Retrograde Planets – Pluto, Ceres, Saturn, Neptune, Eris, Chiron; Upcoming: Mercury 8/4
The Sun
- 12th House/Leo
- Sunday influences: 4; Dagaz, Via; Human Design Gate/Line 33.6 Disassociation; Moon Phase: New at 4:14a 12Le34
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Respect for individual differences comes into play at the beginning of the week which a narrow, impulsive, or egoic perspective may impact. Try to find a balanced perspective to avoid harming a close relationship. As the week progresses, your intuition is strong and you engage in what inspires you, while at the end of the week, a new opportunity may arise. However, there may also be requirements that challenge your resolve.
Sunday, 4 August 2024
As one period ends and a new one begins, reassess old perceptions and let go of what is no longer useful. Your hard work has paid off and a new opportunity may be in your future. On today’s New Moon in Leo set your intention to cultivate new experiences in a positive and uplifting way.
The Moon
- Various signs and houses: (12th/Leo 8/4-5; 1st/Virgo 8/6-7; 2nd/Libra 8/8-10)
- Monday Influences: 5; Isa, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 29.3 Evaluation; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
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 want to be noticed but you have difficulty understanding how to achieve that without seeming erratic. It may be that you’re a private person who has difficulty stepping outside your comfort zone when interacting with others. Although you’re adaptable, making changes during this period may be challenging unless you can control the outcome.
As the week continues, someone may trigger uncomfortable memories or emotions and an unexpected truth may be revealed. With Mercury in retrograde, you may decide to wait until a more realistic time to respond.
Monday, 5 August 2024
Instead of making an impulsive decision, evaluate the situation fully and wait for the right moment to act. Change is possible now, however, you don’t want to compromise your success by losing focus.
Mars
- 10th House/Gemini
- Tuesday’s Influences: 6; Wunjo, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 35.1 Humility; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. You enjoy sharing time with others this week, but you need to take care that you remain balanced otherwise your temper may get the better of you. You’re motivated to pursue new opportunities; however, at the end of the week, financial issues may arise between you and a partner and you appear to be on separate paths. However, it’s best to listen to and understand your partner’s perspective before stepping into the fray, especially now that Mercury is in retrograde.
Tuesday, 6 August 2024
Don’t get ahead of yourself today and if a situation doesn’t work out as you’d like, remember that rejection is part of the process. Having humility will lead others to offer assistance and, in the process, a collaborative endeavor may begin.
Mercury
- 12th House/Virgo; Retrograde (ends 8/28)
- Wednesday’s Influences: 7; Raidho, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 59.4 Brotherhood/Sisterhood; Moon Phase: Waxing, New
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. You’re not particularly assertive during the first part of the week, and you may prefer to spend time in reflection or organize your schedule. With Mercury in retrograde, you may want to make sure you communicate clearly with others, even if it means waiting for a better moment to have a conversation.
Wednesday, 7 August 2024
The harmony you seek with others may be impacted by a lack of impulse control or a tendency to push your ideas onto others. Today’s rune from the Elder Futhark, Raidho ᚱ, emphasizes integration, partnership, and focusing on the collaborative process. In expressing Raidho’s counsel, you preserve the integrity of all involved.
Jupiter
- 10th House/Gemini
- Thursday’s Influences: 8; Thurisaz, Populus; Human Design Gate/Line 35.5 Altruism; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. You’re motivated this week with career advancement possible. You’re optimistic and you express yourself thoughtfully to others while exploring new ideas and experiences. With The Moon in its crescent phase, you may get in the way of your own success so approach new situations in a measured way.
Thursday, 8 August 2024
An altruistic approach today will demonstrate your leadership qualities and make others who may be instrumental in your career advancement sit up and take notice. Your willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the greater good indicates you’re ready to take on new challenges and be the leader they’re looking for.
Venus
- 12th House/Leo; 12th House, Virgo 8/5-10
- Friday’s Influences: 9; Hagalaz, Amissio; Human Design Gate/Line 59.6 The one-night stand; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
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 may be too critical or too focused on order at the expense of your creativity. Conversely, insecurities may lead to unhealthy boundaries where you become over-involved in the lives of loved ones. Toward the end of the week, your emotions settle and conversations with others improve.
Friday, 9 August 2024
Although you’re driven by your ideals, you may be hesitant to pursue a new opportunity without knowing more details. Listening to only one person may not give you what you need and waiting until more facts are known may be the better option.
Saturn
- 7th House/Pisces; Retrograde
- Saturday’s Influences: 1; Fehu, Fortuna Minor; Human Design Gate/Line 22.2 Charm School; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Self-esteem issues over the week leave you feeling unsupported by others. You may feel frustrated during this period signaling the need for a new approach. It may be that your expectations of yourself and others are simply too high and reevaluation may be necessary.
Saturday, 10 August 2024
Seek outside assistance if a situation doesn’t progress as quickly as you’d like. Focus on the details, keep your eye on the ball, and don’t allow someone else to dismiss your concerns or perspective.
