   Royal or “true blue” auras are highly sensitive and intuitive. People with true blue auras are well-tuned to the world and to others, and may even have clairvoyant abilities.

   Dark blue or blue-indigo auras signify deep intuition and inner knowing. The dark or indigo shade comes from a strong Third Eye chakra (located in the forehead), which governs your spiritual health and subconscious mind. Those with this aura are wise, authoritative, and considerate of others’ feelings. They remain cool and collected, even during chaotic moments.

   Those with turquoise or blue-green auras are compassionate and helpful. The green tint comes from a strong Heart Chakra, which is linked to healing, emotions, and love. People with a turquoise aura are resilient and view setbacks as valuable learning experiences. A turquoise aura person needs to be careful not to let their empathy for others spiral into negative emotions.

Blue Auras and the Throat Chakra

Download Article

1. 
   Blue auras come from the Throat Chakra, a pool of energy in your throat. The Throat Chakra governs your ability to communicate, listen, and express yourself openly and authentically. It acts as a bridge between the Heart Chakra (emotions) and the Third Eye Chakra (inner thoughts). When your Throat Chakra is open, active, and balanced, you’re surrounded with a vibrant blue aura.

   • If your blue aura is bright and clear, your Throat Chakra is balanced and you express yourself easily.
   • If your blue aura is murky or washed out, you need to unblock your Throat Chakra. You may struggle with listening, gossiping, and tuning into yourself.
   • The Heart and Third Eye Chakras can alter the shade of your blue aura to be more green or indigo if they’re particularly strong.

   • Blue aura friends are friends until the end. They’ll always be around to help whenever they’re needed.

  Is a career for a blue aura a CEO or an entrepreneur?

  

  Community Answer

  These are not hard-and-fast rules we're talking about here. However, the theory is that a blue aura might more likely be an entrepreneur. A CEO's role mainly focuses on analytical thinking and strategic decision-making, while an entrepreneur deals with innovating new business ideas and promoting and bringing life to them.
