Retrograde Planets – Ceres
The Sun
12th House/Pisces;
Specific influences: 8, Algiz, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line is 37.3
You tend to have a solitary focus, and over the week you need to let go of any self-imposed restrictions so that you can fully express who you are and what you need both personally or professionally. Your ability to recognize patterns may help you understand how those self-imposed restrictions have kept you from participating fully in your life. At the end of the week, however, your mood may intensify and impact your interactions with others in unexpected ways. A new exercise routine may be beneficial.
On Sunday, 26 February 2023, an evenhanded approach that avoids micromanaging others is necessary to preserve a successful outcome. To satisfy your own need for approval, your own inner motives may reinforce a need for perfection that is unrealistic to achieve and may compromise your leadership of others.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (2nd/Gemini 2/26-27; 3rd/Gemini 2/28; 4th/Cancer 3/1-2; 5th/Leo 3/3-4); Specific Influences: 9, Raidho, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 35.2
The Moon travels through Gemini, Cancer, and Leo this week impacting the interactions you have with others. In Gemini, a need for intellectual stimulation leads you to question everything including your finances or resources.
Mid-week, when The Moon enters the sign of Cancer and the 4th House, you may feel like retreating to your own personal space to find renewal and to feel secure. If decisions are required, pay close attention to your intuition during that time because it can tell you if you’re on the right path.
When the Moon enters Leo on Friday, you may enjoy time spent with friends and family. And if others are in need of your support, your own past experiences may provide valuable insight and help them put their own issues into a better perspective.
Your normal level of inspiration may be fleeting on Monday, 27 February 2023, and you may feel your creativity is blocked in some way. It may be that personal concerns are impacting your imaginative side and you’re finding it difficult to integrate with your own process. Energy cycles up and down and you could be on the downside of that wave. Give yourself time to rest and regroup and you may feel better tomorrow.
Mars
3rd House/Gemini; Specific Influences: 1, Hagalaz, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 45.3
If you’ve been experiencing issues with self-assertion over the past few weeks, it may be that unhealthy choices are undermining your ability to express yourself in a manner that respects the views of others. Are you getting enough rest or is your diet compromised? Or do you feel overwhelmed by what’s happening in your life right now? If the answer is yes to any of those possibilities, then reassessing your physical health may be in order. At the end of the week, your energy increases and you feel ready to begin a new chapter.
Take care on Tuesday, 28 February 2023 to avoid becoming part of a group at the expense of your own individuality. This is a day where your own unique approach may be of value to others so don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd to shake things up a bit. You could be entering a new phase of life and, if so, reestablishing your boundaries may help you move forward onto a new path.
Mercury
12th/Aquarius 2/26-28; 12th/Pisces 3/3-4; Specific Influences: 1, Kenaz, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 30.4
While Mercury is still in Aquarius this week, you may find maintaining a routine or keeping a commitment challenging if you’re distracted by external influences. When Mercury travels into Pisces on Friday, you may struggle to understand your own perceptions and may be prone to a lack of discernment.
Although you are usually detail-oriented and work collaboratively with others, on Wednesday, 1 March 2023, you may experience some burnout from over-committing yourself and you may need some downtime to regroup. Others who may be experiencing the same will benefit from your leadership and your positive example.
Jupiter
1st/Aries 2/26-28; 12th /Aries 3/1-4; Specific Influences: 2, Thurisaz, Via, Human Design Gate/Line 21.3
Throughout the week, Jupiter in Aries suggests an expansion of optimism, self-confidence, and motivation. You pursue new opportunities and goals and others regard you as someone who seeks higher wisdom and knowledge. You understand overall patterns and apply that understanding to challenges that arise; however, you will also benefit from listening to your inner voice.
Collaboration with others on Thursday, 2 March 2023 may be the key to working through challenges or opposition. A new path is possible, but you need to be willing to let go of an emotional or impulsive reaction that prevents you from seeing the truth.
Venus
1st/Aries 2/26-27; 12th/Aries. 2/28-3/4; Specific Influences: 3, Tiwaz, Caput Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 21.5
You’re charming and your genuine warmth attracts others, however, you may also have difficulty over the week discerning the suitability of a prospective partner. You may be unable to sense when control issues have arisen and are less able to make choices that protect your needs. Toward the end of the week, setting realistic boundaries may be challenging if you fear rejection.
On Friday, 3 March 2023, you may need to assert yourself in a dispassionate or objective manner so that realistic boundaries are set with a new partner. Pay close attention to patterns that can provide insight into how much faith you can have in that person. You could be on the verge of making a decision that will impact your life in a profound manner, so you need to be sure that you’re making the right choice.
Saturn
12th House/Aquarius; Specific Influences: 4, Mannaz, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 30.6
Over the week you need to balance rigid beliefs with listening to your instincts. You’re uncomfortable with the unknown but keeping an open mind can help you discern the truth. Toward the end of the week, you may be shouldering more responsibility than necessary and you could have difficulty conveying your concerns to others.
You may make a course correction on Saturday, 4 March 2023, and take a more pragmatic approach to a problem. You’ve been overly absorbed lately and there may be a way to delegate some of your responsibilities to others. Remain patient and allow for other perspectives that could bring new solutions.
