Retrograde Planets – Mercury (Direct 8/28), Pluto, Ceres (Direct 8/26, Saturn, Neptune, Eris, Chiron
The Sun
- 12th House/Virgo
- Sunday influences: 7; Jera, Cauda Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 59.3 Openness; Moon Phase: Waning, Disseminating
The Sun’s influence impacts an individual’s identity, vitality, and ego expression. Your creativity is strong during this period; however, you prefer to take a more supportive role instead of one that involves leadership. During the latter part of the week, expressing your emotions may be challenging. If so, you could be experiencing an issue with your physical health relating to diet, lack of sleep, and so forth, which could impact your emotional balance. At the end of the week, you embrace the value and influence of spiritual teachers or mentors.
Sunday, 25 August 2024
You’re empowered by harmony with others and its impact on remaining open to new ideas and having respect for individual differences. Engaging with others in a balanced manner also allows you to reassess old perceptions as well as the boundaries you’ve set to make the most of the collaborative endeavor.
The Moon
- Various signs and houses: (9th/Taurus 8/25; 9th/Gemini 8/26; 10th/Gemini 8/27; 10th/Cancer 8/28/29; 11th/Cancer 8/30; 11th/Leo 8/31)
- Monday Influences: 8; Ehwaz, Albus; Human Design Gate/Line 16.2 The Cynic; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr at 2:26a 03°Ge38
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, your curiosity leads you to pursue study or travel that may involve spirituality, philosophy, or experiencing other cultures which you gladly share with others. However, your emotional balance may be also off during this time and you rely on established relationships for support.
As the week continues, although you want to be recognized in your career for your innovative and unique perspective; if things become too stressful, you may retreat to home or another space where you can regain your balance, reassess your approach, or consider a new strategy. At the end of the week, you enjoy spending time with friends and family and on creative pursuits
Monday, 26 August 2024
Remaining objective when assessing a partnership today will cut through any superficiality or cynicism that could impact your understanding. The intuitive bond you share will become evident and can be relied upon when expressing your views and achieving your goals.
Mars
- 10th House/Gemini
- Tuesday’s Influences: 9; Inguz, Populus; Human Design Gate/Line 12.3 Confession; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr
Mars invokes action, courage, passion, and strength in an individual. After a period of respite, you’re motivated to pursue a new career opportunity; however, at the beginning of the week, you may need to reassess established boundaries to avoid stepping over others. As the week continues, impulsivity may increase and you may come across as insensitive. At the end of the week, your own unhealthy choices may undermine your creativity.
Tuesday, 27 August 2024
Stay positive and do not give in to self-denigration if things don’t progress as quickly as you’d like. The potential is there to create something new if you don’t allow negativity from yourself and others to take hold and influence your perceptions. Stay focused and manifest a new future.
Mercury
- 11th House/Leo; Retrograde (ends 8/28)
- Wednesday’s Influences: 1; Perthro, Carcer; Human Design Gate/Line 4.3 Irresponsibility; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr
Mercury influences an individual’s communication style, thought processes, and how one negotiates or transacts with others. Because you’re appreciated for your perspective and the input you offer, someone may reach out to you about a new opportunity this week causing you to reevaluate your plans for the future.
In your personal life, your empathy for others is strong and you convey that understanding to someone in need of emotional support. However, at the end of the week, you may struggle with a partner’s concerns. It may be that more information is needed before you can respond.
Wednesday, 28 August 2024
Although you may succeed today despite a lack of self-discipline, it’s still an irresponsible choice because it can reinforce self-sabotaging behavior. The greater message is to understand and take responsibility for the choices you make and not become imprisoned by the ego’s hold on your mindset. Mercury ends its retrograde today; however, its effect (the shadow period) continues for another week, and although its effect is likely to be less of an influence, it could still impact achieving clarity.
Jupiter
- 10th House/Gemini; 9th/Gemini 8/26
- Thursday’s Influences: 11; Berkano, Laetitia; Human Design Gate/Line 45.2 Consensus; Moon Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and influences an individual’s growth, luck, abundance, and self-confidence. You may be approaching the end of one phase and the beginning of a new one where a new opportunity arises that leads either to advancement in your current career or to a new area of study. The status quo may be frustrating and you’re ready to make a much-needed change.
Thursday, 29 August 2024
Dropping resistance to the need to control allows you to make decisions today that reflect the common interest. In the process, you awaken to the truth that you’re part of a greater collective force and the path that opens can take you ever higher.
Venus
- 1st House/Virgo; 1st House/Libra 8/29
- Friday’s Influences: 3; Uruz, Conjunctio; Human Design Gate/Line 46.4 Impact; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic
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. Your creative approach increases harmony with a partner this week. After recommitting to your relationship, you and your partner respect each other’s need for independence. However, at the end of the week, you may become confused by a social interaction and it’s best to observe for the time being instead of reacting impulsively. Rely on your intuition and when it’s appropriate, respond with compassion and love.
Friday, 30 August 2024
Even with Mercury ending its retrograde on Wednesday, there may still be some scattered thinking that impacts communication with others today. To have a better impact, you may need to postpone an interaction until your thoughts settle and you feel more clear.
Saturn
- 6th House/Pisces; Retrograde
- Saturday’s Influences: 4; Dagaz, Cauda Draconis; Human Design Gate/Line 63.6 Nostalgia; Moon Phase: Waning, Balsamic
The planet Saturn slows things down, invoking realism, boundaries, restraint, and the impact of time on an individual. You may become frustrated during the week. It may be time to let go of old paradigms and pursue a new approach, especially if this involves a new career opportunity. Work may be stressful during this time and responsibilities could feel overwhelming. If it appears that you’re sabotaging your efforts, taking care of your emotional needs first may be the answer.
Saturday, 31 August 2024
It’s easy to remain stuck in old patterns; however, a new path may be opening where a new approach is necessary to make the most of the options before you. The hard work you put in now will serve you well in the end. Have patience, do your due diligence, and success may be in sight.
