock you and help you with creative work.
INDIGO – You belong to many different social networks, each built
around a different interest or part of your life. Sometimes you feel
detached or lonely because while you know a lot of people in different
circles, you do not feel very close to them. Your networks are worlds
apart, and it is hard for you to cross pollinate groups, even though
you would like to bring them all together. The best advice – strengthen
ties with a few good friends who like to move through networks as well.
That way you will have a core group and can still explore other things.
You like to stand on the outside and watch others…make sure you dress
the part of the wallflower when you are in observation mode. Spice it
up only when you really want to engage.
VIOLET – You are passionate, idealistic, intuitive and insightful. You
are really about helping the world evolve to a better place. Your
mission is to empower people, and to energize social networks to bring
about social and environmental chance. You will be more effective and
get more out of networking if you pick one cause and stick to it –
advance the mission of something that is important to you instead of
carrying the flag for others. You will get a lot more done, and feel
enriched and satisfied. You will also be surprised by how quickly word
will spread about what you are doing, and by how many people will stand
behind you. Wear purple if you are trying to earn someone’s trust – it
helps you to appear warm and genuine.
CRYSTAL – You can blend in anywhere, make new friends, and create buzz.
By the end of a night of networking everyone has either heard about you
or your idea. You have great wisdom, knowledge and leadership
qualities, and people are eager to grasp onto you or your ideas. People
believe you, and will follow you, without even really knowing you. Your
challenge is figuring out how to best use your social networking
abilities. Wear white when you need to feel strong - it will help you
move through events with a sense of clarity and purpose.
