The Types in Human Design
The Mirror
The Human Design Reflector is a unique type within the Human Design system. With only about 1% of the global population, they are one of the rarest energy types. Their uniqueness lies in their openness: all of their centers are undefined, making them a true mirror of the people and environments around them. In this article, you will learn all about the characteristics, strengths, and challenges of a Reflector and how they can optimally unfold their role in life.
Are you curious?
A Reflector is like an empty vessel that absorbs, reflects, and amplifies the energy of their surroundings. This openness allows them to intuitively recognize the well-being of groups, teams, or communities. As they constantly mirror external energies, they possess a unique perspective that is valuable for the collective consciousness.
