The Esoteric Forecast for 8-14 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 (Direct on 1/12), Uranus, Pallas; Mercury
The Sun ~ 12th House/Capricorn
Throughout the week you have a powerful influence on others and you’re successful in a manner that makes you stand out in the crowd. However, at the beginning of the week, you may struggle with understanding or conveying to others an overall picture which may impact your relationship with authority figures. With some careful reflection on your part, you may discover that you don’t always leave room for the opinions of others. Toward the end of the week, your intuition is strong and you may have an opportunity to share your awareness with those around you.

8, Mannaz, Caput Draconis, 1st, 3rd and 7th Rays
Potential is found at the end of one phase and the beginning of another, and today you’re ready to move forward irrespective of the challenges. You’re organized and purposeful, and readily embrace those who support your efforts. You’ve spent the time to make necessary plans and you’re motivated to express your ideas in a clear and concise manner.
The Moon ~ Various signs and houses (7th/Leo 1/8-9, 7th/Virgo 1/10, 8th/Virgo 1/11-12, 8th/Libra 1/13-14)
You love spending time with your partner and want that individual’s complete attention. However, your expectations may be unrealistic which could cause unnecessary stress in your relationship, especially if you have difficulty balancing your own needs with your partner’s. If you can strike a better balance, over the week your interactions should flow more smoothly. If not, then you might seek counseling to understand your inner motivations. You tend to place others on a pedestal and you would benefit from a more realistic perspective.
Monday, 9 January 2023
9, Kenaz, Amissio, 1st, 3rd, and 7th Rays
After some careful analysis, you realize that you’ve gone as far as you can on your own and a situation you’re involved in may benefit from a more collaborative approach. While it may take an adjustment on your part, you’re ready to welcome new ideas that can alleviate some of the struggles you may be experiencing.
Mars ~ Retrograde (ends 1/12/2023), 4th House Gemini
You’re most grounded at home when you can accomplish tasks and share ideas with others. However, sometimes you extend your support and assistance when it’s not needed with others feeling a bit smothered by you. Plus, if you assert your opinions too strongly, others may be less likely to hear your perspective. Your intuition should help in that regard.
Tuesday, 10 January 2023
1, Hagalaz, Fortuna Major, 3rd and 7th Rays
You may struggle with interference from others today which may impact your enthusiasm and timing. However, this is not unexpected and you’ve been preparing for any challenges that arise. Your leadership may be valuable to those who wish to avoid any drama as you sort out which opinions serve a positive outcome and which simply are an exercise of will or ego. In the end, you’ll be the one who brings order to chaos.
Mercury ~ Retrograde (ends 1/18/2023), 12th/Capricorn
At the beginning of the week you desire freedom and independence in your relationships with a close partner, likely motivated by intimacy issues from childhood. However, as the week progresses, you’re aware of messages from both your inner and external realities that can potentially foster a more realistic balance. As you look within to understand your issues with intimacy, realize that your underlying fears may impact both your expectations and decisions.
Wednesday, 11 January 2023
11, Eihwaz, Amissio, 3rd and 7th Rays
As you attempt to overcome irrational behavior and perceptions you may discover that you’ve been selfishly using others during challenging moments in your life. Meditating on today’s Master 11 numerology, along with Eihwaz, the Elder Futhark rune that helps you understand your own as above so below soul experience, may assist you in awakening to a higher perspective, allowing you to let go of behavior that disrespects others.
Jupiter ~ 2nd House/Aries
You may purchase something new this week that not only increases your self-esteem but also has the potential to strengthen your financial security. And, as with last week, issues with a partner or partners may benefit from expanding your reliance on your intuition so that you don’t assume you instinctively understand the needs of others.
Thursday, 12 January 2023
3, Mannaz, Fortuna Major, 3rd and 7th Rays
A complex rune, Mannaz represents the individual within the family or society, and its presence today invokes integration with others, especially if some level of healing has taken place. Perhaps there has been some conflict resulting from irrationality or interference, and irrespective of who is at fault, eventually you have to come back together to reset the table, so to speak. At that point, you can find creative solutions that were once perceived as impossible.
Venus ~ 1st House/Aquarius
You’re a compassionate partner and you express empathy easily; however, there may be some changes on the horizon involving either your interactions with your partner or a shared financial situation that could impact your future. Boundaries may be fragile, so be clear and respect your partner’s opinions and needs.
Friday, 13 January 2023
4, Inguz, Puer, 3rd Ray
Although you have been avoiding a conversation with a partner, your financial security may depend on getting on the same page. There could be some impulse control issues that need to be understood and you’ve been preparing for some pushback that keeps the drama in play. That said, with careful planning and clarity of purpose, you may be able to prevent any manipulation from impacting a positive outcome.
Saturn ~ 1st House/Aquarius
Feelings of insecurity continue to surface this week and you’re unable to convey your point of view. In time, if you persevere and pay attention to how you feel in these moments, you’ll impress others with your determination and resolve.
Saturday, 14 January 2023
5, Othala, Rubeus, 3rd Ray
Change is afoot and you’re ready to stand up for what you believe and need. Your sacred space has been challenged by someone whose selfishness impacts your peace of mind. Loyalties are not what they seem and you would do well to protect what belongs to you.
