The Esoteric Forecast for 19-25 February 2023
The Esoteric Forecast is a comprehensive look at both the weekly planetary information as well as the daily forecast.

The astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time.
Retrograde Planets – Ceres
The Sun
12th House/Pisces; Specific influences: 1, Thurisaz, Tristitia, Human Design Gate/Line 55.1 Cooperation; New Moon 11:06p
Overall, you have a calm and imaginative demeanor and you prefer a solitary or meditative focus that allows plenty of time for self-reflection. You respect individual differences and understand that you need to take care of your own needs before you’re able to assist others. And you readily accept responsibility for your choices and approach your goals in a diligent fashion. Toward the end of the week, it’s clear that you need to let go of any self-imposed restrictions so that you can fully express who you are and what you need whether it involves your personal or professional life.
You may have been feeling sad or defensive of late and you feel like retreating to a more comfortable space. Although you may be tempted to go it alone, on Sunday, 19 February 2023, you’ll gain more by cooperating with others, especially those with more experience. And the feeling of camaraderie that results may help you achieve a new perspective. Take time for reflection during tonight’s New Moon in Pisces and set your intentions for the coming lunar month.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (12th/Aquarius 2/19; 12th/Pisces 2/20-21; 1st/Aries 2/22-23; 1st/Taurus 2/24; 2nd/Taurus 2/25); Specific Influences: 2, Inguz, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 37.2 Responsibility
At the beginning of the week, you’d rather spend time alone to avoid emotions that are too complex or too difficult to understand. As the week progresses, unexpected changes could arise where you need to not only remain adaptable but advocate on your own behalf so that your stability and security are preserved. Avoiding overindulgence is recommended as well.
With the New Moon occurring late on Sunday night, you continue to reflect on perceptions that need some reevaluation, especially if a narrow or egoic perspective is impacting your self-confidence or how others see you. Listening to your inner voice can set you on the right course. Midweek, you may still feel like retreating to understand how your fundamental values are influencing your direction in life, and you may benefit from including a self-care ritual that enhances your physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being.
On Monday, 20 February 2023, you feel responsible for others and you’re grounded by the harmony you experience. You intuitively know the right direction to take and which shared opportunity provides the greatest potential for success. And the friendships that have grown out of this experience will sustain you in your life.
Mars
3rd House/Gemini; Specific Influences: 3, Berkano, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 35.6 Rectification
Over the week, you are assertive, motivated, and self-confident. You rise to challenges and make the most of new opportunities. However, although you enjoy a good discussion and you assert ideas in a clear manner, the manner in which you do that may not always be well-received by others, particularly if you are intolerant of what they have to offer. Remember that a little self-control and respect for the opinions of others will be better than trying to control the narrative.
A focus on details on Tuesday, 21 February 2023 may result in a shift in perception or action that promises new growth or a new direction. Ask for assistance from a mentor with more experience and take a measured approach so that progress made comes to a positive conclusion.
Mercury
11th/Aquarius 2/19; 12th/Aquarius 2/20/25; Specific Influences: 22, Algiz, Carcer, Human Design Gate/Line 13.4 Fatigue
Although there may be moments throughout the week where you have difficulty organizing and conveying your thoughts, in general, you interact well with others. Toward the end of the week, however, making a commitment may prove challenging. If so, maybe it’s best to keep the conversation light, express empathy where it’s needed, and listen with an open mind and heart to the experiences of others while offering solutions that make a real impact.
On Wednesday, 22 February 2023, you may feel too exhausted to meet the challenges before you, but if you persevere, today’s Master 22 numerology may give you the energy to succeed. It could be that you’re getting in the way of your own success and a different perspective can enable a new direction. Stand with your arms high in supplication to the Creative Source as you invoke and emulate the shape of today’s rune Algiz ᛉ from the Elder Futhark to open a channel from Higher Self to help you let go of any outmoded beliefs or attitude that may be holding you back.
Jupiter
1st House/Aries; Specific Influences: 5, Perthro, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 21.2 Might is Right
You’re motivated to break free and express yourself in an individual manner, however understanding overall patterns may be challenging. Opportunities abound, but you need to trust your inner voice to maximize your goals. Attend to your own needs, be generous to others, and the rest will fall into place.
You may experience some restrictions on Thursday, 23 February 2023, and be reluctant to follow along with the crowd. Today’s rune, Perthro, reinforces the idea of controlling one’s own fate and you may need to make a decision where you turn away from any interference by someone who doesn’t have your best interests at heart.
Venus
1st House/Pisces 2/19; 1st/Aries 2/20-25; Specific Influences: 6, Gebo, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line 17.2 Discrimination
Your strong personality and independent nature drive you to initiate relationships so that you’re able to define your role or control your participation. Early in the week, however, an unexpected situation may arise that challenges a relationship with a partner. You or your partner may struggle with supporting the other’s needs which may impact the expectations you have of each other. It may be that an imbalance of some kind has developed and with close examination, you should be able to resolve the concerns that you both have.
Discrimination and balance are key on Friday, 24 February 2023 as you align with collectively shared values. And the reciprocity you share is a welcome change from the challenges you’ve been experiencing thus far. Be careful, however, to avoid micromanaging the situation so that you respect what others have to offer.
Saturn
12th House/Aquarius; Specific Influences: 7, Ehwaz, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 30.5 Irony
You may still be experiencing health issues that impact pursuing your goals and a new direction may be necessary to continue making progress. There could be something that you’re not seeing and it may take thinking outside the box to arrive at a solution. Although you’re uncomfortable with the unknown, it can offer a new direction forward.
Although you may want to control the narrative, you realize that the intuitive bond you share with others on Saturday, 25 February 2023 is more important than conflict over who is right or wrong. Allow the situation to settle before making a decision and move forward together in harmony and joy.
