Where it comes from
The Reflector’s authority: there is not a single defined center in the chart, and the person reflects their surroundings entirely.
How it sounds
Not by a voice but by change: over a lunar cycle the same decision turns its different sides, and by the end the real one becomes visible.
What it looks like in life
You come back from noisy acquaintances and for half the evening speak in their intonations, while the people at home exchange glances. The new job seemed wonderful for the first two weeks, then one person left the department — and the place became unrecognizable, though the desk and the salary are the same. In a big shopping mall you last an hour, while in an empty morning park you suddenly understand more about yourself than in a month of conversations. In the kitchen they hurry you: “so, are we taking the dacha?” — and you honestly don’t know, but by the next such conversation you know for certain. What you need is not advice but a calendar on the wall.
How long to wait
About twenty-eight days. That is not a figure of speech but a full turn of the Moon through the chart.
Where people most often go wrong
Giving in to the pressure of “decide now.” A quick decision for a Reflector is almost always someone else’s.
Where to start
Set a rule: anything important — no sooner than a month. And live through that month in different places and company, watching how your own attitude changes.
Don’t rush; let the decision go through a full cycle.
How it connects to the rest of the chart
Authority works as a pair with the Strategy of your Type: first Strategy brings the situation to you, then Authority tells you whether it’s yours or not. And Profile describes the role in which all of this happens. The defined centers are what Authority is made of.
This Authority has no center: all nine are open. It occurs in these Types: Reflector.
