Svadhisthana – The Pleasure Chakra: A Guide to Unlocking It and Living the Life of Your Dreams
Svadhisthana is the second chakra in the human body. It governs life’s pleasures, ambition, sexuality, aggression, and the reproductive system. When the orange chakra’s energy is in a positive state, it leads to spiritual growth and joy through new experiences and achievements.
You can imagine Svadhisthana as a sacred vessel containing your creative impulse. Within the sexual chakra lies joy, freedom, celebration, and a world unburdened by pain or trauma.
Activating the second chakra is a path to attractiveness, sensuality, and the life of your dreams. And in this article, we’ll help you get there!
“What’s my Svadhisthana?” How to calculate it
In the Destiny Matrix, the sexual chakra is formed by three Arcana, which govern your body, energy, and emotions. To find these Arcana, simply enter your date of birth—or that of anyone you’re curious about—into our completely free Destiny Matrix calculator.
Once calculated, you’ll receive a Destiny Matrix like this one:
The orange “circles” on the Matrix represent Svadhisthana. But if you look to the left of the Destiny Matrix, you’ll notice the Health Map:
In this map, you’ll find three values. Each serves a distinct purpose:
- “Body” – the energy responsible for the health of the reproductive and urinary systems.
- “Energy” – the Arcanum that reflects self-perception (sexuality, attractiveness, ambition, etc.).
- “Emotions” – the sum of the two above. This Arcanum is the key to activating Svadhisthana positively.
How to unlock your potential and activate Svadhisthana
Now that you have your three Svadhisthana energies, it’s time to explore their meanings. We suggest placing the most focus on the “Emotions” Arcanum, though both “Body” and “Energy” are important too.
Here is our detailed guide to Svadhisthana so you can discover what makes you attractive and start living your dream life:
| Arcanum | Interpretation |
| 3 – The Empress | You are naturally attractive—it’s simply part of who you are. The Empress is the symbol of femininity, beauty, and fertility. Working with this Arcanum is similar to working with the Lovers (6): indulge in self-love. Go shopping, enjoy beauty treatments, dress up, take care of yourself, exercise—do whatever enhances your allure. |
| 4 – The Emperor | You attract others through your strength, confidence, and at times, seriousness. People see you as someone reliable and strong—someone who can offer support and take responsibility. |
| 5 – The Hierophant | Your appeal lies in your ability to communicate clearly and intelligently. You give excellent advice and leave a lasting impression as someone dependable, insightful, and fair-minded. |
| 6 – The Lovers | You’re most attractive when you’re open and attentive to your appearance—when you enjoy dressing up. Your inner kindness draws people in. You know how to have a good time, and others are drawn to your light-hearted spark. |
| 7 – The Chariot | You have a high level of sexual energy and attract through your boldness and openness. Like a daring locomotive, you charge forward with purpose and radiate success. |
| 8 – Justice | You’re attractive because of your inner balance and dependability. There’s a quiet strength about you that makes others want to trust you. You’re often seen as the rock of the family or team—someone to build with. |
| 9 – The Hermit | You captivate with your mystery. People want to read you like a book. Your emotional independence carries an undercurrent of sexual energy that’s deeply alluring. |
| 10 – Wheel of Fortune | You attract through your lightness and openness. There’s a spontaneity about you that makes people feel that any challenge can be overcome with you by their side. |
| 11 – Strength | You radiate intense sexual energy. You yourself are inspired by physical intimacy, and people pick up on that. You’re active, assertive, and opinionated. As people often say about this Arcanum: “I don’t know what it is, but they just radiate sex appeal.” |
| 12 – The Hanged Man | You’re attractive thanks to your warmth and emotional softness—you make people feel safe, like being wrapped in a cosy blanket. You’re a good listener and naturally nurturing. |
| 13 – Death | Your magnetism lies in your originality—your style, your thinking, and your presence. You have charisma, energy, and a mysterious touch that always manages to surprise those around you. |
| 14 – Temperance | You draw others in through your gentleness and, at times, your vulnerability. Your sensitivity and tenderness are rare and precious qualities. The downside? People may feel the urge to protect you—so it’s important to be with someone who uplifts rather than suppresses you. |
| 15 – The Devil | You are irresistibly attractive thanks to your charisma and sensuality. You know exactly how to appeal to others. The energy of the Devil is like a magnet. However, be mindful—this energy can tempt others away from committed relationships, and you must also be cautious not to give in to temptation yourself. |
| 16 – The Tower | You likely have a sweet and captivating appearance, and people are naturally drawn to your presence. You carry an endless energy reserve that’s noticeable—and magnetic. |
| 17 – The Star | People are naturally drawn to look at you. The Star is aptly named—you shine with a bright, mesmerising aura. At times, this can feel like judgement or scrutiny, but in truth, people are simply fascinated by your radiance. Keep shining! |
| 18 – The Moon | You are attractive due to your emotional depth and mystery. You have a unique ability to understand others on a deep level. People instinctively feel they can confide in you. |
| 19 – The Sun | You have a bright personality and a vivid presence. There may even be something visually unique about you. People enjoy spending time with you because you know how to have fun. Joy and vibrant emotions are your trademarks. |
| 20 – Judgement | Your attractiveness lies in your strong sense of self-worth. People often perceive those with this Arcanum as beautiful yet somewhat out of reach. Your emotional depth and ability to smooth over conflict make you deeply magnetic. |
| 21 – The World | You attract others through your open-mindedness. Free from prejudice or rigid beliefs, you make it easy for others to feel at ease—especially when it comes to pleasure and intimacy. |
| 22 – The Fool | Your appeal lies in your lightheartedness, humour, and ability to turn hardships into amusing or meaningful experiences. Being with you feels like everything is going to be okay—because in your world, it always is. |
Note: Arcana 1 “The Magician” and 2 “The High Priestess” are not included in this guide because they cannot appear in this specific chakra calculation.
