The Chakras in the Matriz del Destino: Meaning and Positions
Arcania Team 3 min read The Matriz del Destino doesn’t just work with numerology and the 22 major arcana of the tarot: it also integrates the tradition of the seven chakras, assigning an arcana to each one to describe your physical, emotional, and mental energy at different levels.
What the chakras are in this system
The seven chakras — root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown — are, in the yogic tradition, energy centres distributed along the body, each associated with a different area of human experience: survival and grounding (root), creativity and pleasure (sacral), personal will (solar plexus), love and connection (heart), expression (throat), intuition (third eye), and spiritual awareness (crown). In the Matriz del Destino, each of these seven chakras also receives three of its own arcana — one physical, one energetic, one emotional — derived mathematically from your date of birth.
How they’re calculated
The arcana for your chakras are derived from a sequence of points already calculated in your octagram — your central points and some of their derivatives — distributed across the seven positions in a specific order. The result is a breakdown of twenty-one arcana in total (three for each chakra), which you can consult in full in your personalised result.
How to interpret your own breakdown
The most useful way to read your chakras isn’t to analyse each arcana in isolation, but to observe the set as a whole: are there chakras where the three arcana — physical, energetic, and emotional — are very closely aligned with each other? That usually indicates a zone of coherence and strength. Are there chakras where the three arcana are very different or even contradictory? That can point to an area of inner tension worth observing more closely, whether in your body, your energy, or your emotions.
Why this matters beyond numerology
Combining chakras and numerology isn’t just an esoteric curiosity: it gives you a concrete language to name patterns you may have already sensed but didn’t know how to describe. If you notice that your heart chakra repeats the same arcana as your Point E, for example, that’s a sign that your relational energy and your core identity are deeply aligned — something worth recognising and consciously cultivating.
