The task of the SpleenDo you remember of those old scales where the two sideshad to be in balance? You began with putting something onone side and something on the other and then you kept onadding or removing till balance was reachedLikewise the task of the Spleen is to check out, at anymoment, whether there is a kind of balance, harmony orresonance between the inner world (the «inside» of the body)and the outer world (the «outside» of the body), or whetherthere is something which needs to be regulated or requiresadaptationOn this regard, the more you’re going to tune yourself toyour body’s frequency, moment by moment, the more youbecome able to create the right conditions for resonancebetween what you get to experience in the outer world, interms of relationships and experiences, and the core essenceof your being

Journey into your SpleenThe Spleen in your chart is: connected to the Root, through the 58/18 Channel of Judgement, a design of Insatiability split from the 5/15 Channel of Rhythm, a design of being in the Flow, defining your sacral authority Honoring your sacral response is the key for you either to experience a consistent “feeling good” sensation within your body, by keeping your immune system strong, or to find your own way on the material plane, by moving in the flow with life It’s the moment you respond to a request or an invite in the now, out of your sacral response, that you become able to rely on your own taste and instinct about whether a certain kind of physical activity, diet, medicine, etc can be healthy for you or not

58-18 Channel of Judgement – A design of InsatiabilityInsatiability is all about not being satisfied with doing something because you’re not happywith the way you’re doing it (negative self-criticism), or because you know that you can do itbetter and better (love of life)?Correction made out of love of life has a different taste … than correction made out ofmental judgement!
Gate 18Correction as an expression of Love for yourself and the world you live in It’s your confidence in your own taste in the now the key for you to judge whether there is something to correct with regard to your life’s patterns/habits, in order to improve your health conditions or your well-being Your confidence in your own taste is the key for you to demand and maintain high standards with regard to what works to keep yourself healthy and to challenge anything and anyone who doesn’t meet them … and this is the path leading you to become a differentiated human being An energetic obsession to correct might be there, but it needs to be oriented to the higher good, i.e. to the benefit of collectivity and not to personal issues, otherwise there cannot be any satisfaction out of correction The moment you love the world around you and being in this world as yourself, you get to see that there’s nothing to correct, because everything is perfect as it is ... At the same time, though, you might get to realize that you can give your own contribution to make things better and better in this world, and whatever you’re going to provide as a correction will always be rooted in your own love of life The moment you recognize that it is beyond your power to solve a certain issue alone, you become aware of the crucial role played by relationships with regard to correction, regardless of whether you’re the patient seeking for guidance, or you’re the therapist asking the patients to provide the energy and resources to heal themselves
Gate 48No real solution will ever come, by pretending a problem is quickly solved! Inadequacy is there when you think you don’t have the resources to deal with your current situation, but resources will always come to you at the right moment Regardless of whether it’s a matter of improving your health conditions or well-being or finding your own way on the material plane, any solutions will flow out of your inner well by witnessing yourself facing your deepest existential fears As the development of taste and depth is a long-term process, there will always be people interfering with that, by inviting you to experiment with what might not work for you, thus it’s entirely up to you standing up for what you judge healthy for yourself in the now Waiting to be recognized for the depth of your talent and surrendering to not knowing what is going to flow out of your inner well are the keys to discerning what is of value to the collective, not just to yourself, and this is what taste is all about
Gate 32Instinctively smelling when change or transformation is needed to avoid failure When is it healthy leaving the old to embrace the new? It is by relying on your own instinct in the now that you will know how to approach change or transformation in order to preserve success and avoid experiencing failure … on this regard, the key is to let go of what doesn’t work for you and/or your tribe anymore, so that you can hold on to what works, i.e. to the rootstock, and grafting the new onto that Being successful on the material plane is essential to be able to survive in this world … if we don’t have the material resources we need, we fail at surviving as human beings … however true success means no longer being ruled by the concept of success and failure … in other words, it’s all a matter of raising your frequency beyond the duality between success and failure and surrendering to how things are designed to flow within the great cosmic pattern of life, because money always arrives just when it is needed Whenever a change or transformation is required, with regard to your physical body, your situation on the material plane or your tribe’s survival, it is by relying on your instinctual awareness in the now that you will know whether it’s correct for you to wait for the right circumstances to be there before making the change or transformation effective, or if it’s necessary to pass immediately to action, no matter the consequences or impact on others
Open Gates in your Defined Spleen Gate 57 A symbol for this gate is the wind, and you can never know what carries the wind or whether it is going to be a gentle breeze or a violent hurricane … what if something bad is going to happen to you? Just thinking of that brings out a feeling of uneasiness A lesson to learn here is to trust your inner intuition, that sixth sense operating inside of you proving that you’re taken care of, as this is the key for you to develop inner security, rather than thinking of creating external security as a way to feel safe in this world Gate 28 Living your life to the fullest means taking risks, as you can never know what is awaiting you around the corner, and at any moment you might happen to find yourself between life and death … learning to recognize the way your inner intuition works is crucial to keep yourself healthy or alive Something to ponder here is that life is a game you’re not in charge of, because it plays itself out … nevertheless, the moment you accept to be totally involved with it by letting go of any expectations about it, then what you get to see is an underlying purpose in whatever you happen to go through
Open Gates in your Defined Spleen Gate 50 You might feel concerned about opposing your tribe/community/family’s traditional values, however everything starts with taking care of yourself by being correct with yourself, as this is also how you become able to take care of others correctly Something to ponder here is that true harmony, either within yourself or in your interactions with others, can be established by determining your own values/laws out of your Strategy and Authority on one side, and on the other by empowering who is around you to individually express themselves according to their own values and laws Gate 44 This hexagram is called Coming to Meet, thus the focus here is on relationships and on whether they’re functional with regard to your own purpose in this life or not … beyond that, this is the gate of Alertness, and the point here, whenever you find yourself involved with a relationship, is whether it is healthy for you to be alert about it, because of what you’re able to remember from your past experiences, or not A lesson to learn here is to trust your own instinct by relying on smell, as this is the key for you to align yourself to your own trajectory and to recognize, among whoever is going to cross your path, the ones who belong to your same fractal
