The Forecast ~ 10-16 December 2023
The Forecast is a comprehensive look at both the weekly planetary information as well as the daily forecast. The planetary information presented is from daily astrological charts for the week that align with the planetary governor for each day, while the daily information is gleaned from each day’s I Ching-based Human Design chart, runes from both the Elder Futhark, geomancy, and numerology. The astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time.
Retrograde Planets – Mercury Rx (12/13), Jupiter, Uranus, Chiron, Vesta
The Sun
12th House/Sagittarius
Sunday influences: 1, Uruz, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 25.2 The Lessons of History; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Partnership issues may continue during the first part of the week, and it’s important to remain compassionate and express empathy to achieve the best outcome. On the work front, an unexpected situation may impact your ability to remain flexible and independent. And although your confidence is strong, this new situation may motivate you to consider other options. At the end of the week, you may focus on the needs of others at the expense of your own.
Sunday, 10 December 2023
A situation may end today that has been a recipe for disaster. Uruz ᚢ, today’s rune from the Elder Futhark, suggests that this will provide an opportunity to learn from experience and shape your own direction in a manner that expresses your talent and leadership. Make plans and prepare for new experiences to come.
The Moon
Various signs and houses (11th/Scorpio 12/10, 11th/Sagittarius 12/11, 12th/Sagittarius 12/12, 1st/Capricorn 12/13-15, 2nd/Aquarius 12/16)
Monday Influences: 11, Sowilo, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 34.3 Machismo; 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, you rely on friendships for inner security; however, your intense need for their support may be impacted if those relationships don’t live up to your expectations. If your emotions are unstable or your self-esteem is low, that may be a contributing factor. As the week continues, balancing your urge for independence and adventure may need to take a backseat to your emotional need to retreat. Daily rituals may also provide emotional sustenance.
It’s clear that structure and discipline are important, particularly in your work, but so is your emotional well-being. At the end of the week, you may attempt to feel better by shopping for something new. If so, realize that possessions will only satisfy you for so long, and you still need to address your need for security sooner than later.
Monday, 11 December 2023
Don’t allow your self-confidence to turn into an indiscriminate use of power. Doing so reflects insecurity that should be addressed instead of overcompensating and impacting your ability to work with others. Today’s Master 11 numerology, along with the rune Sowilo ⵢ, provides a window into accessing higher consciousness so that you understand the issue with increased clarity.
Mars
12th House/Sagittarius
Tuesday’s Influences: 3, Berkano, Conjunctio, Human Design Gate/Line 5.2 Inner peace; Moon Phase: Waning, New 3:32p 20°Sg40
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Impulsivity or over-confidence can impact your success, especially if it seems like you can’t get anywhere during the week. It may be that your emotional balance is off and it’s difficult to make a rational choice. If so, realize that struggling against the current may make it more difficult to resolve the issue. One other thing to consider is Mercury entering retrograde on Wednesday and it could be impacting your interactions or decisions.
Tuesday, 12 December 2023
Today’s New Moon in Sagittarius helps you set an intention to express yourself creatively and discover new adventures. Berkano ᛒ, today’s rune from the Elder Futhark supports that intention by promoting personal growth and new beginnings. However, to accomplish this, you’ll need to avoid acting prematurely until you have more information. Lastly, today’s numerology involves a 12-12 redundancy which some people refer to as a portal or gate to higher awareness. The number twelve can be found throughout physical reality and culture. With the 12-12 gate forming for today’s month and day, it feels like a new structure or foundation is coming into play, particularly in the area of creativity and growth, which aligns well with today’s New Moon, and the rune Berkano.
Mercury
1st House/Capricorn; Out of Bounds through Friday; Retrograde begins 12/13/2023
Wednesday’s Influences: 4, Eihwaz, Acquisitio, Human Design Gate/Line 58.5 Defense – instinctual self-defense; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Throughout the week, you’re stimulated by people with varied interests. You’re able to develop and communicate new strategies easily and you’re eager to express your ideas and plans for the future. One thing to keep in mind over the next three weeks, however, is that Mercury begins its retrograde path on Wednesday. So take the time you need to express yourself clearly.
Wednesday, 13 December 2023
If something feels off today, you’re likely feeling the impact of Mercury entering retrograde. Staying focused on achieving your goals may be affected, and interactions with others may not go as smoothly as you’d like. You may become impatient and try to move forward without having all the facts. If so, take time to review where you are so that you don’t overlook something that can impact your success.
Jupiter
4th House/Taurus; Retrograde
Thursday’s Influences: 5, Gebo, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 27.5 The Executor; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Given that Jupiter will stay in retrograde until the 30th of December, your normally expansive manner may have felt somewhat restricted or challenging during this time. Supporting others has been difficult and it’s impacted home life and close relationships with others. Although you’re able to make progress, obstacles enter your path and reevaluation becomes necessary. In fact, for most of the week, you may become frustrated and unnecessarily sabotage your efforts.
Thursday, 14 December 2023
You need to more effectively distribute your resources today. Others look to you for guidance and you need to protect the progress you’ve made thus far. A willingness to collaborate with others will assure a successful outcome, especially if each person has a voice in the process.
Venus
10th House/Scorpio
Friday’s Influences: 6, Dagaz, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 44.6 Aloofness; 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. At the beginning of the week, issues with a partner may be impacting your self-esteem. Although you’re ready to collaborate on a solution, expressing your feelings may be difficult. If at some point you try to control the conversation personal boundaries may become compromised. Consequently, it may be up to you to temper your expectations of both you and your partner to keep the intensity at bay.
Friday, 15 December 2023
Remaining aloof will convey the wrong message to a partner today and may close a door that would have been productive. Instead, offer assistance or guidance where you can and collaborate on a new direction.
Saturn
2nd House/Pisces
Saturday’s Influences: 7, Othala, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 55.3 Innocence; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Self-esteem issues may arise early in the week that stem from financial concerns you’ve been experiencing. If a partner is involved, you may try to control that person at the expense of the relationship. With Mercury entering retrograde on Wednesday, it’s best to choose your words carefully during the week.
Saturday, 16 December 2023
Observe a situation before offering your perspective. If you need to accept responsibility for something, feigning innocence won’t gain you the respect you’re looking for. Although you normally prefer to work independently from the group, working in collaboration may be a more reliable way to achieve your shared goal.
