Life – force and Staying Power

The middle square centre, second one up from the bottom of the life chart, is the Sacral. Another motor centre, this is the engine room of the Human Design system, powered by life – force energy. As such, it generates the juice which aims trees towards the sky, empowers baby birds to crack out of their shells and enables us to endure amazing hardship in life. It is the powerhouse centre that fuels growth, expansion and life. It harnesses an energy that has no awareness – it is just raw power, like a mechanical generator humming away, ready to unleash its stored energy.

Sometimes this centre is referred to as the ‘sex centre’ because the majority of its gates have a sexual undertone. Physically, it also relates to the testes and ovaries.

The vast majority of the world’s population – about 70 per cent – has a defined Sacral with the potential to run with this unstoppable energy. Yet, paradoxically, those people rarely know how to utilize it in a way that brings about personal fulfilment. Having something powerful in your hands doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to use it, but knowing this energy resides within can be a wake – up call.

Our sexual drive and urges also stem from this centre, opening up all manner of human interaction and co – creation. It’s important to appreciate that ‘sacral’, ‘sacred’ and ‘sex’ are closely interlinked. This centre offers a commentary on the barriers you may or may not establish in your sex life and your approach to intimacy.
