- Sunday influences: 9; Tiwaz, Puella; Human Design Gate/Line 29.2 Assessment; Moon Phase: Waxing, Gibbous, Maiden
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. A lack of impulse control can leave you feeling off-balanced or uncomfortable at the beginning of the week.

Sunday, 18 August 2024
Sometimes speaking truth to power and expressing your ideals ends up feeling like you’re getting nowhere. But through cautious persistence, and setting a positive example, you may be able to counter any ambivalence and help others onto a new path.
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: 1; Othala, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 30.1 Composure; Moon Phase: Waxing, Full at 11:26a 27°Aq15
The Moon’s interaction with the various signs throughout the week impacts an individual’s emotions, moods, and vulnerabilities. You experience emotional satisfaction in your personal life and career; and, as the week begins, it’s time to play and network with old and new friends. However, as the week continues, your emotional balance may leave you feeling insecure. If you come across as erratic or unreliable, your ideas may not be as well-received as you’d like. Take additional time for yourself to regain your balance.
At the end of the week, you’re focused on taking care of a partner’s needs, and interactions with others improve. Managing your resources is key to feeling secure, and you feel grounded by the relationships you’ve built.
Monday, 19 August 2024
Remain calm amidst the chaos and disorder and avoid any impulsive decisions today. This is not a day for taking the bait from anyone, and by refusing to do so, you’re miles ahead of anyone caught up in their ego. Tonight’s Super Full Blue Moon in Aquarius increases your vision and your progressive mindset. As a result, you realize that your sacred space is more important than engaging in conflict or with any unstable forces.
Mars
- 10th House/Gemini
- Tuesday’s Influences: 2; Nauthiz, Cauda Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 45.4 Direction; Moon Phase: Waning, Full, Crone
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 maintain a mind/body/Spirit balance. Passions run high during this time and you need to be mindful of appropriate boundaries. If something doesn’t feel right, it likely isn’t; and, relying on your intuition will serve you well. At the end of the week, you adapt well to challenges and express empathy to others.
Tuesday, 20 August 2024
Although you’ve been overcoming challenges and restrictions, you need a better direction than manipulating others for personal gain will provide. It may be that others are influencing your choices, and the best option now is to walk away and set your sights on a new collaborative endeavor.
Mercury
- 12th House/Leo; 11th House/Leo 8/24; Retrograde (ends 8/28)
- Wednesday’s Influences: 3; Raidho, Tristitia; Human Design Gate/Line 29.1 The draftee; Moon Phase: Waning, Full
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. As Mercury retrograde continues, you consider how you come across to others and whether or not you leave room for their ideas and experiences. If you don’t respect the views of others, you may find expressing your own to be challenging. Until you feel more balanced, you may decide to keep your own counsel. At the end of the week, interactions flow more smoothly and you may develop new perspectives that motivate you to reconsider your plans for the future.
Wednesday, 21 August 2024
You adapt to changing circumstances today by letting go of negativity and judgment and integrating with others. You’re optimistic about the future, and a new rhythm is forming. Stay positive and watch a new journey begin.
Jupiter
- 10th House/Gemini
- Thursday’s Influences: 22; Tiwaz, Puer; Human Design Gate/Line 45.1 Canvassing; Moon Phase: Waning, Full
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. You may be frustrated during this period. It may be time to let go of old paradigms and pursue a new approach. Be sure to take advantage of networking opportunities, especially if you’re considering career advancement. You may be approaching the end of one phase and the beginning of a new one where practicality may be your best option.
Thursday, 22 August 2024
On this Master 22 day, you may stand up for the ideals of a group or cause and have a profound impact, and as a result, something significant may develop. You bring a wealth of experience to this new association which motivates them to expand their views. It’s as if you were made for this moment!
Venus
- 1st House/Virgo 8/15-17
- Friday’s Influences: 5; Ehwaz, Fortuna Major; Human Design Gate/Line 6.1 Retreat; Moon Phase: Waning, 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. Passion runs high this week and you’ll benefit from some self-restraint in both your relationships and finances. Focus on taking care of yourself and avoid being self-critical. Network with others if possible and avoid impulsive decisions. At the end of the week, instead of asserting yourself, you may behave as a victim due to a lack of emotional balance.
Friday, 23 August 2024
If you feel as if nothing is progressing today, take a step back and return to your sacred space where you control your experiences. Take a meditative journey via pathworking and explore your inner world. Let go of any self-reinforcing behaviors that impact your success and discover the intuitive bond you share with others. Come back to the outside world when ready.
Saturn
- 7th House/Pisces; 6th House/Pisces; Retrograde
- Saturday’s Influences: 6; Algiz, Tristitia; Human Design Gate/Line 22.1 2nd class ticket; Moon Phase: Waning, Disseminating
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. Although you’ve been reassessing your expectations regarding either finances or a partnership (or both), during the latter part of the week, an unexpected situation, possibly health-related, may arise. Whether it’s a partnership, your financial situation, or your health, it’s going to take some discipline as well as letting go of unworkable expectations to find a creative solution. This could be the time when everything comes together for you and a new direction becomes possible.
Saturday, 24 August 2024
If a situation hasn’t turned out as you’d have liked, let go of any sadness you’ve been experiencing and invoke Higher awareness to have the inner grace to remain in a lesser or subordinate position if necessary. Know that there’s value in where you are at this time and remaining upset over the outcome will only deter you from the path you’re on.
