Splenic Projector Human Design and the Gift of Intuitive Knowing
Exploring the 57-20 channel, oracle guidance, and the body’s wisdom in healing
I was listening to a podcast yesterday from a fellow Projector in Human Design. She was discussing the 57-20 channel in this intricate system as being the most psychic channel of all the channels combined. I have this channel defined in my Human Design chart as a 6-2 Splenic Projector, and it’s my life “purpose” to speak my intuitive knowing. However, this is not coming from my mind. Rather, the spleen is connected to being in the Now—present in the moment—to allow these intuitive downloads to spontaneously occur.
In my lifetime, I have experienced at least a hundred of these knowings, from little everyday things to life-changing, fateful events. I’ve been warned not to rent a certain office, to drive a different route home, to cancel plans for the day, and even to know there would be a major event unfolding that day which would impact the rest of my life.
The podcaster also discussed how many Projectors suffer from burnout and various autoimmune disorders. We need lots of rest between our creative bursts. We cannot come from a place of fear either, as the spleen is also connected to the fight-or-flight response, fear, and the body’s wisdom in the moment.
I have been dealing with a relapse of a chronic illness off and on for two years now. As I listened to this wise woman, I had an instant download to take a different approach to handling my health issues. It felt right. It did not come from my mind. It came from my body.
After I wrote these words, I pulled two oracle cards spontaneously—from both the Threads of Fate Sunstone Runic Oracle and the Threads of Fate Oracle.
The Rune is called Perthro, symbolizing divination, mysteries of fate, and transformation.
The “Ask Body” oracle card encourages me to dialogue with my body and go deeper than the mind—to where the root of the matter lies, where the mind can only guess, yet the body intuitively knows in the present moment. The Jaguar is the ally associated with this rune. The Jaguar also happens to be my power animal, given to me decades ago by a Peruvian shaman. Jaguar medicine helps us face the fear of meeting the unknown when diving into the deepest recesses of our innermost selves. The Jaguar helps us reclaim our power.
