In this episode, we talk about the power of orange—the color of creativity, change, sensuality, and the spark that brings new things into being. In tarot, orange is a natural fit for cards that speak to motion, creativity, risk, and the tension between transformation and control.
What we explore in this episode:
How orange connects to the sacral chakra, creativity, and sensual energy
The fiery, transformative side of orange in tarot archetypes
Where orange can support ambition, risk-taking, and disciplined follow-through
Understanding Orange in Color MagicOrange lives between red and yellow on the visible spectrum. In traditional color theory, it is a secondary color, created by mixing red and yellow paints. In light-based models, it is a tertiary color that emerges between the primary beams of red and green.
Orange carries both the heat of red and the optimism of yellow. It is the moment when the fire is high, the project is underway, and you are asked to decide how you will use that power.
Because of this connection to ripeness, warmth, and seasonal change, Orange often carries associations with:
Harvest and autumn
Joy, amusement, and play
Extroversion and unconventional expression
Fire, energy, and activity
Sensuality, taste, and aroma
In color magic, orange is often connected to the sacral chakra, the seat of:
Sexual energy and sensuality
Creativity and artistic expression
The womb and all that is waiting to be created
Flow, movement, and emotional flux
Transformation through pleasure and change
From a witchcraft and spell-craft lens, orange can be worked with for:
Strength and vitality
Attracting opportunities and success
Encouragement, confidence, and clearing the mind
Career goals, selling, and legal or justice-oriented matters
Action, ambition, and general success magic
Tarot, Symbolism, and the Power of Orange
Orange often shows up in tarot where movement, drive, creativity, or intense desire is at play. It marks places in the deck where you are being invited to act, to transform, or to engage with your own power in bolder ways.
Page of Wands - Orange emphasizes inspiration, the urge to try something new, and the first brave steps into creative action.
Four of Pentacles - Here, orange shows up as the shadow of fire—greed, clinging, and the fear of loss.
The Chariot - Orange here amplifies drive, ambition, and the will to move.
Five of Swords (Destruction) - In the Five of Swords, orange energy highlights destruction, sharp words, and the kind of mental or relational “fire” that can easily get out of hand.
Daughter of Swords (Curious) - The Daughter of Swords asks: What makes you feel awake and mentally engaged? Orange here is the creative, experimental side of intellect.
Seven of Spirals (Effort) - Orange in this card connects the “spark” of wanting change with the grounded effort required to cultivate it over time.
💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle, I pulled Voices (Upright).
Voices is a card of encouragement and inner knowing. It reminds you that spirit speaks in many languages - wind, plants, animals, repeating symbols, songs that get stuck in your head at exactly the right moment. The message is not "try harder"; it is "listen differently."
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where have I recently noticed a sign, symbol, or pattern that felt meaningful, even if I brushed it off?
How can I make more space in my day to listen?
What question would I like to ask Spirit, my ancestors, or the land right now?
