Reflector 101: Living Your Lunar Design
Reflectors: Navigating Life's Rhythms with Grace and Understanding
The Reflector holds a special place within the energy Types, and comprises a mere 1-2% of our population. You will notice a Reflector’s chart clearly because it will have nine white/Open Centers. Each of the other Types (Manifestors, Projectors and Generators) have some sort of consistent definition within their design. If you are a Reflector, your life is intricately woven with the moon's cycles, pattern which deeply influences the way you perceive yourself and your place in the world. You were born with a very special attunement to the cosmic environment we all live in. As a thoughtful observer, you offer a unique perspective, a window into the collective soul, unearthing the depths of our shared humanity. Here are a few facts about the Reflector energy type:
Aura: Sampling
Not-Self Theme: Disappointment
Strategy: Wait a Lunar Cycle
Energetic Signature: Surprise
The Challenge of Impulse and Pressure
Despite the rare and insightful nature of Reflectors when they are healthy, it's important to acknowledge the struggles that come with this type when identified with their conditioning. Often, Reflectors feel the urge to act on impulse, grappling with internal pressures and trying to alleviate them in any way possible. This urgency can sometimes lead to a misalignment with your true nature, causing frustration and confusion.
For many Reflectors, (me included) the idea of aligning with a lunar cycle can seem daunting, especially when already feeling the weight of external expectations and pressures. I promise, this doesn’t have to be a stage that goes beyond “difficulty at the beginning.” It's crucial to demystify the notion that being a Reflector means adhering to a complex, mystical process. In reality, your strategy is both simple and practical, rooted in the rhythm of the natural world, and specifically the Moon. But how we begin to navigate this unique role? The strategy is simple yet profound: wait a full lunar cycle.
The Reflector Strategy: A Full Lunar Cycle (28 Days)
Reflectors are here to show others what it means to live in raw and revealing ways. There is no reason to live afraid when we have our strategy to guide us. We possess the unique ability to mirror the world around us, giving us a glimpse into our collective state, both as individuals and as a whole. During this lunar cycle, you have the opportunity to reflect on the various influences around you. As you notice the changes in your energy, assess and measure your responses, you can begin to understand which aspects truly resonate with your core being and which do not. Kind of like an emotional litmus test. This period of observation and reflection allows you to make decisions that are more aligned with who you are, rather than reacting to immediate pressures or impulses.
Waiting doesn’t mean put your life on hold.
As a Reflector, your aura is like a sensitive instrument, picking up the nuances of your environment and the moon's phases. The moon's journey through various zodiac signs every 2.5 days offers you a lens to view your inner self and the world. For instance, you might feel a burst of detail-focused energy when the moon is in Virgo, or a desire for adventure when it's in Sagittarius. This lunar connection is key to understanding yourself and the world around you. It's about deeper, more significant life choices. Your daily decisions, like choosing your attire or your dinner, aren't bound by this cycle. It's about the major turns in your life's journey.
The core strategy for Reflectors is to embrace the full lunar cycle. This approach is not about adding a layer of glamour to your life but about finding a practical and grounded way to align with your inner self. By observing how your definition shifts throughout the month, you can reorganize your life in a way that is more in tune with your true nature. This process is about cultivating a dynamic approach to living in the world, one that respects and honors the unique fluctuations in your energy and perspective.
A New Approach to Self-Care
Understanding and aligning with your lunar cycle is not just about decision-making; it's a transformative approach to self-care. By attuning to your natural rhythm, you can create a life that is tailored to your unique needs and energies. This alignment leads to a more harmonious and fulfilling existence, where you can navigate life's challenges with greater ease and clarity.
In embracing this strategy, you'll find that the lunar cycle is not a constraint but a liberating framework that guides you to live in harmony with your true self. It's a journey of discovering a deeper connection with the world and with yourself, a path that leads to genuine satisfaction and peace.
Navigating the Open Centers
Ah! The beloved Open Centers. Our openness to our surroundings can be both a gift and a challenge. Say you're at a holiday gathering, surrounded by friends and peers passionately talking about their careers and how they just love what they do. Depending upon which centers are open and susceptible to conditioning, you may feel a sudden burst of energy pulling you to pursue a similar path. And don’t get me wrong, these sudden yet intense impulses can feel exciting. Who doesn’t want to feel inspired? This is the very moment where our strategy is vital. As Reflectors, we aren’t in the moment decision makers, not for the big things. For major life decisions, it’s essential to wait and see if these feelings endure through the moon's cycles. Another word I like is vital. Waiting is vital to our well-being. It’s where our vitality comes from. If you have been feeling like life, relationships or the way you spend your time is just draining you, consider experimenting during the next month with your lunar cycle and you will see the difference. This period of reflection helps us ensure that our choices resonate with our true self.
Living from your Signature - Surprise
In this journey, learning to love your open centers is transformative. It's about accepting yourself for who you are, embracing both your strengths and areas for growth, and allowing life to unfold before your eyes. This process is a blessing, bringing color back to your life and lightness to your being, all from the inside out. Honoring the dynamics of our lunar cycle allows us to tap into our most natural and effortless rhythm, revealing the secret that is concealed when we live in transference - that of our energetic signature.
Remember to Talk-It-Out
Discussing your thoughts and ideas with people you trust can bring clarity and alignment, helping you navigate life with less stress and more wonder.
