The Week Ahead: 12-18 March 2023
The Week Ahead 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 that aligns with the planetary governor for each day, while the daily information is gleaned from each day’s I Ching-based Human Design chart, runes from both the Elder Futhark, geomancy, and numerology. The astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time.
Retrograde Planets – Ceres
The Sun
12th House/Pisces; Specific influences: 3, Ansuz, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 22.6 Maturity
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Throughout the week, your need for self-reflection is replaced by a focus on high-risk behavior and aggressiveness that leaves others questioning your choices. Your creativity is impacted because you can’t sit still long enough for anything to truly gel. As the week progresses, you need to carefully reflect on your interactions with others and whether or not you leave room for their input or opinions.
Although the overall impact of the Sun’s transits this week seems to suggest a lack of impulse control, your eloquent self-expression on Sunday, 12 March 2023 reflects a level of maturity and experience that results in others looking to you for leadership and wisdom.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (8th/Scorpio 3/12; 8th/Sagittarius 3/13; 9th/Sagittarius 3/14; 9th/Capricorn 3/15; 10th/Capricorn 3/16; 11th/Aquarius 3/17-18); Specific Influences: 4, Ehwaz, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 34.5 Annihilation
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. At the beginning of the week, understanding the spiritual or metaphysical side of life draws you to new areas of study and possibly travel. Others are drawn to your compassionate and intuitive nature, and this may be a time when you can share insights with those who need your support. Midweek, however, you may seek recognition or a leadership position in your career that can improve your financial security. If this involves collaboration with others, at the end of the week, you may be uncomfortable with or distrust partners whose emotions are unstable or unpredictable, and you may want to keep any conversations you have on a more intellectual level.
On Monday, 13 March 2023, a patient approach may eliminate any resistance you might experience from others so that you can continue collaborating in a shared manner. Your positive energy, imagination, and creativity will help strengthen bonds and improve integration with others.
Mars
3rd House/Gemini; Specific Influences: 5, Berkano, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 12.3 Confession
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Throughout the week you appear to be risk-oriented and aggressive in your response to others. It would be best if you found a way to pull that energy back so that you assert yourself in a manner that preserves respect for others while avoiding decisions that are impulsive or unrealistic. On Saturday, a disciplined approach will be required to deal with unexpected challenges and successfully move forward with a new opportunity.
Self-analysis is favored on Tuesday, 14 March 2023 as you try to assess how to control your impulses better, especially when seeking or accepting assistance from others. The outcome you seek may happen in a progressive manner, and you may need to let go of your need to control in order that true progress can be made.
Mercury
12th/Pisces; Specific Influences: 6, Othala, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 36.1 Resistance
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Although your interactions flow smoothly for the most part throughout the week, you need to leave room for the opinions of others. Midweek, an emotional reaction on your part may convey to others a lack of self-control, and you need to consider how that impacts your message. Taking some time for yourself to regroup may be valuable so that you can contribute your own views more effectively.
Persevere against opposition on Wednesday, 15 March 2023, by emphasizing the value of a shared experience. Avoid any pretense or superficiality with others so that you demonstrate a commitment to the task or objective at hand.
Jupiter
1st House/Aries; Specific Influences: 7, Laguz, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line 51.1 The Immigrant
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. As you pursue your goals over the week, you may need to reevaluate your approach so that you deal more directly with the challenges you face. You’re motivated to search for new experiences but you need to trust your inner voice to help you gain an overall understanding and to avoid any choices that reflect self-indulgence. Toward the end of the week, others value your experience and knowledge pertaining to a particular situation.
On Thursday, 16 March 2023, you need to explore how your values either benefit or restrict you from expanding your potential. Are you expressing your values in a balanced manner, or are you using your values to judge or micromanage others? Your success involves the ability to work in harmony with others and letting go of ego-based judgments will keep you on the right track.
Venus
1st/Aries; 1st/Taurus 3/16; Specific Influences: 8, Dagaz, Tristitia, Human Design Gate/Line 27.1 Selfishness
Venus, the planet of attraction, happiness, harmony, and beauty, reflects the feminine aspect within and how an individual loves and expresses intimacy as well as self-worth. A conjunct between Venus and Juno over the week suggests that you express your love and commitment to a partner in a passionate manner; however, while Venus is still in Aries, you tend to be the dominant partner. When Venus leaves Aries and enters Taurus on Thursday, however, you begin to take a more measured approach to the relationship with issues of emotional security becoming important. And on Friday, you may find expressing your feelings to a partner to be challenging.
If you want approval or acknowledgment on Friday, 17 March 2023, you cannot achieve that by placing yourself before others. Holding onto grudges or condemning others will never result in new opportunities or a position of leadership. Ultimately, you must let go of any past hurt or perceived slights so that you can move forward.
Saturn
12th House/Pisces; Specific Influences: 8, Wunjo, Via, Human Design Gate/Line 55.2 Distrust
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. And over the week, you may benefit from exploring the insecurity you feel in your relationships with others. Boundaries continue to be an issue, and you may seek comfort or support from someone who is unable to provide that for you, leaving you feeling somewhat isolated. On a less personal front, you may have difficulty focusing on routine tasks until midweek when you begin to approach tasks in a more disciplined manner. That said, you could also feel that you’re shouldering more responsibility than is necessary.
On Saturday, 18 March 2023, you may feel your ideals are undermined by someone and you have difficulty trusting that person to behave in a manner that preserves harmony or integrity. It could be that the individual is stuck in his or her own perceptions and cannot interact in a way that respects boundaries. If nothing can be resolved and you feel that honesty is impossible, you may need to consider moving forward on a different path.
