A Quick Refresher on the Seven Chakras
Your seven chakras are energy centers that each relate to different aspects of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Every chakra has its own qualities, colors, and themes, from the grounding energy of the root chakra to the expansive wisdom of the crown chakra.
Throughout this guide, we’ll explore how the symbolic energy of the planets can deepen your understanding of each chakra and inspire meaningful self-care rituals.
| No. | Chakra | Color | Mantra |
| 7 | Crown | Violet | I Understand |
| 6 | Third Eye | Indigo | I See |
| 5 | Throat | Blue | I Speak |
| 4 | Heart | Green | I Love |
| 3 | Solar Plexus | Yellow | I Do |
| 2 | Sacral | Orange | I Feel |
| 1 | Root | Red | I Am |
How Chakras and Astrology Connect
The planets act as a bridge between the chakra system and astrology. Every zodiac sign is traditionally ruled by one or more planets, and those same planetary qualities often mirror the themes of specific chakras.
Rather than thinking of these as rigid rules, it can be helpful to view them as symbolic relationships that offer another lens through which to understand yourself and support your personal growth.

Great info, thank you for sharing! I’m curious if you have a description for why Jupiter is a good pairing with the 3rd Eye. You have it listed in the table and chart, but your description only details Saturn and Neptune.
Thanks so much for reading and your insightful comment! Traditionally, Jupiter and the 3rd eye aren’t directly linked, but modern interpretations acknowledge their similar energies: Jupiter resonates with growth. learning, and higher knowledge (often called the ‘teacher planet’). While Jupiter offers lessons, your third eye helps you integrate them into wisdom. 💜
