“The moon, the sun, the planets and the universe are celestial whirling energy centers, or celestial chakras.” – Unknown
In the post, What are the 7 Chakras of the body and How do they Influence your Health?, we discussed the seven energy centers, or chakras, of the body. Now, we are going to go on to discuss an additional three chakras located outside the body, one located between Earth and us, and two between us and the Universe.
The Earth Star Chakra is located between us and the Earth, and its color association is black. It is the grounding energy chakra we mostly feel when we are out in nature connecting to Gaia, Mother Earth. When open, we feel connected and safe on Earth and when blocked, we feel threatened and afraid of the outdoors, paranoid of nature.
The Soul Star Chakra is located directly above us and the Universe, and its color is associated with pink. It is the universal energy chakra we feel when we observe the stars, the Milky Way, or the Aurora Borealis (northern lights). When open, we understand we are part of a larger force, a bigger reality than just being on Earth. When closed, we are unable, or feel uncomfortable acknowledging, or not able to easily grasp the concept of space, and our connection to it.
The Stellar Gateway Chakra is located further away from us and closer to the Universe, and gold is the color association. It is the galactic energy we feel when we can understand the concept of multiple universes, or deeper learnings, like the 12 Cosmic rays, the 7 rays of Crystalline Light, or the 13 codes of Ascension, just to name a few. When open, we easily connect to these theories and practices, but when closed, we have difficulty grasping these concepts.
If we also refer to the post, Astrology: How do the Planets influence your life?, we can review how the planets influence different aspects of your life. When we combine these two concepts we can get an association between planets and chakras.
There are as many differing opinions on this subject, as there are planets and chakras, but for all intents and purposes, we will be referring to my own interpretation of how the planets and chakras can be associated with a very simple comparison of what the planets and chakras each represent.
| Chakra | Represents | Planet | Represents |
| Earth Star | I ground | Saturn | I structure |
| Root | I exist | Sun | I am |
| Sacral | I desire | Moon | I feel |
| Solar Plexus | I do | Mars | I act |
| Heart | I love | Venus | I love |
| Throat | I express | Mercury | I speak |
| Third Eye | I see | Uranus | I reform |
| Crown | I understand | Jupiter | I expand |
| Soul Star | I ascend | Neptune | I dream |
| Stellar Gateway | I transform | Pluto | I transform |
It’s also important to distinct that, while there will be times in life where chakras may become impaired or lower energy due to challenges in life, in order to work and understand each chakra, work must be done in each one of these areas in order to ascend. In other words, you need to have climbed the ladder from the Earth Star chakra, where you start to just become grounded to the earth plane, all the way up to the Stellar Gateway chakra, where you can resonate with galactic energy. These people are the minority, but are increasing in numbers since recorded history. These are the Light Language people, who are able to channel messages from other beings in other realms, or star systems. These messages are translated from these other beings by their higher self, which was formed from the Soul Star chakra.
Earth Star Chakra-Saturn
Once again, using myself as an example, I was born already having my Earth Star chakra open and flowing, as do most people who feel at peace and harmony in nature. They use the healing energy of earth to ground and recharge. But there are people who don’t feel comfortable out in nature, as these people where born to be more in focus with the mortal body and its core desires. There is no right or wrong with this, just the how and why we were brought to earth for this life.
Root Chakra-Sun
I was also born with my Root chakra open and flowing, as I was very aware of myself, and my being, from first memory. As a “larger than life” child, I was a very omnipresent personality, that my mother had to constantly deal with (thank you, mama) and my father came to know better (thank you, dad). People who feel invisible, or insignificant, have a harder time in life, regarding this chakra, and have difficulty understanding themselves in any way, creating blocks for all the upper chakras.
Sacral Chakra-Moon
My Sacral chakra was also open upon birth, as I have always been aware of my feelings, for I feel deeply and passionately. My feelings have been expressed loudly and openly, but not constructively when I was younger. So while this chakra was open upon birth, it became impaired during my formative years, from traumas that occurred, where I came to believe my feelings were wrong. The people who have difficulty feeling, from infant stage, have issues with this chakra upon birth. For other people, the lack of feelings come from deep, dark trauma at a very young age.
Solar Plexus Chakra-Mars
The Solar Plexus chakra is the beginning of what needed work for me, at a young age. The “I act” or “I do” was extremely reactive, since I can remember. It took years to learn how to act consciously and compassionately on a regular basis. The only way I knew how to do this from birth was with animals, whereas with people, I reacted unconsciously and angrily. I had yet to understand why people were brought into my life to trigger me. Now that I have embraced that concept, I am able to act and not react. This is a hard stop for many people still, even in their adult and advanced years. Some were not brought to this world for that purpose, instead they were brought as lessons for others.
Heart Chakra-Venus
This one also was a difficult one for me, for while my Heart chakra was well developed, it was impaired, as I only knew how to fiercely love others conditionally. It wasn’t until I learned to truly love myself, that I learned how to love unconditionally. Let me expand on this, as this one is a human collective condition, that many people suffer from. Upon birth, infants love unconditionally. We are all brought into this world as unconditional beings. It is after being programmed by society, that we learn to “un-love” ourselves. I had to take this program and deconstruct it, and embrace the dark aspects of myself, in order to understand and accept what I thought was the dark aspects of others. Once able to do this for myself, I was able to apply this to others, therefore, continuing to love them as a fellow beings, even while not appreciating the influence they had or have on my life. The ones I do appreciate in my life, I can easily now embrace their dark traits along with their light traits. Many people have extreme difficulty with this, and it was not easy to do for myself. I was lucky to have one particular influence in my life, that severely motivated this growth, and I am eternally grateful to that person.
Throat Chakra-Mercury
That person’s influence created a ripple effect to my higher chakras, which moved me to work on my Throat chakra. Most of my life, I didn’t have problems expressing myself, rather I had issues with how I expressed myself. I was blunt, raw, uncensored, and brutal in how I communicated to myself and with others (this has a lot to do with my astrological placements). I was too intense for most people (and even myself at times) and got called out on it, again and again. Through all that time, I claimed it was “just how I am”. But it didn’t have to be. When my heart chakra got an upgrade, and I learned to love myself, I began to learn how to speak from love and compassion. This is another tough aspect for people, as we are all taught to criticize ourselves, which leads directly to criticizing others. I walk this tightrope every single day because, when we are hurt and angry, its easy to express those feelings by finding fault through other’s actions. What I have to do is remind myself that my hurt and anger, while possibly valid, is still my own to be accountable for. I can express traits about others that I don’t find morally or ethically appealing, in relation to how I have been treated, and still understand why they have developed those traits. Many people struggle with this, as I also do daily, but the key is awareness of why I need to be accountable for my own hurt and anger, and what I can do to continue to heal those wounds.
Third Eye Chakra-Uranus
This chakra was also activated once I learned the art of communication. My Third Eye chakra, while also very present upon birth, became very impaired through many occurrences, creating a sense of doubt in my intuition and spirituality. According to my mother, I was fairly in tune with the “otherworld”, saying quirky things like, “I had a choice of two mothers and I chose you”, or vividly remembering past life traumas, and even possible deaths scenarios. Unfortunately, this was scary for me, and I learned to block it quickly. During my childhood, we were very involved in spiritualism, and certain aspects of these hidden realms became more open for me as time went on. I lost it all again under the title of adult, where my main concern was survival and accomplishments. While I practiced my spirituality somewhat, the constant seriousness of my practice daily didn’t occur until around 2014, when a extremely traumatic event, caused me to plunge back into spirituality and into self-healing. As the progression up the chakra ladder occurred, the more I could rely on my intuition and faith. While there a lot of people who claim to a faith, it is much harder to actually live the creeds of that faith on a daily basis for many, often finding it easier to claim one thing, while doing another. Intuition, or listening to your higher self, can also be difficult for many, as we are not encouraged as a society to do so.
Crown Chakra-Jupiter
This chakra has been a more recent development in my life. The Crown chakra came about when I started to understand my role in the larger picture of things. I realized I had a soul purpose and a destiny to fulfill, and this chakra opening allowed me to utilize my talents for the greater good. It started when I saw my drive to continue contributing to wildlife medicine, running a large teaching wildlife hospital, as not just a means to an end, but a higher calling. The impact I had on those animals, and the people involved with their care, became a larger than life destiny. When my soul contract with that place ended, it gave me the courage and drive to move from the healing of not only animals, but also to the human collective. This expansion of my being has been liberating and important work I find deep satisfaction in. It feels right, and pure, and natural, and free-flowing. This area of fulfillment can be difficult for people to achieve, as only a handful of people on this earth can say they are driven by a higher purpose geared toward the human collective. Even reaching this stage can create a very satisfying existence on this earth.
Soul Star Chakra-Neptune
This area of work is where I am currently. The Soul Star chakra is a work in progress for me, as I continually work hard at ascension. Keeping all the bodily chakras clear, open and flowing is imperative to reach this chakra, which is no longer an energy center within the body, but instead connected with the Universe. This is where I can see myself as part of the picture larger than Earth, and connecting to a universal collective. The part where I understand that all beings and objects are all part of a larger vibrational frequency, and that the ascension of a few can radiate out to the ascension of many. This was very hard for me to grasp at first, and I only started understanding my place in it over the last three years. This concept can be extremely difficult for people to reach, for as humans, we are mostly aware and concerned with our bodily interactions with people and places, finding the universal realm hard to grasp. This was honestly something I couldn’t have resonated with most of my life, but the more I work on it, the more comfortable I am becoming with this.
Stellar Gateway Chakra-Pluto
I have not reached this realm yet, nor do I know if I am meant to in this life. It is still a ambiguous concept to me, and one I am still struggling to comprehend. I follow the teachings of some people who have reached this state and find it interesting, but if I am meant to understand and open this chakra, I must first complete the opening of my Soul Star energy field. I feel this area of the stellar gateway is only for a select few at this time, but may very well become a more common way of existence, if we can find our way closer to understanding how to be a part of the One source consciousness. The people who exist in this plane are called Galactic beings, and can translate Light language messages from other sources to the human collective.
The chakra system, like any connecting energy field, needs to be a continuous and complete circuit, in order to function properly. If there is short circuiting occurring, then problems arise that can cause breakdowns or even devastation. While the top two chakras connecting the body to the Universe are not a mandatory requirement in everyone’s lives, being able to clear the first eight is a goal that can be achievable to anyone who is willing to put in the work. As I stated before, not everyone has been brought to this life to clear every bodily chakra at this point and time, but I do believe as the human collective continues to elevate its own vibrational frequency, through a give and take relationship with the Earth, more and more souls will have a greater desire to do so.
Thank you for reading. xoxo
