Esoteric Forecast for 29 January to 4 February 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 an ego standpoint, 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 – Pallas, Ceres (2/4/2023)
The Sun ~ 12th/Aquarius
Your confidence motivates you to achieve goals and you seek out a leadership role with others. However, changes may be necessary for further achievement and opportunities may arise to assist you on that path. If your need for control is not kept in perspective, it may be that further reflection is needed before you express your intention to others in authority.
Sunday, 29 January 2023 ~ 11, Perthro, Puella, 4th Ray
If you adopt a service-to-others approach you’ll in turn set a positive example for others. Otherwise, the ego’s perspective can take control, and then your experiences become reactive and your focus scattered instead of acting from a greater overall understanding. And it reflects the general balancing or mediating effect you typically have on others, whether energetically or in the way you approach problem-solving.
The Moon ~ Various signs and houses (3rd/Taurus 1/29, 3rd Gemini 1/30, 4th/Gemini 1/31-2/1, 5th Cancer 2/2-3, 6th Leo 2/4)
At the beginning of the week, you love interacting with others and draw from information others find interesting. You also desire stability and you’re uncomfortable when that stability is threatened. Toward the end of the week, you may feel like retreating to the home front, especially if health issues arise.
Transits
A square with Venus suggests that partnership issues may arise and you may feel uncomfortable expressing your feelings. You don’t make decisions easily and may benefit from focusing more on your emotional awareness to guide your thoughts and perspective. As the week progresses, it may be best to step back to gather more information so that you assess the issue with more objectivity. A trine with the South Node of the Moon suggests that your feelings will tell you if you’re on the right path or if it’s time to make a different choice. That said, an opposition with Mercury toward the end of the week suggests that you give some thought to how you come across to your partner, and if you need more time to consider your words, you might wait for a better moment to continue the conversation.
Monday, 30 January 2023 ~ 3, Dagaz, Puella, 5th Ray
You express yourself in a way that influences others to find their own solutions. And with the impact of Dagaz today, it may feel like all doors are open and all options are available. In fact, there may be so many options that your focus becomes scattered as you try to sort through them all. So, take one thing at a time so that you come to the best decision.
Mars ~ 4th House Gemini; 3rd/Gemini (2/1-4)
Asserting your ideas may continue to backfire with a partner this week, particularly if you do so in a pushy or intense manner. You’ve established the need to respect each other’s boundaries and opinions so asserting your views without allowing your partner to express his/her own likely won’t sit well. A semisquare with Lilith reinforces this by suggesting that you understand all sides of a situation before reacting in an impulsive manner.
Tuesday, 31 January 2023 ~ 4, Algiz, Conjunctio, 5th Ray
A situation may arise today where you need objectivity to determine who is telling the truth and who is being deceptive. And while it may take some patience on your part, and quite possibly going within to seek a higher counsel, doing so will help you come to a better agreement with others. This is not the time to let ego drive the moment but to transmute that energy into a higher vibrational perspective.
Mercury ~ 11th/Capricorn
You enjoy the give and take that working with others provides, and you express yourself with authority. However, your independent streak may be at odds with a collaborative experience, especially with a close partner who may not appreciate feeling left out or left behind. It’s likely that a heartfelt conversation needs to happen so that you don’t compromise the relationship.
Wednesday, 1 February 2023 ~ 1, Thurisaz, Laetitia
Use back channels to address an issue today if no other options are available. Both Thurisaz and today’s one numerology suggest new beginnings are possible, but it may take some effort behind the scenes to enable a situation to move forward. In the end, a positive outcome is likely if you keep your mind open to new ideas and possibilities.
Jupiter ~ 1st House/Aries
You’re motivated over the week to achieve your intended goals and you approach those goals with optimism and self-confidence. That said, a collaborative endeavor may have run its course and you may need to reassess your involvement. But rather than approaching the situation directly, an indirect response may be warranted.
Thursday, 2 February 2023 ~ 2, Tiwaz, Albus, 5th
Stay true to the commitments you’ve made with the understanding that the best option available may not always be the most interesting. Although you’re open to the opinions of others, be realistic in your expectations and express your needs clearly. This is a time for accuracy and precision.
Venus ~ 1st House/Pisces
You’re drawn to calm and harmonious interactions and you love sharing your experiences this week with a close partner. However, your life may be taking on a new direction that focuses either on finances or a shift in your relationship. If passions run high, you’ll benefit from exercising some self-restraint until all facts are known.
Friday, 3 February 2023 ~ 3, Ansuz, Caput Draconis, 5th Ray
You lead by example and a higher principle guides your choices. You communicate your intentions with both eloquence and clarity, and you’re on the threshold of a new opportunity taking form. Stay focused on the details and carefully analyze their overall impact to be sure of the best direction to take.
Saturn ~ 1st House/Aquarius, 12th/Aquarius (2/4)
Your own insecurity may have been impacting your interactions with others for the past few weeks. However, if there is more going on than you’ve been told, that may be the reason for your insecurity. Stay vigilant because at the end of the week you may uncover what’s been hidden.
Saturday, 4 February 2023 ~ 4, Isa, Albus, 5th
Your pragmatic approach to a project will serve you and others well today, especially if you remain patient and focused. Others look to you for advice and your experience can provide much-needed guidance so that the project remains on track. With some hard work and a positive attitude, the collaborative effort should be enjoyable.
