What Is Lunar Authority?
Lunar Authority belongs exclusively to Reflectors — the rarest Human Design type. With no defined centers, Reflectors have no consistent internal authority. Instead, they are deeply attuned to the lunar cycle: as the Moon transits through all 64 gates over approximately 28 days, it temporarily defines and activates different aspects of the Reflector's chart. Major decisions are best made after experiencing a full lunar cycle with the question — allowing the Reflector to feel how it resonates at every phase.
