Center in Human Design
Spleen
Intuition, immunity, survival, taste, smell
- Function
- Intuition, immunity, survival, taste, smell
A steady inner knowing and immunity. A quiet voice that speaks once.
When defined
The Spleen is defined — you have constant access to survival intuition. A strong immune system, a subtle sense of danger, refined taste, caution. A healthy Spleen works in the present, here and now. The trap is not hearing the quiet signal because everything is too noisy around.
When open
The Spleen is open — there is no constant inner sense of “all is well.” You may not sense danger in time, you may pick up other people's fears, you may hold on to unhealthy situations (relationships, work) longer than you should. The main trap is fear of releasing a familiar harm.
Not-Self & Wisdom
Not-Self: Holding onto unhealthy things — relationships, habits, work — out of fear of the unknown.
Wisdom: Know when it is time to let go. Sense the health of other people.
