The rhythm of the Moon

A Reflector has no consistently defined center, and so no inner voice to rely on at every moment. Instead there's a rhythm: each month the Moon passes through all 64 gates and “switches on” different channels in the Reflector's chart. Because of this, your state and your view of things change from day to day — and repeat with the lunar cycle.

To see a decision from every side, a Reflector needs a full cycle — about 28 days.

How to decide

  • Put big decisions off for about a month.
  • During that time, tell people you trust about them and listen to your feelings.
  • Watch how your attitude changes on different days.
  • By the end of the cycle, clarity usually comes on its own.

A Reflector doesn't need to hurry — your answer ripens along with the Moon.

Not everything needs a month

Everyday little things don't need a lunar cycle. This is about big turning points: moving, work, relationships, serious financial steps. That's exactly where haste most often leads to disappointment.

Environment and people

A Reflector mirrors their surroundings, so the right place and people are the foundation of your decisions. In a healthy environment clarity comes more easily; in a chaotic one it gets lost.
