Chakras are the body's subtle energy vortices. They have been identified in many ancient cultures. The first chakra is located at the base of the spine. The second chakra is located in the gonads area below the navel. The third chakra is located in the solar plexus above the navel. The fourth chakra is located a little to the right of the heart area. The fifth chakra is located in the throat area. The sixth chakra is located between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of the nose. The seventh chakra is located at the top of the pineal gland and controls the upper region of the brain. All seven chakras are interdependent and develop gradually after years of yoga and meditation practices. Each chakra nourishes a specific endocrine gland, which energizes different body structures.

About the Zodiac Just as we do not use the Tarot cards for divinations here, so we do not use the Zodiac for horoscopes or the like. Stage I of the journey begins with the Sun and the sign Gemini; it ends with The Magician and Sagittarius. One last thing.
