This guide is part of the Human Design centers. To see whether it shows up in yours, get your free Human Design chart or start with the complete Human Design guide.

Defined Sacral Center

Its link to the body

In Human Design, the Sacral Center is associated with the ovaries and testes. In Gabriela's work, open centers are often where the body expresses what isn't ours. This is a complementary view, not medical advice.
