The spleen chakra does not sit on the spleen, but in the center of the body, two finger width beneath the navel. It‘s pertinent color is orange. It becomes active between 7th and 14th year of life.


The solar plexus chakra is seated closely above the navel. It‘s pertinent color is yellow. It becomes active between the 15th and 21st year of life.
