Vishuddha — Throat Chakra, Purified Expression

Vishuddha means 'especially pure' — the center of speech, truth-telling, creative expression. Its element is ether (akasha), the space that allows sound to travel. Hex 57 (The Gentle) is doubled wind, penetrating influence through communication. Hex 45 (Gathering) is lake over earth: the assembly that requires a clear voice to unify it. Vishuddha is not volume but clarity — the throat that speaks what the heart knows.
