Astrology and chakras, both systems are used to understand characteristics, life events, personal growth and well being of an individual. Astrology is a study of position and movements of planets in natal chart and the way these placements effect particular events in life. On the other hand chakras are part of alternate healing system originated from Indian traditions. They are considered energy centres in the body, each associated with different aspects of life and health. There are total seven chakra (seven energy points) in the body ranging from root chakra which is located at base of spine to the crown chakra at the top of head.
Correlation between astrology and chakra
Personal insights and traits – Many people use astrology to understand the planetary aspect, inherent tendencies and challenges, and then apply chakra reading to address specific areas of imbalance. For example, if your astrological chart indicates challenges with communication, you might focus on balancing the throat chakra.
Personal development – Both astrology and chakra healing can be used to initiate personal growth and mindfulness. By understanding your astrological chart, you might choose specific chakra meditations or healing practices that align with your astrological influences.
Timing and influence– Astrologers sometimes consider the influence of planetary transits on your chakras. For e.g. at the time of moon cycles (new moon, full moon), its good to work on higher chakras like crown and third eye chakra. During mercury retrograde it is good if we work on our throat chakra in order to solve communication issues and expression.
Association of chakras with different planets
