Sunday, 12 September 2021
- Numerology – 3
- Rune – Berkano
- Geomancy -Via
- Moon – Scorpio until Sagittarius at 1:35 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Charisma, Power, The Brainwave
- Magickal Focus – Sun, clarity, truth, healing, courage, removing barriers, leadership
- Favorability for working magick: neutral
Intone Berkano to bring peace, calm, and healing to your mind, body, and Spirit. Be ready for a new path to open and embrace the growth that unfolds. A ritual involving the healing energy of Berkano may be helpful.
Observe rather than react to situations that may be upsetting, and avoid making decisions that could impact you later on. Let go of past woundings so that you control your perceptions and emotions instead of allowing others to affect your well-being.
Throughout the coming week, the active Channels in each day’s Human Design chart all seem to focus in some way on higher awareness. The Channel of Power as a design of an archetype suggests that maintaining a higher perspective is our natural state. Charisma describes a manifested response guided by Higher Self wisdom, while The Brainwave is a design of awareness. So, in a sense, our soul is making itself felt throughout the week in both our perceptions and behavior.
With that in mind, have the flexibility and intuitive sense to how when to alter your behavior due to outside circumstances while still maintaining your values. Doing so will expand your potential and may keep you safe when around others. Be alert to an ever-changing situation, pay close attention to what’s happening around you, and set an example for others to follow.

- Human Design Channels – Charisma, Power, The Brainwave
- Magickal Focus – Moon, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
You’re focused on practical matters but you may need to get out of your own way when finding solutions. Let go of outmoded beliefs and take control of your own fate. This is not the time to give away your choices to the agenda of others.
You express yourself well to others and prefer collaboration to an individual approach. If you exercise some restraint and respect the boundaries of others, you’ll reach a better outcome. That said, an unconventional approach may also be welcome so don’t be afraid to offer new ideas.
Avoid ambivalence that gives the appearance of superficiality. Take counsel from past experience to not only express higher principles but to also avoid aligning with others who are not trustworthy. This is a transforming time and your creative approach attracts meaningful support.

- Moon sextile Mercury
- Moon semisquare Venus

Tuesday, 14 September 2021
- Numerology – 5
- Rune – Othala
- Geomancy – Rubeus
- Moon – Sagittarius until Capricorn at 4:34 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Charisma, Power, the Brainwave, Awakening, Perfected Form, Exploration
- Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
Othala, the twenty-fourth rune from the Elder Futhark, defines our sacred space as one that involves protection of our family and shared traditions. The presence of Rubeus seems to suggest that impulse control issues, your own or that of others, could be impacting safety and security. A numerology of five signals not only change but a creative approach to solutions. Create a mojo bag to carry with you to assist you with impulse control or to protect you from the impulsivity of others.
Whether it’s regarding yourself, your family, or the greater community-at-large, profound change is afoot, and protection of self and others is required now more than ever before. A higher wisdom is at work and it’s best now to align in that truth.
Express gratitude to those around you and appreciate the blessings they bring to your life. If your emotions are in flux, and overreaction seems possible, take a walk to recenter and find your balance.
Six Channels are active in the Human Design chart that reinforce higher wisdom and awareness. Adding to the initial three Channels from Sunday and Monday, Awakening describes a commitment to higher principles, Perfected Form reflects a design of survival, and Exploration, a design of following one’s convictions. Together they suggest that survival depends upon a higher vibrational awareness informing our perceptions and decisions.
You’re called on to react with maturity and adapt when no real solutions are possible; however, don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo when suggesting alternative options. That said, taking risks without understanding their potential effect serves no one in the long run.
Aspects:
- Moon sextile Venus

Wednesday, 15 September 2021
- Numerology – 6
- Rune – Dagaz
- Geomancy – Populus
- Moon – Capricorn
- Human Design Channels – Charisma, Power, The Brainwave
- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
- Favorability of working magick: neutral
The day’s six numerology and the geomancy rune, Populus, involve a shared experience with others. In fact, Populus appears twice more this week on Thursday and Saturday reinforcing the strength of shared direction or purpose. Given that Dagaz involves the end of one phase and the beginning of another, it also suggests that all doors are open, and it’s time to awaken to the higher truth that, going forward, a shared path is necessary.
With the Moon in Capricorn, you focus on taking care of routine tasks and making careful plans for the future. That said, the Moon trine the planet Uranus (in retrograde, no less), the planet of the unexpected, suggests that you may want to leave room for a little rebellion.
Persevere against opposing forces, forming alliances with others behind the scene to promote success. However, take a step back to reevaluate your position particularly if resources are being wasted on a direction that seems to go nowhere. Take a pragmatic approach and your natural timing should serve you and others well.
Aspects:
- Moon trine Uranus R
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – yellow, purple
- Crystal – Agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, red marble
- Resin – benzoin, gum arabic, frankincense
- Herbs – marjoram, horehound, bergamot, cinnamon, lavender, caraway, cloves, licorice, mullein, peppermint, star anise, hyssop
Thursday, 16 September 2021
- Numerology – 7
- Rune – Laguz
- Geomancy – Populus
- Moon – Capricorn until Aquarius at 8:23 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Charisma, Power, The Brainwave
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
- Favorability of working magick: very good
Both Thursday’s runes, Laguz and Populus, describe flow. With Laguz, you flow in Spirit, while with Populus, you flow with the group. The idea is to allow the essence of both to flow together so that a higher awareness can inform the collaborative experience. The day’s numerology of seven provides some balance, counseling you to step back and observe suggesting that you not become so caught up in the flow of the group that you can no longer assert your own perspective.
The Moon traveling into Aquarius during the morning reinforces the focus on collaborating with others specifically in the area of social justice. If called to a leadership role, remain confident without becoming authoritative. Respect boundaries and input from others within the group.
Be certain that your responses are guided by Higher Self awareness so that you overcome challenges in a creative way and attract support. Be wary of deceptive forces that attempt to gain your trust by abusing the trust of others. And even if it seems like you get nowhere, realize that potential is often maximized from limitations that seem insurmountable.
Aspects:
- Moon trine Mars
- Moon trine Lilith
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – Blue
- Crystal – sapphire, jasper, emerald
- Resin – balm of Gilead, ambergris, saffron

Friday, 17 September 2021
- Numerology – 8
- Rune – Inguz
- Geomancy – Caput Draconis
- Moon – Aquarius
- Human Design Channels – Charisma
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Favorability of working magick: very good
Recognition may come your way on this Venusian day and you want to share that news with loved ones. Perhaps a new project or idea has caught the eye of someone in authority and it may lead to a promotion or a shift in responsibility.
If upsets or delays occur, remain calm and above the fray. Adapt to changes and be ready for the unexpected to occur, especially from close partners. In other words, embracing a radical or unconventional approach could lead you to new and exciting experiences.
Align with others to promote strength and security if you’re transitioning to a new path. Respect what they have to offer and focus on details that lead to mastery. Do your research to avoid unnecessary challenges and to eliminate resistance from others.
Aspects
- Moon square Uranus R
- Moon sextile Juno
Magickal Correspondences

Saturday, 18 September 2021
- Numerology – 9
- Rune – Gebo
- Geomancy – Populus
- Moon – Aquarius until Pisces at 1:23 PM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Charisma, Recognition
- Magickal Focus – Saturn, restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: neutral
Again, the day’s numerology and runes all signal some form of positive exchange with others. The day’s nine numerology indicates expressions of generosity and altruism are possible, while Populus suggests this experience is part of a shared path with others. Gebo defines that truth further by its gift of reciprocity and balanced energy exchange.
You may feel your mood begin to shift as the Moon travels into emotional Pisces in the afternoon. Sensitivity increases and you become more reflective in how you process past woundings. The focus now is on healing your perceptions so that you learn to see them in a more balanced way.
The Channel of Recognition is active along with Charisma to assist us in a greater understanding involving freedom versus limitation or restriction. In truth, both are informed by our choice to invoke Spirit or to devolve into ego. It also suggests that we determine our potential from the challenges and limitations we experience and that any real notion of freedom is illusory.
Use back channels to gain information that can prepare you for new challenges that arise. Recognize patterns that develop both a plan of action as well as participation from others. Stay vigilant to maintain progress but be ready to change course if the direction taken is out of sync with your values and principles.
