Qabalah and the Chakras

[WildWoman71]

I have seen some variation but the below resonates with me...The 10 nodes and chakras:

 

Crown - Crown Chakra

Wisdom - Third Eye

Understanding - Third Eye

Mercy - Throat

Strength- Throat

Beauty - Heart

Victory - Solar Plexus

Splendor - Solar Plexus

'Foundation' - Sacral

Kingdom 'Healing' - Root

 

Air/Swords - communication - throat chakra

Water/Cups - feelings - heart chakra

Fire/Wands - personal power - Solar/Sacral

Earth/Pentacles - material/grounding - Root

 

My personal integration of Majors and Elements:

 

Fire: Emperor, Strength, Wheel, Temperance, Tower, Sun

Earth: Empress, Hierophant, Hermit, Devil, World

Air: Fool, Magician, Lovers, Justice, Star 

Water: High Priestess, Chariot, Hanged Man, Death, Moon, Judgment

I don't practice anything specifically Aryuvedic but I have a healthy respect for the chakras.   I'd love to hear how you incorporate the chakras into your tarot work.  And anything else about them that has been really interesting and exciting for you!  🙂

Because fighting a lot of inflammation today (thanks fibromyalgia, lol)  I'm just going to link the two-part stuff I wrote about chakras and the seven planets last year which is here and here instead of a lot of babble.  

So this for me puts the chakra on the Kircher Tree of Life in the following way:  (working down not up for larks)

(1) Keter:  Sahasrara (The Thousandfold) with no planetary association
(4) Chesed: Ajna (the Third Eye) with Jupiter as planetary association
(6) Tiparet: Manipura (The Lustrous Gem) with Sun as planetary association
(7) Netzach: Anahata (The Unstuck) with Venus as planetary association
(8) Hod: Visuddha (Purification) with Mercury as planetary association 
(9) Yesod: Svadhisthana (The Sweetness) with Moon as planetary association
(10) Malkut: Muladhara (The Root) with Saturn as planetary association

When I read a card one of the messages I typically key into is color - depending on the overall message of the card - I may see the orange robe (as sacral) and the green robe as (heart) - and intuitively feel these chakras are balanced or not - and then go on from there...does that make sense?  Additionally, a card with a person on it but only one foot on the ground - I may feel that the person is not grounded within that message and explore the root chakra

 That is really neat. Colors are not something I key into naturally but now you inspire me to try.  I have two weeks left in a 31 Days of Shadow Work project I want to finish without adding anything new into my morning tarot repertoire but that sounds like the exactly right thing to do next, for all 22 Major Arcana perhaps.
