The Esoteric Forecast for 1-7 January 2023
The Esoteric Forecast is a comprehensive look at both the weekly planetary information as well as the daily forecast. The planetary information presented is from daily astrological charts over the course of the week, while the daily information is gleaned from each day’s I Ching-based Human Design chart, runes from both the Elder Futhark and geomancy, Cosmic Ray information, and numerology. Both the astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time.
Regarding the Cosmic Ray Influences
The effect of the seven cosmic Rays essentially impacts the soul/ego balance at any given moment. As the Rays move through the universe and ultimately reach each individual, they color (or influence) our perceptions and behavior. If we perceive our experiences from a soul perspective, then our overall perspective resonates from a higher vibration; whereas, if we react from the standpoint of ego, our resonance becomes lower and more reactive. The breakdown of the Rays follows with the daily Ray balance reflected in the daily influences.
- 1st Ray – will/power
- 2nd Ray – love/wisdom
- 3rd Ray – active intelligence
- 4th Ray – harmony through conflict
- 5th Ray – concrete science and knowledge
- 6th Ray – devotion and idealism
- 7th Ray – ceremonial order and magick
Retrograde Planets – Mars, Uranus, Pallas; Mercury
The Sun
12th House/Capricorn
At the beginning of the week, inner reflection enables you to move past issues with clarity and resolve so that a new path can open that allows you to express yourself in a positive manner. You have a powerful influence on others and you tend to stand out in a crowd. Midweek, you seem most comfortable thinking outside the box and others are eager to support your efforts. However, toward the end of the week, you may struggle with understanding the overall picture and will benefit from the opinions of others.
Sunday, 1 January 2023
1, Perthro, Laetitia, 7th Ray
Rely on higher awareness as well as a little discretion to determine your direction regarding a new opportunity. This is a time when you can set your own course instead of deferring to others. In the end, you’ll preserve your happiness instead of wondering whether allowing others to control your fate was the right decision.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (4th/Taurus 1/1-2; 5th/Gemini 1/3-4; 6th/Cancer 1/5-6; 7th/Cancer 1/7)
At the beginning of the week, you’re focused on home and hearth and getting organized. A situation may also arise where a lack of self-esteem impacts feelings of security. Although home is typically a loving and supportive environment, your own responses can be overly emotional and/or insensitive especially if you believe someone is trying to control your behavior. As the week progresses, you may realize that self-indulgence over the holiday leads to a discussion surrounding health issues. And on Saturday, you spend time with a spouse or close partner where you may feel misunderstood.
Monday, 2 January 2023
2, Raidho, Cauda Draconis, 7th Ray
Today’s two numerology aligns well with the energy of the rune Raidho with harmony and integration with others a natural result. In fact, you may be on the threshold of a new partnership forming that reflects a shared soul journey as you let go of negativity and pursue a more spiritual path. If limitations arise, be honest about your feelings as you share them with others.
Mars
Retro, 5th House Gemini
Nurturing others comes easily to you, so much so that you may be tempted to take charge of the needs of others. Although that may be fine under some circumstances, asserting your opinions in an intense manner, or trying to control others, may be off-putting and backfire. So be conscious of how you come across and what you assume others actually need.
Tuesday, 3 January 2023
3, Dagaz, Cauda Draconis, 7th Ray
Today’s rune Dagaz suggests that one period is ending and a new one is beginning. The presence of Cauda Draconis also reinforces that something is coming to an end. Whether this is expected or not, you have the opportunity to proceed in a new way. So use this time to identify and communicate any needs you have, recognize the input that others have to offer, and then let your creativity flow!
Mercury
Retrograde; 1st House/Capricorn; 12th/Capricorn (1/7)
For most of the week, careful planning is necessary so that you continue to act and speak with authority. Midweek, you may struggle to convey your overall understanding of a situation to others. You have a unique perspective that others appreciate, however, sometimes your solutions reflect much-needed practicality. On Saturday, however, you may need to rely on your intuition when gauging the integrity of someone.
Wednesday, 4 January 2023
4, Algiz, Via, 7th Ray
Today’s rune Algiz invokes Spirit awareness into your perceptions and it may provide all the grounding and protection you need. Via can indicate a new path or journey and aligned with today’s four numerology, it may be a path that leads to increased security. And if others are involved, be sure that you’re all aligned in a shared purpose.
Jupiter
2nd House/Aries
Although partnerships tend to foster harmony, joy, and optimism this week, take care not to smother others by offering support that is unnecessary. You may also purchase something new this week that not only bolsters your self-esteem but has the potential to increase your financial security.
Thursday, 5 January 2023
5, Fehu, Albus, 7th Ray, Maiden Moon
A change in circumstances may occur today and you may need to rethink a transaction you’re considering. Be certain that you understand its overall impact and proceed with the clarity you might have been lacking while remembering to maintain your values and principles. Tonight’s Maiden Moon may give you the space to meditate on what you really want.
Venus
1st House/Capricorn; 1st House/Aquarius (1/3)
Your relationships with others are stable and long-lasting, but a conjunct with Pluto suggests that you also seek drama and have high expectations of your partner. That said, sometimes you may also focus on work at the expense of sociability with others. Midweek, when Venus travels into Aquarius, your interactions may take on a more intellectual focus, however, a septile with Juno on Saturday suggests spirituality may play a role in those discussions.
Friday, 6 January 2023
6, Ehwaz, Tristitia, 7th Ray; Full Moon 3:07p at 16°Cn21
Interactions flow well today and you may be in a position to offer guidance or assistance to someone in need. If the individual in question is experiencing profound grief or is stuck in oversensitivity or a negative perception, tonight’s Full Moon in Cancer may allow that situation to come into full clarity. If you can perform a Full Moon ritual with that person, all the better.
Cast a circle or establish sacred space. Draw Ehwaz ᛖ (physically or mentally) on the ground and have both of you stand within its structure. Hold hands with the other person, and raise your arms in supplication to the Goddess, and then draw down Her blessings into your shared awareness. And then sit together within the circle or sacred space and meditate on the clarity you both have received. End the ritual when ready.
Saturn
1st House/Aquarius
Although you typically work well with others, at times, you feel hesitant to express yourself due to feelings of insecurity or a lack of positive self-esteem. It’s important to realize, however, that others notice that you’re a responsible partner who works for the betterment of others, so trust that your suggestions will be well-received.
Saturday, 7 January 2023
7, Inguz, Amissio, 7th Ray; Crone Moon
To allow for a more collaborative experience, you may want to observe before reacting today. There could be more to what’s happening than you realize, and the last thing you want to do is underestimate your own input or that of others.
