The Chakras

Planets related to the chakras of the subtle body:

Relation of planet to chakra system is based on theory of reflection of macrocosm in microcosm. There are several systems, which laid out internal mapping of zodiac, planets and time. One of the most famous and complicated is a Kalachakra tantra of Vajrayana.

There are other systems in Buddhist and Hindu tantras that are different in details regarding correspondence of chakras, chanels and planetary energies. There are many systems with different number of chakras. Chakras that are located at central channel (location of central channel is different in some systems and it has names like Sushumna, Avaduti and etc.) are of primary interest for sadhana, which makes Moksha as a goal. Number of chakras at central channel according different system could be 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11. The most widely known system in the West is 7–chakra system (thanks to several translations of Arturo Avalon from Kaula–krama tradition). In materials of this course is given correspondence of planet and chakras listed below: two petals of Ajna chakra, – Sun and Moon; Vishudha, – Mercury; Anahata, – Venus; Manipura, – Mars, Svadhistana, – Jupiter, Mooladhara, – Saturn. Sahasrara is considered beyond influence of time, zodiac and planets. Second important point to consider is an exaltation of planet. The exaltation order reflects how the planets function once their energy is integrated in the proper way into our lower nature. Yogic practices direct the prana through the different chakras in different combinations. It makes transmutation process of planetary energy unique for each of this system
