The Forecast: 7-13 April 2024
The Forecast is a comprehensive look at the weekly planetary information and the daily forecast. The planetary information presented is from daily astrological charts over 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, Juno, Pallas
Cosmic Rays – Rays 1 and 7 are the dominant influence throughout the week suggesting the will to manifest from a higher purpose is strongest as is remaining open-minded and compassionate. From Thursday through Saturday, the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom invokes manifestation from Higher awareness.
New Moon/Solar Eclipse: Monday brings both a New Moon as well as a Solar Eclipse, total in some areas, and partial in others. While the New Moon in Aries will be perfect for setting new goals and exploring new opportunities, the Solar Eclipse energy, especially if you’re in the path to see it fully, will be exciting and energizing. Remember that the Solar Eclipse contains energy that spans the entire year.
The Sun
- 12th House/Aries
- Sunday influences: 7; Sowilo, Conjunctio; Human Design Gate/Line 51.4 Limitation; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic; Rays: 1st/7th
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. At the beginning of the week, your emotional balance may be off impacting how you convey support to others. If this is a recurring problem, reflect on where this is coming from and then let go of any perceptions that could be triggering that response. Other than that, your energy is strong and you’re ready to meet the goals you’ve set. However, with Mercury in retrograde throughout the week, choosing your words carefully may also be in order, especially if you feel that nothing seems to be going your way. Stay positive and engage with others who seek harmony and peace. At the end of the week, although your self-confidence increases, be sure to leave room for the opinions of others, particularly if it’s someone in authority.
Sunday, 7 April 2024
If your emotions are in flux, it may be better to observe before (or instead of) reacting to a challenging situation today. If a response is necessary, wait for additional clarity by first understanding the perspective of others and only then responding with your own.
The Moon
- Various signs and houses: (12th/Aries 4/7-8; 12th/Taurus 4/9-10; 1st/Gemini 4/11-12; 2nd/Gemini 4/13)
- Monday Influences: 8, Ansuz, Cauda Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 51.3 Adaptation; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic; New at 11:21a, 19°Ar24; Solar Eclipse; Rays: 1st/7th
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. You continue to shape your future this week, but you need to maintain an open mind when opportunities arise. You rely on your intuition which may help you when interacting with the women in your life. Keep in mind, as well, that Mercury retrograde may impact your interactions so proceed with caution.
As the week progresses, you reflect on ways to increase your well-being and security. If difficult feelings arise, use the opportunity to understand their overall message, the impact those feelings have on your life, and then work to let go of the control they have. Daily rituals such as exercise and meditation may be helpful.
At the end of the week, you’re regarded as a powerful leader. You understand the motivations of others and your past experiences inform any decisions you need to make. Although both your career and your personal life are a source of emotional satisfaction, you may experience issues with self-esteem or mood swings during this time. That said, your feelings will tell you if you’re on the right path, or if it’s time to move in a different direction. This will be especially true if finances are involved.
Monday, 8 April 2024 (New Moon; Solar Eclipse, Partial in other areas)
Stay focused and aware today and be ready to create opportunities irrespective of the circumstances or challenges you might encounter. Express yourself with eloquence, and move past anything (or anyone) that attempts to undermine your efforts. A solar eclipse happens today so if you’re lucky to be in the path of totality, step outside wearing those funny eclipse glasses and enjoy the event! I was in the path of totality during the 2017 eclipse and it was spectacular!
Mars
- 11th House/Pisces
- Tuesday’s Influences: 9, Nauthiz, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 63.3 Continuance; Moon Phase: Waxing, New; Rays 1st/7th
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Conflict may arise between you and someone in authority this week, and it’s best to remain disciplined and choose your words carefully so that you don’t lose support. Impulsivity on your part may result in taking action without seeking the input of others. You need to learn cooperation and respect and assert yourself in a manner that doesn’t result in conflict or hard feelings. At the end of the week, you need to avoid overreacting before knowing all the facts.
Tuesday, 9 April 2024
Success at any cost may seem attractive in terms of the results but not at the expense of your values and principles. Overcoming any challenges and restrictions may seem insurmountable at the moment, but in the end, you’ll have taken fewer risks while achieving your goals.
Mercury
- 12th House/Aries Rx
- Wednesday’s Influences: 1, Berkano, Albus, Human Design Gate/Line 42.3 Trial and Error; Moon Phase: Waxing, New; Rays 1st/7th
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. As Mercury retrograde continues, your intuition is strong; however, you should be aware of how you come across to others. Difficult memories may emerge during this time which may trigger your emotions, but they also allow you to heal old wounds that impact your interactions. At the end of the week, conveying solutions to others may still prove challenging.
Wednesday, 10 April 2024
Through trial and error, you’re able to make progress on, or possibly finish, a project today. You’re known for your unique approach and it’s served you well. However, with Mercury continuing its retrograde today, you want to be certain that you’ve not overlooked something important. So, express any concerns you have and remain open to solutions offered by others.
Jupiter
- 12th/Taurus
- Thursday’s Influences: 11; Ansuz, Rubeus; Human Design Gate/Line 23.1 Proselytization; Moon Phase: Waxing, New; Rays 1st/2nd/7th
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. You may feel unsupported by a partner at the beginning of the week; however, overreacting won’t solve anything. You’re willing to take a risk to pursue a new opportunity this week, but if difficult emotions surface, taking a step back may be necessary to regain your composure. At the end of the week, your optimism increases and you’re motivated to break free and express your individuality.
Thursday, 11 April 2024
Forcing your beliefs on others or undermining their contribution will likely result in your working alone today. Remember that today’s Master 11 numerology provides the space to awaken to a higher purpose. If you let go of your need to control the situation and express yourself with clarity and humility, others will be more than happy to help you achieve your objective.
Venus
- 12th House/Pisces; 12th House/Aries (4/5-6)
- Friday’s Influences: 3; Othala, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 17.6 The bodhisattva; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent; Rays 1st/2nd/7th
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 with a partner may change its focus this week. The relationship may have gone as far as it can, and without some work, you may need to go in a new direction. Midweek, an unexpected situation may arise that creates additional challenges. Remember that Mercury retrograde could be impacting your self-expression and could be the source of any miscommunication(s) that occur. At the end of the week, a shift in perception could result in more stability between you and your partner.
Friday, 12 April 2024
Your optimistic attitude and the positive environment you create help nurture others who might feel hesitant to move forward. By staying focused on the details, and encouraging others to express themselves, the loyalty you inspire keeps everyone on track.
Saturn
- 11th House/Pisces
- Saturday’s Influences: 4; Thurisaz, Acquisitio; Human Design Gate/Line 63.4 Memory; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent; Rays: 1st/2nd/7th
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. You may experience career challenges this week and it’s best to wait until more information is available before making decisions. If signing any documents is involved, you may want to wait until Mercury goes Direct before proceeding further. At the end of the week, your self-esteem may be less and you’re challenged by your responsibilities.
Saturday, 13 April 2024
You may have difficulty getting organized today. Your impulse control may be less and you’re having difficulty focusing on your responsibilities. Mercury retrograde may be a factor, or it could be that you need a day off to rest. If so, taking time to regroup is recommended.
