Reflector with Right Angle Cross of Tension 2 — Human Design Incarnation Cross

The Reflector Type

Reflectors are the rarest and most unique type in the Human Design System — approximately 1% of humanity. With all nine Centers undefined, Reflectors are designed to sample, reflect, and mirror the health of the communities they inhabit. Their completely open design means they are profoundly sensitive to their environment, the people around them, and the movement of the Moon. Reflectors are not broken Generators — they are a fundamentally different way of being human.

Strategy: The Reflector Strategy is Wait a Lunar Cycle. Because the Moon transits through all 64 Gates over approximately 28 days, a full lunar cycle gives the Reflector the complete picture of how they feel about a major decision. Major life decisions — career changes, relationship commitments, relocations — should not be made until the Reflector has had at least 28 days to feel the question through the full lunar cycle.
