The Forecast: 11-17 August 2024
The Forecast is a look at the weekly planetary influences and a daily reading derived from various esoteric sources. The planetary information presented is from daily astrological charts over the week that align with the planetary governor for each day, while the daily reading is gleaned from each day’s I Ching-based Human Design chart, runes from both the Elder Futhark and geomancy and the numerology for the day itself. The astrological and Human Design charts are cast for 8:00 am Pacific time.
Retrograde Planets – Mercury, Pluto, Ceres, Saturn, Neptune, Eris, Chiron
The Sun
- 12th House/Leo
- Sunday influences: 11; Berkano, Fortuna Major; Human Design Gate/Line 4/1 Pleasure; Moon Phase: Waxing, Crescent
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. At the beginning of the week, you may feel off balance. If you need to assert yourself, trust your intuition to guide your response. As the week continues, your creativity increases, however, you may feel authority figures may not support your unique solutions. At the end of the week, although your self-confidence is strong, your ideas flow, and decisions come easily, do not allow an impulsive need for control to impact a successful outcome.
Sunday, 11 August 2024
Today’s Master 11 numerology will help you keep your vibration high and focused on bringing a project to fruition. Keep your ego in check and wait for the right time to act. New growth is possible if you align with higher awareness.
The Moon
- Various signs and houses: (3rd/Scorpio 8/11-12; 3rd/Sagittarius 8/13; 4th/Sagittarius 8/14-15; 4th/Capricorn 8/16; 5th/Capricorn 8/17)
- Monday Influences: 3; Hagalaz, Aquisitio; Human Design Gate/Line43.2 Dedication; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr at 8:19a, 20°Sc24
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 be torn between sharing your ideas with others and taking time away to reflect on or come to terms with personal issues. As the week continues, you enjoy sharing your adventurous side with others.
Midweek, changes at home, particularly those that trigger uncomfortable memories, may motivate you to spend time elsewhere. You prefer structure in your life and feel insecure when your home feels unstable; however, at the end of the week, you’re ready to let that go so you can have some fun.
Monday, 12 August 2024
Keep your eye on the ball and commit to keeping your impulses under control today. Overconfidence or excessiveness may get in the way of achieving your goals, so stay focused on the details and let your optimism and creativity do the rest.
Mars
- 10th House/Gemini
- Tuesday’s Influences: 4; Othala, Albus; Human Design Gate/Line 35.5 Altruism; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. You’re motivated this week and your ideas are received well by others. Stay disciplined and focused and avoid trying to control a situation. That said, at the beginning of the week, financial issues continue between you and a partner and it’s best if you listen to your partner’s perspective instead of insisting on your own. At the end of the week, passions run high and you need to be mindful of appropriate boundaries.
Tuesday, 13 August 2024
Stay focused and don’t become caught up in interactions that keep you from achieving progress. Rely on your inner wisdom and experience to guide your decisions, and then approach the task at hand in an orderly and pragmatic manner.
Mercury
- 12th House/Leo; Retrograde (ends 8/28)
- Wednesday’s Influences: 5; Mannaz, Via; Human Design Gate/Line 59.1 The preemptive strike; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. You may feel emotional at the beginning of the week causing you to overreact to a situation you’ve been worried about. If so, it may be that a more practical approach is needed, so you may want to pause before conveying your concerns until more information is known. As the week progresses, the opinions of others may provide valuable insight, especially if your thinking is scattered due to Mercury still in retrograde.
Wednesday, 14 August 2024
You may struggle to find solutions to challenges that are preventing progress today. If you’re working alone, you may benefit from a more collaborative approach, so let go of any preconceived notions and reach out to others for assistance.
Jupiter
- 10th House/Gemini
- Thursday’s Influences: 6; Uruz, Cauda Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 35.6 Rectification; Moon Phase: Waxing, 1st Qtr
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. Although your ideas are well-received by others this week, you could still experience frustration in accomplishing your goals. Before assuming someone else is undermining your efforts, is your approach or mindset the actual cause? Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in minutiae and fail to see the bigger picture. If possible, step away from the situation to get a better perspective.
Thursday, 15 August 2024
Because of a shift in perception, you’re able to shape your experiences in a way that promotes healing and inner strength. You’ve let go of self-sabotaging behaviors and you’re now able to move forward on a shared path with others.
Venus
- 12th House/Virgo; 1st House/Virgo 8/15-17
- Friday’s Influences: 7; Jera, Amissio; Human Design Gate/Line 64.3 Overextension; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous
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. Interactions with a partner may trigger uncomfortable emotions at the beginning of the week. Instead of becoming self-critical, accept how you feel and reassess the boundaries you’ve set with that person. Finances may also be an issue this week and expressing your feelings may be challenging. A practical approach may be the best option to preserve your financial security.
Friday, 16 August 2024
You may have overextended yourself today and you realize that you don’t have enough resources to carry on. It’s time for a rebalancing, emotionally and physically, so you more clearly assess the road ahead.
Saturn
- 7th House/Pisces; Retrograde
- Saturday’s Influences: 8; Sowilo, Carcer; Human Design Gate/Line 22.1 2nd class ticket; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. A conversation with a partner may result in reassessing your expectations this week. You may be trying to control a situation that should be more collaborative. Whether this applies to a co-worker or a life partner, your expectations may not be realistic and a change in perspective may be necessary to achieve your goals.
Saturday, 17 August 2024
It takes inner grace to remain in a lesser or subordinate position with others even when your leadership is necessary. In the long run, you’ll demonstrate to others that trying to control every situation only isolates them from others seeing their true worth and the acknowledgment they seek.
