Strategy tells you how to enter a situation; authority tells you whether it's right for you. In a Reflector with lunar authority, these two pieces combine in a particular way.
To understand each piece on its own, read the guide to the Reflector in Human Design and to lunar authority. Don't know your combination yet? Get your free chart.
How this combination works
The only authority a Reflector can have: the Moon moves through all their gates in about 28 days, and that cycle shows the decision from every angle.
Their way of deciding is to let a full lunar cycle pass and notice how they see the decision on different days.
Exercises to practice it
- ✦Before each important decision, remember your strategy: wait a lunar cycle before major decisions.
- ✦Then apply your authority: let a full lunar cycle pass and notice how they see the decision on different days.
- ✦Keep a one-week log: what you decided, how you decided it, and whether surprise or disappointment showed up.
What the body says
Deciding against your authority for years tends to leave a mark: fatigue and confusion when living somewhere that isn't good for it, or deciding under other people's urgency. In the GALA Method, Gabriela combines your chart with Biodecoding to work on that pattern.
