Each mandala constructed from a birth date is not just a geometric pattern — it is a kind of color portrait of the individual. The colors in the mandala are not random: each is associated with a specific digit and reflects qualities that were active at the time of birth. That’s why the color palette of a mandala can reveal a person’s inner potential, dominant personality traits, and areas for development.
Colors are not merely visual signals for the brain — they exert direct psychophysiological influence. This is supported by both empirical observation and scientific research in color psychology. In a mandala, colors become a language that helps us read a person’s initial state, as well as their natural tendencies and inner resources
How to read colors in a mandala?
If a certain color is particularly dominant in the mandala, it points to a strength — a quality that is already well expressed. Conversely, if a color is almost absent, it may signal a growth area — a potential that needs more attention.
