The Forecast ~ 17-23 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 taken 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, Jupiter, Uranus, Chiron, Vesta
The Sun
- 12th House/Sagittarius; 12th/Capricorn (12/21 7:27p); Winter Solstice 12/21
- Sunday influences: 8, Wunjo, Puer, Human Design Gate/Line 11.4 The teacher; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Other people are interested in what you have to offer this week. You exert a powerful influence, and your diligence, problem-solving skills, and leadership benefit your career. As the week progresses, should your focus shift or become off-balanced, your intuition can be a reliable resource. As the Sun moves into Capricorn on the Winter Solstice, self-reflection may help you set more realistic boundaries with others.
Sunday, 17 December 2023
This is a day for happiness, harmony, and fellowship as well as for personal growth. Others may look to you today for wisdom and leadership, so it will be necessary to keep your impulses under control so that you provide the stable influence others need.
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: 9, Algiz, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 63/1 Composure; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
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 benefit from a more rational view of your finances instead of deriving emotional security from acquiring possessions. If necessary, take a step back so that you can formulate a new strategy or plan before pressing on. As the week continues, your ability to express yourself may be impacted by your emotional well-being and you may need to rely more on your intuition to guide your interactions. Life may be overwhelming during this time and retreating to a safe space may be warranted to regain your balance.
You may decide to work independently, possibly from home, during the latter part of the week, especially if you have not regained your emotional balance. You may also spend time with women in your life with whom you feel more grounded. They may also help you more fully understand your shifting emotions. Physical exercise may be helpful if you become irritable, especially if something unexpected occurs.
Monday, 18 December 2023
Maintain your composure today so that a situation unfolds naturally. Others will see your progress and you’ll benefit from their support. Today’s runes, Algiz from the Elder Futhark and Albus from geomancy, both suggest a higher perspective is possible, and the wisdom and clarity you possess will serve you well going forward.
Mars
- 12th House/Sagittarius; Out of Bounds 12/21-23
- Tuesday’s Influences: 1, Perthro, Via, Human Design Gate/Line 26.2 The lessons of history; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr 10:39a 27°Pi35
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. A lack of impulse control is still an issue over the week, but instead of giving in to that influence, take this time to reflect on the direction you’ve chosen. Impulsivity or over-confidence can increase conflict between you and a partner, particularly if you speak without thinking. It’s important that you don’t get ahead of yourself right now and strike a balance between your instincts and doing your due diligence.
Tuesday, 19 December 2023
Learning through experience also involves understanding who controls your fate. Do you take responsibility for your actions or do you pass that blame onto others or circumstances? It is easy to become stuck in perception because it’s often emotion-based. Today, however, you must commit to understanding the cause and effect of your actions and make the changes necessary to begin anew.
Mercury
- 1st House/Capricorn; 12th/Capricorn (12/22); 12th/Sagittarius (12/22 – 10:17p)-12/23; Retrograde
- Wednesday’s Influences: 2, Mannaz, Puer, Human Design Gate/Line 10.6 The role model – instinctual self-defense; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. At the beginning of the week, take time to better understand an unexpected situation so that you’ll know if a new strategy is needed. It’s your normal practice to consider your next moves carefully, but with Mercury in retrograde, be certain you know all the facts before making any adjustments. Although this is an optimum time to achieve your goals, you’ll need to remain as flexible as possible, particularly if committing to something new is involved.
Wednesday, 20 December 2023
Your integrity matters today as is the kindness you show those around you. You’re viewed as a role model due to your ability to integrate well with others and respect what they have to offer. If a situation becomes unstable or untenable, the example you set will resonate well.
Jupiter
- 4th House/Taurus; Retrograde; Winter Solstice
- Thursday’s Influences: 3, Sowilo, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 27.4 Generosity; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Over the week, boundary issues may impact your relationship with a partner. If so, it may be a good idea to clear your mind and get things in order. Ideally, you’re optimistic about your future and you appreciate the support your partner provides; and, once boundaries are respected, your commitment to each other may strengthen.
Thursday, 21 December 2023
Your self-confidence is strong and you’re optimistic for the future. A collaborative effort with others is going smoothly and you’re learning more and more each day. Others appreciate your generosity and your impact on them is positive. On this Winter Solstice, you feel the energy of new beginnings. Share a meal with family and friends and celebrate the light returning and the year to come.
Venus
- 10th House/Scorpio
- Friday’s Influences: 22, Thurisaz, Caput Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 43.3 Expediency; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
Venus, the planet of attraction, happiness, harmony, and beauty, reflects the feminine aspect within and how an individual loves and expresses intimacy and self-worth. If interactions continue to be intense with co-workers over the week, you may assume the victim role and blame others for the conflict. Because you’re accustomed to working independently, you may be hesitant to commit to a shared process. Or it could be that you feel your own needs will be overlooked by others. Either way, the better option is to avoid judgment and accept responsibility for communicating what you need to be successful.
Friday, 22 December 2023
Today’s Master 22 numerology provides the space for manifesting new opportunities and building relationships with others. Make decisions that support new endeavors and break through obstacles that have been holding you back. A ritual or spell involving today’s rune Thurisaz ᚦ can assist you in that process. Although Thurisaz establishes new beginnings and protects you on your chosen path, avoid favoring expediency at the expense of insights gained.
Saturn
- 2nd House/Pisces
- Saturday’s Influences: 5, Nauthiz, Populus, Human Design Gate/Line 55.3 Nostalgia; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. At the beginning of the week, you feel you can accomplish anything. As the week progresses, your career prospects may improve with support from a mentor. That said, you take a measured approach to expanding your reach. On a personal front, you’re ready to release old paradigms to improve your relationships with others.
Saturday, 23 December 2023
An independent approach will protect your efforts far more than will following the crowd. This is a time to refine or adjust your plans, and only you know what’s necessary to do that. The energy of today’s Norn rune, Nauthiz ᚾ can provide additional focus to overcome any restriction you might be experiencing so that you quickly move in the direction of achieving your goals.
