Happy Hallowspleen!

Ahhhh, everyone’s favorite time of year. I find it absolutely fascinating that the spleen holds it’s own place in the mandala. Every single gate is back-to-back, squished in between 46 and 1, and it is the only center to have this fortune… or perhaps it’s misfortune. Who knows?

During this time of year our primal fears are heightened, and isn’t it ironic that we use this time to celebrate Halloween? Dressing up in spooky costumes to honor the *all valuable* fear-pumping through our bodies. It’s unbelievable that our oldest awareness center creates an energy that is our instinct, intuition, depth, and even functioning immune systems.

My husband and I have an 8-1 compatibility configuration, sharing completely open spleens. It’s a superpower and a place where we slip right past each other because our systems have been treated so differently by the people in our lives. He had the privilege of being raised by a dad with a completely open spleen, so he has had a totally different experience of it. 

I have always sought out those who hover beyond the primal fears. Nothing feels better to me than a total lack of definition in the spleen. So naturally, I birthed two splenic children because life is indeed an ironic joke lol. 

This year we thought we would watch the splenic gates and share our findings. You can find blog posts as we publish them throughout our splenic days. I hope you enjoy, and have a happy Hallowspleen!

Gate 18 | Correction
Gate 18, Work on what has been spoilt, Correction. Biology: Lymphatic system. Focus: Taste, collective correction (not personal). Potential: to have awareness of what is vital or not, perfecting through concentration. Foundation: Conservatism. This energy is the ability to concentrate, recognize, perfect, and repeat. It is easy to hold onto tradition rather than adapt to change. Judgement leads to understanding and we call it Karma. Inferiority blindly follows. Superiority blindly blames. Integrity listens to understand.

Gate 57, Intuitive Insight, The extraordinary power of clarity, Fear of Tomorrow
Gate 32 | Continuity
Human Design Spleen Gate 32, Continuity, Fear of Failure
Gate 50 | Values
