Reflector: the human mirror
A Reflector has no definition at all, so it is the most changeable of the types. Today it is cheerful and full of energy, tomorrow melancholy, and the day after it takes on something no one expected — depending on whom it spends time with. But a Reflector is an expert in people: within minutes in a new group it senses the mood, who leads and who is on what terms with whom, and flattery rarely fools it.
The weak spot is seeing yourself as a "crooked reflection" of others or trying to take over someone else's life entirely: without energy of its own it can't keep up another's rhythm, and disappointment follows. So the most important choice for a Reflector is its surroundings, and big decisions are best made without haste, over a lunar cycle.
Profile 3/6: Martyr / Role Model
The conscious line 3 — Martyr: learns through trial and error. Bumping into things isn't failure — it's how they find out what works and what doesn't. The unconscious line 6 — Role Model: lives life in three stages: until about 30 — experience through their own mistakes, then — observing “from the roof”, after about 50 — becoming an example for others.
How the two fit together
The third line and the Reflector seem made for each other: each new person lets the Reflector taste one more life, and the more encounters, the richer its experience. Even trying to live as someone else for a while is a valuable experiment that makes it clear you have your own path.
The sixth line watches from the roof, and a Reflector naturally sees people without bias. With age this makes it a wise witness whom people listen to.
Tips
- Choose places and people as carefully as decisions: you become what surrounds you.
- Give big decisions a lunar cycle.
