Retrograde Planets – Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron, Vesta
The Sun
12th/Scorpio
Sunday influences: 5, Isa, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 44.6 Aloofness; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Quarter 1:36a 12°Le39
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. You reflect over the week about the level of intimacy you require from others and the drama you cause when they don’t live up to your expectations. You’re motivated to pursue your goals this week and your creativity can bring success; however, you may feel unsupported by a close partner or a parent figure and your self-confidence suffers. Step back and observe before acting on impulse.
Sunday, 5 November 2023
Aloofness on your part today can be mistaken for superiority and impact any collaboration you have with others. It could be that you’re struggling with a lack of autonomy and it may take some focus to stay aligned in a shared purpose. A simple candle working may be helpful in which you scribe today’s rune Isa ᛁ with a thorn (ex: rose, hawthorn) onto the side of a 4-inch candle (if using a tea light candle, scribe the rune on top) and after lighting the candle, gaze into its flame and softly chant (or whisper) Isa. Visualize the collaborative group as a ball of auric energy and see yourself aligning your own auric presence with that of the group. When you feel that the process is complete, return to present moment awareness and extinguish the flame.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (9th/Leo 11/5-6; 9th/Virgo 11/7; 10th/Virgo 11/8; 10th/Libra 11/9; 11th/Libra 11/10-11)
Monday Influences: 6, Wunjo, Acquisitio, Human Design Gate/Line 29.4 Directness; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Quarter
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 may pursue activities that allow your imagination to thrive. This may also be a good time to explore any insecurities you might be experiencing and put them into a more realistic perspective, particularly if feelings of abandonment are part of the equation. Although you attract others with your positive, adventurous personality, there could be a moment where your unorthodox manner may lead to a hypercritical attitude on your part. Mid-week, issues at work leave you wanting a more harmonious environment. And if that continues through the end of the week, a new solution may be in order.
Monday, 6 November 2023
A direct approach to challenges balanced with empathy or compassion will bring more success than an attitude that is more agenda-driven. If a conversation seems appropriate, choose an area where you can burn some copal or frankincense resin in a small cauldron and then drop in a pinch of dried mugwort or hyssop. Do this prior to the person(s) arrival. This will cleanse and open the area to finding harmony. Add a few pieces of moonstone and/or selenite to wherever the conversation will take place to aid calm, peace, and clarity. And when the conversation takes place, make sure all voices are heard and focus on a positive outcome.
Mars
12th House/Scorpio
Tuesday’s Influences: 7, Eihwaz, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 1/6 Objectivity; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Quarter
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. You’re typically passionate and intense, but during the week, you may feel hesitant to express your personal power or feel a lack of direction. Your balance may be off and overreaction is possible, or you may choose not to assert yourself or respect the opinions of others when needed. Step back to reassess things from a different perspective and release any self-imposed restrictions or burdens you might feel.
Tuesday, 7 November 2023
You search for meaning and clarity as you go within to access higher awareness. Whether you perform a trance working or a simple meditation, understanding your connection with Spirit is key to staying in control. Spirit flows within and without irrespective of the challenges ego presents. And it’s up to you today to know the difference.
Mercury
12th House/Scorpio 11/5-7; 1st House/Scorpio 11/7-9; 1st House/Sagittarius 11/9-11
Wednesday’s Influences: 18, Kenaz, Puella, Human Design Gate/Line 24.4 The Hermit; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Quarter
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. At the beginning of the week, you want to understand the underlying truth of your experiences, but sometimes you have difficulty with your own perceptions. As the week progresses, your imagination drives your inner creativity and self-expression and you’re motivated to pull together what you’ve learned. Your focus on the underlying essence of a situation is strong, however, you may fixate on ideas or beliefs and then struggle to express yourself to others. That said, at the end of the week, networking with others increases, and you look forward to learning more about the world around you.
Wednesday, 8 November 2023
You are focused on creating a strong and protective foundation on your path to success. However, to accomplish that, you need to avoid superficial thinking. To stay on track, today’s rune Kenaz ᚲ can be used to bring clarity and increase creativity. Think of it as the torch that lights your way. Carry the rune with you in some fashion and use its energy to inspire the best path forward. You can also draw it with your finger over the third eye chakra and on the palm of each hand for increased influence.
Jupiter
6th House/Taurus 11/3-10; 5th House/Taurus 11/11; Retrograde
Thursday’s Influences: 9, Dagaz, Carcer, Human Design Gate/Line 24.3 The Addict; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. For much of the week, you’re focused on your health. You’d love to be out pursuing one adventure or another, but you may not be feeling up to par, and until you return to your normal active self, it’s best to hold off making any plans. A marriage or partnership, either new or existing, is important during this time.
Thursday, 9 November 2023
You closely examine a difficulty you have with irrational behavior and perceptions and the isolation you experience as a result. You feel bound by both and you wish to move past ideas and attitudes that are outmoded and keep you from expressing who you really are. A Dagaz ritual may be helpful where you draw today’s rune Dagaz ᛞ on the floor or ground (if outside) either mentally or using some other implement. The idea here is to define the area where you will be standing. Stand in the center of Dagaz and while turning your eyes to the left side of the rune, bring to mind the issues that you want to move past. Bless them for the inner growth they’ve created and then see them disappear as you turn your eyes to the right side of the rune and embrace non-judgment. Vow to own your future perceptions and not justify their existence. Realize that you give all of your experiences the meaning they have and cast the intention to see everyone as the other side of self instead of simply the ego’s version of the other.
Venus
10th House/Virgo 11/5-8; 10th House/Libra 11/8-11
Friday’s Influences: 1, Thurisaz, Puella, Human Design Gate/Line 46.5 Pacing; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic
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, you may feel a lack of support, either from others or from your financial circumstances. While this might be due to your expectations, it could also be that you’re unable to see the bigger picture and, as a result, are easily led by others into situations that are unsustainable. Mid-week, your insecurities may keep you from achieving a deadline.
Friday, 10 November 2023
Stay the course today so that you don’t lose focus and fail to achieve your goals. Control your impulsive side to protect what you’ve accomplished thus far. Today’s rune Thurisaz ᚦ represents the energy of Thor and his hammer, Mjölnir, and its protective quality can help you stay balanced. Invoke the power Thurisaz throughout the day either through chanting or by mentally drawing the rune itself in the air or on your body. Include the rune in a mojo bag. Add a thorn or two as well as anything else that resonates. Like the thorn, the power of Thurisaz is found in the energetic effect or impact of its focus. The thorn can either pierce your awareness or keep you on a safe path.
Saturn
3rd House/Pisces
Saturday’s Influences: 11, Isa, Acquisitio, Human Design Gate/Line 55.1 Cooperation; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. This may be a challenging week where you feel less than enthusiastic about your responsibilities. And it may seem as if support from others is lacking. However, it could be your own perceptions that are influencing how you feel. During the latter part of the week, you may fixate on one idea or another and then struggle to express those ideas to others. Reevaluation of patterns within a close relationship may also be necessary, especially if you lack a balance between work and your love life.
Saturday, 11 November 2023
Stay focused on your goals today so that you don’t become caught up in minutiae. Seek advice if necessary from a person with more experience, collaborate with others, and avoid an overconfident attitude. If you find that your focus becomes scattered, chant Isa ᛁ to keep yourself centered.
