Hello star glazers! @Ernst
Can anyone point me to a reliable source that I can do more research in regard to the relationship between chakras and planets? I have been seeing a lot of different references online and they are not quite the same. For example, some refer the moon rules the crown, but some say it governs the heart chakra. some say the sun governs the solar plexus, but then I also have seen some websites say that the sun rules the third eye chakra.
Thank you ❤️
There is one video about rasi aspects where Ernst explained some details
Cancer and Leo - Third eye
Gemini and Virgo- Throat
Taurus and Libra - Heart
Aries and Scorpio- Solar plexus
Pisces and Saggitarrius- Lumbar
Aquarius and Capricorn- Coccyx
@zurie There is an interesting chapter about this topic in David Frawley's "Astrology of the Seers". Theres also some interesting videos and interviews by Ryan Kurczak talking about this.
The attribution is not really Planet = Chakra, but actually, one Pair of Signs ruled by the same Planet for each Chakra, as @amit listed. In that way, for the example you gave, Moon is in the Third Eye by domicile and in the Heart by exaltation, Sun in the third eye by domicile and in the plexus by exaltation, and so on. Some attribute Sun for Crown Chakra but it could actually be misleading or missing the equilibrium in the system, becaus Crown Chakra is out of space and time and this could not be ruled by any planet.
Its interesting to note that there is a conventional attribution of elements for each Chakra that goes:
6) Light: Third Eye
5) Ether: Throat
4) Air: Heart
3) Fire: Plexus
2) Water: Lumbar
1) Earth: Root
In the first four Chakras, there is one Sign with the corresponding element: 1) Capricorn, 2) Pisces, 3) Aries, 4) Libra. These happen to all be Signs which also have a ruler by Exaltation. Thus i would say these are the "dominant" Signs of the corresponding Chakra. For Throat Chakra i would say its Virgo because its the exaltation of Mercury, and for Third Eye, i would say the dominant sign would depend if its a night/day or masc/female nativity.
I have edited the attached image to teach about this topic, hope you like it and find it useful!
