The Sun
- 12th House/Capricorn
- Sunday influences: 4, Isa, Cauda Draconis, Human Design Gate/Line 38.1 Qualification; Moon Phase: Waning, Disseminating
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. As one year ends and a new year begins, you reflect on the boundaries you’ve set in your life and whether or not they make you feel secure. That said, you exert a powerful influence on others, and it bodes well for a leadership position now or in the future. You assert your independence mid-week which can lead you to new opportunities. However, at the end of the week, you may also benefit from coming to terms with uncomfortable issues that need addressing so that you can move past them with clarity and resolve.
Sunday, 31 December 2023, New Year’s Eve
A situation may be coming to an end today because you realize that it’s no longer workable. You intuitively know when to act and when to observe, and today’s four numerology reinforces a patient, pragmatic approach that will help you to make decisions that increase your material or physical security. Chanting the Norn rune Isa ᛁ softly to yourself and mentally drawing it over your 3rd Eye chakra may help raise your consciousness to a level where you remain focused in present-moment awareness. In doing so, you reject the ego’s hold on your experiences and instead embrace your true alignment with Source Presence.

Your emotional resonance affects everything, your body, mind, surroundings, and your relationships with others. As the week progresses, an opportunity may arise for you and your partner to explore new concepts that can increase emotional awareness and self-control. As the week comes to a close, you’re beginning to understand your emotions from a higher perspective which ultimately helps you overcome any challenges that arise.

You’re generous to a fault, but that’s not always appreciated by others.

- Friday’s Influences: 5, Isa, Acquisitio, Human Design Gate/Line 9.3 The Straw that breaks the camel’s back; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Quarter
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. As the new year begins it may be time to set financial goals with a partner. However, this may be challenging for you if confrontation is part of the process. If so, you may end up supporting a decision just to gain approval from your partner. Toward the end of the week, you may need to rely on your instincts instead of what others want you to believe.
Friday, 5 January 2024

At the end of the week, you may be overwhelmed by your responsibilities.
Saturday, 6 January 2024
Balancing will and emotions isn’t an easy task. You know what you need to accomplish, but self-esteem issues may impact that process. Consider seeing the situation from a higher perspective, without emotions interfering with your choices. Ask for guidance from a trusted advisor if necessary, but in the end, you may need to let go of beliefs about yourself that are fear-based instead of reality-based.
