Everyone spots orbs from time to time — in photos, videos, or even sometimes with the naked eye. And sure, sometimes it's dust, a light artifact, or a bug. But other times — particularly if you see it with your eyes and not from behind a lens — it could contain communication from spirit. So if you've spotted a yellow orb, here's what it could mean.

The more you can define what was going on emotionally at the time you saw the orb (or when the photo was taken), the better chance you have of deciphering the message. The yellow orb might be an omen or affirmation about a specific feeling you had when it appeared.
It's a Warning
Caution tape is yellow because it's eye-catching and hard to miss. And a bright yellow orb could be like spiritual caution tape — it's bringing you a warning. Pay attention to the context surrounding your encounter with the orb — what you were feeling, thinking, and experiencing, and then listen to your intuition. The spirit world could be trying to tell you something important.
It's a Call to Action
Have you been thinking about trying something new or feeling a little stagnant lately? Spotting a yellow energy orb may be a message from spirit telling you it's time to take action.
It's a Sign of a Happy or Well-Adjusted Spirit
Not all spirits wander the Earth wailing mournfully and rattling chains. Some were happy in life, and they're equally happy after death, which is why they're still hanging around. Because they're attached to the joy they felt in their human bodies. So a yellow orb could be a sign of a happy spirit.
It's a Sign There's Someone Watching Over You
Have you been feeling alone or adrift? Sometimes, a yellow orb may be a signal letting you know that you aren't alone and that guidance is available if you want it. These guardian spirits — often called spirit guides — let you know through things like yellow orbs that they are there for you to offer care and guidance if you need it.
It's an Affirmation That You're on the Right Track
If you've recently been wondering whether you're headed in the right direction on your life's path, seeing a yellow orb could be a sign that you are. It's like an attaboy from the other side.
It's a Visual Representation of Your Aura
You may decide that the yellow orb you saw wasn't a warning at all, but just your aura sending a little extra energy out into the universe. This may be especially true if your aura is yellow, since this represents a positive energetic person. A yellow aura reveals a joyful soul.
