Being a 6/2 Reflector combines two layers of your chart: your type, which describes how your energy works, and your Role Model/Hermit profile, which describes your role and the way you learn. Together they explain why some situations feel right and others drain you.

What it means to be a Reflector
The Reflector has all nine centers open: it mirrors the health of its environment and community. Its strategy is to wait a lunar cycle before major decisions; when followed, its signature appears —surprise— and when forgotten, the not-self theme of disappointment shows up.
Its aura is resistant and sampling: it tastes other people's energy without keeping it.
The 6/2 profile: Role Model and Hermit
Line 6, conscious, is the Role Model: it lives in three stages —experimenting until 30, observing until 50, embodying after— and seeks authenticity. This is the part of your profile you recognize in yourself.
Line 2, unconscious, is the Hermit: it has natural talents others see before they do, and needs time alone. Others usually see it first.
The 6/2 profile has a Left Angle: a transpersonal destiny, fulfilled through other people.
How they combine: the 6/2 Reflector
In maturity they become a wise mirror for their community, able to show objectively what is healthy and what isn't.
Their sensitivity to evaluate environments is a talent others see before they do. Retreat helps them not keep other people's energy.
Practical keys for a 6/2 Reflector
- ✦Strategy: wait a lunar cycle before major decisions. Try it for a few weeks and notice when surprise appears.
- ✦Honor the stage you're in: what you observe from a distance today is what you'll embody later.
- ✦Protect your time alone: that's where the talents others come looking for recharge.
- ✦When you feel disappointment, ask yourself which decision you made without following your strategy and authority.
The 6/2 Reflector and the body
In her practice, Gabriela sees that Reflectors often express their not-self in the body: fatigue and confusion when living somewhere that isn't good for it, or deciding under other people's urgency. From the Biodecoding perspective, those symptoms are worked on by finding the emotional conflict that sustains them, always alongside medical care.
