Western astrology is not completely isolated or alienated from Indian mysticism. In fact, there is a close correlation between the twelve zodiac signs and the seven chakras, which are the main centres of energy in the human body as is believed in Indian philosophy. Gemstones for each sign can also be assigned on this basis.
The base Muladhara, which resides at the base of the spine, is concurrent to active physical life. It is ruled by the Sun, which is the source of all energy, and is hence corresponds to the Western sign of Leo. Leo becomes Simha in Indian astrology, and is also ruled by the Sun. The Ruby is the gemstone of this.
The sacral Swadhishtana resides in the spleen. It is concurrent to emotional as well as sensual and sexual energy. The sacral chakra is ruled by the Moon, which is also the ruling planet of the Western of Cancer. Cancer corresponds to Karka in Indian astrology. The pearl is the gemstone of this chakra.
The solar plexus chakra, known as the Manipura, is located around the navel. This chakra is concurrent with mental energy, and is thus rightfully ruled by the planet Mars. It corresponds to the signs of Aries and Scorpio, both heavily influenced by Mars, and corresponding to Mesha and Vruschika respectively in Indian astrology. The red coral is the gemstone of this chakra.
The heart chakra is, of course, located at the heart, and is called the Anahata. This chakra corresponds with empathy and harmony. It is ruled by Mercury, and corresponds to the signs of both Gemini and Virgo. They become Mithun and Kanya respectively in Indian astrology. The emerald is the gemstone of this chakra.
The throat chakra is located at the larynx, known as Vishuddhi. The throat chakra is concurrent with religious inspiration, and is ruled by Jupiter. It corresponds to the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces – Dhanu and Meena respectively. The yellow sapphire is the gemstone of this chakra.
The third-eye chakra, located at the centre of the forehead, is the Agneya. The third-eye is concurrent with intuition, being ruled by the planet of Venus. The third-eye corresponds to the signs of Taurus and Libra – both heavily influenced by Venus – which become Rishabh and Tula respectively in Indian astrology. The diamond is the gemstone of this chakra.
The crown chakra, which is the highest of spiritual energy centres that needs to be tapped in order to attain spiritual actualization in Indian philosophy, is located at the top of the head, and is known as the Sahasrara. It is ruled by the mighty Saturn, ruler or Capricorn and a powerful influence on Aquarius – Makar and Kumbha respectively. The Sahasrara is, rightfully, concurrent to the spiritually divine. The blue sapphire is the gemstone of this chakra.
