Swadhisthana Chakra (22 Arcanum)

Swadhisthana chakra is one of the key energy centres responsible for a person’s wellbeing and vitality. This chakra can either be open or blocked. When it is closed, it can lead to physical and emotional imbalances due to obstructed energy flow. To unlock it, a Destiny Matrix calculation is performed to understand the root of energy depletion. Decoding this data also reveals how to raise the energy to a positive level and restore the chakra’s function. All the essential information lies encoded in one’s date of birth.

What is the Swadhisthana Chakra?

Swadhisthana is the second chakra in the energetic system. It governs sexual energy, feminine essence, creativity, and physical pleasures. Its Sanskrit name means “one’s own abode.” In the body, it is located between the top of the pubic bone and the navel.

This powerful energy centre rules all bodily fluids, as its elemental association is water. Its interpretation is based on three energetic aspects or Arcanum types:

• Physical state
• Energetic strength
• Emotional balance

The harmony of Swadhisthana affects the balance of bodily fluids and plays a key role in overcoming personal shortcomings.

Chakra Symbols and Colours

Swadhisthana is traditionally symbolised by a lotus with six petals. At its centre is a white crescent moon, representing the water element. Inside the crescent is the mantra VAM, symbolising the union of air and earth — the two foundational elements.

Its primary colour is orange, which represents passion and sensuality.

Position of Swadhisthana in the Destiny Matrix

In the Destiny Matrix, Swadhisthana begins in the right-hand side of the horizontal axis and the lower part of the vertical axis of the central square. The numbers associated with this chakra reflect the levels of sexual energy and their influence on one’s thinking, actions, health, inner world, and development.

Swadhisthana in Men and Women

This chakra governs sexuality and the sense of security in both men and women. In women, it regulates the reproductive and urinary systems, pregnancy processes, pancreas, and muscles. In men, it controls intestinal function, urinary health, kidneys, and muscles. It also plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body and aiding recovery from illness or poisoning.

On a spiritual level, Swadhisthana influences self-esteem, emotional sensitivity, and susceptibility to hysteria or nervousness. It is tied to negative emotions like lust, jealousy, and egoism, as well as a love for rich and satisfying food.

Open Swadhisthana

When Swadhisthana is fully open, individuals usually experience a healthy libido, stable relationships, and often have families. Strong activity in this chakra correlates with healthy adrenal and pancreatic function.

People with an open Swadhisthana are cheerful, open-minded, and enthusiastic about new experiences. They enjoy experimentation, lead active lifestyles, and are often passionate about sports and physical activity.

Blocked Swadhisthana

A blocked Swadhisthana results in an inability to feel joy or pleasure from life. People may try to compensate through food, yet still feel a persistent sense of emptiness. They may also struggle with intimate relationships or avoid them entirely.

Women may face infertility, pregnancy complications, or reproductive illnesses. Men may experience urinary or pancreatic issues, muscle injuries, or adrenal dysfunctions leading to hormonal imbalances.

Common emotional causes of blockage include excessive aggression and an unrestrained or volatile temperament — clear signals that this chakra needs healing and rebalancing.

Swadhisthana is often blocked due to the following emotional or psychological issues:

• Rejection of one’s sexual identity (male or female)
• Phobias, fears, or anxiety about abandonment or being unneeded
• Low self-worth and disappointment in oneself
• Sexual guilt
• Shame or humiliation
• Relationship difficulties with parents, children, or partners; feelings of envy, resentment, blame, mistrust, or regret
• Stress from loss or fear of separation
• Self-punishment tendencies
• Uncontrolled rage
• Lust and promiscuity
• Fear of sexual contact

When any of these symptoms arise, chakra cleansing and energetic rebalancing is essential.

How to Activate Swadhisthana on Your Own

Swadhisthana can be unblocked independently, but this requires deep self-awareness and honesty about your true desires. It’s important to identify what you truly long for and take steps to realise those goals.

Balancing sexual energy means achieving spiritual harmony across all areas of life. Feeling safe starts with trusting both others and the world as a whole.

Life shouldn’t feel dull or monotonous. To achieve harmony, invite colour and excitement into your daily routine. Spend more time in nature, enjoy the scents of flowers and the beauty around you. Time near water — whether by a river, lake, or sea — helps relax the body and awaken the second chakra.

Using Mantras and Meditation to Open Swadhisthana

You can activate Swadhisthana by chanting the mantra VAM during yoga, meditation, or spiritual practices. Gentle, calming music and singing can also help. Affirmations for chakra balance include:

• “I acknowledge that all of my experiences with the opposite sex are positive.”
• “I forgive myself and all my partners, children, and parents for past grievances and misunderstandings.”
• “All of my experiences are positive. I choose to remain connected to the flow of sexual energy while understanding that this does not mean constant readiness for intimacy.”

It’s also important to reflect on these key spiritual truths:

1. The divine purpose of gender duality
2. Working through fears of sexual intimacy
3. Mastering lust and carnal desire
4. Letting go of expectations about the imperfections of men and women

To determine the most effective methods for unblocking Swadhisthana, you need to understand your unique energetic makeup. This can be done by using the Destiny Matrix calculator, which provides a full analysis based on your name, gender, and birth date.
