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 4/1: Opportunist / Investigator
The conscious line 4 — Opportunist: lives through a network of relationships. Opportunities come from friends and acquaintances, so a stable circle of people is their main resource. The unconscious line 1 — Investigator: needs a solid foundation: studies a subject in depth until feeling secure. Not knowing brings anxiety; knowing gives support.
How the two fit together
A Reflector unconsciously takes on the gestures, way of speaking and facial expressions of the person it talks to. For the fourth line, which lives through relationships, this is a strong advantage: people are drawn to those who resemble them, and the Reflector's mirroring is sincere and unnoticeable.
The first line looks for a firm foundation, while a Reflector is different every day. Its support comes not from fixed traits of its own but from the knowledge it gathers and from time: big decisions ripen over a lunar cycle.
Tips
- Choose places and people as carefully as decisions: you become what surrounds you.
- Give big decisions a lunar cycle.
