The Forecast: 14-20 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 – Ray 7 on Sunday and Monday suggests order is important as is remaining open-minded and compassionate. How you manifest from a higher purpose (Ray 1) increases on Tuesday and Wednesday. And lastly, the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom manifests at the end of the week on Thursday through Saturday.
The Sun
- 12th House/Aries; 12th House/Taurus 4/19
- Sunday influences: 5; Thurisaz, Fortuna Minor; Human Design Gate/Line 42.5 Self-actualization; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent; Rays: 7th
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. While the Sun is still in Aries this week, you continue to reflect on how you assert yourself and express your individuality. However, when the Sun enters Taurus on Friday, your security becomes important. With Mercury still in retrograde, although your ideas flow well, expressing them to others may prove challenging, and relying on your intuition may be helpful. During the latter part of the week, interactions may become tense and unpredictable and boundaries may suffer. As a result, you may feel as if you cannot accomplish anything, and with the Sun now in Taurus, a measured approach may be favored.
Sunday, 14 April 2024
Your healthy sense of self invokes growth that influences others as do your unique and innovative ideas. However, to maintain that influence today, you need to control your impulses. Ask for assistance if necessary so that you remain organized and motivated to achieve your objectives.
The Moon
- Various signs and houses: (2nd/Cancer 4/14; 3rd/Cancer 4/15; 4th/Leo 4/16-17; 4th/Virgo 4/18; 5th/Virgo 4/19-20)
- Monday Influences: 6, Kenaz, Albus; Human Design Gate/Line 62.4 Asceticism; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr, 12:13p 26°Cn18; Rays: 7th
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, stressful moments with a partner may impact your inner resources. Rely on your intuition/Higher awareness to guide your response so that you can be as supportive as possible.
Midweek, spend time at home with family, plan new projects, and get organized. You may discover that being home also increases your emotional balance and interactions with others flow more smoothly. You have the opportunity during this period to explore past hurtful experiences, put them into a new perspective, and embrace their healing message.
During the latter part of the week, if your home is in disarray, your stress may increase and impact your well-being. However, it may also provide the opportunity to change behaviors that are the real source of your distress. At the end of the week, balance taking care of routine tasks with having fun with family or friends. Your unique perspective and your adventuresome personality can make all the difference.
Monday, 15 April 2024
You withdraw today to achieve more simplicity in your life and to foster inner awareness. This is a time to heal and to awaken to your inner truth. Issues that have thus far been on the back burner provide a window into transformation and increased well-being. So take the time you need, and seek guidance if necessary.
Mars
- 11th House/Pisces
- Tuesday’s Influences: 7, Tiwaz, Amissio; Human Design Gate/Line 22.3 The Enchanter; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr; Rays 1st
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. During the first part of the week, remain disciplined in your work and when taking care of your health. Avoid overreacting to any drama or conflict and take a cooperative approach to problem-solving. As the week continues, your confidence increases and you may inspire others to pursue a new opportunity with you. At the end of the week, you may experience conflict with others if your tone is disrespectful.
Tuesday, 16 April 2024
The goal today is to observe an ongoing situation before asserting yourself on behalf of others who may be too hesitant to speak up for themselves. Consider it an offer of grace that reflects a spiritual perspective and avoid taking any bait that could result in additional conflict.
Mercury
- 12th House/Aries Rx; 11th House/Aries Rx
- Wednesday’s Influences: 8, Algiz, Fortuna Minor, Human Design Gate/Line 51.4 LImitation; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr; Rays 1st
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. While Mercury retrograde continues until April 25th, remember that interactions with others may be impacted, and you may have difficulty expressing your ideas. Some people also avoid purchasing any electronics during this time or signing contracts. Although your intuition or instincts may be strong throughout the week, you still want to double-check everything before making any decisions so that you don’t overlook something important.
Difficult memories may also emerge during the week that can provide the space for healing old wounds, and because of that, expressing support for others may be challenging. However, as you work through those issues, toward the end of the week, expressing compassion and support improves.
Wednesday, 17 April 2024
Remain focused today irrespective of any distractions or challenges that arise. Acknowledge your limitations and ask for assistance if needed so that you continue to make progress and protect the time and effort you’ve invested thus far.
Jupiter
- 12th/Taurus
- Thursday’s Influences: 9; Ansuz, Rubeus; Human Design Gate/Line 23.3 Individuality; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr; Rays 2nd
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Although you take time for yourself this week to reflect on how you manage your material security, you’re also willing to take risks to discover new and exciting opportunities that can increase your abundance. However, during the latter part of the week, you may become so focused on your own perspective that you may not listen to the viewpoints of others. At the end of the week, a reset may be needed and you enjoy time with family and friends.
Thursday, 18 April 2024
Express your insights to others with eloquence and clarity, and make no attempt to control the outcome. Stay positive, be clear about your motives, and avoid an either/or approach that prevents others from achieving a broader understanding.
Venus
- 12th House/Aries
- Friday’s Influences: 1; Thurisaz, Amissio; Human Design Gate/Line 51.3 Adaptation; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr then Gibbous; Rays 2nd
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. Over the week, you try to balance your independence with personal responsibilities. Although a discussion with a partner may be challenging during this time, it may also result in a shift in direction regarding your finances. During the latter part of the week, you provide support to someone whose concerns have been dismissed or disregarded by others.
Friday, 19 April 2024
You apply your unique perspective when creating opportunities from challenges today. Whereas others might lack impulse control or are hesitant to find solutions, your leadership will guide everyone along a reliable path.
Saturn
- 11th House/Pisces
- Saturday’s Influences: 2; Berkano, Amissio; Human Design Gate/Line 63.5 Affirmation; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous; Rays: 2nd
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Stress surrounding your responsibilities may impact your health this week, and meditation or a new exercise program may be helpful. That said, you may begin a new chapter this week where prior experience can inform your decisions. Toward the end of the week, however, self-esteem issues impact your emotional balance and you could sabotage your efforts. Taking a measured approach is favored until you regain your balance.
Saturday, 20 April 2024
If you approach partners with sincerity and kindness, a collaborative endeavor will either make significant progress or achieve a positive outcome today. Encourage those who may not feel they have a voice to offer solutions so that they feel included in the process. In the long run, doing so will support future collaborative efforts.
