Two systems, joined late

Chakras come from Indian tantric traditions and are documented from roughly the eighth century onward. The Tarot arcana are European and considerably younger. The Destiny Matrix places one on top of the other, which is a modern editorial decision rather than a correspondence either tradition would recognise.

That does not make the mapping useless — grouping 22 descriptions into seven themes is a reasonable way to read a chart. It is worth knowing that the join is recent, since it is often presented as ancient.
