Understanding Reflectors In Human Design
Reflectors are here to mirror the masses. Their bodygraph center’s are completely undefined, not colored in. Which means they do not have consistent energy in any of their energy centers. Instead, they take in other people’s defined centers and “sample” their energy.
One of my closest friends is a reflector. It is actually pretty cool to see how much of a chameleon she is. With different people, she’ll become a mirror of who she is with or the group of people she finds herself with. She loves traveling and does not like being with one person or a group of people for too long.
It makes sense why a reflector wouldn’t want to be with the same people for too long. They are taking in all their energy. It is a lot for someone with undefined centers because you can start to distort who you actually are. Just because you sample other people’s energies, does not mean you dont have one of you own. It just means you don’t have consistent energy of your own.
One thing I have noticed or reflectors is the deep conditioning they often go through. Only 1% of the world’s population is reflectors. If our undefined centers get conditioned pretty heavily by other people, especially non-sacrals, imagine someone with all their centers undefined.
Undefined sacral beings need rest. Plenty of rest. The more undefined you are, the more likely you need time alone (to get other people’s energy cleansed from you, kind of like a detox). Stop drinking coffee and pretending you are okay, instead go take a nap or drink some tea by yourself with no stimulation whatsoever.
Reflectors’ purpose is to check the health of society. Their health will mirror how a place is doing. They are here to measure our progress as a society. For their individual purpose however, they are here to be wonderers of the universe. To try on as many different energies as they possibly can. They can commune with God in a way no other energy type can. They can see the true unity of all of us because they can feel it in their body.
It is interesting to see that all reflectors will be so different. They have their punk, sass, and tough skin. After all, being a sampler means that finding yourself will be through other people. Boundaries will be important, as well as time alone. Sleep alone if you are reflector, it will be much better for your health and overall happiness.
I know Ra says everyone should sleep alone and to a certain extent take your breaks every so often (especially non-sacrals), but I do not think this is that important except to a reflector. At least 6-feet of space so you can detox from the other person’s energy. I heavily suggest it.
Reflector’s self theme is surprise. Their not-self theme is disappointment. Usually, a reflector will feel delightful surprise when they encounter energies that feel really good to wear. This is a sign that you are in alignment. Seek out the people, places, and things that make you feel this way.
If you are disappointed a whole lot, it means there is some shifting to do. Do not worry too much about what the world has to say on what you came here to do. Believe me, you did not come to slay away at a job, or even to create a happy family, you came here to wander and taste all the flavors of the universe.
As a reflector, you will have no channels defined. But, you will still have the gates defined. Check your planetary placements and variables (arrows at the top of the bodygraph) for more information about your Human Design chart. Even though your centers will not be colored in, there is a ton of cool information you can get to know still.
Your strategy and authority as a reflector is to wait a lunar cycle. The moon will guide you and influence your mood and overall body composition. It is important you pay attention to it, as well as your cycle is you are a woman. Waiting a lunar cycle before making important decisions will save you disappointment and misalignment.
Waiting a lunar cycle means you will have sampled the energies of the entire zodiac rotation that the moon goes through. It means you will have gone through the ups, downs, and everything that is inbetween of a decision. You are ready by the end of the month. If you feel you dont have a month to make the decision, I say either don’t make it, pass it. Or, put yourself next to a person that has splenic or sacral authority.
If you soak up another person’s energy, you might as well make use of it. If you have a sacral authority make sure they do not have gate 34, as this can make things more muddy for you. Splenic will be the best go to for a quick decision. Or even self-projected since you can talk to them about the decision and feel it from there. You literally adopt other people’s energy, just use it to your advantage.
Just enjoy yourself, okay? I think Human Design is especially important for reflectors since it gives them a way to be truly seen. Not everyone is like you and that is your gift. Be weird, be yourself, be wild. You can afford to be whatever you want, so do it. And… do not forget to rest.
