The Chakras in the Matriz del Destino: Meaning and Positions

Beyond your personality, your purpose, and your karmic tail, the Matriz del Destino includes a layer that tends to surprise people calculating their octagram for the first time: the breakdown of your seven chakras, each translated into specific arcana based on your date of birth.

What the chakras are in the matrix

In the yogic tradition, the chakras are seven energy centres distributed along the body, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each governs a different aspect of human experience: survival and grounding, creativity, personal will, love, expression, intuition, and spiritual awareness. The Matriz del Destino doesn’t just name them: it assigns each chakra three of its own arcana — one physical, one energetic, one emotional — derived mathematically from your date of birth, using the same logic of addition and reduction as the rest of the system.

How your chakras are calculated

The twenty-one arcana across your chakras — three for each of the seven — are derived from a sequence of points that are already part of your octagram, combined in a specific order with each other and with your ancestral square. There’s no need to calculate this by hand: our Matriz del Destino calculator delivers the complete breakdown of your seven chakras alongside the rest of your result.

The 7 chakras and their positions

Each chakra receives three arcana that are best read together, not separately: one describes your physical plane, another your energy, and another your emotional world in that same area.

Root chakra

Governs survival, grounding, and the sense of basic security. The arcana in your root chakra describe how stable you feel on the material plane and how much you trust that your most basic needs will be met.

Sacral chakra

Associated with creativity, pleasure, and sexuality. This is where you read your capacity to enjoy, to create, and to connect from desire, without guilt or repression.

Solar plexus

Linked to personal will, confidence, and the capacity for action. The arcana in this zone speak to your self-esteem and how capable you feel of standing behind your own decisions.

Heart

Governs love and connection, both with yourself and with others. It’s one of the zones most often compared with Point E: if they share an arcana, it usually indicates an identity and an emotional life that are closely aligned.

Throat

Associated with expression and communication. It describes how freely you feel you can say what you think and feel, and what blocks, if any, show up when you try.

Third eye

Linked to intuition and perception beyond the obvious. The arcana in this position speak to your ability to trust signals you can’t always explain rationally.

Crown

Governs spiritual awareness and the sense of connection to something bigger than yourself. It’s usually read alongside your social, general, and planetary purposes.

How to read your chakras in your result

The most useful way to interpret your chakras isn’t to analyse each of the twenty-one arcana separately, but to observe the overall pattern. Pay attention to the chakras where your three arcana — physical, energetic, and emotional — align with each other: these tend to be zones of coherence and strength. And pay equal attention to the chakras where the three arcana are very different from each other, because that’s usually where there’s an inner tension worth observing, whether in the body, the energy, or the emotions. Comparing your chakras with your Point E and your wellbeing line usually gives an even fuller reading.
