Cosmic octave and planetary tones
Cosmic octave
In 1978, the Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto discovered the natural law of the Cosmic Octave as a link between various types of periodically recurring natural phenomena such as planetary orbits, weather, colors, rhythms and tones. Using the formula of the Cosmic Octave, which is actually a simple multiplication of a certain frequency (just like in the classical musical octave), he converted the astronomical intervals into audible frequencies. Through the rule of octaves, where mathematics and music work together, it is possible to combine astronomical and musical formulas. Through the rule of octaves, it is possible to convert the entire solar system into sound.
Example of planetary tone calculation:
Calculation of the frequency of the Earth's rotation around its own axis (Synodic Day of the Earth):
1 day = 24 hours = 1440 minutes = 86 400 seconds
Frequencies of the Earth's rotation around its own axis:
1/86 400 = 0.000 011 574 Hz (Hertz = number of cycles per second)
We have to double this frequency several times (similar to the classic musical octave) so that it reaches a human-audible frequency. In this case it is 24 times, that is 2 24 :
0,000 011 574 Hz x 224 = 194,18 Hz
0,000 011 574 Hz x 224 = 194,18 Hz
In this way, all other frequencies of objects in the Solar System are calculated. The calculated frequencies, which are also called PLANETARY TONES, are therefore derived from their astrophysical parameters such as diameter, circumference, speed of rotation, speed of movement along the orbit, orbital period, the point of the planet's orbit closest and farthest from the sun, and so on.
Astrology, Planetary Tones and Tibetan Bowls
Anyone who has at least a little interest in astrology knows that astrology is far from being represented by a horoscope in some tabloid magazine that people read when bored.It´s rather the opposite. Observing the sky, the objects in it and looking for connections between what is happening on Earth and in human lives is as old as humanity itself. These connections observed over the centuries are certainly not a figment of human imagination, but like everything in the universe they fit together, even if many discoveries are still waiting for humanity. Through observation, people noticed the connection between individual phenomena, both on Earth and in the sky, and their connection with human characteristics, e.g. the nature of a person according to the time of birth, his state of health and the like. One of the most famous examples can be observed periodically in connection with our Moon. Its cycles have a direct effect on all living things on planet Earth. It is a well-known fact that during the full moon there is a slightly higher crime rate. The cycle of the moon also controls menstruation in women, which of course does not copy the calendar month.
However, since this site is primarily devoted to Tibetan bowls, we will not go into the details of astrology, there are many other specific websites for that. Therefore, we can assign different aspects and areas of human life to the mentioned frequencies of the cosmic octave of the bodies of the Solar System. A few examples: E.g. the planet Mercury is considered in astrology as a planet that influences communication and intellect or the planet Mars as a symbol of male willpower and ability to achieve success.
It is here that the important connection between astronomy, astrology and sound arises. This means that the frequencies of the various intervals of the heavenly bodies or PLANETARY TONES that affect human characteristics, organs, body parts, life areas and problems represent specific applicable frequencies to harmonize the very areas of life that we choose. Tibetan bowls are very powerful instruments that possess such frequencies, among other instruments. Tibetan bowls never play just one frequency, it is always a harmony of higher and lower frequencies playing at the same time. Using the healing frequencies of Tibetan bowls, either by inducing meditative states in the alpha waves or by their vibrating sound massage, you can get back to the original harmony with your own body. Using the information about chakras and the astrological aspects of sound, which you will also find on these webpages, you can create your own chakra therapy with Tibetan bowls, which you will focus on your problematic life areas. Tibetan bowls will help you get to know yourself better and progress in your spiritual development.
The frequencies of the Tibetan bowls in our e-shop are recorded with a quality condenser microphone and classified using audio software. In the description of each bowl, you will always find the frequencies in which the given bowl plays and its astrological and chakra connection, which forms another view of Tibetan bowls, which is devoted to the section: Chakras and Tibetan bowls. The most prominent frequencies the Tibetan bowl plays will always be indicated in the description of the bowl.
In the following table you will find the most common planetary tones and frequencies, the calculations of which are described above.

Planetary tones and frequencies
Planetary tones and their astrological meaning
Synodic day of Earth
194.18Hz (mp3 sample)
The frequency of the Earth's rotation around its axis. Tibetan bowls in this frequency have a dynamic, vitalizing, strengthening effect and have a primary effect on our physical body. Therefore, this frequency is mainly suitable for starting the day, that is, the energy in our physical body. This frequency is also tuned to weak electromagnetic impulses in the Earth's atmosphere, which also have an impact on the weather. Being attuned to this sound brings, in many ways, being in harmony with nature and with our physical shell, as a part of nature.

Sidereal day of Earth
194.71Hz (mp3 sample)
A sidereal day means the period of time during which the Earth rotates on its axis, but in this case it is relative to the position of the stars and celestial bodies. Earth's sidereal day is approximately 4 minutes shorter than a classical calendar day. This frequency is related to the energy of our physical body in the same way as the Synodic Day of the Earth.
related chakra: root
Earth year
136.10Hz (mp3 sample)
This is the frequency of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Tibetan bowls in this frequency have calming, relaxing, harmonizing and slightly sedative effects. They also work to relieve stress, recurring headaches, nervousness and inner turmoil. So this frequency primarily affects the mind. Interestingly, the ancient inhabitants of India tuned their zithers and tanpuras according to this frequency long before it was calculated mathematically. They knew it as "sadja" - loosely translated as "Father of others". Their instruments were thus tuned to the frequency of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Many other instruments are also tuned to this frequency, as well as the sacred syllable "OM" (Christian AMEN) meaning "so be it".
related chakra: heart
Platonic Earth year
172.06Hz (mp3 sample)
This Is the frequency of gyroscopic movement, the so-called precession. It means the movement of the Earth's axis once in a very long time. It represents the passage of age, divided according to the signs. The spring equinox is currently in the sign of Aquarius. This frequency awakens a cheerful and clear mind. It promotes unity with the universe at the highest level. This frequency had and still has the greatest weight in China, where it is considered the fundamental tone in music, which is strongly connected to spiritual life in that country. This frequency diverts attention from the physical and psychological areas of life and guides the path of spirituality. The bound color is purple. This color can be seen in religious rituals all over the world, because it opens the crown chakra, which means a deeper contact with God and our spiritual essence.
related chakra: crown
Schumann resonance
7.83Hz (250.56Hz) (mp3 sample)
The Schumann resonance, the so-called vibration of the Earth named after the physicist Winfried Otto Schumann, is actually the average electromagnetic frequency of the planet Earth. Inaudible under normal circumstances, in the audible spectrum exactly 5 octaves higher it is 250.56Hz. Neurologist and expert in brain research, Dr. Michael Hutchinson called this frequency the electromagnetic matrix for all life on Earth. It is no coincidence that the Schumann resonance is identical to the alpha waves of the human brain. This frequency is also present in the atmosphere and an average of 3,000 storms on our planet are formed in it every day. It is the waveguide frequency between the Earth's surface and the conducting ionosphere.
related chakra: heart
Synodic Moon
210.42Hz (mp3 sample)
The time span of one orbit of the Moon around the Earth, from one new moon to the next, that is, from one conjunction of the Sun and the Moon to the next. This frequency stimulates sexual energy and supports especially erotic, but also general communication as such. Also for this reason, major holidays on Earth are celebrated during full moons, even once the Christian Easter (until the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD). The frequency of the Moon regulates menstruation and disturbances in the lymphatic system. The tone of the Moon is very suitable for meditation music, because it facilitates and accelerates the flow of energies.
related chakra: sacral
Sidereal Moon
227.43Hz (mp3 sample)
The time span of one orbit of the Moon around the Earth, but this time compared to the stars, planets and the Sun. A sidereal month lasts approximately 2.5 days less than a synodic month. The moon is closely connected to human emotions and feelings, and this frequency is therefore intended for those who want to have better contact with experiencing their own emotions.
related chakra: Solar Plexus
Culmination of Moon
187.61Hz (ukážka mp3)
Lunar culmination is the period of time the moon takes from its lowest point in the sky (below the horizon) to its next lowest point. Each day the Moon rises on average about 50 minutes later than the previous day. According to astrology, lunar orbits generally have a strong connection to the subconscious and instinctual aspects of the human psyche. The frequency of the culmination of the Moon is suitable for those who want to work with their inner subconscious self and listen more carefully to their instincts.

Metonic cycle of the Moon
229.22Hz (mp3 sample)
The approximately 19-year interval in which the Sun and Moon have the same aspects on the same day. Like other frequencies of the Moon, the frequency of the metonic cycle of the Moon is related to human emotions. It is the frequency for people who may harbor unconscious or unwanted feelings towards others, it is the frequency of overcoming such feelings.
related chakra: Solar Plexus
Saros interval
241.56Hz (mp3 sample)
A time span of about 18 years and 11 days, 6585 days, when the same ecliptic repeats and the Moon finds itself in the same position to the Sun and the nodes of its orbit. The frequency of the Saros period is the frequency of the lunar cycle, romance and masculinity.
related chakras: Solar Plexus + heart
Apsidis rotation
246.04Hz (mp3 sample)
Apsidis rotation is a period lasting approximately 8.85 years. It is the gradual rotation of the line connecting the apses of the orbit, i.e. apogee and perigee, which are the points of the smallest and greatest distance of the Moon from the Earth. This astrological path of the Moon is associated with human feelings and basic emotions. This frequency puts us back in touch with our own feelings, or helps us accept our inner emotions and feelings.
related chakras: Solar Plexus + heart
Moon knot
234.16Hz (mp3 sample)
A period of approximately 18.6 years. The Moon knots are 2 points, north and south, where the moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic, that is, the apparent path of the sun in the sky. The Moon knots play an important role in meditation and represent areas of personal development. It is the recommended frequency for meditation where we focus on personal growth and development.
related chakra: heart
The following frequencies of the planets are already heliocentric frequencies and therefore have much less significance for the frequency of life on Earth than those that belong to the movements of the Earth and the Moon.
Mercury
141.27Hz (mp3 sample)
Mercury is known as the planet of communication and sharp thinking. The open throat chakra, which Mercury represents, means the strong charisma and receptivity of the individual and his ability to speak his own truth with conviction, but also to formulate in words what others can only perceive in thoughts.

Venus
221.23Hz (mp3 sample)
Venus and the fourth chakra, with which this planet astrologically corresponds, represent the ability to give and receive love. The frequency of the Venus orbit opens the fourth chakra and banishes self-centeredness, self-pity and egotism. With the frequency of Venus, we will recognize that there are other, subtler and more spiritual things in the world than just those that we can perceive with our physical senses. In addition, astrologically, Venus is the ruler of feeling beauty, love, sexuality, sensuality and harmony.
related chakra: heart
Mars
144.72Hz (mp3 sample)
With the frequency of Mars, we support an increase in energy, activity and freedom. Mars is astrologically seen as the planet of energy and expansion. Mars gives the ability to be proactive, assertive and removes fear on the way to fulfilling our desires and goals. Mars also symbolizes the male type of energy, will and desire for victory and success.
related chakra: Solar Plexus
Jupiter
183.58Hz (mp3 sample)
Jupiter bestows optimism, wisdom and faith. Jupiter supports philosophical as well as material creativity and constructive thinking. This is also why we assign Jupiter mainly to the throat chakra. With the frequency of Jupiter, we tune in to wealth (not only material), personal growth, success and happiness, which Jupiter astrologically represents.
related chakra: throat
Saturn
147.85Hz (mp3 sample)
The frequency of Saturn improves concentration and awareness. It shows karmic connections and brings structure, order and awareness. It is the structure and order of our world that we have to deal with and we will need discipline to survive comfortably within it. We associate Saturn with the first root chakra, i.e. the chakra of grounding and the need to fulfill basic life needs. It is the frequency of concentration, responsibility, discipline and also the choice of difficult but necessary life decisions.
related chakra: root
Uranus
207.36Hz (mp3 sample)
We associate the frequency of Uranus with spontaneity, independence and originality and the renewal of the old and lived. Uranus is associated with the principle of rise and fall, it embodies the search for freedom, equality and new ideas that would serve the good of all. Astrologically, Uranus is best represented by the qualities of the crown chakra.
related chakra: crown
Neptune
211.44Hz (mp3 sample)
Neptune supports intuition, the subconscious and, with it, conscious experiences in dreams. Neptune is the planet of mystics and religious and spiritual devotion. The influence of Neptune manifests itself in the form of compassion, helpfulness, sensitivity and intuition on the one hand, and on the other hand in various addictions and insufficient self-responsibility. Neptune is associated with inner vision and thus the Third Eye chakra.
related chakra: Third eye
Pluto
140.25Hz (mp3 sample)
Despite its great distance from both the Earth and the Sun (about 40 times further than Earth), Pluto is of great importance in astrology. Pluto influences the principles of group dynamics and is responsible for integrating a person into social structures. In Greek mythology, Pluto (later Hades) was the lord of the underworld, i.e. of death and rebirth. It is a symbolic rebirth during deep inner transformations and major changes in our lives. The unconscious will come to the surface, old wounds will be revealed, repressed passions and instincts will reappear. The frequency of Pluto is the frequency of change, transformation and new beginnings.
related chakra: sacral
Sun
126.22Hz (mp3 sample)
Like Mars, the Sun symbolizes active, creative power and conscious will. Just as the Sun is the gravitational center of the solar system, this frequency Zen Buddhists also call "HARA" is the center of physical gravity for the person himself, which is represented by the third chakra Solar Plexus. The frequency of the Sun is the frequency of the imaginary boundary between YIN and YANG, between one side and the other. Meditation on this frequency will lead beyond good and evil, shame and guilt, knowledge and wisdom, beyond action and reaction.
related chakra: Solar Plexus
How do the chakras connect astrologically with the energies of the planets?
Just as holistic counselors connect the balance of body, mind, and spirit to the chakras, so can astrology be used to express balance with one's self, the Earth, and the universe. Let's think of the planets as receptors. Streams of energy flow from each chakra to the corresponding planet and from there to the surrounding star community. Not all chakra or planetary energies flow smoothly. Just as a dam holds back the flow of a river, our inner energies can also be held back. Opposing aspects between planets can indicate a corresponding energy blockage in a particular chakra. Each chakra or planet then affects how we behave in everyday life, to other people and to our surroundings.
For example, if Mercury is in opposition or square to a planet, which are astrological terms for opposites or obstacles and tensions, the ability to communicate will be colored by the energies of that planet.
Other examples:
If Mercury were in a square with the Sun, your ego would tend to interfere with the effectiveness of your communication skills. Mercury in opposition to Neptune may indicate an inability to verbalize one's imagination and thoughts. If Mercury were in opposition to Saturn, you might have problems with planning things, determining goals and priorities, and generally with self-organization. In these examples, you could see how different areas of life are influenced according to the aspects of the planets.
