They are an exact relflection of the key pattern. The notes are D and Ab... Also Mirror images of chords create minors out of majors and vice versa If C Major is reflected in an imaginary mirror in Ab You get Am If G Major is reflected in an imaginary mirror in D you get Dm If F Major is reflected in an imaginary mirror in D you get Em	WWW C C-E-G F F-A-C G G-B-D Am A-C-E Dm D-F-A Em E-G-B
