What Is the Soul Star Chakra? The 8th Chakra Explained

Editorial guide · Spiritual concepts are described as beliefs or practices, not established medical facts.

The Soul Star chakra is a concept used in some modern metaphysical and energy-work systems. It is commonly described as a transpersonal energy center above the crown, but its attributes are not standardized across traditions.

Why it is called the eighth chakra

The familiar seven-chakra map ends with the crown. Some contemporary systems extend that map and place a Soul Star center above it, calling this the eighth chakra. That numbering should not be mistaken for a universally agreed classical chakra system.

Where practitioners place it

Modern descriptions often place the Soul Star several inches above the crown. Exact distances, colors, symbols and associated frequencies vary, which is a useful reminder that these are framework-dependent spiritual descriptions.

What it symbolizes

Practitioners commonly associate the Soul Star with higher-self awareness, spiritual purpose, transpersonal consciousness and, in some systems, Akashic-record concepts.
