In short

What does Gate 27 mean in Human Design?

Gate 27 is the sacral energy of caring. It nourishes, protects, and cares for others, especially the most vulnerable. It is the glue of the tribe. But altruism must stay healthy: giving too much without limits exhausts and tips into inverted selfishness.

The energy of caring and nourishing, the instinct to protect and act altruistically toward others.
