We often discuss chakras because maintaining healthy chakras is essential to spiritual growth. Chakras are the invisible spinning energy centers within the human body that guide your emotional and spiritual path. These energetic centers belong to your soul and travel with you across lifetimes, meaning your physical body is relatively new compared to your chakra system. From the very beginning you’ve carried these centers, and when one becomes imbalanced it signals that something has shifted you off course. Keeping your chakras balanced helps you remain aligned with your intended path. Astrology, likewise, maps the course of each lifetime. By combining chakra work with astrology, you can better stay on your unique destined path. Right now, several astrological influences are supporting this alignment, and chakra healing during these transits can help you access your full potential and manifest your purpose.
The connection between chakras and astrology….
Many people think chakras and astrology are unrelated. The truth is subtler: they’re different tools that can overlap. Comparing them to a wrench and a ruler helps—each tool has its purpose, and sometimes you use both together. Chakra work and astrology operate similarly. You might do chakra healing alone, consult your astrological chart to make decisions, or combine both during specific transits to achieve a goal. This is the link between chakras and astrology.
Your current life project—“This Lifetime”—requires tools to fulfill its purpose. Two powerful tools are chakra healing and astrology. Let’s look at what the stars are indicating for this phase of your journey and how to use chakra work to support it.
Chakra Healing and the Eclipse Portal
We’ve been focused on eclipses this month. Recent lunar or solar events have likely planted seeds for new beginnings. During eclipse season a cosmic portal opens, bringing waves of information, clarity, and sometimes surprising news. Accessing the eclipse portal is a powerful way to receive guidance that keeps you on your destiny path. This is where chakra healing and astrology work in tandem: all seven chakras act as receptacles of information, holding memories from past lifetimes as well as the blueprint for this one. When these chakras are aligned, you’re open to receiving messages from sources that support your soul’s path. During an eclipse, this flow of information intensifies and can arrive in unexpected, transformative ways.
Certain chakras are especially tuned to receive during eclipse portals. The throat chakra supports authentic communication and reception of messages. The heart chakra allows you to feel and integrate guidance from a place of love. The third eye and crown chakras are the primary gateways: the third eye helps you perceive the destiny before you, while the crown connects you to divine guidance about your place on this path. These experiences are amplified during eclipse season and are best accessed through focused meditation. Here are practical steps to activate your third eye and crown chakras and enter the eclipse portal.
How to do Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra Meditations
Meditation doesn’t require celebrity mentors to work. It’s a personal practice: anything that quiets the mind and allows you to receive—rather than actively control—is valid. For some people meditation is sitting in silence; for others it’s baking, gardening, or tending a project that brings them into a focused, receptive state. The key is finding an activity or position that disconnects you from external clutter and directs attention inward. Those moments of calm and focus often bring fresh insight and inspiration.
Find what quiets you. Your meditation can be as simple as lying quietly or as practical as repetitive, mindful activity. When you identify your personal meditative practice, you can use it to stimulate the third eye and crown chakras and enter the eclipse portal. Eclipse work tends to be more intense than casual meditation, so the following tips will help you prepare and deepen your experience.
1. Find the right colors.
Color supports chakra activation. The crown chakra relates to violet or white, and the third eye to indigo. Surrounding yourself with these hues—through candles, fabrics, jewelry, or decor—helps tune your energy during meditation. Candles provide both color and light that attract the desired vibration. Flowers, scented soaps, a violet blanket, or crystals like sapphire, spirit quartz, clear quartz, and amethyst can enhance the environment and encourage openness.
2. Make it a scentsual experience.
Each chakra responds to the senses, and aromatherapy is especially effective. Combining scent with color deepens the meditation. Lavender, lilac, jasmine, and sage are helpful for third eye and crown work. Use essential oils, incense, or natural herbs—whatever supports a calm, receptive atmosphere without causing distraction.
3. Check your ego.
Eclipse season is primarily about receiving. Leave competitive or controlling impulses outside the portal. Approach your meditation with humility and openness so your crown and third eye chakras can widen to receive clear guidance.
4. Love sweet love.
Approach crown and third eye meditations from a place of love. If you arrive in anger or distress, spend a few minutes releasing those feelings—offer them to your higher power or acknowledge and let them go—then proceed. A receptive heart amplifies the clarity and compassion of the messages you receive.
5. Chakras, activate!
Once your space, senses, and mindset are prepared, settle into a quiet spot with no distractions. You can meditate for five minutes or an hour. Begin by closing your eyes and clearing the mind—often the hardest step. Focusing on a single color is an easy, effective way to quiet thoughts. Breathe slowly, tune into the scent and hue you’ve chosen, and imagine that color filling and aligning your third eye and crown. With practice, information will begin to arrive. Be patient and allow the experience to unfold.
