Red is the first colour on the colour spectrum, it is the colour of the number 1 and base of life force energy. The importance of the colour red in our lives can not be overstated. We are spiritual beings having a physical life in this body at this moment in time. The two are inseparable. It is vital then that we maintain our health.
Red is symbolic of life and energy, our basic survival, our blood is red. It stimulates the neurons and adrenal gland. It builds our foundations. It is common knowledge that red is both the colour of love and the colour of hate. Colours are the same as everything else in life, they have an opposite. From passion to anger and vitality to aggression. Everyone has heard of the saying "to see red", the reality is this mental state will cause you disharmony and will lead to a state of disease. Once you appreciate this and understand it you will have the power to conquer disease. Love is the opposite vibration, so surround yourself with the love vibration of the colour red, this will lift you and will also lift others that are around you.
The Mars energy indicates action, drive and passion. Red is also the colour of our base chakra, our need for security. If we look at no 14 Temperance in the tarot we can see the angel has red wings. This can be interpreted two ways, either to demand our attention to the love, and life force energy that surrounds us, or to keep our outbursts in check.

he tarot cards associated with No 1 are The Magician, The Wheel of Fortune and The Sun, if The Magician is your soul purpose card then red will also be your personality colour. If you vibrate on the red ray you will always want to see fairness and justice and want to do what is right. Reds are also very deeply connected to their roots and love family life and to hear of the history. As they are the number one they do tend to be a bit selfish and tend to look after themselves. They are successful and are often great leaders. So No 1 is the beginning and 10 is the complete circle and a time to start again, for every new beginning the passion and desires of red are needed. Reds have an amazing sense of their own personal power, a unique quality.
The negative aspects of red are the emotions and anger it can provoke, crystals can help calm these emotions and turn the negative feelings into positive ones. A great crystal for the base chakra is Smoky Quartz (find out more here). There is a jewel to be found in every teardrop...emotions are a normal and necessary part of life. This crystal will bring things into balance and keep you grounded, cleansed and protected.
And lastly red is always seen as the colour of love, it is the international colour for 'stop' because it is the second most visible colour, it captures attention, so if you are looking to capture someone's attention ... wear red!!
