Quick Answer
Seven cards, one for each chakra from root to crown. The Chakra Spread reveals which energy center is flowing, which is blocked, and what each is asking from you right now.
Key Takeaways
- The Chakra spread is a 7-card layout from the Hindu-yogic via modern Western esoteric tradition.
- Use it when you want to know which energy center is calling for attention right now, or as a monthly tune-up reading.
- Companion crystal: Selenite.
- Estimated time: 25 minutes for a thorough reading.
About the Chakra Spread
Layer your cards vertically from the base of your body upward, root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, crown. Each card mirrors the state of that energy center. Watch for which card stops you, that's the chakra asking for your attention. The Major Arcana in any position carries extra weight; pay close attention. Cups in the lower chakras (root, sacral) often signal emotional truth wanting to flow into the body. Swords in the heart or throat often signal a hard truth ready to be spoken. The reading pairs beautifully with our Chakra Test and a chakra-specific crystal practice.
The 7 Positions
Each position in this spread carries a defined meaning. Read your card through that position’s lens.
Root (Muladhara)
Survival, safety, foundation. Are you grounded? Are your basic needs met?
Sacral (Svadhisthana)
Pleasure, creativity, sexuality. Are you in your body? Is your creative life alive?
Solar Plexus (Manipura)
Personal power, will, identity. Are you using your power, or have you given it away?
Heart (Anahata)
Love, connection, compassion. Is your heart open, guarded, or breaking?
Throat (Vishuddha)
Voice, truth, expression. Are you speaking what's true? Are you being heard?
Third Eye (Ajna)
Intuition, insight, vision. Are you trusting your inner knowing?
Crown (Sahasrara)
Connection to the divine, sense of purpose. Do you feel held by something larger?

Selenite for the Chakra
Selenite clears the energy channel from crown to root, it is the stone that helps the seven cards 'breathe' together rather than reading as seven isolated frames.

Frequently Asked
What if one chakra has a 'bad' card?
There are no bad cards. A challenging card in the heart position is simply showing where the heart is currently working, often it's where the most growth is available.
Should I do this with a crystal on each chakra?
It's a beautiful practice, but optional. Even one stone, selenite at the crown, supports the reading.
