Which Chakra Are You?


The human energetic system, according to Indian tradition, runs through the spine, from the perineum to the top of the head, and consists of a series of chakras, or energy centers. These chakras, in turn, are associated with different astrological signs. Read on to see what chakra is associated with your Sun sign. 

Aries is associated with the Manipura, or solar chakra. Located right under the ribs and traditionally visualized as being yellow, the solar chakra is the center of self-confidence, power and charisma. If those qualities sound familiar to the charming Ram, it's no surprise!

Sexy Taurus is all about the Swadisthana, or sexual chakra, which has to do with sociability and, of course, sexuality. Colored orange and located just behind the pelvic bone, this chakra helps make the Bull particularly good at the fine art of seduction.

Muladhara, or the root chakra, is Gemini's special spot. Located at the perineum, near the tailbone, the root chakra is red, and is a center for physical energy, control and stability. The Twins, of course, are always seeking stability.

Cancer's chakra is the Muladhara, the root chakra. This red-colored energy center, located at the perineum, near the tailbone, is all about physical energy, control and stability -- all issues sensitive Cancer is deeply concerned with.

Leo is always one sexy sign, with their fiery spirit and go-get-it attitude. So it's no surprise to anyone who's ever loved a Leo that the Swadisthana, or sexual chakra, is the chakra the Lion is associated with. Colored orange and located just behind the pelvic bone, the Swadisthana is the center for sociability and sexuality.

Virgo's chakra is the Manipura, or solar chakra. Located right under the ribs and traditionally visualized as being yellow, the solar chakra is the center of self-confidence, power and charisma -- not too surprising for a grounded, powerful sign like Virgo.

Libra is associated with Anahata, the heart chakra. The center both for the receptivity to and the giving of love, the heart chakra is located at the center of the chest and is thought of as colored green. Balanced Libra is, naturally, deeply concerned with the processes of giving and receiving love.

Visshuda, the throat chakra, is the energy center most strongly associated with Scorpio. Responsible for intuition and contact with other worlds, this deeply mystical spot is colored blue and located at the throat. No wonder passionate Scorpio knows so much, thanks to these intuitive powers.

Sagittarius is all about Ajna, the forehead chakra, which is located, as its name suggests, at the forehead and is deep blue. Ajna, responsible for mental ability, logic, intellectual creativity and memory, helps the Archer with their amazing ability to synthesize information and ideas.

Capricorn's association is with Ajna, the forehead chakra, located at the forehead. A deep blue, color Ajna is the spot where logic, intellectual creativity and memory are centered, and influence Capricorn's strong mental abilities.

Intuitive, other-worldly Aquarius is most closely associated with Visshuda, the throat chakra. Responsible for intuition and contact with other worlds, Visshuda is colored blue and located at the throat.

Loving Pisces is most closely bound to Anahata, the heart chakra, responsible both for receptivity to love and to the giving of love. The Fish's energy center is located at the center of the chest and is colored green.

    Thanks for this post. I did not know the chakras were related to signs of the zodiac. As I read my sign and chakra, I realize this is a reflection that is true to me. Thanks again.

    A cute theory, but I don't think it carries any water (yah, I'm an Aquarian). Everyone has every chakra within them and we vascillate between them all, if we have any worth whatsoever. Many people are completely unaware that chakras, or energy wheels, even exist, which is why many people get stuck in the lower three (and they are easily manipulated from there)...and which is where most of humanity seem to be satisfied in the moaning and wailing, er, I mean, living out their meager lives... They never get above power and trying to dominate others with money... hahahahah what a bunch of dufuses...oops, wait, I was supposed to be coming from my throat chakra!! I was... It's just I find it amusing that this information has been around for countless centuries and people act like it's news. Well, it's not, but YOU ARE!! A noob!! Sorry, I have dropped into power myself momentarily...let me scratch and claw my way back up to love and love you all unconditionally...difficult as it is...and then, I'm off to the crown chakra, where precious few will ever find me...because, my friend, it is very, very lonely at the top... Hope you make it, though... Keep whacking away, you could get through the bramble to find the golden, gleaming castle of light...where the true treasure of life is found...

    I agree w/ what Marie Montaine wrote: "many people get stuck in the lower three (and they are easily manipulated from there)...and which is where most of humanity seem to be satisfied in the moaning and wailing, er, I mean, living out their meager lives..." but what happens when you you've been in your top chakras? As a Capricorn, I'm having trouble coming down, so to speak. Should I have them realigned?
