Aura is celebrated in the United States, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and Germany on December 12.
Derived from the Latin *aura* and Greek *aura*, this name signifies the breeze, wind, or air in motion. Its Indo-European root, *wer-*, meaning to blow or flow, underpins its elemental essence. Historically, it is tied to Aura, the Greco-Roman goddess of light breezes, and the Aurae, nymphs who were the daughters of the Anemoi, the gods of the four cardinal winds.
In modern spiritualism, emerging around 1870, the meaning evolved to denote a subtle emanation surrounding living beings. This duality connects the tangible force of nature with the invisible energy of the soul.
Named Aura, one embodies the ethereal and the tangible. The archetypal figure is the free spirit, driven by an ideal of harmony between self and environment. The dominant trait is permeability; as the concept suggests, they "Permeates everything, connecting our inner nature to the outer world." This sensitivity allows them to navigate life with fluid grace, absorbing the emotions of others while maintaining their own unique vibration.
