Astronomical Zodiac Scale (temperament)

I have used a short audio sample of the "Ancient Solfeggio Scale" (with the frequencies as proclaimed by Dr. Horowitz) from a video by David Sereda. (https://youtu.be/Sh-z__hHVP4?t=244)

Those of you who have visited my blog know I do not like the Horowitz tuning concept very much. So, to make sure you know I have not "manipulated" those tone frequencies, I have sampled it from someone else I don't know, David Sereda in this case.

This is the article of my blog this sample is used for: https://roelsworld.eu/en/tuning-frequency/Ancient-Solfeggio-Frequencies/

A scale with the "Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies" as proclaimed by Dr. Horowitz

7. Crown Chakra - Violet - F (684Hz)

6. Third Eye - Indigo - E (648Hz)

5. Throat Chakra - Blue - D (576Hz)

The Tone-Chakra combination I use is different then what most people use. Most simply start from C at the Solar Plexus, with the result that C=Red. 

In Physics though, when you convert color wave-length to Sound and visa versa, you find C at Green. This made me wonder ...

- From a music theoretic point of view we do find “Middle C” in the middle  between the treble and bass clef.
- Middle C is also in the center of the human vocal range. 
- In the Circle of Fifths, the C is located at the top in the middle. When turning clockwise the number of sharps increase with every step. When you turn counterclockwise, the number of flats increase with every step. C holds the neutral center.

Thus, relating the note / tone in the middle to the color in the middle of the color spectrum (green) makes sense. It just aligns "naturally".

You could also look at it from a “spiritual” point of view.
- In Sanskrit, Anahata (the 4th and “Middle” Chakra) is associated with balance, calmness, and serenity. Anahata means “pure” or “clean, stainless”, “unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten”. 
That seems to me like a good match with the tonality of C: 
no “accidentals“ (sharps or flats).
- The color traditionally used for the 4th (Middle/Center) Chakra is Green.

With other words: middle C, green in the middle of the color spectrum and middle Chakra (green again). Too much "aligns" naturally for it to be just "coincidence ...

4. Heart Chakra - Green - C (512Hz)

3. Solar Plexus - Yellow - B - Flat (458Hz)

2. Sacral Chakra - Orange - A (432Hz)

1. Root Chakra - Red - G (384Hz)
