Chakras are an ancient, concept of humans energy centers in the body. Each of these energy centers hold a different purpose, from a sense of safety to a sense of enlightenment. It can be hard sometimes to figure out what chakra you need to work on and for what reason and how to even work on that chakra in the first place. Which is why I decide to make this blog guide. To learn more about the chakras you can take a look at our other blog posts dedicated to those.
A powerful and rather easy way to understand and process what is needing balance within your energetic body is to turn to your tarot/oracle deck and simply ask. This spread is simple to understand, and a powerful practice to find guidance within your chakra system. Often, we know that something feels out of whack, but there can be that added layer of what - that leaves us feeling unable to find the balance we seek.
Tarot can show us where we are on our lifes journey and what we need to do to get further on that journey. Tarot can show you what emotions, thoughts or actions are affecting your chakras. What the blocks look like in your practical life and how to deal with them.
Begin by shuffling your deck with the intention of reading your chakras in mind. Announce to your guides, source, whomever - that you intend to understand your energetic body through the cards for your highest and greatest good.
Check-in with your Chakras using Tarot
This is a really simple way to identify and deal with any blockages or imbalances.
Simply draw a card for each chakra to get a feel for how balanced they are and to see if there are any obvious blockages. You want to give the cards a really good shuffle whilst thinking about each of your chakras. I would always start from the root and lay the cards out up to the crown chakra.
When you have pulled the cards have a look at any obvious blockages. You also want to get an overall feeling the chakras are balanced and that there is a harmony between the cards. If anything jumps out at you then this is the area you need to work on.

CHAKRAS GUIDE
Card 1 Root Chakra: [Foundation, Safety, Security, Stability, and Grounding.]
This card reveals where you are seeking balance regarding your foundation. Your Root Chakra, when in balance, helps you feel grounded, safe, and secure. This card reveals what areas of your life may be needing a better root system so that you may feel more supported in your physical body. Rebuild systems so that you may feel supported and free. The root chakra also governs your finances, considering when your finances are good you feel more secure. Use this guidance to find grounding.
Card 2 Sacral Chakra: [Emotions, Sexuality/Sensuality, Creativity, Pleasure, and Play.]
This card reveals where your emotions, sexuality, and ability to enjoy sensual pleasure may be out of balance. The Sacral Chakra is the bringer of physical joy in love, and when out of balance you may experience the inability to truly enjoy life. This card will reveal where you need to find more flow and play in your life, and on the flip side, where you may be over-indulging and giving away your energy. Your emotions will always move in waves, as you are human, but the waves can be brought into balance through what this card reveals. Use this chakra to see your emotional traumas as to heal them.
Card 3 Solar Plexus: [Will Power, Control, Confidence]
This card reveals where you need to find balance around your will power, control, and confidence. It can also reveal what is going on in your work life. The Solar Plexus Chakra is the inner fire and containment of inspired action, and when out of balance there may be an inability to move forward or on the flip side a desire to bulldoze through people and places to get what you want. Use this card to help you find guidance around where you have given your inner fire away, or where you have been using it too much, like a wildfire. This card will reveal where you can find confidence and release control to find a state of flow.
Card 4 Heart Chakra: [Relationships, Love/Self-Love, Forgiveness]
This card reveals where you need to find balance around relationships, love, and forgiveness. The heart chakra brings the focus from the self into the collective, and guides you to live from a state of love. Use this card to find guidance around your boundaries, the ability to love and tolerate others, and where your relationships need support.
Card 5 Throat Chakra: [Communication, Authentic Self, Truth]
This card reveals where you are seeking balance around your authentic voice, saying what you truly mean, and standing up for yourself. The throat chakra governs our ability to use our voice to communicate what we need and desire. It also governs our ability to listen and truly hear what others have to say. This card will reveal where you have been hiding your magic, and holding back from expressing your authentic self. While on the flip side it may reveal how you are not truly listening and seeing all sides. This card can also reveal where you need to find a creative practice to express your energy. Remember, we speak to create.
Card 6 Third Eye Chakra: [Intuition, Future Vision, Clarity, Ancestors, Spirit Guides]
This card reveals where you are seeking balance regarding your intuition and looking to gain crystal clear clarity. It’s all about your ability to connect within and feel without. The third eye is the seat of your intuition, and when in balance will guide you on the smoothest course forward. This card will guide you to where you may need balance to create more clarity in your life, it may reveal what has been blocking your cosmic view, and can pull the curtains back on whether you’ve been living too much outside your body. This card may guide you to ground into the 3D to see the 5D or vice versa.
Card 7 Crown Chakra: [Connection to Source, Higher Consciousness, Your Divine Self]
This card reveals where you are needing balance regarding your connection to the higher realms. The crown chakra is all about our divinity, and in that, it helps reveal how our connection to source is going. This card, similar to the third eye, may reveal that you have lost your connection to the higher consciousness or that you have been living too out of your body, and need to ground back into the physical world. Allow this card to reveal where you are seeking a deeper connection with your divinity, ancestors, and spirit guides.
How To Work On a Problem Area
Exploring how we can use tarot to help us get a deeper understand of what is causing the problem.
The first card that you have pulled for each chakra position will represent the main energy of that chakra. Have a look at that card and ask yourself how it relates to the chakra and to you.
Then you can draw 3 more cards (for each of the problem chakras) to get a deeper understanding and more clarification of what is going on.
1. What is causing the blockage?
2. What action do I need to take to bring balance to that chakra?
3. What will the result be?
