In the Chakra Tarot Spread, each and every position is aligned with a chakra. The spread depicts blockages, influences, and advances to healing the mind, body, and soul. But, before we move on to the tarot card spread for the chakras, let us first get to know a little about chakras.
A Glimpse into Chakras
Chakras have recently become quite well-known among the general population. You have possibly heard the word 'chakras,' but do you know what they are? In Sanskrit, 'chakra' means 'wheel,' and it refers to the points or vortexes of energy in our bodies. The chakras are an ancient and complex energy system that originated in India. Chakras are believed to be spinning wheels or disks of energy that should stay aligned and open. This is because these chakras correspond to nerves and major organs of our body that impact our physical and emotional well-being.
There are seven main chakras in the body that run along the spine. The seven chakras are linked with the seven main planets. These chakras are influenced by the planets they pertain to. Our emotions and bodies are governed by these seven chakras. Each chakra has a corresponding specific area in our bodies and a health focus.

Crown Chakra or Sahasrara: I Know
Situated at the top of your head, the crown chakra represents spirituality and bliss. It is linked to spiritual and cosmic energy. This chakra can influence us to find peace and happiness in any situation in life. This chakra is often seen as the highest point of consciousness. It is the point of communication for the soul with the divine. This chakra is believed to be linked with every other chakra, our brain, and the nervous system. When this chakra is open, it can bring us enlightenment. However, if the chakra is blocked, it can make a person narrow-minded and sceptical.

This chakra helps us get connected with our inner wisdom, intuition, and self-awareness. This chakra assists us in opening our minds to new possibilities. It enables us to make the correct decisions confidently. This chakra is positioned on the forehead. If this chakra is blocked, you will have issues listening to reality or getting in touch with your intuition. But, when the chakra is in alignment, you can easily follow your intuition and see the bigger picture.
The tarot card in this position can illustrate how the Subject views and perceives a situation. The Reader should determine whether the Subject is able to see things with clarity or not. It is also crucial for the Reader to reflect upon what the Subject 'sees' and how that differs from what they 'know' during the tarot reading session.

The throat chakra is the seat of self-expression and communication. This chakra is connected to our ability to find our voice and communicate verbally. Additionally, it also influences a person's ability to communicate efficiently with others. This chakra is located at the throat.

Heart Chakra or Anahata: I Love
The heart chakra rules complicated emotions like compassion, love, and rejection. This also deals with our ability to open our hearts and experience happiness by building healthy relationships. This chakra is positioned at the centre of your chest, a little above your heart. This chakra bridges the gap and integrates the upper and lower chakras.
