A Reflector has no defined centers. It is the rarest type and the most sensitive to its surroundings: it takes in the energy of people and places, amplifies it and reflects it back. That is why a Reflector can see so clearly how a community, team or family is doing.

The Reflector's nature
Nothing about you is fixed, and that is your wisdom. You may feel different every day depending on who you are with and where you are. That makes the place you live and the people around you your most important decision.
Strategy: wait a lunar cycle
The Moon moves through all 64 gates in about 28 days. For big decisions, a Reflector waits for that full cycle and talks the decision through with trusted people, to hear themselves from different angles.
- ✓Track how you feel every day for a month: you will see your own lunar rhythm.
- ✓Choose carefully the environments where you spend most of your time.
- ✓Don't rush: clarity comes with time.
Signature and not-self: surprise and disappointment
When a Reflector lives their design, life surprises them. When they rush or live in the wrong environment, disappointment follows.
The Reflector and the body
Because they absorb so much, Reflectors can carry discomfort that is not their own: shifting symptoms, unexplained fatigue or immune sensitivity. Biodecoding works on telling apart what is theirs from what was inherited or absorbed from the environment.
Reflector: frequently asked questions
Do Reflectors have an authority?+
Their authority is Lunar: clarity arrives after moving through the Moon's cycle, in dialogue with trusted people.
Is it bad to have every center open?+
No. It is a design with great wisdom about others. The challenge is not to identify with what you absorb.
