    Undefined Sacral Center in Human Design Explained

    Sacral center in Human Design is the second square from the bottom of your bodygraph (the one with gates 3, 5, etc.) It’s a motor center for life-force energy, working, and sexuality. If it’s white in your chart, it means you have an undefined Sacral center (or open if you have no gates activated). If it’s colored in, it means you have it defined.

    34% of the entire population has this center undefined/open.

    In Human Design, nothing is better or worse. Having a center defined is not better than having it undefined, or vice versa. It’s just a different expression and experience.

    Challenge and the potential not-self of an undefined Sacral center in Human Design

    With an undefined Sacral center, there’s the potential challenge of not knowing when enough is enough.

    You might find yourself avoiding taking a break, trying to keep up with everyone, and pushing to the point of burnout. You might be trying to show others you’re not lazy and that you work hard, spending your energy on things you think you ‘should’ do.

    With an undefined Sacral center, you take in the sacral energy that most people have and amplify it. This can make you feel like a superhuman for short periods of time.

    There is also a potential to get addicted to working. This sounds like the narrative of ”I have to do this. I have to keep up. Let me do just this one more thing. I have to finish this.”
    However, the work is never done. There’s always more you could do and your to-do list keeps getting longer and longer.

    You might not have built-in boundaries around energy so it can be easy for you to burn out, work too much, stay up too late, and push back taking breaks.

    To get out of your not-self, start noticing when your body is getting tired.

    You can amplify negative or frustrated sacral energy as well as satisfied and excited sacral energy, so be intentional about who you’re surrounding yourself with.

    Gifts and the healthy expression of an undefined Sacral center

    In your healthy expression of your open Sacral center, you know when enough is enough. You are aware when others are doing too much and can tell they need rest.

    With an undefined Sacral center, you are designed to be wise about boundaries, work, and rest. You know that money and success don’t come from working hard, instead, we’re meant to be supported.

    In your healthy expression, you listen to your body and respect your flow of energy that ebbs and flows and needs plenty of rest. You are relaxed and have healthy boundaries. Also, you are surrounded by people who honor your need for rest and don’t pressure you to do all the time.

    Questions for reflection

    Check in throughout the day to ask yourself – How is my body feeling? Take a break, lay down for 20 minutes, take a nap, instead of overdoing it to the point of absolute exhaustion.
    Is this work/job/commitment going to be sustainable for my energy level in the long term?
    Do I actually have the energy for this or am I amplifying the energy from people around me in this moment?
    How can I outsource/delegate certain tasks so that I’m not exhausted and drained?
    Do I feel guilty for taking a break? Do I feel like rest needs to be earned?
    How can I build a healthy work/rest balance?
    How do I want to define productivity? What feels aligned to me? 

    Until the next time,
