The Sun

12th House/Virgo

Sunday influences: 1, Kenaz, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line 47.1 Taking Stock; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr

The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Over the week, you’re organized and optimistic for the future. Although your unique approach attracts others, you’re not interested in a leadership role, instead preferring one that collaborates equally with others. Although there’s certainly nothing wrong with not wanting to be in charge, this choice may reflect a lack of self-confidence on your part because you fear the reactions of others, or it could indicate issues with authority stemming from childhood. Toward the end of the week, your perspective may become narrow, giving others cause for concern.

If a collaborative effort is to take hold on Sunday, 10 September 2023, it may be up to you to convey that negativity will only lead to marginalizing the viewpoints of others. This is a time for both wisdom and inclusion so that you maximize your shared potential.

The Moon

Various signs and houses (10th/Cancer 9/10, 11th/Leo 9/11-12, 11th/Virgo 9/13, 12th/Virgo 9/14-15; 1st/Libra 9/16)

Monday Influences: 11, Gebo, Tristitia, Human Design Gate/Line 33.4 Dignity; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic

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, relationships at work may be challenging, especially if all concerned cannot seem to keep their emotions in check, and a new strategy may be needed to achieve a positive outcome. You love sharing your time with others, but at times, they (or you) can seem unreliable or erratic. As the week progresses, you may experience a stressful situation where you need friends to rely on, and they’re not within reach, leaving you to feel somewhat abandoned. Toward the end of the week, it’s clear that you need some time on your own to reevaluate your goals and assess potential solutions.

Dignity can be preserved by retreating from the battle on Monday, 11 September 2023, and allowing higher awareness to inform your perspective. This is a day for letting go of any grudges and finding inner balance so that you express the same to others.

Mars

1st House/Libra

Tuesday’s Influences: 3, Nauthiz, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 48.1 Insignificance; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic

Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Over the week, while being direct and self-assured when interacting with others, you also try to balance self-assertion with a more even-handed response. Mid-week, however, your interactions could become volatile and you’ll do best by avoiding a prima-donna-like attitude. At the end of the week, you may become insensitive and impulsive around others and lose their respect.

If you stay on task on Tuesday, 12 September 2023 you’ll know what deserves your immediate attention and what can wait until a later time. Your goals are important but so is the process, and if changes are necessary, then make them in an informed manner.

Mercury

12th/Virgo (9/10-12); 11th/Virgo (9/13-16); Retrograde (ends 9/15)

Wednesday’s Influences: 4, Sowilo, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 40.3 Humility; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic

Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Although Mercury retrograde is coming to an end on the 15th, self-expression may continue to be challenging over the week. And, although you enjoy collaborating with others, pressing your views or becoming critical of others will only exacerbate the situation. At the end of the week, you may benefit from relying on your instincts when making an important decision.

Although self-confidence is generally a positive trait to have, a more subtle approach that involves patience and humility will help you avoid conflict on Wednesday, 13 September 2023. Rely on inner wisdom and higher awareness to inform your interactions with others.

Jupiter

8th/Taurus; Retrograde 9/4 

Thursday’s Influences: 5, Inguz, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 2.3 Patience; Moon Phase: Waning, New at 6:40p at 21°Vi58

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Although this is a positive time where your future is bright, partnership issues may arise and a shared solution may be impacted by self-indulgence or a lack of commitment on your part. You could be so focused on your own perspective that you’re unable to leave room for the views of your partner or admit that you’re wrong. With today’s New Moon, consider setting an intention to listen more to the needs of your partner and to view the situation between the two of you in a more pragmatic way.

Although you may hesitate to engage with a partner on Thursday, 14 September 2023, if you keep your mind and heart open, the potential is there to let go of any insecurities that have been impacting your relationship. Having patience (especially with yourself) can open the door to a more positive experience.

Venus

11th/Leo

Friday’s Influences: 6, Perthro, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 7.2 The Democrat; Moon Phase: Waxing, New

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. Over the week, a situation between you and a partner may arise that you may find difficult to understand. Your intuition tells you that there is more to the situation than has been revealed, however, your partner may not be ready to share his or her true feelings at this time. It could be that frustration has been building for some time due to your focus on work at the expense of the relationship. If so, consider scheduling some additional time to spend together.

A chance at a new leadership role may come your way on Friday, 15 September 2023, due to a misuse of power by someone else. If so, this may be your opportunity to become a leader who is there to assist and guide others instead of one whose ego is in charge.

Saturn 

5th House/Pisces; Retrograde 

Saturday’s Influences: 7, Berkano, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 55.3 Nostalgia; Moon Phase: Waxing, New

The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. During the first half of the week, you reevaluate your interactions with others so that you can let go of harmful patterns that could have a negative impact on career advancement. Self-esteem issues may have led to feeling unsupported and setting appropriate boundaries may be challenging. If delays or obstacles arise on Saturday, you may need a new strategy to sort things out.

In spite of your best efforts on Saturday, 16 September 2023, making progress on a new project may be fleeting. If so, take a step back to assess the overall issue or obstacle and collaborate with others if necessary.
