This allows them to appraise or read their environment without taking it in too deeply. Reflectors are protected by an aura that is resistant and sampling. Even with all their nine centers open, Reflectors are not necessarily more vulnerable to conditioning than the other types. They need to be reminded that they are not the energy they are experiencing, and they can be a screen instead of a sponge. The Human Design Reflector has the challenge of being the canary in the coal mine and expressing the health or illness of what is around them. When Reflectors are making important decisions they need to be with trusted friends so they have someone to talk with. To help them get clear, Reflectors need consistent, trustworthy friends in their lives. They must have the discernment to make decisions that are correct for them. This is how they become very wise to their environment - once they learn discernment and are able to distinguish the other from themselves. They are able to sample and magnify the frequencies around them. When you stand in the aura of a reflector, they truly know you. The disappointment comes from the pressure to make decisions quickly and from their experience of the world, as they see that the planet is not fulfilling its mission. The emotional theme for the Reflector is disappointment. Sometimes Reflectors have to wait out several 28-day cycles. That does not fit into this culture! They have high sensitivity to the shifting energy of the moon as it moves through its cycle and to the people and environment around them. Because the Human Design Reflector is so changeable and dependent on the movement of the moon through their chart, the Reflector strategy is to wait 28 days to make a decision. Because of these consistent changes, a Reflector can anticipate energetic and decisive days based on their lunar cycle. What that means is that a Reflector has a predictable 28-day cycle and predictable changes within their cycle according to the position of the moon. As the moon moves through the chart of a Reflector, it brings with it consistent changes in definition. The Moon makes a complete cycle through each of the 64 Gates every 28 days. How they experience themselves is highly mutable. Every day is different for the Human Design Reflector because they are lunar beings. Their decision-making process (28 days) begins when an important offer has been made or an invitation is extended to them by others. Reflectors need to talk with others before they make decisions on important things. As a Reflector, you will need to wait through at least one lunar cycle to know how you truly feel before you make a decision on something that will you will need to integrate into your life such that your current routine is changed. The point is for you to see that there is a pattern that you can rely on. You can begin charting your 28 day cycle on ANY day. Your pattern is unique and consistent for you. You can chart your unique pattern so that you know ahead of time which days you will be on and productive, and which days you will not be as externally productive. This pattern of the movement of the Moon through all of the gates repeats itself every month. This is known as one lunar cycle, and it is the Reflector strategy for making decisions. Over the course of one orbit (cycle) the Moon will have moved through all 64 gates of the Human Design chart. The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is about 28 days. Reflector Strategy: Waiting through a 28-day lunar cycle. If they are where it’s correct for them, they will be able to do what they came here to do. If they don’t feel good or like what’s going on with them, then they are in the wrong place with the wrong people. They need to be in the right place with the right community. They are a reflection of whoever they’re with and wherever they are. They magnify and reflect all that is around them and mirror it back for others. Their life purpose is to reflect the health of the community in which they live they are the barometers of the health of the community they’re in. This makes them wise observers, and what gives them the ability to reflect their environment - they take in the energy around them and amplify it. All their centers are open - they have no definition, only gates. The Human Design Reflector is approximately 1.4% of the population.
