Retrograde Planets – Mercury, Ceres
The Sun
12th House/Taurus
Specific influences: 5, Sowilo, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 27.2 Self-Sufficiency
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. You have a strong need for security and reliability over the week, and you may prefer a more solitary focus. However, a new acquaintance may provide assistance with interactions that are intense and unpredictable, and you may be inclined to come out of the solitary space you’ve created for yourself and work collaboratively with others.
Although you prefer a self-sufficient approach, on Sunday, 23 April 2023, you acknowledge that reaching out to others might increase your own awareness and self-confidence. Change can be a good thing and it doesn’t mean you’re sacrificing your independence on behalf of the will of others.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (1st/Gemini 4/23-24; 2nd/Cancer 4/25-26; 3rd/Leo 4/27-28; 4th/Leo 4/29)
Specific Influences: 6, Uruz, Carcer, Human Design Gate/Line 12.6 Metamorphosis
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 enjoy sharing new ideas with others. They respond to your warm personality and the compassion you demonstrate. As the week progresses, your inner resources may be impacted by a stressful circumstance, and any self-indulgence on your part will only exacerbate the situation. Toward the end of the week, your mood lightens and you’re the center of attention with your friends and family. If you continue to feel off-balance, trust your intuition to guide your responses. It could be that someone else is feeling the same and sharing your insights could help both of you to process what you’re experiencing.
Avoid isolating yourself on Monday, 24 April 2023, and have faith that a new perspective will foster some inner transformation. Let go of outmoded ideas or attitudes, and reach out to others for guidance and strength.
Mars
2nd/Cancer
Specific Influences: 7, Wunjo, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 53.2 Momentum
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Over the week, something significant may influence your perceptions enabling you to initiate new ideas and choices. You continue to make decisions easily and adapt well to challenges. At the end of the week, you seek relationships with individuals who are unique and think outside the box.
Manipulative efforts by someone on Tuesday, 25 April 2023 may offer you the opportunity to build momentum for your own ideas. As others observe the injustice of the situation, they’ll be happy to pursue a more peaceful and harmonious path.
Mercury
12th/Taurus
Specific Influences: 8, Kenaz, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 2.2 Genius
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. While Mercury is in Taurus you prefer a more structured or pragmatic approach to challenges that arise this week. Decisions should be made in a measured fashion, especially now that Mercury is retrograde. Toward the end of the week, your emotions may be in flux and your interactions with others may reflect a lack of self-control.
Your natural awareness and intrinsic timing will be a valuable resource on Wednesday, 26 April 2023, giving you the clarity you need to reveal who may be undermining you or your progress. Although it could be that miscommunication is the reason, it may be that another agenda is in play.
Jupiter
12th House/Aries; 11th/Aries 4/27
Specific Influences: 8, Raidho, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 42.6 Nurturing
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. On Monday, you feel a strong emotional pull to something or someone that impacts you in a profound manner, possibly involving expressions of higher truth or the pursuit of new ideas. As the week progresses, although you attract others with your positive attitude, acting in a self-indulgent manner could compromise trust. Avoid becoming stuck in a particular mindset at the end of the week.
A new collaborative effort may form on Thursday, 27 April 2023, as you welcome the ideas and perspectives of others. This may be an experience where the collaboration itself, and the partnership that develops, may become more important than any goals that you set.
Venus
1st/Gemini
Specific Influences: 1, Jera, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 45.4 Direction
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. Gemini’s influence on Venus during the week suggests that others are attracted to your willingness to share ideas. You love having conversations about spirituality and spending time with close friends. You’re a compassionate partner and you easily express empathy and compassion. And you assert yourself in a conscious manner that avoids insensitivity and impulsivity.
A destructive situation may be coming to its end on Friday, 28 April 2023, that involved someone who was influencing others for personal gain. This misuse of leadership will have consequences, but in another sense, it can transform your perceptions so that you’re more aware of the nefarious intentions of others.
Saturn
10th House/Pisces
Specific Influences: 11, Fehu, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 55.6 Selfishness
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. While Saturn is in Pisces and the 10th House, you continue to be concerned about how others in your career regard your worth. You present yourself as someone who takes a self-disciplined approach toward achieving your goals; however, your risk-averse manner may be challenging to co-workers who are interested in trying out new ideas. At the end of the week, you may feel emotionally stuck in perceptions that impact collaborating with others.
Let go of attitudes that prevent you from collaborating with others on Saturday, 29 April 2023. With today’s Master 11 numerology, it’s possible to awaken to ideas that can truly benefit others and foster shared success.
