BLACK - All About
BLACK contains all colours. BLACK is the colour of extremes - all or nothing.
BLACK is related to the Element of Earth and resonates with Sunday.
BLACK is powerful and authoritative and evokes strong emotions. The colour BLACK is associated with sophistication and intelligence.
BLACK symbolizes the unconscious, the unknown, hidden things, mystery, danger, death, mourning, rejection, hate and malice. BLACK can be seen as a defensive and fearful vibration. BLACK can resonate with negativity and ignorance and can also signify a lack of love and support.
BLACK resonates with protection, banishing, binding, breaking free from bad habits and addictions. BLACK also relates to deep meditation as it opens up deep unconscious levels. It relates to seriousness, darkness, grounding, survival, independence, mystic allure, assertiveness, daring, alluring, renunciation, relinquishment, absorption, fascination, secrecy, primordial nothingness, depression, death, mourning, secrecy, occultism, revolting against trivialities, provocation, the underground and underworld, hidden things.
Positively, the colour BLACK represents potential and possibilities. BLACK can be seen as a ‘blank slate’ or ‘clean slate’.
BLACK invites us to delve deeply into the unconscious in order to gain a better, clearer understanding of ourselves.
BLACK can also imply hidden spirituality and Divine qualities. BLACK is mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility.
BLACK gives the illusion of weight, and people often think that a BLACK box weighs more than a WHITE one.
It is considered to represent unresolved, thwarted ambitions that have resulted in profound forgetfulness, as in cases where people lose sight of their purpose in life.
A person with an aversion to BLACK may have a fear of the unknown, and/or the abuse of power. They may desire to be free from all kinds of dependency, blockages and hindrances and may wish to throw off their shackles.
BLACK AROUND THE WORLD and in HISTORY
- The Native American Indians believed that BLACK was good because it was the colour of soil, which gives life.

- In England, taxi cabs are traditionally BLACK.
- A BLACK cat crossing one’s path is considered bad luck in many cultures. In England though, seeing a BLACK cat is good luck.
- In the Western world, BLACK is the colour of mourning. This tradition dates back to the Roman Empire where mourners wore a ‘Toga pulla’ made of BLACK wool during periods of mourning.
- In Chinese culture, colours correspond with the five elements, the four seasons and the directions. BLACK is associated with water, Winter and North. In China,
BLACK is a traditional clothing colour for boys.

COLOUR DREAMING - What the Colours in Dreams Mean
BLACK in the TAROT
BLACK is considered to represent unresolved, thwarted ambitions that have resulted in profound forgetfulness, as in cases when people lose sight of their purpose in life.
Although BLACK has been given bad publicity throughout the ages, deep velvety BLACK can actually bring about an intense sense of healing that cannot be penetrated by the other colours and it is for this reason that many people in mourning subconsciously choose to wear it.
DEATH (13) represents BLACK’s apocalyptic nature.
JUDGEMENT (20) calls into play the deep inner healing that is necessary to transform our being.
The MOON (18) disables our ability to clearly remember all that has been and all that ever will be so that we can evolve ourselves without outside intervention.
