Retrograde Planets – Ceres
The Sun
12th House/Aries; Specific influences: 9, Ansuz, Via, Human Design Gate/Line 51.5 Symmetry
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. If you feel like you can’t accomplish much, take time to reflect on how you express yourself this week. You may feel that those in authority are reluctant to support what you have to offer and a more measured approach may be warranted. Toward the end of the week, you may feel emotionally off-balance, and relying on your intuition may help you navigate the situation. On Saturday, clarity may return.
Sunday, 9 March 2023 brings an end to perceptions that no longer serve your best interests. You’ve reevaluated your beliefs from a more altruistic perspective and you now realize that you need to move away from self-imposed limitations.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (7th/Sagittarius 4/9-10; 8th/Sagittarius 4/11; 9th/Capricorn 4/12-13; 10th/Aquarius 4/14-15); Specific Influences: 1, Mannaz, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line 5.4 The Hunter
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, you appreciate a partner who understands your need for independence or adventure. And if you’re triggered by stressful circumstances, your partner may provide much-needed support so that you can explore past woundings, put them into perspective, and embrace their healing message. As the week progresses, you’re drawn to synchronicities that alert you to new experiences. Interactions flow smoothly with others and you express yourself in a creative manner. By the week’s end, you seek recognition for your skills and achievements.
Waiting for the right moment to act on Monday, 10 March 2023, will demonstrate to others that you are a valuable leader. Although you love the spotlight, collaborating with others will bring more achievement than will micromanaging every moment.
Mars
2nd/Cancer; Specific Influences: 11, Uruz, Via, Human Design Gate/Line 52.6 Peacefulness
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Over the week, you continue to make plans regarding a financial nature. You make decisions easily and you inspire creative solutions from others; however, at the beginning of the week, you could become frustrated if others are not in sync with your point of view. And the tension you feel may continue for the remainder of the week.
Remain calm and peaceful on Tuesday, 11 March 2023, and let go of the need to control a particular outcome. Awaken to the truth that you are the one who shapes your experiences and allows a new path to unfold.
Mercury
12th/Taurus; Specific Influences: 3, Fehu, Puella; Human Design Gate/Line 24.5 Confession
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Decisions come easily at the beginning of the week. You adapt well to circumstances and inspire others to do the same. However, as the week progresses, you may become scattered due to a confusing experience, and you may react in an unpredictable manner with a lack of self-control possible.
On Wednesday, 12 March 2023, avoid rationalizing or minimizing any mistakes. Your attention may be a bit scattered and focusing on the details may help you discover something you might have missed. In doing so, you convey to others that it’s more important to get things right instead of insisting that you’re right.
Jupiter
12th House/Aries; Specific Influences: 4, Ansuz, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 42.2 Identification
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Throughout the week, you’re optimistic and you love being the center of attention. However, your higher awareness of overall patterns may signal challenges are ahead, and you willingly convey that truth to others. From there, an honest and forthright discussion may be necessary to meet those challenges.
Although others may be comfortable following along with the crowd and reluctant to embrace change, on Thursday, 13 March 2023 you’re more likely to set your own course. You’re unafraid of hard work and you communicate your goals with eloquence and clarity. But if others are unwilling to tag along, then pursue your own path. You’ll be glad that you did.
Venus
1st/Taurus; 1st Gemini 4/10-15; Specific Influences: 5, Laguz, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 20.5 Realism
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. Throughout the week, you’re easily distracted by others who need your support at the expense of your own needs. This may increase as the week progresses with resentment on your part possible. Clearly, you have some difficulty setting boundaries which may cause some impatience on your part, and because of that, your ability to assert yourself may be compromised.
You may feel as if you’re spinning your wheels on Friday, 14 March 2023, as you focus on details without coming to any conclusions. Stay positive and look for an innovative solution that can help you move forward.
Saturn
11th House/Pisces; Specific Influences: 6, Uruz, Laetitia, Human Design Gate/Line 55.5 Growth
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. You appreciate self-discipline from yourself and others, but as the week progresses, a conflict or confrontation may occur that leaves you feeling uncomfortable and unable to assert your own point of view. And, because of that, you may feel that you can’t accomplish your intended goals. Drop resistance, if possible, and keep your focus on the current task at hand.
On Saturday, 15 March 2023, a collaborative effort that favors a blend of imagination and intuition may arise. You’ve shaped your leadership style in a manner that supports accepting assistance wherever necessary, so be open to gathering input from others for the best outcome.
