Retrograde Planets – Saturn, Pluto
The Sun
12th House/Cancer
Specific influences: 3, Raidho, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 15.6 Self-defense
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Over the week, if your energy is off, take time to rest and recoup so that you can return to your normal self-disciplined and organized routine. Let go of any self-imposed restrictions and rely on your intuition to understand the bigger picture. Carefully reflect on your interactions with others and whether or not you respect their input. If you don’t, then a more moderate approach is warranted. Toward the end of the week, if your motivation is less, you may ignore a new opportunity that could increase your happiness.
You may need to reevaluate a decision you’ve made on Sunday, 25 June 2023, so that you’re clear about the situation as well as the process you’ll take to achieve your objectives. If a change is necessary, it may involve the addition of a partner, or a complete reworking of the process itself.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (3rd/Virgo 6/25; 3rd/Libra 6/26; 4th/Libra 6/27; 4th/Scorpio 6/28-29; 4th/Sagittarius 6/30; 5th/Sagittarius 7/1)
Specific Influences: 8, Fehu, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 18.5 Therapy
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. On Sunday, unrealistic expectations of others can lead to an overly-critical response. As the week progresses, although you prefer harmony to conflict, you may overreact to unexpected changes taking place at home. It’s possible that issues from childhood leave you unsettled when your routine is interrupted. If so, it may be valuable to reexamine those feelings so that you can face the unknown in a more realistic manner. Toward the end of the week, you may trust someone who has an unknown agenda motivating you to take a new direction that is more emotionally satisfying.
A leader knows when to acknowledge that she lacks the experience necessary for a successful outcome. And on Monday, 26 June 2023, you may seek advice from someone with a greater level of experience who can assist you in achieving your goals.
Mars
1st House/Leo
Specific Influences: 9, Tiwaz, Trisitita, Human Design Gate/Line 4.4 The Liar
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Throughout the week, although your courage and ingenuity inspire others to achieve their goals, your own impulsivity may impact you from achieving your own. You may struggle against the tides during this period, and a collaborative effort with others may support you in staying the course. At the end of the week, expressing your needs or perspective may be challenging.
Guard against becoming secretive with others on Tuesday, 27 June 2023 lest you sacrifice your integrity for a personal agenda. Dishonesty will ultimately derail your plans and may bring to an end a significant partnership.
Mercury
11th/Gemini 6/25-27; 11th/Cancer 6/17-29, 12th/Cancer 6/30-7/1
Specific Influences: 1, Berkano, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 15.6 Self Defense
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Friends play an important role in your life and you love sharing new information with people who understand you. That said, at the beginning of the week, your empathic awareness is so strong that you may have trouble discerning whose emotions you’re experiencing. If so, step back to a comfortable space where you can visualize any energetic connections that may have formed dissolving. From there, draw back what’s left of your own energy and begin anew. As the week progresses, interactions with others may become complex and you may be less willing to listen to opposing views. However, your intuition is strong during this period and it can be relied upon to understand the greater picture. At the end of the week, you’re drawn to philosophical issues which you’re eager to share with others.
As one project comes to an end, the door opens for a new opportunity on Wednesday, 28 June 2023. This can be a healing time where tremendous inner growth is possible, so take a risk and set a new course.
Jupiter
10th House/Taurus
Specific Influences: 11, Jera, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 24.2 Recognition
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and it influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. You enjoy a leadership role with others; however, your emotions may be in flux during the week and you may benefit from taking time away from your usual routine. You may also need to avoid any overreactions or self-indulgence that could prevent you from pursuing new opportunities that arise. At the end of the week, your emotions settle and you’re able to make decisions in a clear manner.
As you awaken to a new understanding on Thursday, 29 June 2023, you’re better able to see that give and take is essential for others to recognize your achievements. Otherwise, you are perceived as agenda-driven and unable to collaborate with others.
Venus
1st/Leo
Specific Influences: 3, Mannaz, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 4.2 Acceptance
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. At the beginning of the week, self-esteem issues may impact your relationships with co-workers as well as feeling emotionally fulfilled in your job, and you may consider pursuing a new path. That said, some of this may surround expectations of others that are unrealistic, so before you make any final decisions, some soul-searching may be in order.
You may encounter someone on Friday, 30 June 2023 who resents you for your success and may attempt to discredit you in some way. However, you know who you are and what it’s taken to get where you are, so remain optimistic and stay focused on your goals.
Saturn
8th/Pisces
Specific Influences: 1, Gebo, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 37.2 Responsibility
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Over the week, you need to balance self-discipline with taking a few emotional risks, whether in your personal or professional life. If, for example, you have difficulty relating to close partners, you may unnecessarily isolate yourself. Toward the end of the week, you begin to reevaluate how you interact with others with the goal of letting go of any harmful patterns. Carefully assess your strengths and weaknesses, and resolve to embrace change.
A difficult period may be coming to an end on Saturday, 1 June 2023, and you’re ready to collaborate with others. You’ve taken responsibility for your part in the struggle and you’re happy to begin a new direction.
