Choosing Colors"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

When we crochet the Scorpio mandala, colors lead us into depth. Some are dark and dense, like the sea before a storm. Others are fiery and alive, like the wings of a Phoenix. Others still are translucent and light, like the first ray of sun after a long dark night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no random shades in the Scorpio palette. Each color is a stage of transformation: from depth to passion, from passion to intuition, from intuition to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve grouped them by meaning, but of course, you can choose according to your own taste \u2014 take more or fewer shades, swap them around, add your own. Transformation begins where we allow ourselves to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Group 1. Depth and Mystery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The darkest, densest, almost impenetrable colors. What is hidden beneath the surface, what we don’t show the world. Our treasure lies deep within, and it’s important for us to find it. These colors help us go inward, to meet our true selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black<\/strong> \u2014 #1A1A1A
Dark Purple<\/strong> \u2014 #2A1A2A
Night Blue<\/strong> \u2014 #1A2A3A
Almost Black<\/strong> \u2014 #1A1A1E<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Group 2. Passion and Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rich, warm, vibrant colors. Life in all its intensity. This is where Scorpio’s fire lives. Not bright and open, like Leo’s, but deep and internal, warming from within. Colors that give strength and remind us that we are capable of so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burgundy<\/strong> \u2014 #6A1A2A
Wine<\/strong> \u2014 #4A1A2A
Dark Red<\/strong> \u2014 #5A1A1A
Purple<\/strong> \u2014 #4A1A3A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Group 3. Transformation and Rebirth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shades that rise from the ashes. The colors of the Phoenix. The crisis is over, the trial has been passed, we have become stronger. Transformation doesn’t just bring something new \u2014 it is a rebirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiery Red<\/strong> \u2014 #8A2A2A
Warm Terracotta<\/strong> \u2014 #7A3A2A
Golden Brown<\/strong> \u2014 #6A3A1A
Ash<\/strong> \u2014 #5A4A3A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Group 4. Intuition and Magic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Purple, violet, mystical tones. From the deepest to the lightest. These colors are about the inner voice, about premonition, about what we know without words. Scorpio is a sign that feels more than it sees. These shades help us trust ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Purple<\/strong> \u2014 #3A1A4A
Purple<\/strong> \u2014 #5A2A5A
Light Lilac<\/strong> \u2014 #8A6A8A
Pale Amethyst<\/strong> \u2014 #A08AA0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Group 5. Water and Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cool, translucent, living shades of water. They appear as a result of transformation, like a gentle ray of light after a storm. It pierced the deepest depths and showed that even from the darkest place there is always a way out to the surface, toward the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Green<\/strong> \u2014 #6A8A7A
Mint<\/strong> \u2014 #6A9A8A
Aquamarine<\/strong> \u2014 #5A8A8A
Gray-Blue<\/strong> \u2014 #6A7A8A
Sky Blue<\/strong> \u2014 #8AAA9A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Unexpected Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And of course, in the Scorpio palette, there is one color that stands out from the overall range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiery Orange<\/strong> \u2014 #D46A2A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright, vivid, warm. Like the Firebird, like a spark that reignites a seemingly extinguished fire. This color is a bridge to the next sign \u2014 to Sagittarius. After transformation comes the time for moving forward and seeking new horizons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This color is a reminder that even the deepest transformation is not the end \u2014 it’s the beginning of a new path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How to Build Your Own Palette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re finding it hard to choose, ask yourself a few questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Which color feels like “yours” right now \u2014 the one that reflects your inner state?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do you want to go deeper into the depths or step out into the light? This will tell you what stage of transformation you’re in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Is there a color you usually avoid \u2014 but somehow it draws you in? Perhaps that’s the shade through which rebirth comes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
