The seven chakras by number
The chakra system comes from the Indian tantric tradition, not from Pythagoras — but it arrives already numbered, running one to seven from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, and those seven numbers rhyme closely with the numerological meanings of 1 through 7.
Each centre governs a distinct domain: the first is about safety and ground, the fourth about love, the seventh about meaning. Below is what each one governs, how it feels when it is blocked, and the number it shares its frequency with.

How to work with the chakra numbers
Unlike most of this site, the chakras are not calculated from your birth date — all seven belong to everyone. What varies is which is strained. Many readers start at the chakra matching their Life Path number (reducing 11 to 2 and 22 to 4, since the chakras only run 1–7) and use it as the centre their number most leans on.
