Violet, in the energy field, tends to suggest a person who is highly clairvoyant and psychic.

The color violet is often described interchangeably with the color purple when talking about the aura. 

So in this post, we’re going to go over what it means when you have purple or violet in your energy field.

The aura, also called the auric field, is the energy body of your soul. 

It carries information about your emotional state, your baseline soul purpose, your personality and expression, and your overall health and vitality.

All auras consist of all colors of the rainbow.

However, some colors, such as purple or violet, can be more pronounced at certain times in your life, during specific lifetimes, or be more expressed in your energy field than other colors.

When you have purple dominant energy field, as the overall expression, it can mean your personality or life purpose carries the energy of this color.

Purple in the energy field generally signifies a person who is highly intuitive, spiritually aware and regal. It also lends to a person who is very creative.

When you see purple in your aura or in another person's, this can indicate clairvoyance.

Purple also symbolizes royalty, abundance and money, since back in the day, purple was an expensive, rare, highly coveted plant dye for fabrics. 

Purple is also considered rare in the horticultural world.

Given the rarity of purple even in pigments and flowering plants, having purple in the human aura has developed a highly coveted aspect spiritually, too.

All this said, purple in your energy field is a positive thing.
