Overview

This channel belongs to the Individual / Integration Circuit, which carries the theme of self-empowerment and intuitive survival. You have an innate connection with life on the edge, flirting with peril and playing with risk, yet you always appear to come out unscathed. That's because you can count on Spleen's innate survival instinct, which directs you through life's minefield. You are someone who could plunge from the Eiffel Tower and still manage to land on your feet! There is, consequently, an air of the invincible risk-taker about you. The 10-57 presents you with an imperceptible safeguard in the enterprises you pursue and your choices. Undoubtedly, you are safer than the majority in life.

It's not that you should go looking for trouble, but you'll find you have an uncanny ability to avoid danger and escape from hazardous situations. People will often marvel and ask, "How do you do it?" when they see you dodge danger and escape trouble. You'll be the one person who is unscathed when everyone else around you gets food poisoning, or you'll be the one who avoids being crushed by a falling piano in the street. You cannot explain this logically; it's just something that happens. The safest and luckiest place to be is right next to you!

You must learn to trust this automated impulse arising from the Spleen. It's a gut intuition based on what "sounds" right. Your being perceives vibrations every moment of the day, showing which people, environments, and decisions are correct. It keeps you as aware as a softly slumbering cat, twitching at the minutest sound or environmental alteration and then roused to immediate alertness. Any outlet originating from gate 10 indicates a forceful sense of self and love of life. For you, that appears as living life to its fullest. You can entertain doubts concerning the future, but this is counterbalanced by knowing that everything will turn out alright... somehow. You will be inclined to feel the fear and do it even so, whether regarding a pursuit, undertaking, or relationship.
