70% 30% ovaries, testes Motor vitality, sexuality, fertility, persistence can respond with the Sacral voice, consistent access to vitality, reliable access to energy and sexual identity, pure creative potential waiting to put into action through response, life is about finding healthy ways to work of sacral energy, needs to learn to be patient. does not need to build anything. does not fall under the pressure to be as productive as others and simply enjoys life. works more as a specialist for short periods of time, usually guiding others in how to work. doesn't wait to respond but initiates and depletes their energy and gets stuck. easily enslaved to overdoing things, never knows when enough is enough, no fixed sexual identity, about experiencing life and ”lifestyle;” not about work, cannot sustain a consistent workload, exhausted by other people's energy, gets carried away (sex, sleep, food, work, anything). |

 The endocrine system |

Ovaries and Testes
In our trip through the glands of the endocrine system we now come to the ovaries and testes, which are technically both called gonads. Most people don't realize it, but both man and women have gonads. The gonads are the main source of sex hormones.
In males the gonads, or testes, are located in the scrotum. They secrete hormones called androgens, the most important of which is testosterone. These hormones tell a boy's body when it's time to make the changes associated with puberty, like penis and height growth, deepening voice, and growth in facial and pubic hair. Working with hormones from the pituitary gland, testosterone also regulates the production of sperm in the testes.
A woman's gonads, the ovaries, are located in her pelvis. They produce eggs and secrete the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen levels determine when a girl begins puberty and also has an impact on breast growth and accumulation of pubescent body fat around the hips and thighs (often much to her horror!). Estrogen and progesterone are also involved in the regulation the menstrual cycle and fertility.
Also, hormones related to our sexual organs play important roles. Testosterone is responsible for muscular strength. Female hormones allows us to feed our young and care for them for a protracted time.
Fertility
Because the sacral center is related directly to reproduction it is literally the power to impregnate things with fertility. This can be specifically about the fertilization that will result in human life but most of the time this theme of procreation is much broader than simply making babies.
For example the Channel of Mating (59-6) is a design of intimacy that of course can create a baby, but if you have this channel it doesn't guarantee you'll spend your life making babies. Having this channel actually has little bearing on how many children you will have. Nor does a defined or undefined sacral center determine how much sex you have in life.
The fertility is a much broader theme that effects everything in life. It allows a new business partnership to flourish, it gives the lively buzz to a diner party, or it simply provides an energy of abundance to your day to day life.

The fertility of the sacral is the ability to create the energy you need to live. Without our ovaries and testes we would not reproduce and die out. Without our sacral center we would stop generating life force and we would also die.
Genetic Role
Sacral Center has a quality that it shares only with the g center, namely they are the two centers that house the six role gates (can you remember them?).
In terms of the role of the Self, we have four gates in the g center - The three Sphinx gates that bring out roles of direction (the 7th gate of a logical role of Leadership, the 13th gate of an abstract role of being a Witness, the 1st gate of the individual role of being an Example), and the one gate from the Cross of the Vessel of Love (the 10th gate of the role of Behavior in the World). These are about how we move through the world in our body as unique vehicles separate from each other.
In the Sacral Center we have the other two role gates, but these are not roles of the Self in the world but rather they are genetic roles: the 59th gate generates who we bond and mate with, and the 27th generates how we take care of that bonding. Thus the sacral center determines the basic roles for the foundation of our communities, influencing the quality of our sexual relationships and the nature of why and how we bond with others.
The Only Type Center
The sacral center is the only center in the whole chart that is tied to a Type. The generator and the sacral center are one and the same. Since 70% of people have a defined sacral, you can automatically deduce that 70% of the world are also generators. This is a special relationship. It is further evidence of the importance of the sacral center. Most of us are here to generate life. Most of us are only here to find power through response.

Sacral Voice
The sacral center is similar to the throat in that it has it's own voice. The sacral voice is the "Uh-uh", the "Mmmm", the "Arrgg!", and the "Hmm..". The sounds are very primal and don't give much room for explanation. People are afraid sometimes to use them because they are so crude. If your partner asks you if you love them and you respond from your sacral, "Uh-Uh" (no), it is brutal. There is no beating around the bush. It is not mental so there is no room for reason or intellectualization. The mind can say all sorts of crap like, "How can I love you if I don't know what love is."
But not the sacral voice. It is a trinary of yes or no and there is no explanation. Often a generator will respond with the sacral and then people will go, "But why? Explain yourself. That doesn't make sense." If the generator falls into the trap of trying to explain themselves they will do it from the mind and who knows what will come out. It won't be the sacral truth.
Sometimes there is no response, either with the sacral voice or otherwise. This is because the sacral is not ready. It is simply a time to wait.

Energy Vortex
If you look at the gates in the wheel you can see that the sacral gates form a loose triangle. This is an energy vortex. If you could really see the nature of the sacral center you would see a vortex field of energy that forms a spiral.
Within the center you also have a powerful merging of energies within the circuits. So you have the connection between the 9 and the 5, and you have the connection between the 29 and the 42, and the direct connection between the 14 and the 3. There's also a movement across between the 27 and the 59, and the 34 comes in too.
This creates a powerful vortex of energy the literally vibrates from the moment a generator is born until their last breath.
Likewise, this is the vortex that all non-generators are surrounded by and conditioned to be. It is a deep pull and if they do not live their strategy they will get into situations where the energy burns them up. It is like putting rocket fuel into a moped. It goes really fast, but eventually the cylinder (throat center) burns out.
Conclusion
The sacral center can't be discussed without tying it in to the generator. It is a generator world because so many people have a defined sacral center. The sacral is similar to the throat in that it has it's own voice.
The Sacral Center is a center of availability. Each gate carries a theme of availability except for the 34th Gate, which is the gate that is busy sampling what the other sacral gates are available to. Each of the 8 gates responds to a basic need of the homo-sapiens for survival and evolution. It starts with us being available to pro-creation and nurturing (59th and 27th gates) and goes out from the tribe into the collective via the format gates and the tantric gates.
Our response is our selectivity. It is an economical quality. It doesn't’t have us squander any energy, except for what we have availability and capacity to respond to. The sacral is powerful. Enough said.
