The Forecast for 21-27 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 (Direct 4/25), Pallas
Cosmic Rays – The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict dominates this week suggesting that through analysis and respectful discussion, issues that have resulted in struggle may finally be settled. Mediation may be helpful as can maintaining self-control. However, nothing will happen if emotions control the narrative.
The Sun
- 12th House/Taurus
- Sunday influences: 3; Mannaz, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 3.6 Surrender; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous; Rays: 4th
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. You prefer to work independently over the week without the influence of others. Interactions have been unpredictable over the prior week with compromise and respect for boundaries lacking, and, as a result, you may feel emotionally off-balance. While co-workers seek you out for advice this week, you may need to choose your words carefully when expressing yourself to authority figures. At the end of the week, your emotions may be at odds with your will.
Sunday, 21 April 2024
If you find that you’re struggling today, you may need to reevaluate either your plans or your process. Avoid impulsivity, pay attention to details, and be certain that your mind is clear enough to proceed. Remember that Mercury is still in retrograde until Thursday and taking time to review everything may be necessary.
The Moon
- Various signs and houses: (5th/Libra 4/21-22; 6th/Libra 4/23; 6th/Scorpio 4/24-25; 6th/Sagittarius 4/26; 7th/Sagittarius 4/27)
- Monday Influences: 22, Othala, Via; Human Design Gate/Line 57.3 Acuteness; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous; Rays: 4th
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 need an escape and you enjoy socializing with friends and family. A barbecue or perhaps a hike in nature may be an option. You may also work through past issues at the beginning of the week that impact relationships with women in your life. If difficult feelings emerge, reflect on how those feelings control your reactions and impact your emotional balance.
As the week continues, you take some quiet time to explore your health and well-being. You may overlook your own needs when caring for the needs of others, and although focusing on your needs may feel uncomfortable, it’s still necessary, otherwise your overall health may suffer.
At the end of the week, your relationships with significant others may be stressful and you benefit from a partnership that either accepts your need for independence or happily sets off on an adventure with you. This is a time to get away, especially if past issues have been impacting your overall health.
Monday, 22 April 2024, Maiden
On this powerful Master 22 day, your intuition helps you manifest success and prosperity. This may reflect a new path you’re on or one that you’ve been developing, but either way, your intuition also assists you in letting go of perceptions that are holding you back. You may already be feeling the emotional intensity of tomorrow’s Full Moon in Scorpio as it moves into its Maiden phase. If so, allow your intuition to balance your emotions, because the next three days may be quite revealing.
Mars
- 11th House/Pisces
- Tuesday’s Influences: 5, Berkano, Rubeus; Human Design Gate/Line 36.3 Transition; Moon Phase: Waxing, Full at 4:48p, 04°Sc17; Rays: 4th
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. Your energy may be low over the week and taking time to rest is in order especially if you find that you’re overreacting to insignificant issues. You may also spend time with family and friends during this time. Toward the end of the week, your self-confidence motivates you to seek out new opportunities.
Tuesday, 23 April 2024, Full Moon
With this Full Moon in Scorpio, your emotions may become intense, and you may be given to secrecy or a lack of impulse control. The Full Moon, however, reveals what’s hidden and you would do well to draw down Goddess presence to help you discover what is true and what is an overreaction. This can be a time when a new path can form from the truth that’s revealed. Otherwise, your passion or temper may get the better of you and overreaction may be the result.
Mercury
- 11th House/Aries Rx; Mercury Direct on April 25
- Wednesday’s Influences: 6, Uruz, Amissio, Human Design Gate/Line 51.1 Withdrawal; Moon Phase: Waning, Full, Crone; Rays: 4th
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. With Mercury retrograde ending on Thursday, clarity involving your thoughts and interactions with others may improve. However, there is a shadow period for about a week before and after the three-week retrograde period, so for some people, it may take a little more time for things to settle down.
You rely on your intuition over the week, especially when making decisions. If something doesn’t feel right, it may be best to wait until all factors are known. You may continue over the week to gather information about a new career path that involves some form of education. At the end of the week, co-workers appreciate your perspective about a new opportunity that arises.
Wednesday, 24 April 2024, Crone
If your ego is challenged today, you might need to withdraw to more fully understand the situation and address any insecurities that arise. Tonight’s Crone phase of the Full Moon provides the opportunity to reflect and reassess your feelings from a Higher perspective. With Mercury retrograde ending tomorrow, if the situation involves miscommunication, some of that may clear up. But if not, remember that you shape your reality and your inner strength will carry you through.
Jupiter
- 12th/Taurus
- Thursday’s Influences: 9; Mannaz, Caput Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 23.5 Assimilation; Moon Phase: Waning, Full; Rays: 4th; Mercury Direct
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Although you’re focused on issues of abundance this week, you’re confidence is high and you’re ready to take risks to pursue new opportunities and experiences. You’re typically supportive of others, however, during the first half of the week, you prefer to work independently on your own projects. During the latter part of the week, it’s best to avoid impulsivity or self-indulgence, especially if emotions surface that are uncomfortable.
Thursday, 25 April 2024
You’re on the threshold of new beginnings. You embrace a new direction and you express the insight you’ve gained to friends and family. With Mercury retrograde ending, interactions improve and it becomes easier to integrate with others in a balanced manner.
Venus
- 12th House/Aries; 11th/Aries 4/27
- Friday’s Influences: 8; Ehwaz, Caput Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 3.1 Synthesis; Moon Phase: Waning, Full; Rays: 4th
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. Throughout most of the week, you’re focused on your responsibilities so that at the end of the week, you can spend time with friends and/or family. However, at the beginning of the week, fear that your ideas may be rejected may impact interactions with others. Take a measured approach and remember that Mercury retrograde may still be impacting self-expression. Toward the end of the week, the boundaries you set may need reevaluating, especially when taking care of your own needs.
Friday, 26 April 2024.
Interactions with a partner improve today after a new understanding is achieved. The bond you both have created has been strengthened and the change that’s occurred has cleared the way for a new, shared direction to emerge.
Saturn
- 11th House/Pisces
- Saturday’s Influences: 9; Uruz, Caput Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 63.6 Nostalgia; Moon Phase: Waning, Full; Rays: 4th
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. If nothing seems to progress this week, you may need to reevaluate your expectations so that you don’t sabotage your efforts. In short, a more deliberate approach may be necessary. You may begin a new period in your life this week and letting go of old habits and perceptions may be necessary to prepare you for future endeavors.
At the beginning of the week, you may find that connecting emotionally with others is challenging. However, during the latter part of the week, although self-esteem issues continue, it’s clear that you’re respected for confidently pursuing your goals.
Saturday, 27 April 2024
To move forward, you need to leave behind any doubt you feel about past experiences and focus on what’s in front of you. You are on the threshold of new beginnings, and your strength, generosity, and idealism will serve you well as you shape your desired future.
