The Sun

• 12th House/Aquarius
• Sunday influences: 1, Ehwaz, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 19.1 Interdependence; Moon Phase: Waning, Full

The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Your career benefits over the week due to your hard work and innovative perspective. Midweek, however, taking time for yourself is necessary to allow you to regroup and recharge, otherwise you may miss opportunities coming your way. At the end of the week, boundaries or expectations may be confusing and you may not be as available or responsive to others as you typically are.

Sunday, 28 January 2024

Although your leadership and talent contribute to a collaborative effort today, you still want to maintain your identity within the group. You value the relationships you’re building with others, the intuitive bond that strengthens and guides your efforts, and the interdependence that contributes to your overall success.

The Moon

• Various signs and houses (7th/Virgo 1/28-29; 7th/Libra 1/30; 8th/Libra 1/31-2/1; 8th/Scorpio 2/2; 9th/Scorpio 2/3)
• Monday Influences: 11, Othala, Conjunctio; Human Design Gate/Line 47.6 Futility; Moon Phase: Waning, Full

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 require a level of perfection from a partner that may be unattainable. This may be in response to low self-esteem that enables feelings of abandonment by others, or it could be that your emotions are in flux and it’s impacting your ability to share your true feelings. As the week continues, you’re focused on increasing harmony with a close partner. Should tense moments arise, remain flexible, and observe before responding in haste.

During the latter part of the week, others may find your temper is too much to deal with and it leads you to explore how your emotional balance impacts both your environment and your relationships. You may also expand that exploration to a more metaphysical focus to achieve an understanding that reflects higher awareness. You may have perceived your emotions to be unstable when in truth you need to trust your feelings and intuition and balance them with your intellectual awareness. During tense moments you may not entirely trust your emotional response and it may be important to drop resistance until more facts are known.

Monday, 29 January 2024

If no real solutions are possible today, you may realize the futility of the path you’re on. Today’s Master 11 numerology can offer insight from Higher awareness and a meditation that focuses on accessing your natural alignment with the oversoul or multi-dimensional aspect of your true self may help you arrive at a more realistic direction. This connection with your higher self is your sacred space, your Othala, and the more you intentionally join with that awareness, the greater the opportunity is for you to understand what you truly need.

Mars

• 12th House/Capricorn; 11th/Capricorn 2/3-4
• Tuesday’s Influences: 3, Inguz, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line 54.5 Magnanimity; Moon Phase: Waning, Disseminating

Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. As you continue reassessing your goals, you’re eager to express your ideas and unique solutions to others. Although you don’t want to get ahead of yourself, there could be a new leadership opportunity mid-week that may pique your interest; however, before you commit to anything, it’s best to do your due diligence to understand the situation more fully. Control issues may surface between you and a partner at the end of the week and it would be wise to observe before reacting further.

Tuesday, 30 January 2024

Your hands-off management style inspires others to do their best. You see their potential, define the direction, and give them the trust and space to maximize their success. However, you also are willing to let them make mistakes so that they grow from that experience. In doing so, you demonstrate the value of knowing one’s limitations and when to seek assistance from others.

Mercury

• 12th House/Capricorn
• Wednesday’s Influences: 4, Hagalaz, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 61.3 Interdependence; Moon Phase: Waning, Disseminating

Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Over the week, your interactions with others along with some due diligence help you establish a new direction. You may also encounter someone unexpected at the beginning of the week who may help you define that new direction more fully. You assert yourself well and you express yourself with authority, but you will also benefit from considering the input from others that can help keep you on track. Toward the end of the week, you realize that you’ve been focusing so much on work that you’ve left little time to enjoy yourself. Imbolc, the pagan fire festival that celebrates fertility and the return of Spring, is on Friday. Let go of work and have some fun!

Wednesday, 31 January 2024

A collaborative effort is moving forward today, and it’s important to not allow any impatience on your part to overshadow what you’ve accomplished thus far. Coordinate with others on your team and make changes without impacting the overall focus of your project. Seek assistance from others with more experience if necessary.

Jupiter

• 2nd House/Taurus
• Thursday’s Influences: 1, Laguz, Carcer, Human Design Gate/Line 27.6 Wariness; Moon Phase: Waning, Disseminating; Imbolc

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. At the beginning of the week, you may need to reevaluate how you express yourself when collaborating with others. In doing so, you may discover that keeping your ego in check can make an immediate improvement. Otherwise, you may become so focused on your own perspective that others may feel you don’t value their contributions. Expressing your ideas with enthusiasm can inspire others to do the same while controlling the narrative can be quite off-putting.

Thursday, 1 February 2024, Imbolc

Your intuition is advising you to respect the boundaries of others today and be more hesitant to offer support that’s not asked for. Although it may be obvious to you that someone may require help, he or she may not feel comfortable asking for any, preferring instead to independently work through the problem. Although it may seem like a self-defeating choice when you can easily solve the problem at hand, you’ll establish more trust by waiting until asked.

Venus

• 11th House/Capricorn
• Friday’s Influences: 2, Raidho, Rubeus, Human Design Gate/Line 38.4 Investigation; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr 3:19p  12°Sc35; Imbolc

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. A relationship may intensify over the week, suggesting a stronger commitment may be possible. You express love easily; however, your discomfort with conflict or confrontation makes asserting yourself more difficult. Although some patience may be necessary should interactions become upsetting or triggering, it will also provide an area to develop growth and compassion.

Friday, 2 February 2024, Imbolc

Imbolc celebrates the coming of Spring, fertility, and the birth of new lambs and foals. A ritual celebrating Spring’s return, even if you have snow on the ground as I do, can be a welcome addition to marking this transitional time when Winter is coming to an end and flowers begin to emerge. It’s also a time to begin planning the garden and depending upon where you live, planting seeds, even if you have to keep them inside until the weather becomes warmer.

You feel the rhythm of the cyclical nature of life and the harmony and integration you feel with others. However, if you experience conflict with someone today, or it feels like someone is trying to overshadow or control your efforts, reassure that person that working together will not prevent his or her ideas from being heard.

Saturn

• 1st House/Pisces
• Saturday’s Influences: 3, Berkano, Fortuna Major, Human Design Gate/Line 37.2 Responsibility; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr

The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Although you’ve set a goal to achieve more in your career this year, establishing a healthy balance between work and your personal life is still challenging. And without that clarity, you may be hesitant to pursue new opportunities. Pursuing your goals is important, but so is the time you spend with family, friends, or on your own. So, take time this week to evaluate what you need to be successful in both areas.

Saturday, 3 February 2024

Something to consider today: although your career is important, the relationships you’ve established with others are what will sustain you over time. You realize that many of your achievements would not have been possible without the people with whom you’ve collaborated and the support you have from family and friends. They are, in truth, your greatest fortune, and as you move forward, it’s important to acknowledge both their presence in your life and their contribution to your overall success.
