Channel 28-38

The Channel of Struggle links Opposition (Gate 38) to the Game Player (Gate 28), an Individual-circuit current that stubbornly stakes itself on finding something worth living — and fighting — for. You are a champion of individuality, unyielding in your quest for justice and truth. Despite the opposition you face, you never waver from your beliefs and principles. Your determined spirit may make life seem like an ongoing battle, but you have a purpose: to promote the power of the individual. You could be described as a rebel with a cause.

Stubbornness is a strong term that instantly brings to mind an obstinate mule. For you, however, it is a blessing, allowing you and others to battle for justice and remain steadfast despite the odds or any antagonistic forces in your way. In fact, the best thing you can hear may just be, "It's impossible." Nothing will motivate you more to persevere and achieve what seemed like a mission impossible as you utter under your breath: "Just watch me!" Have you ever encountered a gust of wind so intense that it almost knocks people off their feet? Picture walking into such a gale; this symbolizes life for those the 28-38, requiring stability, balance, and courage to move forward one step at a time.

You are someone who intuitively understands what is worth fighting for and would not hesitate to start a resistance movement in a foreign country if the people there were having their rights denied. There is something of David in you, always looking to take on Goliath, which may lead to an inclination towards battling everybody and everything. People around you may find it challenging to comprehend your inner struggle; they may say, "It's always you versus the world!" as you disregard norms and regulations. However, regardless of others' opinions, you can remain firm in listening to what resonates with your heart.

This is simply your individualistic nature. You'll go against the grain when everyone else is going with it and take an unconventional route when you could have done things the usual way. It's just you demonstrating your individuality and saying: "I do things my own way." The challenge is that your expectations may not be realistic. Your satisfaction comes from understanding which battles are worth taking on and which to let go of. Otherwise, the tenacious spirit of a campaigner may be taken advantage of, leaving you disappointed and drained. In your private life, leave behind any troubles outside the door. Don't bring them into anything that takes place in the house. And then you can sit back, get out that old Frank Sinatra record, dig in your heels, and start singing "My Way!"
