Your aura can change day to day, though certain colors may appear more often than others. And if it turns out your aura is gold, here’s what it means for you, according to experts. Generally speaking, folks with gold auras are people with “a clear understanding and grasp of their soul contract duties in this lifetime,” Firester says, adding they will have also secured a pathway for achieving what they’re meant to achieve in this lifetime. Here’s more on what this aura can mean depending on its shade. “Oftentimes,” she explains, “these soul contract duties are very selfless. The people who have gold auras are advocates—leaders for change and people who will sacrifice their own lives in order to make a difference to the multitudes.” “Usually when I see a golden aura, the brightness of that aura can eclipse any other aura color. It’s something which grows the more the person is connecting with and acting upon their soul contract duties,” Firester adds. Through the heart, we share love and compassion, and through the throat, our truth. The third eye relates to intuition and wisdom, and the crown is about higher spirituality and divinity. When someone’s aura appears as gold, it’s a good sign that their heart, throat, third-eye, and crown chakras are all open and flowing smoothly. (Hence why they’re so rare and associated with spiritual teachers.) “Having this aura color allows someone to deeply connect to anyone who listens to them or has contact with what they’ve produced,” she explains, adding, “They can create a following of people who are captivated by their message, which is usually of a spiritual and humanitarian nature.” “I’ve seen people with this aura color be cast aside, criticized, and made to suffer for the good work they wish to do for others,” she says. “They tend to have a one-track mindset to their mission, so while I will see them having people in their lives who love them and support them, they tend to prioritize their connection with spirit, and the teachings they bring to others over relationships,” she explains. As such, she also notes that it’s important for these folks to have a supportive partner who understands this about them—and doesn’t take it personally. As Firester tells mbg, “Their mindset is very unified, so their career would be their passion, not money or material items. People with gold auras are ‘all in’ with anything they do.” “Those with a golden aura do need lots of spiritual rest and retreat, and a place in which to funnel this strong spiritual energy,” she explains. To that end, she recommends practices like meditating, connecting with loved ones, and spending time in nature, in order to fuel your gold aura’s bright glow.
