You are here in this world with the natural ability to respond to whatever life offers you. Whether you realize it or not, you have a continuous stream of life – force energy to draw on in order to sustain any endeavour which earns your commitment. But because this is a motor with no ‘off’ switch, once your Sacral energy is unleashed, there’s no turning back. Its momentum means it is has to be engaged until the experience is complete. Therefore, you must be sure about deciding what and who warrants your time and energy.

The Sacral is where the gut response resides. ‘I’m following my gut,’ you might say, and this is a natural reaction within you and a reliable guide. You’ll recognize this response emanating from within: either an upbeat ‘a – huh’ for something that feels right or a frown – inducing ‘uh – uh’ for something that feels wrong. This is your gut, which is not to be confused with your emotions. A gut response might also be experienced as a rising or contracting of energy without sound, pulling you to or from someone or something.

It is an ongoing tragedy that people with this defined centre often find themselves going through life unappreciated, slogging away as the workhorse, slave or gopher fulfilling others’ projects. There can be a self – perception that that’s all they are good for. There are scores of employees out there feeling unappreciated, and countless assistants and secretaries whose powerhouse energy and unstinting effort go relatively unrewarded and unrecognized but make their bosses shine. There is a saying that behind every successful man lies a brilliant woman. I would make it less gender – specific and say instead: ‘Behind every successful individual, look to the person supporting them and see if their Sacral is defined.’ More often than not, it will be. What would they do and where would they be without you?!

Know that you are designed to be a powerhouse. Some of you might say that you don’t feel that way, and that can be true if your energy has not been harnessed properly. What I’m pointing out is the potential reserves within, waiting to be harnessed.

When you do get motoring, you’ll find other people have trouble keeping up, and this can make you feel obliged to take on their tasks as well as your own. But what you’ll notice is that throwing your weight behind an endeavour which pleases you will give you a buzz, so it therefore must be right. Intolerance, boredom, frustration or impatience with an activity suggests you have committed to the wrong thing. Learn to heed your gut response. Wait for that upbeat ‘a – huh’ or downbeat ‘uh – uh’ as your guide.

With this centre defined, sex, for you, is a driving force. This does not mean that you are naturally a lady killer or a seductress, but that you have the potential for a sustained and satisfying sex life, provided you make the right connections. This means exercising discipline and discernment rather than just unleashing the energy at every given opportunity. If you’re in tune with your gut over sexual partners, you’ll find harmony. If you indulge in reckless abandon, then frustration and depression are likely to arise. You may sometimes find yourself overburdened and unsatisfied with partners and projects, and you may ask what you have done to deserve this. The answer is simple: you have committed to people and projects indiscriminately. You have taken on too much. You have promised too much. It is therefore vital to take your needs into account – first! No one is indispensable, not even someone with a defined Sacral.

If you happen to have both the Sacral and Heart defined, you are a positive whirlwind of energy, a non – stop go – getter. Your level of achievement can defy comprehension, but you truly have to find the things you love to do – and find time to rest up, because otherwise your huge efforts and sustainable energy can leave you flat on your back.
