The Reflector
Almost entirely open, and therefore an instrument for reading the room rather than a fixed self.
What a Reflector actually is
A Reflector has no defined centres at all. Everything is open, which means everything is taken in and amplified. A Reflector in a healthy environment feels remarkable; the same person in a bad one feels unwell, and the difference is the room rather than them. Rarest of the five by a wide margin.
Strategy: wait a lunar cycle
For anything major, wait about twenty-eight days and let the Moon move through the whole cycle. A Reflector's clarity is not a moment, it is a pattern that shows up over time, and rushing it means deciding as somebody else.
How to tell if it is working
Surprise and delight when the environment is right. Disappointment when it is not, which is a signal about place and company rather than about self.
Type is only half of it. Your authority is where a decision actually registers in your body, and two people of the same type with different authorities decide very differently.
Where the other mirrors say something similar
Human Design is one of six traditions Six Mirrors reads from a single birth moment. It was assembled in 1987; the Vedic and Chinese systems it borrows structure from are thousands of years older. Seeing where they independently agree is more informative than any one of them alone.
Computed from the true osculating lunar node rather than the mean node, which is the more accurate position and can change a gate outright. Nothing here is generated by a language model.
