You might’ve never thought of it, but a very powerful mystical relationship exists between Astrology and our Chakras. The attributes of the planets and the Chakras, our bodies' spiritual energy points, are inseparably intertwined. Basically, the Astrological power of the planets rules our Chakras and Chakras reflect the nature of their ruling planets.
We have created the brief summary of how it all ties together with the help of our friend, noted astrologer George Lewis, teacher, sound healer, artist and author, George’s astrological practice is based on the archetypal mythology and ancient techniques, which is reflected in this blog. According to George “Every zodiac sign has a planetary ruler and a select few of them have both a modern ruler and an ancient ruler.”
Understanding relationships between the planets and the Chakras can give us better insight into understand ourselves and offer reasons for many events that have shaped our personalities and lives.
