“Wait a Lunar Cycle” is the Reflector’s Strategy. It means waiting approximately 28 days (a full lunar cycle) before making major decisions, especially around relationships, jobs, relocations, or life changes.
Reflectors are energetically open and deeply influenced by their environment and the movement of the Moon. As the Moon travels through all 64 Gates in the Human Design Mandala, it activates different parts of the Reflector’s chart—offering a full range of internal perspectives.
By waiting a full cycle, Reflectors gain clarity not just from time, but from sampling the many angles and shifts that naturally occur. What feels correct at the beginning may look different mid-cycle. The process helps them notice patterns, feel into possibilities, and make decisions from awareness rather than pressure.
This Strategy helps Reflectors avoid disappointment (their not-self theme) and instead experience their signature feeling of surprise and delight—the sense that life is unfolding in magical, unexpected ways when they are aligned and in the right place.
