Reflector Strategy in Human Design: Why Waiting a Lunar Cycle Brings Clarity (Ep. 21)

Reflectors are not designed to rush decisions or force certainty.

In Human Design, Reflector strategy is often described as “waiting a lunar cycle” — but what does that actually mean in real life?

In this episode of Designed for More, we explore Reflector strategy as a lived, embodied process rather than a rigid rule. This is a conversation about why time is not a delay for Reflectors, but an essential ingredient for clarity. About how truth reveals itself through experience, reflection, and environment. And about what it means to live as a lunar being in a fast-paced, solar world.

You’ll hear about:
Why Reflectors need time to make aligned decisions
How clarity emerges through changing perspective, not pressure
The role of environment, reflection, and conversation in Reflector authority
Why changing your mind isn’t inconsistency — it’s wisdom

This episode gently closes the Strategy series and offers a grounded understanding of Reflector energy — for Reflectors themselves, and for anyone who wants to better support them.

✨ Note:
My dedicated episode on the Reflector Energy Type is not available on YouTube, but you can listen to it as an audio episode- just search Designed for More on Apple Podcasts and Spotify (Episode 7).
