Introduction
You have selected the colors that you currently find most pleasing and most unpleasing. Read the interpretive texts
for your selections in the following paragraphs. In the case of some colors, you will find an additional question or
suggestion which can help you deal with a subject area in more depth.
Keep in mind that your unconscious plays a major role in the selection of the colors. As it is the case when laying
tarot cards, it is inadvisable to repeat the color test too often because otherwise, the quality of the interpretation
quickly fades. Take in the texts, and let them work on you, even those you may find somewhat uncomfortable or
provocative.
The Color Oracle is a psychological color test developed by the Swiss art instructor, therapist and astrologer
Johannes Schneider. Astrodienst also has on offer his "Color Horoscope"- the delineation of the birth chart in
combination with psychological color interpretation.
Your General Disposition
At the present time your behavior is characterized by your need for the enjoyment of life. The things that entice and
satisfy you and help you get over frustration are sensual enjoyments such as exquisite tidbits, good wine, beautiful
music or (your particular favorite) an erotic experience. At times you act forcefully in order to obtain what you
desire.
Interpretation of the Colors You Find Most Pleasing
Of great importance to you now is...
...optimistic self-encouragement.

Again and again, you consciously adopt a positive inner attitude. This helps you to better stand up under the
hardships of the present. You create goals, projects or ideals for yourself that give you a boost and the hope that your
life will be better and happier. You search for ways and means which allow you to enjoy life without care and to
spend more time devoting yourself to the things that bring you joy. In order to forge ahead in good spirits you now
need...
You can ask yourself:
...vigorous self-assertion.

You now want to pull out all the stops in order to achieve what you have planned. Your chances are good because if
you feel something is important you are able to show initiative, grab the opportunity spontaneously and act with
vigor. You can also display energetic efforts in your personal relationships: if you love or admire someone you are
prepared to undertake quite a bit in order to win or hold on to his affection. You utilize a major portion of your
powers for...
You can ask yourself:
...objective assessment of the situation.

Whatever you perceive people, things or information you analyze it, both critically and with a certain amount of
skepticism, because you want to be certain whether it is beneficial to you or not. You are not easily misled, and in
line with the motto once bitten, twice shy, you keep your distance from everything that could damage your wallet,
your reputation, your wellbeing or your peace of mind. One thing is utterly clear to you: your present situation
requires...
...alert self-protection.

You carefully scrutinize everything that crosses your path, and you don't say yes to it until it has passed your acid
test. You decidedly and resolutely fend off everything that could hinder your personal development, and you keep
your distance from unpleasant people who try to manipulate, define or influence you. The thing you have
consciously planned is...
...relaxing favorite pastime.

When the difficulties of daily life or human interaction become too much, you prefer to retreat to your favorite
pastime, a quiet hobby or into the world of your thoughts, dreams and fantasies. If you try to achieve the necessary
balance to daily routine through a regular practice of meditation, you will find what you have actually been looking
for: inner detachedness and peace. It would also be ideal if you could occasionally spend time in the great outdoors.
You believe a particular help in achieving the inner peace you desire is...
...joyful fulfillment of your desires.

It is very important to you to achieve what you are striving for and to experience the joyful fulfillment of your
wishes. The thing that actually often compels you into action is your deep yearning for unadulterated, lasting
happiness and inner peace. If you seek these things in the realm of material possessions, relationships and
experiences, you will suffer disappointment over and over again.
Interpretation of the Colors You Find Most Unpleasant
At the moment you feel most anxious due to your...
...inhibiting limitations.

Difficult circumstances limit your opportunities for experience and your freedom of action. You feel deprived
because you have to do without some of the things that would make life pleasant. You expect far too much
understanding for your needs from other people, and as a result, you often feel disappointed. You might ask yourself
how much understanding and empathy you extend to others. You would like to be free of your...
Your unconscious advises you to:
...fear of misunderstanding.

You are fairly well convinced of your personal viewpoints, and you are certain that your needs, demands and plans
are justified, but you fear others will show no understanding for them. In reality, you are often faced with
misunderstanding, reserve or resistance because you are stubborn and a know-it-all. But you hardly let yourself be
put off your stride. Other people show very little understanding for your...
Your unconscious advises you to:
...exhaustingly stressful situation.

The difficulties you are presently forced to deal with sometimes cause you distress and tax your energies. Instead of
altering or leaving this situation, you heroically attempt to hold on and to act as if nothing were bothering you. In
this way, you overextend yourself and become the victim of your own ambitious need to prove how strong you are.
Your momentum has faded considerably due to your...
...painful sense of loneliness.

Your need for loving company and tender physical contact is not being satisfied in the measure you would like.
Your hunger for warm-hearted attention drives you to seek contact. Although you hold close association with a few
people, when the interaction is over, you often feel lonely and left to your own devices. It saddens you to find so
little understanding and responsiveness towards your needs and difficulties. Sometimes you feel sorry for yourself
because of your...
...uncomfortable immobility.

There are times at which you feel as if you were chained to people or circumstances which restrict your personal
freedom to act and move. You can get itchy when your affairs move slowly as a result or when you have to wait so
long for the fulfillment of your wishes out of consideration for others. You also feel very uneasy due to your...
...fear of rejection.

You often feel isolated from other people by an invisible wall, and sometimes you get the creeping feeling that even
the people you like don't really love you and possibly even reject you. On the other hand, you enjoy standing out
from the crowd with your willfulness, unusual views and egocentric behavior. Your distinctiveness trip does win
you attention, but not the warm-hearted affection you require.
The Color Oracle
This Color Oracle is a psychological color test developed by the Swiss astrologer and art instructor Johannes
Schneider. During several decades of research and practice, he investigated the effect of color on the psyche. He
first published his findings on these effects under the name "Color-O-Scope" which included 25 small colored
wooden plaques for use in selecting the colors.
The online version available here utilizes the same hues as the original product. The method of color selection is
also identical. Since the representation of the colors is dependent on the color fidelity of the display screen in use,
slight deviations in color may nonetheless occur, and Astrodienst has no control over this.
Until further notice the Color Oracle will be offered to visitors free of charge. You will also find on this website
another horoscope interpretation by the same author which is based on astrology and psychology, the "Color
Horoscope" by Johannes Schneider.
