“Why do I have chronic lower back pain?”

“Why do I always get sore throats before a big presentation?”

“Why can’t I stop overthinking?”

These aren’t just medical randoms. They are “Alarm Bells” from your subtle body.

In the West, we treat the physical body. In Vedic Science, we know that the physical body is just a printout of the Energy Body (Pranamaya Kosha). This energy flows through 7 specific junctions called Chakras (Wheels).

But here is the secret most Yoga teachers won’t tell you: Your Chakras are controlled by the Planets.

Just as you have a Dominant Hand, you have a Dominant Chakra determined by your birth chart. This chakra dictates your superpower—whether you are a natural leader (Solar Plexus), a creative genius (Sacral), or a psychic intuitive (Third Eye).

n this guide, we explore 7 Chakras Astrology, a powerful system that links your planetary positions to your spinal energy centers.

1. The Cosmic Anatomy: How Planets Rule Your Energy Centers

Understanding the link between planets and energy centers is the foundation of 7 Chakras Astrology.

You are a mini-universe. The solar system outside is mirrored inside your spine.

In Vedic Astrology, the planets are not just rocks in space; they are the “Lords” of specific energy centers.

• Saturn governs your foundation (Root).

• Jupiter governs your wisdom (Third Eye/Crown).

• Mars governs your drive (Solar Plexus).

• Venus governs your desires (Sacral/Heart).

• Mercury governs your voice (Throat).

• Sun & Moon govern your consciousness (Heart/Mind).

When a planet is “Exalted” in your chart, that corresponding Chakra spins perfectly. When a planet is “Debilitated” or attacked by Rahu, that Chakra gets blocked, leading to physical disease or emotional chaos.

3. The Calculation: How to Find Your Dominant Chakra (Atmakaraka Secret)

Stop guessing with online quizzes. Your birth chart reveals your biological dominance. To perform a 7 Chakras Astrology calculation, you must first identify your Atmakaraka (Soul Planet).

The “Atmakaraka” Method:

In Jaimini Astrology, the planet with the Highest Degree in your chart (0-30 degrees) is your Atmakaraka (Soul Planet). This planet rules your soul’s purpose and your Dominant Chakra.

Step 1: Look at your Birth Chart (Laghna Kundali).

Step 2: Find the planet with the highest degree (ignoring Rahu/Ketu).

Step 3: Check the list below:

• If Atmakaraka is Saturn: -> Root Chakra is Dominant. (You are a Survivor).

• If Atmakaraka is Venus/Moon: -> Sacral Chakra is Dominant. (You are a Creator).

• If Atmakaraka is Mars/Sun: -> Solar Plexus is Dominant. (You are a Leader).

• If Atmakaraka is Mercury: -> Throat Chakra is Dominant. (You are a Messenger).

• If Atmakaraka is Jupiter: -> Third Eye/Crown is Dominant. (You are a Guide).

Your 7 Chakras Astrology Baseline: The Ascendant Method

While the Atmakaraka (Soul Planet) shows your spiritual purpose, your Ascendant (Lagna) determines your physical battery pack. It tells you which Chakra is your “Default Mode” for processing the world.

Fire Risings (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

• Baseline: Solar Plexus (Manipura).

• The Profile: You process life through Action. You have a “Gut Feeling” that is literal. Your digestion of life is fast. When you are balanced, you are a powerhouse of motivation.

• The Risk: You burn out easily. You are prone to “Adrenal Fatigue” because your Solar Plexus is always spinning on overdrive.

Earth Risings (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

• Baseline: Root Chakra (Muladhara).

• The Profile: You process life through Structure. You need to feel “safe” before you open up. You are the anchor of your family.

• The Risk: You get stuck. If your Root Chakra spins too slowly (Tamassic state), you become rigid, stubborn, and hoard material things out of fear.

Air Risings (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

• Baseline: Heart & Throat (Anahata/Vishuddha).

• The Profile: You process life through Connection. You live in the upper chakras (Ideas/Communication). You are light on your feet and adaptable.

• The Risk: You are “ungrounded.” Because energy pools in the upper chest and throat, you often suffer from anxiety or “Spacey-ness.” You forget to eat or sleep because you are disconnected from the Root.

Water Risings (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

• Baseline: Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana).

• The Profile: You process life through Emotion. Your energy body is fluid. You absorb the vibes of everyone around you (Empath).

• The Risk: You “leak” energy. Because the Sacral chakra is about boundaries, you often have weak energetic borders, letting toxic people drain you.

Timing the Awakening: The Chakra Dasha System in 7 Chakras Astrology

Timing is everything. 7 Chakras Astrology uses the Dasha system to predict when a chakra will awaken.

“Why am I suddenly having throat issues at age 32?” In Vedic Astrology, your chakras don’t stay the same forever. They “wake up” based on your Vimshottari Dasha (Planetary Time Period).

When you enter a specific planet’s Dasha, that planet’s corresponding Chakra becomes the Main Character of your life for that period.

• Sun Dasha (6 Years): Solar Plexus Activation.

  • Experience: You will seek leadership, ego validation, and career growth. Digestion issues or ego clashes are common if blocked.

• Moon Dasha (10 Years): Sacral/Heart Activation.

  • Experience: A period of high emotion, fertility, and creativity. You become softer and more intuitive. Water retention or hormonal shifts occur here.

• Mars Dasha (7 Years): Root/Solar Plexus Activation.

  • Experience: A surge of physical energy. You might start working out, buying land (Root), or fighting battles. Inflammation (Heat) is the sign of blockage here.

• Rahu Dasha (18 Years): The “Wild Card” (Overactive Chakra).

  • Experience: Rahu doesn’t own a chakra; he amplifies the chakra of the sign he is sitting in. If Rahu is in your Throat house, you will spend 18 years obsessed with communication or media.

• Jupiter Dasha (16 Years): Third Eye/Crown Activation.

  • Experience: The “Guru” phase. You gain weight (expansion), seek wisdom, and feel spiritually protected. The physical body matters less; the wisdom body takes over.

• Saturn Dasha (19 Years): Root Chakra Testing.

  • Experience: The “reality check.” Saturn forces you to ground yourself. If your Root is weak (no savings, no discipline), Saturn Dasha will be painful until you fix the foundation.

• Mercury Dasha (17 Years): Throat Chakra Activation.

  • Experience: A time for business, learning, and data. Nervous system issues (anxiety) are the main symptom of blockage here.

• Ketu Dasha (7 Years): Crown Chakra (The Void).

  • Experience: Complete detachment. You might feel “invisible” to the world. This is the highest spiritual period but the hardest for material success.

• Venus Dasha (20 Years): Sacral/Heart Activation.

  • Experience: The “Pleasure” phase. Art, romance, and luxury take focus. Kidney or sugar issues (diabetes) can arise if the Sacral chakra is imbalanced.

4. The Diagnosis: Blockages in 7 Chakras Astrology.

A blocked energy center is easily visible when viewed through the lens of 7 Chakras Astrology. Just as the strongest planet shows your power, the Weakest Planet shows your illness.

Check these “Trouble Spots” in your chart:

1. Debilitated Planets (Neecha): If a planet is debilitated (e.g., Sun in Libra), the corresponding Chakra (Solar Plexus) will be weak. You might struggle with confidence or digestion.

2. The “Rahu” Attack: Wherever Rahu sits, he creates an “illusion” or “over-activity.”

   • Example: Rahu in the Throat House (Gemini/3rd House) might make you talk too much or lie (Overactive Throat Chakra).

3. The “Saturn” Block: Wherever Saturn sits, he creates “restriction.”

   • Example: Saturn in the Heart House (Cancer/4th House) creates a “Stone Heart”—difficulty expressing love or emotional blockage.

The “Serpent Power”: Rahu, Ketu, and Kundalini in 7 Chakras Astrology.

In Yoga, the Kundalini energy lies dormant at the base of the spine (Root Chakra) like a coiled snake. The goal of life is to raise this energy to the Crown.

In your birth chart, Rahu and Ketu represent this Kundalini axis.

• Ketu (The Tail): Represents the chakra you have already mastered in a past life. You are comfortable here.

  • Example: Ketu in 3rd House (Throat) = You were a writer or speaker in a past life. You have natural talent here.

• Rahu (The Head): Represents the chakra you are obsessed with mastering in this life.

  • Example: Rahu in 9th House (Third Eye/Wisdom) = You are hungry for higher knowledge. You will travel far to find a Guru.

The “Kaal Sarp Yoga” Blockage: If all your planets are trapped between Rahu and Ketu, it creates a Kaal Sarp Yoga.

• Chakra Translation: Your Kundalini is “knotted.” The energy cannot flow freely up the spine. You might feel intense bursts of energy followed by total crashes.

• The Fix: Kundalini Yoga (specifically Kriya Yoga) is the only way to safely untie these knots. Regular talk therapy won’t work; you need somatic movement.

Advanced Diagnostics: Retrograde & Combust Chakras

For the advanced reader, look at the state of the planet ruling the chakra.

1. The “Retrograde” Chakra (Spinning Inward) If a planet is Retrograde (Vakra) in your chart, that Chakra spins Internally rather than externally.

• Example: Retrograde Mercury (Throat).

  • You might be quiet in public, but your internal monologue is loud. You write better than you speak. You struggle to voice your needs instantly; you process them later.

2. The “Combust” Chakra (Burnt Out) If a planet is too close to the Sun (Combust/Asta), that Chakra is “invisible” or “overwhelmed.”

• Example: Combust Venus (Heart).

  • You crave love desperately, but you feel unseen in relationships. Your Heart Chakra is overpowered by the Ego (Sun). You need to learn self-love before seeking partner-love.

3. The “Gandanta” Knot (The Drowning Point) If a planet is at the very edge of a Water and Fire sign (e.g., 29° Pisces to 0° Aries), it is in Gandanta.

• Meaning: This is a “Karmic Knot” in the subtle body. It represents a physical or emotional issue that is seemingly “incurable” because it is located in the gap between chakras. Healing requires deep spiritual work, not just physical medicine.

Relationship Method in 7 Chakras Astrology: Do Your Chakras Match?

Why do you feel “electric” sparks with one person and “safe” with another? It is Chakra Synastry. When you overlay your chart with a partner’s, check which planets touch.

• The “Soulmate” Bond (Heart-to-Heart):

  • If your Moon/Venus touches their Moon/Venus. You feel deeply understood.

• The “Karmic” Bond (Root-to-Root):

  • If your Saturn touches their Saturn or Ascendant. This is not necessarily “romantic,” but it is glued together. You build a life, a house, and a business together. It is hard to break up.

• The “Obsessive” Bond (Sacral-to-Sacral):

  • If your Mars touches their Venus. This is pure sexual magnetism. The Sacral chakras are locking. High passion, but often high conflict.

• The “Teacher” Bond (Third Eye-to-Mercury):

  • If your Jupiter touches their Mercury. One person speaks (Mercury), and the other guides (Jupiter). This is great for business or mentorship, but can feel unromantic.

The Warning: If your partner’s Rahu sits on your Moon (Heart/Mind), they will disturb your peace. They will create illusions in your Heart Chakra. It feels exciting at first, but drains you eventually.

5. Healing Protocol: Gemstones, Foods, and Frequencies

Remedies in 7 Chakras Astrology are different because they use planetary gemstones to stimulate the nerve bundles.

Once you know which Chakra is blocked via 7 Chakras Astrology, use these Vedic remedies to spin the wheel again.

Chakra	Color Therapy	Food Remedy	Gemstone (Wear)	Frequency (Hz)
Root	Red	Root Veggies (Potatoes, Beets)	Red Jasper / Garnet	396 Hz
Sacral	Orange	Oranges, Melons, Water	Carnelian	417 Hz
Solar Plexus	Yellow	Grains, Bananas, Spices	Citrine / Yellow Sapphire	528 Hz
Heart	Green	Green Leafy Veggies (Spinach)	Emerald / Rose Quartz	639 Hz
Throat	Blue	Blueberries, Herbal Tea	Turquoise / Aquamarine	741 Hz
Third Eye	Indigo	Grapes, Dark Chocolate	Lapis Lazuli	852 Hz
Crown	Violet/White	Fasting / Sunlight	Amethyst / Diamond	963 Hz

The “Beeja Mantra” Hack:

Each chakra has a “seed sound.” Chanting this sound vibrates the specific location in your spine.

• Root: LAM

• Sacral: VAM

• Solar: RAM

• Heart: YAM

• Throat: HAM

• Third Eye: OM

The 3 Spiritual Knots (Granthis) & How to Untie Them

In advanced Yogic Astrology, there are three major “safety valves” along the spine called Granthis (Knots). These prevent the energy from rising too fast before you are ready. Your chart shows which knot is tightest.

1. Brahma Granthi (The Knot of Fear)

   • Location: Root/Sacral (Base).

   • Planetary Blocker: Saturn & Mars.

   • The Block: “I am not safe.” Attachment to material stability and physical pleasure.

   • The Key: Seva (Service). Breaking the ego’s attachment to “my things” unties this knot.

2. Vishnu Granthi (The Knot of Attachment)

   • Location: Heart/Solar Plexus (Middle).

   • Planetary Blocker: Sun & Venus.

   • The Block: “I need to be loved/important.” Attachment to family, emotional drama, and social status.

   • The Key: Bhakti (Devotion). Surrendering the need for validation unties this.

3. Rudra Granthi (The Knot of Pride)

   • Location: Third Eye (Top).

   • Planetary Blocker: Mercury & Jupiter.

   • The Block: “I know everything.” Attachment to intellect, psychic powers (Siddhis), and being “spiritual.”

   • The Key: Jnana (Silence). Admitting that you know nothing unties the final knot.

6. FAQ: 7 Chakras Astrology

Q: Can I have two dominant chakras?

A: Yes in 7 Chakras Astrology,  If you have two planets with very close degrees (e.g., Sun at 28° and Mars at 27°), you are a “Dual Power” soul. For example, a Solar-Sacral mix creates a “Charismatic Leader.”

Q: Does my zodiac sign determine my chakra?

A: Your Sun Sign gives a general vibe (e.g., Leos lean toward Solar Plexus), but your Ascendant and Atmakaraka are more accurate indicators of your physical energy structure.

Q: How long does it take to unblock a chakra?

A: In Vedic science, a “Mandala” cycle is 40-48 days. If you practice the specific color, food, and mantra therapy for 40 days, the energy blockage usually clears.
