The Reflector
Reflectors are the rarest type, usually quoted at about 1 percent of people. All nine of their centers are undefined, so they sample and mirror the energy of the people and places around them.

Strategy
To wait a lunar cycle. For big decisions, Reflectors are advised to wait about 28 days, one full cycle of the Moon, and to talk the choice through along the way. In that time the Moon moves through every gate, so they get to feel the decision from every side.
Signature and not-self theme
Surprise is the delight of life showing them something new. Disappointment tends to show up when they are in the wrong place, with the wrong people, or rushed into choices.
How decisions work
Reflectors have lunar authority. Clarity comes over time, not in the moment. Talking with people they trust during the month helps them hear themselves.
Common misunderstandings
- Reflectors are not empty. They take in and reflect, which makes them a mirror of how a group is doing.
- Waiting a month is for big decisions, not every daily choice.
- Feeling different from day to day is natural for this type, not a flaw.
Energy in daily life
Place matters more for Reflectors than for any other type. The right home, neighborhood and workplace help them feel well. Time alone helps them let go of energy they picked up from others.
A question to sit with
