April 22, 2024

Reflectors’ magic is expressed through fluidity, childlike wonder, and delight. Allow each day to unfold a new experience.

Human Design Reflectors

You, beautiful Reflector, are a rare gem. 

When living authentically, you operate differently than 99% of the population and possess incredible attributes. 

Your magic is expressed through your fluidity, childlike wonder, and delight at the newness experienced each day.

But, sadly, many Reflectors have been conditioned to live a homogenized life — trying to fit into a society that’s never encouraged you to embrace your unique sense of self and way of navigating life. 

Here are 7 Success Keys to help you own your innate power.

Elevate Your Environment

You’ve probably heard the theory that your success is a reflection of the people you spend time with. It’s especially true for Reflectors. 

You’re a reflection of your community, workplace, and family. 

You can sense the physical, psychic, and emotional alignment of those who surround you.

It’s like you’re an energetic barometer for the group dynamic. And you innately know what needs to change if it’s out of alignment.  

Trust your inner knowing and choose an environment that feels healthy and supportive. 

You’ll know you’re in the right place when you’re in the flow, feel lit up, and experience surprising synchronicities and positive opportunities.

Practice Healthy Detachment

You’re highly sensitive and empathetic. These are beautiful gifts if you use them as insightful tools.

But if you form attachments to, and identify with, other’s pain, you’ll reflect and amplify their shadowy energy. Resulting in drama, nervous system deregulation, and misalignment.

When you begin to practice healthy detachment from the energy you’re mirroring (learning that you’re not responsible for anyone else’s emotions or actions), you’ll thrive. 

Sample their energy, let it pass through, and reflect back to them, but don’t take it on as your own.

Use Disappointment as a Realignment Tool 

Befriend your Not-Self theme of disappointment. It’s simply your body’s way of telling you you’re out of alignment. 

Reflectors are designed to be surprised and delighted by life. When your spirits are dampened, take a good look at your environment.

Who are you spending the most time with?

How do they affect your energy?

Is it time to move on from a job or relationship?

Explore new environments and see how they feel.

Honour Your Lunar Connection

Reflector, you and the moon have a thing going on. 

With so much openness in your chart, you’re highly attuned to celestial energy (planetary transits). 

And you have Lunar Strategy & Authority. Meaning, as the moon transits through the 64 Human Design Gates each month (learn about them in my free Gate Guide), you’ll experience how each unique energy affects how you feel about a particular situation, opportunity, or decision. 

It’s recommended that you wait a full lunar cycle (starting the day the decision presents itself and going on for 28 days after) to make a big (life-impacting) choice. 

When you and the moon have moved through the 28 days together, you’ll have experienced the full spectrum of energy, emotion, and activation, allowing you to look at the big picture and make a confident decision. 

Allow the moon to walk with you, and watch your life change.

Cultivate Patience

Yes, 28 days is a loooong time to wait to make a decision. 

But during that time you’re actually not waiting, you’re experiencing. 

Getting a taste of each Gate’s energy and feeling into the opportunity from all different perspectives.

If you rush a decision, you may find yourself seeking out or becoming dependent upon external opinions. 

Remember, no one knows you better than you. You just need to feel the totality of your energy before knowing what’s right. 

The more you relax into this strategy and don’t let society program you to rush things, the more aligned, supported, and confident you’ll feel. And the more successful your decisions will be.

Make Self-Care a Regular Practice

After sampling the energy of others all day, supporting and regulating your nervous system should be a non-negotiable daily practice. 

You need space to settle into your own energy field and return to your natural rhythm.  

Whether that’s taking a warm shower or bath after a long day, or a daily yoga or meditation practice, for a Reflector, it could be life-changing.

Resist Identifying with Labels

How dreary — to be — somebody! – Emily Dickinson

Treasure your uniqueness and continuous evolution.

What’s happening in the planetary transits and who you’re spending time with can affect how you show up each day. You’re not meant to be just one thing. You need to flow with what excites you and also feels supportive. 

Allow your interests to change. You’re always shifting and evolving. Transformation is your thing. And your magic is found in your openness and fluidity.

Settling into a label like “Marketing Manager” or “Hockey Mom” may elicit the feeling of being boxed in, and may keep you from moving out of that identity when you feel called to.

It’s okay to ask, “Who am I?” And not have an answer. 

Instead ask, “Who am I today? Or in this moment?” 

Living in the wonder of the moment with an inner knowing that there’s something more waiting for you around each corner is what cultivates your signature of surprise and delight. 

Wishing you surprise, delight, alignment, and love!
